' Ran Francisco, Cal., Aug. 1. Despite tha warlike behavior of Kaiser Frank Leavitt, emperor of tha Oaks, the belligerent Beavers turned loose with their -heavy artillery today and won another victory, 7 to 2. The kaiser sat on a high elevation , much ' distance away and thought 1 dreadful things about the umplfes. lie didn't say then out loud, but oh, how . .he did think 'em! And the battle raged ... '. . on. ' ;. Sometimes the umpires are termed arbitrators. - ' ' If they really are arbitrators, the k alner la opposed to arbitration. Ap ' patently,, the German army that " "stepped up to the kaiser's pay window v on the first and fifteenth of each month had recovered from Its panic of Friday, and was determined to do its stolid. If, inefficient, .best. The v-,! Oaks, fought not for their altars or their fires, but just-to fill In the nine Innings. Neverthelesw, they snowed - ; marked Improvement mentally over : their behavior of Friday. 'Tis true . ' they- lost, but tliey did not .fill our - souls with rage or pity. - Kigg in Form. ' H While1 vthe fuming kaiser chewed a perfectly good cigar Into tatters, Irve lllggtnbotham, subduer of Gcr- , , mans, engineered the Beavers to vic- . tory. He pitched a four hit game. On the other hand, Harry Abies, oc . cupylng a strategic position from -Which he had a blrdseye view of the . battleground and plenty of opportunity ;- to look into' the weak points of the enemy, was not equal to the situa- tion. 'While he was looking the Beavers were acting. They punched 1 many holes In the Abies ego in the first , seven Inriings, after which, the Texan .laed German retired In favor of Tyler Christian, who has long striven vainly tt Introduce the Oaks to Christian Scl 'nce... ; In 'the",.aeeo'nd inning. Gunner Abies, losing hie range. Issued a walk to Korerir-;afid Leber's sacrifice and a two ' bagger by Derrick "sent over' a run. Rodger doubled In -the sixth. Then Da via and Korea bunted In succession, ' ' and Captain Bill scored. So far, however, the trend of eent . . , had not been in accora witn custom, t ' The Oak's had. managed to keep them- selves- looming up aa possibilities. To V .'do theni Justice, they may be consia ered possibilities at almost any time, but they must be registered as Im probabilities with a capital 1, - Wild Pitch Starter. ' la the seventh the invading Beavers broke loose. They needed rations, per , haps, and so set out to gather in some - German noodles. If Kaiser Wilhelm's troops are as shy In the noodles as Kal- - ser Leavltt's, Berlin is going to have a : Russian governor before the Germans realize it. '. ( Iq thia seventh inning Buddy Ryan drew a walk. Yants sacrificed and j Hlggiahotham went to first on a third -strike that was a wild pitch, Bancroft . singled. . Then Bill Speas tripled. . Thus three runs were scored. Rodgers - - walked and Captain Bill and Speas uccesafully manipulated the double 'steal, Speas scoring. Bobby Davis was out on a wonderful pickup by Guest. ,But then came Art Korea with the in Sacramento, Cal.i Aug. l.--Behlnd vvhat. the record book may show is the truth that today's session between the Tigers and Wolves was not a ball game. The Tigers had their batting togs on and the Sacramento pitchers did not have anything on the ball. The Venetians as a result hit safely In every inning, piled up 21 hits, and made them count for 1' runs, while the Wolves were only able to gather three tallies 'after f'leharty had re lieved Hoy Hitt. Bill Malarkey. tried it and left seven runs and two men on as Ray Kremer's inheritance. Hosp .met Kremer's first pitched ball for a double that cleaned the bases of what Malarkey had left. Captain Wolverton assumed a dis gusted look and wandered out to the mound himself in the eighth and the Tigers proceeded to disabuse his mind of any ideas that be might still be a pitcher, by pounding in three runs. While Roy Hitt was on the mound the Wolves made only three hits in six innings. When Venice was leading, 11 to 0, Fleharty took the mound In the seventh and the Wolves managed to bunch up five hits in the next two in nings for three runs. The Tigers had 27 men on the bases during the slugfest and hit safely in every inning, bunching their hits in six out of nine frames. The score: TENICB. AB. R. H. PO. A. . ES. Carlisle, if.

The Chicasro ooy is fast and puts lots ; of force into his blows. Since taking up his quarters on the ocean beach he has put on weight and will probabjy weigh more in inis contest with Azevedo man be ever, did In a ring- before. As a rule White does not weigh more than 129 pounds In the ring but he has jumped. up tq. 132 now and his manager, Nat Lewis, says he will be about 131 when he boxes Asevedo. That will make the match almost an even affair as far as poundage is con cerned, as Azevedo can make 132 with out any. trouble. The weight for this match is 133 pounds so that both boys will get into' action without having to go tnrougn any reducing process. Match With. Sltcaie Expected. The winner of the bout will prob ably be matched with - Willie Ritchie for a fall match unless the former champion wants to take a rest now that Tie .has no crown pressing on ills temples. wuiie will be home soon now and we wllU then get the first hand account of the London bout which seems to have hurt Willie's feelings. He. had nothing to say about the verdict at the time, but the more he thinks about it the more Ritchie feels that he was robbed.

STANDING OF THE TEAMS Taclflo Coast Leagns. Dave Fultz, president of the Players' fraternity, who recently made Ban Johnson, big mogul of baseball, back down In the Kraft case, receives but $2000 yearly for his services. The amount that Fultz draws down 'was made public through the desire of one of the directors to disprove the rumor that rich financial rewards induced Fultz to take up the cause of the play ers. This director also . furnished proof of the fact that Fultz . recently refused a boost In salary, pointing out the need Of a "fat treasury as a future protective measure." A prominent member of the New York Giants asserts that the team would have stood by the fraternity had a strike been ordered as a result of the Kraft dispute, but that all were glad that a clash was avoided. But you may rest assured,' he said. "that all of the members. of the fra ternity would have walked out if it had come to a- showdown. It would have meant a heavy loss to us, as we tuna we nave a cnance to get part of the world series money, but we had made up our minds to stand it until things could be straightened out" . Won.

His father was a lawn tennis enthusiast, anxious for his soa r to win success In the game, and un-- der his strict and painstaking coach ing the youth who was to become a champion was moulded. The style, if one may say so, was home-made. It had several obvious faults. Now they have disappeared. Wilding ia a New s Zealander by birth. 32 years ago, but he is an English lawn tennis player by teaching, study and manufacture. -t Wilding entered English lawn ten nis when the school was far richer : In talent than-, at the Present time. ' and be was an apt pupiV quick, to grasp the methods of -thsT master The individuality of the man is so J strong that it Cannot be said that ha has moulded his style on that of any particular plsyotv but Wilding would be the first ko admit the benefits he gained 'from the teachings of ths ; Dohertys and others. He realized bis F own limitations, and with a thor- oughnesa that waa extraordinary set to work to lessen them. To a vary large extent his triumph has coma as the result of his own unaided effort, lie fashioned his style best to suit hi own abilities, and today we, can see-:, the almost perfect player. r Practiced for Hours. He is described a the C. B. Fry of tennis, and the description is a good one. in the sense thst each has made" himself. Stories are told, of ow Wilding spent hours In the fives court during his undergraduate days at Cambridge, playing the same shot time after time until it came correct ly and easily to him; how be woull pay a boy to throw the ball up to him in order that he might practice hit ting overhead, and how, with the same' inexhaustible patience, he de voted months to acquiring the English method of playing with ' the baclc hand. For a long time after comlngr Into open competition Wilding was weak on the left hand side of the court but he never went back, though the temptation must have been great to the style of striking the ball on the back hand with the same side it the racquet as Cat used for the for) hand stroke. The only doubt about the Wilding of today Is bow good be really is, and what rank he takes amongst the celebrities of the game. Most of the stiffness has gone out of his style, and there is a glorious freedom about hie strokes. Ills fore hand . drive, made with great power that is splen didly controlled, is his cbleT strength. but he is confident and thoroughly re liable on the back hand. . - He Has Jffo Weakness. - He has no weakness that aa opponent can play "on to" and exaggerate, and that is the secret of his success. . And with all his soundness there is Juat that touch of brilliance one can hard ly call ft genlua to lift him above hie rivals and claimants to the title of champion of the world. . No man has ever deserved the title of world's champion better than this New Zealand born and English msde player..
