Ball Tossers From the South Gain a* Victory by a Score of 5 to 1. —ae Los Angeles 5, San Francisco 1. The Germans took another slide down the toboggan yesterday afternoon and Mr. Morley, with his bunch of left-handed swatters, walked off the field of battle with smiles of satisfaction,” for the hour and fifteen minutes which they had la- bored netted them five runs, while the who_sport the black and yellow could do no better than send one over the | route, and but for Hartwell's wild throw they would have been whitewashed. The Angels owe their overwhelming vie- tory to Hartwell's excellent work in the box and Hutchinson's lucky drive over the center field fence when two men‘were on bases. p to this time the score stood 2 to 1 in their favor, and not another tally as made after this remarkable hit. Iburg seemed to settie down when the first fire was over and but one more safe hit was made off his delivery. Los Angeles sent & man home in the ini- tial inning. Atherton hit, as did C. Reilly and Bowman. Bowman's drive brought Atberton home, but Reilly was caught at the plate by Brockhoff's beautiful throw from the center garden. The next man went out quickly, the red legs scoring no more points until Hutchinson did his clever stunt in the fifth. In this round the orange growers cinched the game and blighted all of Uncle hopes. Hartwell took a walk to first, went cord on Reitz's hit and scored on Kelly’s_two-bagger to deep left. It was up to Hutchinson to say something, and he was not found wanting, for he placed the sphere on the other side of the right field fence, sending Reitz and Kelly in head of him. This was all that the An- gels could do in the way of making runs, but it was enough to give them the vic- tory. Nordyke and Hartwell were the chief in saving the locals from a com- shutout. In the fourth ‘‘Dyke” hit plete a simple one to the Los Angeles twirler, | | who w: uccessful in throwing it over Hutchinson's head and far into the bleache >rdyke completing the circuit before the ball was returned.

The challenger resembles the Columbia very much, so far as her underbody and fin are concerned. That the Shamrock 1T is & dangerous opponent was conceded by autumn breezes off Sandy Hook. How- ever, that the America’s cup is in peril of being “lifted” by Sir Thomas Lipton this year is by no means the oglnlon of conservative yachtsmen who looked upon the Shamrock II to-day. That she has intrinsic merit and will doubtless be hard to beat, was admitted, but everything about her hull that is meritorious has been gathered from American sources.

Brown’s Ac- | curate Game Wins ! at Burlingame. | The third annual competition for the | Poniatowski cup on the links of the Bur- lingame Country Club yesterday was pro- ductive of an interesting competition, | though it lacked the excitement that would have been caused by the presence of the contingent of ladles expected from Scuthern California. Mrs. Jean .W. Bow- All the curves are true and easy, | was comparatively clean. | The Valkyrie III was a wider and shal- | lower craft than the Defender. The Shamrock IT is a narrower boat than the Constitution. The Constitution, lacking the graceful curved lines of the challenger, has power and strength that me i Both should be pretty close in light heeling over to a commanding breeze the Constitution, owing to her greater lateral plane, should excel in windward. In reaching or running there may 1ot be such a pronounced difference, | th k. In the absence of cisive figures they are inclined to be pru- dent prophets, but that the challenger must allow the defender about a minute over a thirty- | well established. | " As a sea jockey the yachting men here- abouts hold that Captain Sycamore is equal to Captain Barr. In a flylng start, might get the better of Captain Rhodes, but as two minutes is allowed to cross the line in the actual cup races this may not prove an important factor. It is eaid that there is little doubt that the Constitution will be chosen to defend the cup. Although the honors are easy up to date, each having scored the same number of wins, still the Constitution is reckoned as the better all around craft. All afternoon the crew of the Shamrock and Mrs. H. H. Sherwood with Miss Edith McBean. Mrs. Brown made the first hole in 3 on the first round, while Miss Hager's drive landed in the bunker, from which she played back, but the hole cost her 8. Miss Hager not infrequently drove a long- er ball than Mrs. Brown, but her play through the green was not so accurate, and she had some hard luck in getting into places where her ball was almost un- playable in thick grass or bushes. Miss Crockett’s card showed three eights, while Mrs. Brown's had recorded on it only two sevens. At the conclusion of the contest the hardsome silver loving cup was filled with sparkling wine and presented to the inner. Tt will adorn the San Rafael Golf Club house for one month and will then be sent back to Burlingame with the win- ner’s name engraved on it. A comparison of the scores with which the cup has been won shows a great im- rovement in the quality of the play, for Miss Alice Moffitt won with Miss Caro Crockett's score last by Mrs. Brown, Miss Crockett and Mrs. H. H. Sherwogd and equaled by Miss Alice Hager. Some of the improvement {in the scores may be due to the course part at least may fairly be attributed to ers, the woman golf champion of the |the increased skiil of the fair golfers.

Mrs. Brown played steady, £ood goif throughout, making hardly half a dozen weak strokes during the contest. Her first round of 46 was the best for nine holes, though Miss Crockett's secon: round in 48 just beat Mrs. Brown’s secon in 49.

Davis made a complaint to Captain Sey- mour yesterday, and he was advised to swear out a warrant for the arrest of the men who swindled him, charging grand larceny by trick and device. The defend- ants are W. Haywood, an athletic trainer at the university; “John Doe” Gibson, who lives in San Leandro, and another man, who was the stakeholder. The war- | rant was sworn to before Judge Ca- baniss and was sent to Oakland to be served upon the three defendants. “I had known Haywood and Gibson for about three weeks,” said Davis, “‘and all the time they -vere at me to advance the | $500 for a footrace between them.

Preceding the regular card two of the Santa Rosa trotting farm’'s horses went an exhibition mile for new marks. Almorta, a black mare, finished in 2:29% and Moringa King, by McKinney out of Bye-Bye, put his figure at 2:25. George Ramage drove in both instances. The first event of the day was a five- furlong handicap with five entries. l‘). Dunn’s Pegalong sold at even money in the betting, with Burrough's mare, Dia- mond, at the same figure just before the start. Alviso rode Pegalong and Mc- Nichols was astride the mare. The position taken at the start was maintained all the way in, Diamond fin- ishing first in 1:02, with George Richard- son’s Grass, a bay gelding, as his op- ponent. Pegalong made a hard try for the show, but was beaten by Rector’s Peut Btre after a hot drive down the BUFFALO, N.

The contest between Harry Eilkes, Edouard Taylore and Ray Duer for the hour exposition invitation middle-distance championship and a purse of $1000 became a procession after the fifth mile, for Elkes held both men at a safe distance, having lapped the Frenchman four times and Duer once. FElkes broke the records for every mile from the second up to and in- cluding the nineteenth. Elkes then let up and at the end of the hour he had covered 38 miles 1680 yards, which is about one mile behind the record. The final of the one-mile championship, professional, between Kramer, the circuit leader, and Lawson created keen interest. Kramer caught Lawson napping in the last eighth and had worked up xtga.;gi stretch. sprint before Lawson realized t: A decidedly interesting finish marked | final struggle was on. Kramer won by the second race, a _three-quarter-mile | two lengths. Major Taylor was scratch man in the final of the nalf-mile handicap, profes- sional. He made a spurt at the pistol shot and caught the leaders in the first quarter. On the lower turn of the last lap Bowler of Chicago crossed in front of the major, causing him to slacken speed and run up on the bank. The col- ored rider made a bid for first money with this handicap and Wilson, Bowler and the major were inches apart at the finish. The judges disqualified Bowler and gave Taylor second money.
