L. Portland .. eattle .. 00| Oakland 78 400 HE crack of the merry basehit be- T gan to sound just as the game vesterday between the Cripples and the home team was well under way. It continued to act as music to the ears of the Cripples and as a death march | to uncle’s men till the game had run its course and all was at an end for the day. The Cripples had gotten away with one of the iest victories of the year and the score was 7 to 4. Hodson managed to get through the first inning without allowing any of his opporients to squeeze over the plate, but in the second they began to get ex- | tremely familiar with the little man's de- | liberate offerings. ffhey opened up on him without the slightest warning and the fusillade did not stop till three runs arrived. But the members of the home team seemed determined and at once set about to do a few stunts with the club them- selves. They got busy enough for a while and two hits, coupled with a base on balls and a pair of errors by Smith and Lohman, put two over the plate and awakened fnterest and hope in the hearts of the local fan: But the onward march of the Cripples was not to be stopped. In their half of the same spasm they again opened fire on Hodson's delivery and this time they | soused the ball around the lot till two more runs resuited. San Francisco made one more grand effort in the fourth round and succeeded in landing twice, t after that they never got iuto the ng for an instant. The game was interesting for the very fact that there was plenty of hitting and a lot of fast work on the part of the outfielders, especially’ O'Hara and Mur- dock. Lee pitched good ball after the third inning had passed and after that he held uncle’s bunch in check. E Svery man on the Oakland team hit the., ball safely once or oftener, with the ex- ception of Buck Francks. Messerly lined out the only long hits of the game, a pair of doubles, and both went to left field Murdock and Schwartz each made three hits and Schwartz scored as many runs. Dr. Moskiman was put off the grounds by Umpire McDonald in the fourth round for talking from the bench. The score: San Francisco— AB. R. H. P. A R.H.P.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 14—A gale of wind that blew clouds of dust deross the dfamond greeted the fans at Oak Park this afternoon and at times tbe dust was so dense that the players had to suspend their work and walt for it to settle. Brown, who pitched for Sac- ramento, had his game won up to the cighth inning, when a two-base hit and a bunt caused him to lose his head.

Kinney Lou, 2 73 eran horseman, Budd Doble, is expected to share the honors of the year with the great daughter of Sidney Dillon. On Tues- day he won the $000 Empire stakes for owned by the vet- 20 trotters at New York, beating the winner of the $10,000 M. and M. stakes de- cided at Detroit. He beat a field of twelve in straight heats in 2:09, 2:07%. Kinney Lou went East last year a five-year-old with a record of 2:40. He Is entered for every great stake down the grand ecir- cuit for which he is eligible. Chief aomng these is the Transylvania, the richest harness event of the year. Doble who drove his horse to victory, is a veteran of the track. Thirty-six vears ago he drove Dexter to a world’s record of 2:17%. - He then drove Goldsmith Maid to a record of 2:14. In 1592 he drove Nancy Hanks in 2:04. Mr. Doble sent Goldsmith Mald 332 heats in 2:30 or better, The names of the great horses he has driven would fill a volume. Kinney Lou is a son.of McKinney, 2:11%, and some horsemen predict he will wrest the championship from Cresceus.

NEW CLUBS HAVE BEEN ORGANIZED Several Excellent Players of Association Football Busy in Forming Elevens Olympics Are to Put Team on the Field for Cham- pionship of Next Season SSOCIATION footballers are looking A forward to the opening of the com- ing season of the California Asso- clation Football League. Next Thursday, August 20, a smoker will be held at Scottish Hall, 109 Larkin street, at which many well- known artists will per- form. President Tallesin Evans will de- liver an address on the game. The clubs that were in existence last season will be reorganized, and some new ones have been formed. The American- British Rifles, the winners of the cham- pionship last season, will hold a meeting this week to make up their team. Many of the players of last season will be in their ranks, though “Percy” Chambers and Shand have joined other elevens. The Independent Association Football Club has already a list of sixty members, and expects to put a strong team on the fleld. The Fay brothers, who played last season in the team of the Vampires, ren- dering excellent service in the forward line, have joined the Independents. Pol- lock and Franklin of the San Francisco ciub have also become members of the Independent club. The Vampire club hopes to be able to put as strong a team as ever into the field, having taken some good new men to replace those that it has lost. The Albion Rovers, as the Albion Lodge club of Oakland is now named, hope to reach the premier position at the end of the coming season. P. R. Johns, the well- known member of the San Francisco County Cricket Club, has been chosen captain, and Churchill of last year's vie- torious Rifles’ eleven wil! be in the ranks. Forrest, formerly of the American-Brit- ish Rifles, is organizing a Thistle club and has secured the adhergnce of most of the Scotch footballers of the city and neigh= borhood. Among these acquisitions is Shand, who played center forward last season in the Rifles’ team. Edgar Pomeroy, formerly of the Rifles, is the leading spirit of the Oakland Hornets, among whom are numbered ‘Percy” Chambers, Harry Bird and Arnold Hun- ter. ¢ The Occidental Athletic Club of Hayes Valley will put a team into the fleld, V. Holland being its organizer. Frank Hol- land will be included in its ranks. The men are for the most part new to the game, but have already begun practice in Golden Gate Park. Captain McKie of the Olympic Club is organizing an Olympic team and has eight men already. About half-a-dozen of the men have played assoclation football in Great Britain and others are learning the game. A practice will be held next Sun- day on the Recreation Grounds, Golden Gate Park. The picnic given last Sunday at the Ger- mania Gardens in aid of the funds of the French Association Football Club was highly successful. Despite its heavy cost, a considerable sum will be turned over to the club. On Friday, September 4, the annual meeting of the California Association Football League will be held for the pre- sentation of reports and the election of officers, The Pickwick Lodge of the Sons of St. George has formed a club, of which Wat- ers, Lubie and Brokenshire are members.
