SPORTS OF THE AMERICAN RUNNING TURF, THE BASEB TAKING TWO MORE GAMES FROM THE OAKLAND TEAM Joe Corbett Allows Cripples No Runs After Over- coming Wildness in First Two Innings. —— HE Angel champions will perform no more this year at the Eighth- street baseball park. They gath- ered up their bats and things and sald good-by to thg noisy fans on the bleachers and the more reserved ele- ment in thé stands. But ere they made their getaway they beat the Cripples 11 to 2. In the morning it was the same way, only the score happened to be 15 to 9. Though a day that makes baseball worth the watching, the smallest Sunday crowd of the season watched through those nine Innings of sand-lot ball: There were large holes in the spacious bleachers and the big grandstand was shy many hundred admirers of the national pastime who are wont to hie themselves thither of a bright Sunday afternoon. Nor did the piaying of the rival teams warrant a better attendance. Except in the early stages of the contest, while the score remained a tie, it was a wofully half-hearted affair, lacking that life and ginger that has made baseball a sport worth viewing. The Cripples were hope- lessly outclassed. They realized the fact even better than did those who watched the game, Joe Corbett was, as usual, the brightest light of the show. He got in wrong and remained so for an inning or more. But as soon as he steadied his wing and gath- ered hig wits the Cripples were entirely at his mercy. Not one of their number imprinted his foot on the home plate for seven innings. Graham started as well as an erratic southpaw usually does, and he was more than himself till the sixth inning hove in sight. Then the bats of the southern glants began to swing with a certainty that always makes base hits possible. After two blonde left-hander began to lob the ball up and quit without an effort. When the seventh opened, Peter un- folded a new one, also of the left-hand variety, on the crowd. His name is Hitt, an inappropriate one for a pitcher, but nevertheless he was in the game some and would have done well had he good command over his curves, One of the bright spots of the ginger- less struggle was the magnificent throw- ing to bases on the part of Father Pete. The veteran whipped them down to sec- ond so fast and with so much accuracy that the fleet-footed Angel base runners were caught time and time again. Ross did some pretty fielding out in left and the work of Corbett in gathering in slow bunts and covering first base was worth The score: going miles to see. Oakland. Hitt, p.

George Nethercott’s Barge carried off the honors at Union Coursing Park yes- terday, defeating Gambit in the all-im- portant deciding course. Off badly, Gam- bit came from behind and took the turn by two lengths. The hare broke from him repeatedly. This, coupled with Barge be- ing the better worker, returned the Sac- ramento greyhound a winner. The score was 11 to 6. The hares were particularly strong. Six hounds were withdrawp, owing to the hard running to which they were sub- jected. E. Geary's Fair Oaks fell a vic- tim to the severe running, dying after a three-minutes and fifteen seconds course, There were comparatively few upsets with all the long trials. Silver Clold, a 1-to-8 choice, was outgamed by Greenhall and beaten. Vina won twice on the short end, defeating Ione Hill and Semprontus.

Frank Jones’ Wedgewood, a hound that was once a crackajack, but which retro- graded to a two-course winner, surprised the wise ones vesterday at Ingleside Park by taking first honors In the big coursing stake. Throughout the entire running Wedgewood put the men with money in bad humor by his persistent winnings. Every time Wedgewood left the slips it was against a heavily played favorite, He managed to win out by his cleverness. When it came to the final the heavy bet- tors became a bit afraid and cut down the odds until they forced the big white dog close to even money. It did not take long to have Wedgewood show his training and in quick time he took the flag from Co- sette. A few weeks ago Frank Jones about had his mind made up to send ‘Wedgewood to the city pound and he came in for considerable joshing when his hound landed the stake without a bet placed by his owner.

The champion Vancouver lacross team won a fast and exciting game of la- crosse from the All-California team yes- terday afternoon at National Baseball Park, Ninth and Bryant streets, by a score of 9 to 5. Both teams were in ex- ceptionally good form and the game was closely contested throughout. The team work and general play of the Vancouver experts was superior to that of the native talent, although the latter team played in better form than it has heretofore. The admirers of the home players were elated over the way they performed and they were cheered time and time again for each clever plece of work. - There was a large crowd in at- tendance and much enthusiasm was shown. —_—————— CARACAS, Oct. 18.—Dr. Jose Jesus Paul has been appointed special agent of Venezuela to The Hague Arbitration Tribunal.

MacGavin, the California Club Crack, Shows Great Skill. —_— Several hundred spectators were treat- ed to an exhibition of good tennis yester- | day on the public courts in Golden Gate Park. The majority of the matches were close and interesting. Ten of the 104 play- ers entered are still in the competition. Seven of these have reached the fourth round and will receive prizes. They are Guy Lytton, Herbert Long, . Clarence Griffin, Will Allen, Neil Baker, J. D. Mac- Gavin and George Janes. George Baker will meet the winner of the unfinished match between James Code and Horace Mann. The winner will make the eighth man to play in the fourth round. MacGavin was. the star performer and played some great tennis. He had a hard match with J. R. Lewis and won by a small margin. In his match with Russell he was at his best and drove splendidly. The only one of the good players to lose was R. N. Whitney. In his match with Code he did not exert himself greatly. Alien and MacGavin are the only scrateh men left. Charles Teller, who was beaten by Al- len, had an excellent chance by beating the scratch man, but lost through a mis- take of the referece. Teller had a lead of 4-3 in the flnal set and Allen was back ‘30" when the referee found Teller had been receiving the wrong handicap. He decided the last set should be played over. It went to Allen easily. The set shouid | have been completed with the proper handicap instead of being played over. Neil Baker playing from scratch looms |up as a possible winner. Final honers | should fall to either MacGavin or one of the Baker brothers. The closest match of the day was that J between MacGavin and Lewis. Lewis made good use of the liberal handicap allowed him and forced the California Club crack to play his best to win.
