Peter LOhman Turns Loose
a Weird Crew, but They
All Play Fine Baseball
SCHMIDT is INVINCIBLE
Commuters Bunch a Lot of
Hits on Baum in Second
Round Which Net Three
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
CPacihc Coast League.

Peter Lohman gathered a motley
throng OF baseball players yesterday
and took a LAST chance 10y turning
them loose against the Angels. All
the fans were surprised when they
saw Moskiman at third, Stark in Ju-
lie Streib's clothes and Graham max
ing high signs from far-away left
field. But the Angels did not do any
laughing. Far from ii. They took
second money. Score, to l.
1t can be justly said that Oakland
never played a better game. No one
erred and hard chances were eaten
like luncheon. Moskiman' played
third base as we'll as Jimmy Collins
ever did in his life, and the way Dun
leaYy slowed away the torrid ones
around short made some of the fans
forget Buck Francks ever drew
salary from Cal Ewing.
Then, to make everything right,
Schmidt pitched real big league ball.
Except for one run in the second in
ming, the Angels never could get
TO help out in the tight places four
swell double plays were made to the
beWilderment of the southern con-
tingent.
Baum was hit hard, but at that
Oakland was just a little bit lucky.
After two had been dead in the sec
Ond spasm, Graham swung on one and
sent it slowly creeping to Brashear.
Baum tarried a trifie too long before
covering the sack and the man was
safe. Stark lifted one over Floods
head and Byrnes swung through to
center field, bringing Graham safely
over the final jump.
Both runners were advanced a bag
and Schmidt chopped one to Flood.
Timothy was waiting for the sphere
and was getting ready to wing 1T over
to Brashear when ii developed ping
pong twist, bounded over his head and
out to left field, and both men
sneaked in.
Nor did the run-getting end there.
Dunleavy walloDed a slow one in the
fourth. and il never stopped till it
reached Ringgold street and landed in
the gutter. The only Angel run was
the result of a double by Cravath in
the second, followed by Chase's sacri-
fee and Toman's drive to the left
garden.
MOskiman handled his nine chances
in great shape. He was full of life
and action and never played better
ball Not an error marred the play
on either side. A one-handed pick
up by Chase at second brought down
the stand and bleachers. The score:

HOLD FRESHMEN
DOWN TO zero
Berkeley High School Boys
Prevent College Youths
From Getting Over Line
FEEL LOSS OF SPERRY
Frequent Changes in Make
up Account for Poor
Showing at Football

BERKELEY. Sept. 21.-EIeven lit
tie fellows from the Berkeley High
School made it so warm for the Cali
fOrnia freshmen on the university cam
pus this afternoon that the bigger fell
lows couldn't score in either half OF the
trial at football. The freshmen did not
seem to get together and there was
never any time when they had the high
school boys goal in danger. Rather 1t
was just the other way. for five min
utes after play began the Berkeleyans
had the ball so nearly over the fresh
men goal line that it was uncOmfort-
able for the 'rOOters." 1t was largely
accidental, no doubt, but accidents
often win football games. II ali ended
to 0.
The freshmen weakness was due
mostly to the absence of Sperry, who
is now of the varsity. and the frequent
changes in the line and backs. 1t was
all to the disadvantage of the fresh
men, but then they ought to have done
better with their superior weight and
experience. SnOwdon, right half. was
about the only freshman who distin-
guished himself, his attacks on the line
being always good for some new
ground. Peck. Stone. FarrOw and Mil
Ter were conspicuous on the Berkeley
side.
The lineup was as follows:

CANS FORFEIT is UP.
AL Hereford Posts $1,000 for Match
With Britt at 1873 Pounds.


Al Hereford, Joe Cans manager
reached here last night from Balu-
more. His first act was 70 post $lOVU
I'm cash as a forfeit TO bind match
with Jimmy Britt at 1913 pounds tor
the lightweight championship OF the

Hereford stipulates that Cans is to
meet Walcott. and Britt is TO meet
Young COrbett, as already planned
and that the outcome or lnesS
matches is not to have any oearlhs
on the fight for the lightweight cham
pionship between Britt ana cans.
Hereford saws the match must be
made. if at all, before Cans and wal

RUBBER FOR HAWAII.

If Hawaii can produce a good quality
of rubber it ought to start in, for that
commodity is becoming scarcer and
more valuable every day. Rubber is
now at it's highest price since 1864,
s1.2S per pound, In that year the price
went ten cents better and by next year
it ought, in the nature of things to be
exceeded.
A Boston dispatch says:
The condition today is the result not
OF any corner or of any manipulation,
but of the working out of the law of
supply and demand. The increasing
uses for rubber have exceeded the
ability of the gatherers in South Amer
lea and Africa to supply them.
The main source of supply of the
worlds rubber is the Amazon river
valley in South America, and the pro-
duct is marketed mostly through the
port of Para. The government Of
Brazil levies an export tax on all rub
Der shipments, so that it is impossible
to keep an accurate record of the pro-
duction.
The record of production of the Anna
zon river region for the past five years
has been as follows, for the year
ended June 80:
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-09-27

upward and shows no indication of de-
Ginning.
The advance in crude rubber forced
the rubber shoe companies to increase
the price of their products 121s per
cent early in the year, a second adj
vance within the year, and the me-
chanicaI companies increased their
prices 10 per cent. Since that time,
however, crude rubber has advanced
10 cents per pound, the mechanical
companies have again withdrawn their
prices and will probably make another
advance, and it is not improbable that
the rubber shoe companies will be
obliged to again advance, although
owing to the character of their bust
ness, this is difficult matter and seri-
ousIy affects their trade interests.
It is believed that in both rainy and
dry belts of the various larger islands
rubber of various kinds would thrive.
In that case Hawaii could do no bet
ter than to plant rubber trees above
the forest line and to encourage private
owners, as was done with pineapples,
to go into the business.
