0AKL4NDERS MAKE
A Quite EXCITING
GARRISON FINISH
LOhman's Stars All but Tie
Up the Score With a Great
Rally in the Ninth Round
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

1t reminded the ancient fans of the
days Of the old Haverleys yesterday
afternoon when Pete Lohman's Oak
land tossers began to wallop the ball
in the ninth inning. They batted two
runs over the rubber to the tune of the
joyous yells Of the multitude and then
quit. So Tacoma triumphed, to 2.
But that finish was a real Garrison
boy and will be remembered some.
With one out, Kruger hit an easy one
to Casey. He threw badly to first and
so the runner was safe. Then Dun
leavy popped up a Texas Lacquer"
to center, which many went after but
no one caught. Schafly tore a torrid
binsle right past the first base line
and Kruger came romping home amid
the yells of the multitude.
Dunleavy got to third on the hit.
and when Streib produced long fly
to left field Dun chased over the plate.
Then Brick Devereaux responded with
beautiful drive to right, which sent
Schafiy to third. At this point the en-
thusiasm Of the crowd knew no bounds.
Devereaux promptly stole second and

was called in to take a crack at the ball
in place of Bottiger
The fans were breathless when st.
Vrain threw two balls and two strikes
to the doctor. Then fast one came
sailing over the rubber and the medi-
cal man swung on 1t. But the ball
only got as far as second and Casey
quickly devoured it, putting an end to
a great game.
Young Emerson, the youth from San
Jose, made his first professional ap-
pearance as a pitcher for the Oakland
team and should have won his game.
The youth made great showing, keep
ing his hits scattered all the time and
fielding beautifully. Two of the Ia
coma runs came in on errors by Bot
tiger and Streib and the third was the
result Of a home run by Truck" Eagan
in the fourth inning. Truck" hit
the leather over the left field fence for
the longest drive of the season
st. Vrain, for Tacoma, pitched a won
derful game and had the Oakland play
ers completely mystified in every in4
ming but the ninth, when they made
such a noble bid for the game. He
struck out eight men in all and walked
but two. The score:

CONTEST is POOREST
SEEN IN THIS CITY IN MANY YEARS
Spectators Applaud Sacay the Feeble Efforts of the Coored
Cadiators and Then Silently Retire From the Scene of the
Alleged BatteMcVey Shows No Qualifications Boxer

Twenty seconds before the close of
the twentieth round in their fight in
Mechanics Pavilion last night Jack
johnson knocked oCt Sam McVey.
This brought 10 a close one OF the poor
est fights ever seea ia this city. II
marked the FIRST exhibition Of the
Shasta Club. which butte6 into the
boxing game here only to give il a de-
ci6ed setback.
For a time the spectators aprlauded
satiricaily the feeble swings and jabs
Of the boxers Then they jaered the
alleged gladiatoTs. and finally many OF
then made their way out Of the build
ing. leaving a small proportion OF the
attendance TO sit out each tiresome
round.
McNey proved possessed Of but one
quality necessary in the makeup of a
fighter. He could and did take a lot of
punishment without fiinching. Beyond
this he did nothing. For round after
round he did not land a blow on the
elusive Johnson. and his mighty right

Johnson showed all the cleverness
for which he is noted He landed an
incredible number Of blows on Nc

his advantage. He had his opponent

the round. Johnson went after him
again in the SECOND round, sending in
rights and lefts with great regularity.
MeVey seemed to shake up Johnson
early in the third round with right
to the body and then missed some wild
swings TO the head. Johnson landed
two hard rights to the body in the
fourth round. Johnson varied the fifth
then for the body
Johnson staggered McVey in the
sixth round with a right to the head,
but the bell stopped proceedings before
he could do any further damage.
The fight slowed down to snail's
pace in the seventh and eighth rounds
and the crowd yelled to throw them
out" Johnson livened things up in the
ninth round, staggering McVey with a
right to the head Most Of the fight
ing done during the evening was in
this round. Johnson wrestled McVey
down in the tenth round and kept up
his piston rod left.
Johnson was busy in the eleventh
round but did little damage In the
twelfth he had McVey groggy again,
but let him come to. There was no
fighting from this point on to the nine
teenth and twentieth rounds.
In the preliminaries, Frank Fields
stopped Arthur Williams in the fifth
round. Williams was knocked down
and lost track of the count, although
he was able TO go on. Fred Landers
knocked out Jack Dougherty in the
fourth round with a right to- the jaw.
i
sent down for the count of seven. He
then knocked Landers down twice, both
boxers staggering about the ring in a
dazed condition. The gong saved
Dougherty in the third round, but in
the fourth he retired.

CONTEST ENDS SUDDENLY.
The sudden end Of the contest proved
a surprise. There had been but little
work done from the twelfth to the
nineteenth round. In the latter John
son took chance and staggered Nc
Vey with rights ard lefts to the head
McVey was nearly out, the principal
damage being done him by a hard left
TO the body. When he came up for the
last round his head had hardly
cleared and Johnson went at him
again.
He landed repeatedly to the head of
the Oxnard man and then scored
quickly with a right and left to the
jaw. The force. of the blows turned
McVey completely around and he fell

breathing heavily until he had been

BITTER FEELING EXISTS.
Russians Hold England and America
Responsible for Trouble. -

St Petersburg, Feb 10.-The news
papers in general denounce the action
of Japan as being treachery, declaring
that it is truly ASiatic," but insisting
that the issue of the conflict will not be
decided by the naval engagements, as
the Japanese will have to meet Russia
on dry land, when the scores will be
wiped out. The NoVoe Nyrmea says
it is quite possible that the whole of
Korea has been overrun by japanese
soldiers in disguise and that Russia
may first have to assume the defensive,
but when her forces in southern Man
churia and Korea are increased the
Japanese will realize what they have
to meet. God, right and international
law are on our side,'' the Russ says.
lone hundred and thirty million Rus
sian hearts are beating in unison in
the desire to eXpunge the traitorous
slight on Russian honor. Enough OF
defensive tactics: let US drive out the
foe.''
The Bourse Gazette, says:
Yesterday we longed for peace Now
we think only of war. The world soon
be startled by Russia's heroic work.
Japan has placed herself beyond the
pale of civilization. The upstart, pigrny
japanese will not have dared to attack
the giant Russia without the encour-
agement of England and America
In this connection the Russ claims
to have authority for saying that the
two new Japanese warships, the Nissin
and Kasuga. were saved from certain
capture by the Russian squadron
bound for the far east under Admiral
Wiereius' by the action of the COM
mander of British battleship in plac-
ing his vessel across the Suez canal
and hosting a signal of distress. thus
delaying the Russians two DAYS.
The anti-British feeling here is bit
ter, it being asserted that the Iapa-
nese attack on Port Arthur was
launched from Wei-Hai-Wei. Ambas-
sador Mccormick is busy taking over
the affairs of the Japanese legation.
In spite of the state of public feel
ing there has been no attempt to mo-
lest M. Kurino. the retiring Japanese
minister. The authorities are accord
ing NJ Kurino special protection. He
has had no communication with the
foreign office since the delivery of the
last Japanese note and has made his
farewell call. He will leave st. Peters
burg quietly tonight
General Dragamirov arrived in st.
Petersburg today. He is one of Rus
sia's greatest fighters, and may be APP
pointed commander-in-chief. as Cen
eraI Kuropatxin, the war minister,
probably cannot be spared.
The government is sending 300 extra
locomotives for use on the Manchuria
railway.
