srANp1Ne or THE cLuBs.

The days when big Overall held the
Indian sign high over the heads of the
Commuters are no more. They can
go in and get the big fellow now, and
when he has not bunch of control at
his command it is even more easy for
Uncle Peters warriors. They were
never in danger yesterday. for Doc
Moskiman was making the Tigers look
like ordinary monkeys in every inning.
Score-Oakland, 3; Tacoma, 1.
The Tigers took several trips high
into the heavens when the Commuters
managed to get men on the paths.
These periods, as a general rule, were
full of disaster, for the Oaklanders
were light of foot and ready to skim
around the green on the slightest
provocation. Only two hits figured in
the run getting, though others should
have produced results.
Moskiman's grand work in the Oak
land box was the most remarkable
feature Of the game. Barring an error
by Devereaux in the first round, the
Tigers would not have approached any
place near the plate. Devereaux erred
on the first ball hit by Doyle and Shee-
han sacrificed. Nordyke produced the
ne cessary hit and Doyle saved his
mates from the humiliation of a shut
out.
With one to the bad in round three
Moskiman drew a pass. Ganley
dropped one at the plate and Graham
threw it away at first, putting Ganley
on and sending Moskiman to second.
Francks forced Bobby, but Dunleavy
laced a fast one to right, bringing the
Doc in. Doyle heaved to Sheehan and
the latter booted the ball. Francks
was frisky and kept on running till he
landed in safety.
There was a lull till the fifth, when
the Commuters eased another man
over the jumps. This time .Ganley led
off with a hit and stole. Graham
again tossed badly, the ball going out
to center and letting Ganley anchor
at third. The hit and run signal was
given and went wrong the first time, for
Dunleavy fouled. He had two strikes
when it was tried again. He missed,
1 but the ball got away from Graham
and Ganley slid in without interrupt
ton. The score:

Guns Still Rules a 10 to Choice
Over Britt.
Men who are In the habit Of risking
money on the outcome of prizefights
seem scarce at the present time. At
least their money is not making it's
presence felt. All day and night yes
terday the odds of 10 to 8, with Cans
the public choice, prevailed and there
were only a few takers at this tempt
ing price.
No large wagers were recorded.
Somehow or other the betting men are
shy on coming forward with their
coin. There seems plenty of them
who will talk about the price and
what man they like, yet when it comes
to digging into their jeans and pro-
ducing the hard metal they are not
there this time. 1t looks as though
the sports are holding back for some
thing to spring in day or so.
Brisk betting is predicted for Mon
day. 1t would appear at the present
time that Cans will enter the ring a
to 10 favorite or perhaps a trife
longer. If the odds happen to drop a
point the Britt bettors will unquestion-
ably make a jump, for it is believed
many of them are holding out for a
more reasonable opening.

CATCHER SPIES IN DISGRACE.

PORTLAND, Oct. 29.-Heine Spies

station in a patrol wagon. After scor-
ing in the ninth inning Spies walked UP
TO a young man in the bleachers and
knocked him from his seat with a blow
Oh the face. He was soon surrounded
by a mob and the timely arrival of the
police probably saved him from injury.
Spies was tormented to desperation
when he appeared on the diamond to-
day as the result of his actions of yes
terday and finally his temper got the
better of him. The game itself was a

In his work with Sullivan he showed
all the quicl1ness of hand and eye and
foot for which he Is noted. The rounds
were unlimited in length. the bustling
work being continued until Sullivan
had enough. This was after twenty
minutes work.
Cans then took on Rudolph Gross
man and went through the same tao
tics with him.
According to Manager Herford, Cans
weighed 1924 pounds when he fought
Erne in 1902. He signed for Rufe Tur-
ner some months later at 1S5, and
weighed in at 1874 pounds easily. For
three years he has been fighting at
catchweights, as there has been no
legitimate lightweight in sight until
Britt appeared.
BRITT is NOT CONSISTENT.
Cans SCOTS at Britt being able to
hold both the feather-weight and the
lightweight titles should he win the
latter Tomorrow He thinks Britt Is
not consistent in making him scrape
down to the lowest point to defend
his title when, he claims, Britt has
said he will defend the feather-weight
title at 1872 pounds.
Cans smiles broadly when his friends
ask him if he will make the weight.
His invariable answer is: "I'n be
there all right and be able to take care
of myself"
Cans seconds on Monday night will
be AL Herford. Sol English. Frank Nc

POST ANOTHER FORFEIT.
Cans and Britt Put Up Another S25OO
for Weight.

Owing to the disquieting rumors
about Cans weight Willie Britt and
Al Herford held a conference last
night. The outcome was that each
posted an additional S2500 with Harry
Corbett. guaranteeing that Britt and
Cans would weigh in tomorrow night
at 135 pounds ringside. This makes
5000 in all which each man has
posted.
IT is expected Britt viii be well
within the weight so the additional
forfeit was exacted to make sure of
Cans. The Quickness with which
Berford agreed to the proposition is
taken rs a further indication that he
anticipates no difficulty in landing
Cans in the ring at weight. How
much OF the champions strength will
be taken from him only the fight can
determine.

cause the gentle James was retired for
kicking. Corbett had everything in
the catalogue and moved the Siwashes
down as If they were made of straw.
In all he struck out ten men. He
was especially effective at critical
points. Anderson, Hildebrand, Irwin
and Shea put up a superior quality of
ball. A double header tomorrow ends
the season in Seattle. Score:

Jimmy Britt is at fighting weight,

is practically at an end. To-day he
will take an easy jog on the road in
the morning. In the afternoon he
will go into his gymnasium and ex-
ercise lightly to give his friends and
admirers an opportunity to look him
over and judge of his fitness to cope
with the clever and experienced Joe
Cans. 1t is expected the largest

From the appearance of Joe Cans
yesterday. and accepting as accurate
the statements of Manager Herford as
to his weight, the lightweight cham
pion will present himself at Mechanics
Pavilion on Monday night at weight.
To do SO will require that he deny him
self in the matter of liquids. and also
that he must continue his work on the
road until Monday noon.
After being on the road yesterday
morning and working in the gymna-
sium in the afternoon his weight was
announced as being 1341s pounds. He
will work on the road both morning
and afternoon to-day, and Trainer
Frank Mcdonald expects him to go to
bed tonight weighing 132 pounds. He
loses one pound each night, so he
should awaken tomorrow morning
weighing Isl pounds.
He will be Kept up late tonight and
Will sleep tomorrow until 10 o'clock.
This is intended to make the waking
hours of Cans as short as possible on
the day of the fight. After breakfast,
which will consist Of quail and other
delicacies, he will go on the road and
will bring himself back to the 131
pound notch, If the calculations of his
trainer work out in a satisfactory man
ner. He has touched 133 pounds during
his present training. He will come to
the city at $3.50 and will eat substan-
tial dinner about o'clock. This is ex-
Pected to land him in the ring at $50
just under the weight.
CANS BODY SEEMS RUGGED.
If these natural methods do not bring
about the desired results the champion
must have recourse to baths and rub
bing, something neither he nor his ad
visers are counting on at present.
While Cans face is drawn, the re-
mainder of his body seems normal. His
legs. arms and shoulders, as seen
through his training clothes, are not
below their usual size. In his gymna-
SUM work yesterday Cans wore a suit
of light underwear and a sweater. He
had been at work roughing it with
kid" Sullivan in a cold room but a
few minutes when the perspiration
commenced to gather on his face
showing he is not dried out to the limit
of his endurance.
