BUSY TIMES AT LARKSPUR-
Nelson's Gymnasium Inadequate for
the Number of Spectators Present.

LARkSPUR, Aug. N.-The sun gener-
ously poured its rays on this village to-
day and did not overlook the outdoor
platform and the hundreds of spectators,
of both sexes and of all ages. who as
sembled around the platform to witness
Battling do his outdoor work. The tenn
perature ranged close to a hundred in
the sun Nelson did not do any road
work this morning, but spent the fore
noon in meeting his friends
Among the Eastern friends he met to-
day was a mute, and Nelson, who is a
past master in the deaf and dumb Ian
guage. had a long and interesting CONVEX
jokes about his trip through San Quen-
tin and the extreme width of Smiling
Metzner's smile, which widens as the
crowd increases, and his mute friend ap-
preciated them. All the available space
commanding half view of the outdoor
arena was eagerly seized and held by
spectators of all ages and classes, eager
to see Battling do his outdoor stunts.
Smiling Metzner had large sign in front
Of the mirror in his bar announcing that
the capacity of the gymnasium was 25O
and he issued tickets gratis to his
patrons.
1t was not long before the crowd got
wind of 1t. They poured into the bar
room. 1t was not long before the place
was crowded. Half a dozen windows
were unable to accommodate them and
they began to pour out on the roofs of
the adjoining buildings until they began
to creak The venerable Mayor Lynch,
owner of the property, appeared on the
scene and proceeded to drive them from
the roofs Some went. while others did
not heed his request and his mild push.
He gave one man a strong push which
sent the man on his side and he slid
down, carrying several others with him.
Luckily 1t happened at the head of the
stairs and they received no injuries. A.
dozen military officers and two orderlies
rode from Fort Baker to witness the
bouts.
Bat and Lundies appearance in the
outdoor ring was the signal for much
applause. Joe Angelo wrested couple
of bouts with Bat. and they tussied Wig
orously with each other. Shadow boxing.
and tossing the medicine ball was in
dulged in by Bat and Lundie. They then
donned the pillows and three lively bouts
kept all eyes centered on them. Each,
movement of the boxers was closely
watched and commented upon. They
started at a slow pace, but by the time
the third round was reached they were
pretty well warmed up. They exchanged
blows and some stiff ones were landed.
Bat let drive a powerful left for Lundie's
law. but the Olympic lad neatly ducked
and II famed the air. Bat succeeded in
landing a good uppercut on Lundies chin.
The third round was fast one Rat,
seeing IL was too fast for Lundie.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

When the Commuters had finished
their afternoons task of trimming the
Siwashes at Recreation Park yesterday
they managed to complete whole cir
( cult of victories against the. Puget
Sound stars. Six times without a
break is gathering some. yet the work
was easy in nearly every game, and
the Commuters showed the fans they
have more In the ine-of good baseball
than Seattle ever will possess with
the present team.
The SiWaShes, as usual clouted the
ball. and hard too, at times, but what
does a base hit bring a ball team unless
a run happens once in while? Never
an inning passed in the afternoon game
unless some Seattle. star journeyed
down to first, but he invariably was
held up either there or at some other
way station.
Oakland continued to wallop that
leather harder even than in the pre-
vious games. Nearly every man on the
team seemed to be there with some
thing, and when one hit, the others
were wont to go right down the line and
follow his example. Dunleavy again pa
raded at the head of the bunch In the
afternoon game he came UP four times
and landed for a triple, double and a
pair of singles AT Oakland in the
morning he soused out one single out
Of four trips to the pan.
Oakland ushered the game in with
its usual viGor and vim by clouting
Hall for two runs ere he had a chance
to set his wing in motion. They let 1t
go at that till the fifth, when two more
were sent through. In the seventh q
regular bombardment was begun. and
before the Siwashes knew what time it
was, three more of the Commuters had
found their way home and the score
stood to 0, the finishing figures.
Seattle certainly should have scored
on Ham Iberg. He let them have eight
safe ones and passed five men to the
bags. The Northern stars were not
there when they managed to get man
on the sacks. Time and time again
a good chance was passed up. None of
the players seemed overanxious to
grab a hit when it would have prob
ably turned the tide of victory and so
the game was reeled off by the van
quished team.
The work of Russ Hall at short was
the only thing. that upheld the honor
of the visitors to any extent. Twelve
hard ones came the way OF the Siwash
leader and he ate every one up. He
doubled up Devereaux on Moskiman's
hard drive in the nrst inning, when two
were on the sacks, and thus saved
about flock of runs. The score:

ADAMS HOOKS
UP WITH JAMES

Considering the fact that it was the
last Sunday before the opening of the
annual coast championship tennis tour
naments, the attendance on the courts
yesterday was unusually light. Practi-
cally no playing was done by the Califor-
mia Club experts, while at the park few
of the cracks were out for their final
practice.
Fred Adams, the State champion, and
cleverest of the local players. has joined
forces with George James, the California
Clubs strongest player. They will play
al San Rafael in the doubles, and should
make one of the strongest teams from
this part of the State. They played to-
gether yesterday. but lack OF team
work caused them to make a rather in
different showing.
Adams and James first played Carl
Gardner and e. P. Finnegan, and were
beaten by a score of 10. Finnegan' s
place was take by Clarence Griffin, a
much stronger player, but Adams and
James showed great Improvement, and
won Two sets quite easily. The score was
6-3 GA.
James and Adams next took on Card
ner and Charles Dunlap. but failed to win
a set of the two played. The score In
favor of Gardner and Dunlap was 6-2, TO.
Probably the closest and most interest
ing match of the day was that between
the Baker brothers and Charles Foley
and Charles Dunlap. Two sets were
played, each side winning one. The first
set went to Foley and Dunlap by the
unusually close score of, 14-12. The sec
ond set was a vantage also, but the
Bakers came out on the long end, win
ming by score of So
In singles Gardner and Griffin played
one set, the former winning, ga.
On Saturday Percy Murdock and Reu-
ben Hunt of Alameda played Harry Rolfe
and Herbert Schmidt on the courts across
the bay. Murdoch and Hunt will be the
main reliance of the northern contingent
In the doubles tournament, while
Schmidt and Rolfe are one of the strong
est teams on this side of the bay. The
Alameda cracks won three straight sets,
all of which were GA.
In singles Hunt beat Rolfe, GA
Murdoch has announced his intention
of not playing in the singles tournament
at San Rafael. He has decided to give
all his energy to the doubles, which he
hopes to win with Hunt as a partner 1t
is doubtful if Hunt will play in the sim

He who proclaimed, "Suffer the lit

The child to dwell with Him, leaving
the hearts Of the parents sad. Oct. Is

to the love and care of dear ones and
her God, and then, with prayers up
on her lips for husband and other
loved ones, she babe them all fare
well and joined the little Radcliffe
in that land where sorrow and afilic-

Mrs. Stewards life, though lament.
