Uncle Squeezes Three Runs
Through and Has a Tally
to Spare.

Uncle has the satisfaction of beat
ing Oakland once, even If he can never
turn the trick again. With barely one
to the good, the Seals quit at Recrea-
tfon Park yesterday afternoon happy
and iubilant. They had the luck, and
also prof1ted by some rough work of
the Commuters, so everything was
f1ne and dandy. Score: San Francisco,
3; Oakland, 2.
Whalen and Schmidt, the pair who
battled for sixteen rounds at Oakland
on tuesday, were trotted out again,
and the crowd held its breath. expect
ing TO see at least twenty-four rounds
or heartrending baseball But it was
rev minutes old when the Seals broke
In with a run.
Although slow and tedious at times,
the game was about the best of the
series, for there was a little hitting
In 1t at least. and the fielders were
given a chance to chase the leather
once In a while and make a few throws
around the lot. A high wind was blow
ing. which interfered to some extent
with the work.
Spencer started the music for Uncle
In the first with hit. He immediate
ly pilfered and advanced again on
Devereauxs boot of Walters grounder
Hildebrand's bang to left held scored
him. Irwin partook of a pass in the
fifth and stole second and third. He
got away with the last play while Nc
Murry held the ball. The little catcher
thought the bases were full and did not
heave 1t. Irwin trotted In when Shea
laid down a neat bunt
Again in the sixth the Seals came
through. Walters was passed, but
Devereaux put the ball on him at third
when he tried to slide in on Hide
brands clout to left. Hide got as far
as second on the play. Irwin's wal
lop out to deep center put him over.
Oakland could not get started until
the seventh. when Dunieavy unloaded
a double-sacker over third and Kelly
responded with a drive too hot for
Spencer to handle. letting Dun trot in.
With the bases full and one down in
the eighth. Kruger forced Francks at
second. and Schmidt made the rubber
on the play. DR.. Moskiman was called
in to bat for McMurray In the ninth,
but he could not make good with the
little old hit.
Umpire Perrine was hit by a foul
ball in the fifth and was out for sew
eral minutes. Kelly again kept right
with the fans by driving Oakland 8
first run through and tearing of an
other hit in the ninth. He made his
first error of the series yesterday on

Manager of Yosemite Club
Agrees to Release Brit
Usher if Permit Fails
ALL PARTIES SATISFIED

The Britt-White fight is as far away
as ever and just as uncertain. 1t was
expected Manager Jim Coffreth Would
declare himself last night when he
came in contact with Willis Britt and
Charley Mitchell, but. instead, the pro-
moter of the Yosemite Club asked for
few more days grace. which the
managers of the rival pugs kindly con-
sented to give. They agreed to wait
till May for final decision.
Coffroth seems clutching at the last
straw, and, according to his own ad-
missions, he has hopes Of landing that
permit at the eleventh hour, though by
what means nobody but himself really
knows. He limited at big stunt that
was due to come OFF on Monday and in
timated he would let the public know
then whether the mill would come off
or not.
When Willis Britt, Mitchell and Cof-
froth came together last night at
Harry Corbett's they chatted over
events in casual way and then
went into an executive session
that lasted but few minutes.
Possibly they all knew what to

sort of matter of course and to look
up to Coffroth as their guiding star and
all around good angel. Both seem per-
fectly satisfied with the news the mag
nate gently broke. Both agreed to wait
just as long as the promoter willed.
Coffroth evidently figures on bringing
something over on Monday. He has
hopes of promoting the fight yet,
though by what process Is a strict Sc
cret. White and Britt have agreed to
wait till May for me- said Coffroth.
