Los Angeles z, Portland O

Ralph Tozer was In his usual good
form yesterday and as steady as a
clock in all emergencies, winning his
game against Portland and scoring a
ehutout.
Virgil Garvin, the elongated former
big Lacquer, essayed to turn the tide
| of the Angelic romp for the flag, but
his fate was similar to that of Oscar
Jones, the other big league star whom
the Angels put out of business several
days ago.
Tozer was admirably backed up by
his team mates at the bat and hits
came when necessary, forcing in suf-
f1cient runs to put the game to the
credit of the Morleyites
Cravath came forth with his period
ical homer, the ball soaring over the
center field fence into the Chutes
amusement grounds on the other side.
Capt. Dillon was resting securely upon
the second pan when Cravath sent
the sphere upon it's extended journey
and two runs resulted, although they
were not in the least needed.
Garvin worked heroically to staVe off
a shutout getting two neat hits past
third. but his team mates were Woe

Tozer didn't propose to be easily
cheated out of a shutout, hence the
efforts were unavailing.

locals fielded their positions in big
league fashion and backed up Tozer in
all emergencies in first-class style.

BIG SCRAMBLE FOR TICKETS
BerkeIey-stanford Pasteboards Are in
Unprecedented Demand, Crowds
Waiting for Opening

The advance sale of tickets for the
Berkeley Stanford game has thus far
eclipsed former years.
The ticket office on the Stanford cam
pus was scheduled to open at o'clock
November l, but throughout the foggy
night preceding the opening a long line
took its place before the window wait
ing for the pasteboard agent to put
in an appearance.

tage made his appearance at $50
O'Clock of the evening previous, and by

A limited number of rooters' tickets,

and the various frat houses of the uni
Versity had men stationed to hold
places through the night. But eight
tickets were allowed each man and five
or six representatives were present
from the several fraternities.
The men went on in relays each man
being relieved from time to time. Many
brought chairs and the majority wrap
ped themselves in blankets.
When the window opened at o'clock
there were $50 persons in line, and
twenty minutes later all of the 700

ST. VINCENTS PLAY POMONA
Locals Will Not Send Strong Team,
Fearing to Risk Accidents Which
Mlqht Mar Game With U. sc,

st. Vincents will not send their
strongest team against Pomona Sat
urday and the Pomona men should
win with reasonable ease.
Coach Haggerty said last night that
the game with u. S. c. December 2
is to be the contest toward which he
will concentrate every effort.
The game against the university is
to be to st. Vincents what the STAN
ford-Berkeley game is to the northern
universities. There is no getting away
from the fact that the ST. Vincent
men seem unable to get into the best
of condition and Haggerty realizes that
the best way is for a final effort to
be scheduled so far ahead that it will
give still more time than the contest
with Pomona; everything is to be sac
rificed toward winning the U. S. c..
game.
Haggerty says that some of his back
field men may not enter the game, as
he wishes to incur no risk that would
detract from the possibility of taking
the game against Holmes men.
Although Holmes says that his eleven
is stronger than the Pomona men
there are very few who will agree with
him and Haggerty seems to think that
1t is against the university that he
stands the best chance of winning out.
Hempel, catch of the Indian team,
will referee the st. Vincent-Pomona
game and Hagerman of Occidental will
umpire.
Haggerty has not determined upon
his exact lineup and will wait until
the conclusion OF this afternoons prac-
tice.

MAY CALL OFF
O. 'BR|EN'S DATE
LOCAL MANAGER IS WEARY
OF SUSPENSE
PuelIlst-Lawyer Must Show Up This
Week or He VIII Be Dismissed
From Further consldera-
tlon In Future

1t is probable that Manager Tom
McCarey will declare Off the proposed
battle between Jack OBrien and Jack
Twin Sullivan, which is scheduled for
November % at the Pacific Athletic
club.
Unless O'Brien comes Immediately
to Los Angeles and gives evidence of
his intention to live up to the contracts
made with McCarey, before and since
he left Alaska, McCarey will not fritz
ter away further time with the pugilist-
lawyer.
OBrien's victory over AL Kaufman
seems to have affected the self-esteem
of the Philadelphia to the extent that
he feels no longer the chatting bonds
Of honor that exist in his agreement
to come to Los Angeles and fight before
McCarey's club and the latter is one
of those remarkable individuals who
neither care a rap for champions and
would-be champions nor fritter away
valuable time and good money for some
thing that does not look good to the
practical eye.
The manner in which O'Brien has
treated McCarey since the lawyer-pugi-
list arrived in Frisco does not increase
the cordiality of the friendship between
these two and If Jack really wants to
wriggle out of his date with McCarey
he will experience no difficulty what
ever in doing so.
Unless definite news comes this
week that OBrien intends meeting Sui
livan on the date agreed upon, McCarey
will call the affair off and substitute
another Tommy Burns is aching for
another go with Jack Twin and pleads
that he trained down to weight too
speedily for his fight last month.
Jack Twin is open for engagements
and appreciates his large circle Of
friends in Los Angeles to the extent
that he will not throw away an OPP
portunity of fighting before them.
1t therefore seems probable that by
the first of next week another card
may be arranged for the Thanksgiving
date. While the fight fans would be
delighted to see the shifty Philadel-
phian in action here and would greet
him with as big house as he could
draw In Frisco, there are few here who
will shed tears Of unusual size IL the
date is declared off so far as he is con-
cerned.
McCarey said last night that he would
have offered as much as any of the
Frisco fight clubs for the Hart
O'Brien mill and had O'Brien kept
faith with him he would have secured
other matches for him.

HERRERA GOES TO SEASIDE
Will Continue Training for Battle With
Hanon at Boathouse Near
San Pedro

Aurelio Herrera packed his duds yes
terday and moved from the pavilion
to San Pedro, at which point he will
continue training for his fight with
Eddie Hanlon, which occurs Novem-
ber 10.
Herrera believes the open air of the
seashore and the salt water bathing
will aid him in getting into condition
and remove the danger of further
trouble with la grippe.
He will train in a boat house on the
water and indulge in frequent excur-
sions among the breakers. Mauro Her
rera accompanied him and will con-
tinue to fight the family disturbance
settos daily with his mule-kicking
brother.
Joe German remains at the pavilion
and will do daily stunts in preparing
for his engagement with Warren Zu-
brick, which occurs as a preliminary
to the Hanlon- Herrera battle.

BELMONT ELEVEN
ARRIVES TODAY
HIGH SCHOOL TEAM IS IN
GOOD TRIM
Comparison Of Squads on All Essential
Points Favors Local Victory.
Visitors Are Equally
as Confident

The crush and crunch Of the big
elevens is over for while and Los
Angeles will be given a chance to watch
the lightweights in action.
Belmont and High School meet at
Fiesta park Saturday and the indlca-
tions are that the local men will take
the game
Belmont has lost TO the Standard
freshmen, one of the lighter teams In
the north, and as Roesch's eleven is
heavy for an academic team the
chances should be in favor Of High
School.
There are several men on High
School squad who are regarded as
weight and speed for a university
team.
Holland has done the best work of
any local quarter thus far during the
season in handling his men and at
the same time has been developing
into a good defensive player
w. Mast at half has done the most
consistent ground gaining for the
academies, against the heavy college
lines that the High School has taken
on. His work should be especially eff
fective when his forwards are opposed
to a line of equal strength and IL the
Belmont forwards are not hurdled for
considerable distance by the nuSky
backfeld man, it will be because the
northerners have been devoting all
their practice time to preventing the
play.
Walker at guard, though Of the awk-
ward type Of lineman, is immovable
and there will be nothing left for the
Belmonts to gain by directing a play
against him.
Mitchell and Hammond, who are
trying for right tackle. are strong
men, though Mitchell will probably
enter the game in the position.
Hutchlns. when in condition, is one
of the best ends that the High School
has developed and he is in good form
for Saturdays game.
Demens behind the line is playing
the position that his brother held down
years ago on the academic eleven and
has been giving good account Of HIM
self while he was able to last. In the
games thus far, he has been forced to
leave before the close. He is light
man, however, and the contests have
been with the heavier college teams.
The Belmont eleven arrives today at
11:15 on the coast lrne and will take
apartments at the Lankershim.
The lineup: Beckley, C; Wilson,
!. g.. Thorp, |. t; Martin (capt.), l. e. I;
