Oakland won its second game of the
series with the Seals yesterday at Idora
Park, Oakland. by the score of to 4.
The game was especially marked by
the manner in which the Oaklanders
pounded O'Brien, securing twelve hits
off the sturdy Irishman during the con-
test. He was strong with the curves,
but the Commuters, goaded on by Sun
days double defeat, dug the gravel from
their lamps and connected well with
the sphere.
Smith put up the best game of the
season. He was there with the goods
every minute. The heady left fielder
figured In four put-outs and did well
with the stick.
Brick Devereaux at the slab in the
sixth inning handed O'Brien bunch of
talk on the curves he was putting over
the slab. AT each swing Devereaux
connected with the ball for a foul.
Around the Horn" he yelled as the
ball rolled behind a corner of the
stand.
AT the end of the second inning Oak
land was in the lead with three taIlies
This was increased in the fourth by
another run, the result of one of Van
Haltren's two-base hits, which brought
in Graham. Van made the only com
bination of two-sack connections that
were made in the game
Hlldebrand was on deck with a
three-bagger in the sixth, which
reached the fence in the right garden
Irwin brought him in with a little tap
through DeVereaux. netting the first
point for the Seals. During the re-
mainder the runs zig-zagged through
the innings, fairly we'll divided be-
tween the rival teams. Oakland scored
another in the eighth and the Seals
pulled up strongly with three addition
al tailies in the next two innings. 1t
looked like runaway N the first of
the eighth when Spencer slammed a
hard one through Devereaux with two
men on bases, bringing in Irwin.
Wheeler followed with a strong drive
into short again, bringing in Williams
on Devereaux's second error of the in
ming.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
NINE To HAVE MASCOT
IN FATTY COLLINS
Paholman VIII Display His
Graceful Curves On
Eastern Fields.

When the baseball team of the San
Francisco Police Department goes East
it will take with it the brightest orna-
ment of the force. Policeman Fatty
Collins will go as a mascot. What will
become of the department without Fat
ty Jerry Dinan refuses to say and the
Police Commissioners refuse to be in
terviewed on the subject
In the old days Fatty was regarded
rather in the light of jinks. Those
of the force who were heavy sleepers
on that day when the bricks began to
fall just turned over and said, That's
only Fatty Collins trying to start some
thing. To this day many members of
the force attribute the late whatever
YOU want-to- o-call-it to Fatty and he is
making the Eastern trip just to kill
the reputation that he has gained as a
jinks.
When asked if he had anything to
do with the earthquake Fatty said, Il
never started anything in my life
When held down to the question if
he had ever started anything, Fatty
reluctantly admitted that he had start
ed in the last parade. but defended
himself by declaring that he did not
finish.
The serious question in police circles
now is what sort of a costume the mas
cot should wear. The more negligent
in the matter of dress suggest that he
wear his usual look of panied sur
prise and what he had on when the
earthquake came. Jerry Dinan, who
has some taste in the matter, declares
that Fatty must go in Fauntieroys
This costume it is maintained is best
suited to his figure. He has a figure
that is unique and distinct even in the
police department. where there are a
great variety of figures.
Well, if l must be the mascot I
must said Fatty in a resigned man
ner yesterday. Though glory be, 'tis
little l know about the game Many's
the bat I've seen and many the ball
I've seen others take. but nfyer the
Dat or ball I've had of me own"

ATTORNEYS CHANGE
PLANS FOR DEFENSE
OF EMMA LE D0UN
Now Seek to Show McVicar
Was Dead When Put
Into Trunk.

STOCKTON. June 1.-THE defense
in the case of Mrs. lie Doux. charged
with the murder of A N McVicar,
seems 70 have taken new tack Yes
terday much of the questioning was OF
a character TO indicate that the de-
tense expected to show that McVicar
was still alive when the autopsy was
begun. Today the crOss-examinatton
of the autopsy surgeons was such as
to indicate that the defense weuld
contend that Mcvicar was dead when
he was put into the trunk.
The crosS-examination OF DR.. Latta,
one OF the autopsy surgeons. which
occupied so much time yesterday. was
concluded early today and DIR. ]. p.
Hull. who also assisted at the autopsy,
was called. He corroborated the pre-
vious witness and was not long on the
stand He contended that the blood
found in the trunk flowed from Nc
Vicar while he was still alive. and
that the bruises on the head were
ante-mortem bruises.
Coroner II. f. Southworth, who was
present at the autopsy. was positive
in his declarations along the same
lines.
After recess DR.. Southworth stated
In response to the District .Attorney' 8
questions that the bruises upon the
head probably took place when Nc
Vicar was dropped into the trunk alive.
The prosecution regards this as a
strong point, the defense having
sought to show that these bruises were
caused BY moving the trunk about

HAMBURG COLT
OFF THE TURF
Harry Payne Whitney
Retlres Most Promis-
ing Horse of Year.
Injury Develops After a
Brisk Workout at
Gravesend.

NEW YORK, June 12.-The noted
3year- old Burgomaster, the greatest
living son of Hamburg, will not race
again this season if he ever does
again. The handsome big colt has
gone amiss and in such a bad way as
to create the fear that the best he
ever will be worth will be for the stud
A few days ago the colt worked briskly
but when he pulled up Trainer Rogers
noticed that all was not right with
him. The cooling out process was close
ly watched and afterward it was ascer-
tained that the big fellow was down in
one of his fetlocks. Rogers Immediate
ly consulted Harry Payne Whitney, the
owner of the horse, and it was de-
cided to use discretion, Immediately
suspending his training operations and
to send him to the farm at Brook
dale in the hope that next season he
might again be put in training
Mr.. Whitney was seen in the club
house and he confirmed the news. 1t
was easily seen the millionaire horse
man was not at all pleased with the
way the news leaked out. but he said
1t was only too true and the turf
was the sufferer. 1t was expected that
Burgomaster would sweep the boards
of all the 3-year-old races this season.
His retirement will leave everything
to Whimsical and Ormondale, the lat

TORPEDO FLEET TO BE SENT
TO PHILIPPINE STATION
Small Boats to BE Dispatched After
Being Put Through q Course
of Trials.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Navy
Department has been notified that the
little fleet of torpedo boats which has
been gathered at Norfolk for the pur-
pose OF being sent out to the Philip
pines has been completed so far as the
constructors and engineers are con-
cerned, and the boats are now to be
put through course of trials to as
certain any weakness or faults, so that
THESE may be corrected on the home
station at minimum expense. These
trials will probably occupy at least
four months. so it will be late in the
year before the feet will be ready to
start on It's long voyage.
Inc boats of the new fleet are all
simple torpedo boats, the Bagley, Bar
ney, Biddle, Tingley, Thornton and
Shubrick averaging in displacement
only about 165 tons. 1t is believed that
IT may be necessary to assist the little
boats by towing them when their coal
supply runs low and the weather is
such that they cannot be coaled from
the conveying ship and experiments
viii be made before the fleet sails to
determine the ability of the conveying
ship to handle the boats in towing line.
