Idora Park diamond. Oakland. this sea-
son the Commuters retrieved their
losses of the last four games yesterday
and walIoped the angels to the tune of
to /.
The game was snappy throughout
and was by far the best sample of the
real article in baseball served at the
Oakland park this year. Billy Hall
and Reidy were the opposing twirlers.
They served them up in big league
fashion, allowing but five and six hits
respectively.
"Hoddie" Hodson urged the men on
and they dished out the nine innings
in an hour and twenty-five minutes.
The cool afternoon air floating over
from the bay had something to do with
1t for the men were in the best of
fettle. The game was a pitchers con-
test all the way through.
Each pitcher walked a man to the
initial sack on called balls. Billy Hall
famed three and Reidy fell close be-
hind by striking out two Oh the Angels.
The first three innings went l, 2, 8.
AS fast as the men appeared at the
plate they were put out Each side

In the fourth the Angels scored the
only run. The Commuters came UP

Smith started it with a clean single,
Kruger repeated the stunt, and on
Gochnauer's error Smith went to third.
Heine failed to get to the initial sack,
but Hackett, who was handling them
behind the bat for the Commuters,
tipped off a little sacrifice hit that

To DEFEAT FLEET ORMONDALE
Alex Shields fIandsel Colt Comes With Mighty
Rush Through the Fomestretch.
Red River Leads Out Clever Field of Youngsters in
Zephyr Stakes, Making All the Pace.

NEW YORK, June 26.-One of the
best cards of the meeting was present
ed this afternoon at Sheepshead Bay.
Excellent fields of well-matched horses
were the rule in nearly all the events,
affording some rare sport. Two OF the
Coney Island Jockey Clubs most pop
ular minor fixtures were carded for de-
cision. They were the Swift stake for
three-year- r-olds at seven furlongs and
the Zephyr stakes for two -year-olds at
| five and half furlongs over the Fu-
turity course.
Ideal weather conditions prevailed at
the course, and this, coupled with the
attractive card, drew out an excellent
attendance. The track was in lightning
fast condition.
Scratches reduced the size of the
field in the Swift stakes. The talent
sustained a setback in this event when
Brookdale Nymph, to fayorite.
was beaten. The winner turned up in
Alex Shields Halifax at the good price
of to 1. Ormondale jumped to the
front as soon as the barrier went up
and set a hot pace, followed by Brook
dale Nymph. The pair ran in this or
der to the stretch, when Halifax came
through with a rush. and, taking the
lead, was never afterward caught, win
ming in easy fashion by two and
half lengths from Ormondale, which
beat Brookdale Nymph three lengths
for the place.
In covering the seven furlongs in
1924 As Halifax negotiated the dis
tance in worlds record time The for
mer record was 1:25.
The talent picked Philander to win
the Zephyr stakes and sent the keene
racer to the post a well played choice
at odds of to 5. The latter was never
in the running, however, finishing
fourth in a field of nine. Red River
went to the front soon after the start
made all the running and won cleverly
by a length and a half Bat Masterson
and Sewell raced in close order all the
way, the latter getting the place by
a head. Summary:

the proper policing Of the grounds in
order that full justice be done com
petitors and spectators alike and the
selection Of competent officials.
This latter is an important matter,
as on il hinges the possibility of the
American championships being held in
this city in September of next year.
The Eastern Orga tiOn is willing to
send its crack sprinters. hurdlers and
weight men out 70 this coast If track
and other conditions here are in keep
ing with the Importance Of the event.
Discussing the amateur situation on
this coast President Maccabe said: The
menace 70 athletics on this coast is
what we might call the athletic spe-
cialists. The Amateur Athletic Union
objects to this. We believe in field
and track sports primarily. If clubs
want cross-country races or such com
petition we do not object, but the
province Of our organization is the
development Of field and track men.
We insist on competent officials such
as referee, starter, inspectors and
clerks, Of course.
The situation in this city is depIor-
able. The energies of the majority of
the clubs are directed toward the fight
ing game. Now the Amateur Athletic
Union claims no jurisdiction over fight
ing. That. belongs TO the police. We
cultivate boxing as a manly sport, but
when IL descends to the level of prize
fighting il is beyond our jurisdiction
The so-called amateur boxing is a great
menace as it is conducted here
1T gives young boys a bad start in
life, as IL teaches them vicious habits
and demoralizes them. The face Of
the A. A. L. is turned against amateur
boxing as il IS promoted here. We
will take drastic measures against it.
Just what they will be I do not know
at this time
California boxers are the greatest
in the world and / feel that if the
energy they put into that game was
diverted TO field and track athletics the
greatest performers in the world
would be developed here. This is the
Mecca of American sportsmen. With
its ideal climate in which 70 train and
compete all worlds records seem at the
mercy OF the athletes l think the pub
lie could be educated up to patronizing
field sports as literally as they do rae
ing and boxing.
There is a growing evil of allowing
training expenses. This should not be
done, as the amateur is in sport for
sports sake and not for the money he
can make out Of IL under the guise Of
training expenses"
The officials in charge of the Fourth
OF July meet have received many en-
tries for the various events. The hun
