COMMUTERS PLAY LAX BALL
THROUGHOUT
Cravath Smashes Sphere in Effective
Fashion Every Time at Bat.
Wild Bill Devereaux Makes
Hit and is Caught
Angels 6, Oakland 8

Oakland played miserable ball yes
terday and the Angels won 6-3 The
tabulated score shows but one error
chalked against Van Haltren'S men,
and many "a great game has been re-
corded with more than a single mis-
play. 1t was not errors that caused the
fans to grow weary long before the
contest came to an end.
The Commuters did not throw enough
ginger into the proceedings to cause d
grain of excitement. No one backed
the field. Pitcher Reidy, who Vas lam
basted TO the far corners CT the field,
allowed the Seraphs to drag him into
d jaw1est that did not ada to his ef-
tectlveness. Altogether the Oaks gave
a very good exhibition OF how not to
play the game.
Dillon's men had merry sport with
Reidy and as he waXed more sore just
so much harder was he basted. Burns
sent them across for the Angels and
though touched up for ten sateties had
the AthenianS at his mercy with the
fast fielding OF his support.
Celery CraVath appeared in his bat
ting clothes yesterday and raped out a
single every time he stepped to the
Torrance in the second inning by a
brilliant stop and throw that robbed
Bliss of what to all intent was legiti-
mate single. The ball sped across sec
ond base and apparently was destined
to reach center field. Goch made des-
perate effort and stabbing with one
hand whisked the sphere to first a sec
ond ahead of the astounded Bliss.
Oakland started in the lead with two
runs secured in the fourth inning which
the Seraphs equaled in their half OF
the round. DillonS men came back in
the fifth with three more, and COM
pleted the damage with another in the
seventh
Bill DeVereauX was the victim of his
own carelessness in the initial part of
the fifth when after singing down the
third base line he was caught off first
by quick throw of Burns. Bills cha
grin was great and the crowd added to
his humiliation in fitting manner.

BYERS AND LYON WILL PLAY
GOLF FINALS
Men Are Survivors Out of Field of
Over 1870 Players Who Took Part
in National Amateur
Tournament
Sv A Associated Press.

Sy Associated Press,
ENGLEWOOD, N. j., July 13.-Eben
Nj. Byers of Pittsburg, who is entered
from the st. Andrews club and George
S. Lyon of the Lamblin Country club,
Toronto, Canada, are the survivors out
of field of over 100 players who took
part lin this years national amateur
golf championship tournament.
These two will meet tomorrow on the
links of the Englewood Golf club in the
final round of thirty-siX holes match
play, and as both of them have shown
excellent form throughout the week,
each has had a host of followers.
Since the United States Golf asso-
citation started their annual tourna-
ments none of them became interna-
tional in character until the present
contest, and this fact has caused ad-
ditional interest in tomorrow's final
match.
When Walter j. Travis, the former
American and British amateur cham
pion, defeated Jerome d. TraVers, who
is only a boy in years, this morning,
the popular idea was that he would last
through the semi-final and win out
from Byers. The Pittsburg man played
very strong and consistently, however,
and while Travers and he were about
equal on the long game Byers was bet
ter on the short game and won out by
4 up and to play. They played out
the bye holes and Byers went around
in 76, while TraVers took 10.
Lyon beat Knowles this afternoon by
8 up and to play, going out in SO,
which was the best golf the Canadian
has shown this week.

NEW YORK, July 13.-Twelve horses
of average class are named to compete
tomorrow in the Brighton handicap the
richest of all aged events of the Metro
polltan spring racing season. The race,
which is run over the Seaside course of
the Brighton Beach Racing association,
has guaranteed cash value of $25, 900,
of which the winner takes $4,000, the
second horse $4,000 and the third $4,000.
No horse of the class of Irish Lad or

so close together in the weight arrange

contest of the season.

second in the Metropolitan, the Brook

then fell down during the running of
the commonwealth when that stake
seemed to be at his mercy, is named to
go in the Brighton tomorrow and will
probably be installed as the post fav-

Will Play Flip Flap
Flip Flap, the game little mare which
won the advance stakes at Sheepshead
Bay and finished third in the Brighton
mile last Tuesday undoubtedly has a
real chance for the handicap and will be
played quite as heavily as the favorite.
Her liking for the distance and the
fact that she was running over Ham
burg Belle and Whimsical at the finish
of the Brighton mile, though beaten
that with q quarter of a mile further
to go Flip Flap would undoubtedly have
been an easy winner.
Hamburg Belle and Whimsical are
both to be started tomorrow, and the
consensus of opinion is that the race
lies between these two, Flip Flap and
Dandelion. Hamburg Belle, the premier
miller of the American turf, if asked to
go tri1e further than she is supposed
to care for and her performance. will
be witnessed with great interest.
Western Horse to Go
Rams Horn, the famous western per-
former, who seems only recently to
have come back to form; Dolly Spanker,
a consistent winner at mile and
thereabo bouts; Cairngorm, stablemate of
Hamburg Belle, and First Mason are
four of the entries and seem to be about
as evenly matched among themselves
as the first four.
The track is extremely fast Just now
and clear weather is expected tomor-

worldly than to things heavenly.
AS soon as the organist, Miss Ada

would be accompanied with an erratic
running of the scales. chromatic and
otherwise, while the most weird and
wonderful strains floated through the

At last the pastor, the Rev. Albert

ST. PAUL. Mimi, July 13.-It trans
pired today that Mrs. Helen NJ Wilson

perience at st. Paul hotel.
One night her sleep was troubled and
about o'clock she rose and like Lady

burglar in her room, and with that
thought came great presence of mind.
and she kept quiet, crept to the tele-
phone and called the office and whis-
pered to the night watchman:
There's a burg lar. man, strong
man, in my roon1-529, Mrs. Wilson.

watchman. "There'll be someone right
there. Don't make any noise"

friend and put her back to bed.
Thump, thump, came rap at the
door. The frightened woman opened it

"Is this where the burglar is?" de-
manded the Ryan's watchman.
I'm sorry, but l think / was mis-
taken about the burglar. 1 was just
frightened" murmured Mrs. Wilson
from her pillow.
What the watchman who had climbed
five flights of stairs said the Denver
delegates could not hear, but just had
to guess at it.
The watchman lost no time in mar
rating the incident, and as result a
considerable degree of amusement pre-
vailed among the hotel attaches and
guests. Mrs Wilson's friends here are
wondering whether she will utilize this
adventure for newspaper or magazine

We think Nelson and Cans would be a
splendid card. We are willing to put it

the matter. We have been ready to
vote in the past and it was no fault of

Britt and Nelson might be decided
