GAMBLE PITCHES WELL ,
BUT SUPPORT Is POOR
Hoegee Slab Artist Holds Del Rey
Down to Five Safe Hits,
but Locals Are De-
feated

With only five hits to their credit
against nine for the other side. the Del
Reys trimmed the Hoegees yesterday at
Chutes park by a score of to A. The
runs were all made in the first two in
nings, and with that handicap to go up
against the Hoegees were due to land in
the rear.
Raleigh tossed them over for the
Beachcombers and his work was all to the
good. Timely hits in the fourth, fifth
and eighth innings gave the Hoegees
their four runs, but they were unable
to catch up with the Del Reys.
Gamble did the slab work for the To-
calls and had he been accorded errorless
support might have Jared as we'll as his
opponent. The six runs which Del Rey
had to its credit were garnered off four
hits, and throughout the rest of the
game Gamble allowed but one safe bin
gle to be recorded. The tabulated score
is as follows:

ANOTHER ECKERSALL is
WANTED BY COACH stage
Director of Athletics at University of
Chicago Will Search Ranks
for Good Drop
Kicker
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-Alonzo A. Stage,
director of athletics at the University of
Chicago, is searching for another Ecker
sail. So far his search has extended only
among few of the forty or fifty eligible
candidates for the Maroon eleven next
fall but he intends to go through the
ranks and find drop kicker and a purter
to uphold the reputation of Chicago for
another season. A Maroon eleven with
out a good kicker, he says, would be as
abnormal as an elephant without a trunk.
With this in mind the Midway athletic
tutor has sent each of his prospectives a
pigskin with a lesson on how to boot the
ball. He has asked them to work an hour
or more a day, so that when the training
season begins, on September 20, their legs
will be in shape for an early tryout.
Nearly all the football men are out of
town this summer
Stage, at the present time, is at the pro-
verbal ropes end for a good kicker. No
one, probably, realized more than he did
last fall the effectiveness of good punting
and goal-kicking from the field in the new
game and he is extremely anxious to
round out with a polished kicker what
now seems, on paper, one of the best
teams in years.

THREW MUD
AT OFFENDING UMPIRE

Kid Elberfeld now under suspension
imposed by Manager Clark Griffith of the
Highlanders for Indifferent playing, has
had more personal encounters on the ball
field with umpires than any other player
in the big leagues. He cannot remember
all his battles. but recalls one he consid-
ers the funniest of his experiences-that
is. funny for Elberfeld
1t happened while the kid was in the
American association with the Milwaukee
team. The umpire was a gentleman named
Brennan. and he was, in Elberfed's opin-
ion, giving the kids" team all the worst
of the decisions on a close game. In the
ninth inning with two out and Elberfeld's
team one run anead. Brennan called a
runner safe at second after the kid" had
slid through the mud and tagged him.
Elberfeld sat up with his two hands in
the mud, and when Brennan yelled safe"
the kid" grabbed a handful of mud and
threw it right into Brennan's mouth. He
did not wait to be put out of the game,
but went right to the club house, where
he watched the games for ten days.

O'BRIEN ON LOOKOUT FOR
GOOD INDICATOR MEN
President of American Association
Says That Umpires Are as
Hard to Get as Ball
Players
special to The Herald.


CHICAGO, Aug. u.-Good umpires are
just as scarce as good ball players accord
ing to President j. d. O'Brien of the
American association. O'Brien was on a
still hunt for promising arbters through
Pennsylvania and Ohio last week, but he
failed to discover any indicator handlers
of more than passing ability
II looked over several men who had
been recommended to me" said O'Brien
yesterday, but they all have one glarine
fault, and that is lack of judgment. There
are any number of men who can call balls
and strikes perfectly, but as soon as they
get In a pinch they lose their wits and
then everything blows up. One man in
particular whom I watched gave decis-
ions to perfection, but he permitted the
players to rag throughout the game. This
is a fault with many of the men who
would make excellent arbiters If they
could maintain discipline on the field"
O'Brien usually makes two or three trips
each year to look over promising umpires
in the smaller leagues, and it is probable
that he will go south scouting on his next
trip.

CANS AND SELIG
LEAVE FOR FRISCO
NEW ARTICLES CALL FOR MILL
IN SEPTEMBER
Negro Is Cautious and Inserts Clause
Which Affords Him Ample
Protection-Burns
Will Be Fit

Joe Cans and Ben Selig fiicked the
dust of Los Angeles from their paten
feathers and were among those pres
ent in the Pullmans when last night:
Coaster pulled out for San Francisco
The lightweight champion and his man
ager will return here Immediately after
the fight between Cans and Britt or
Admission day in order to fill an en-
gagement with one j. Burns.
According to the present dope there
is only one thing that can prevent the
mill between Burns and Cans from
taking place here on the 9th of Sep
TENDER, and that is a victory for Britt
over the negro Articles for the mill
with Burns were signed by all parties
and the forfeit money is in the hands
of Jim Jeffries.
Those new articles are not much diff
ferent from the ones which called for a
meeting between Burns and Cans this
month, save that the date is changed
and the weight scale raised a couple
of pounds. The negro also inserted a
clause which allows him to keep man
in Burns corner during each intermis-
sion between rounds, and which gives
Jimmy the same right as regards Cans
part of the ring.
Just how Cans or Selig happened to
think of that extra clause is not known.
Il don't think that Jimmy Burns
would do or coutenance such a thing,
said the champion, but 1 have known
seconds to put ammonia or something
else on mans gloves and cause the
other fellow to lose. l won't take any
chances, so we put in the clause which
allows me to keep a man in his corner
during each minute let up"
In the articles which were signed
yesterday 1T states that Cans and Burns
are allowed to send a man from their
own corner into the opposite side of
the arena to watch things. 1t is stipu-
lated that this man must not leave the
ring save at his own corner, and must
therefore cross the ring at every in
terval.
Taking No Chances
This idea about not allowing the
lookout to get near the water bottle
and other stuff in the opposing corner
is to prevent any chance of something
being slipped into the water and caus-
ing one principal or the other to be
doped All these things may happen,
but the chances are that Jimmy Burns
never thought of such a thing in his
life
While Burns is not conceded much
chance to win the championship from
the negro no matter what his physical
condition, it is certain that he will be
able to put UP a much better fight at
the new weight limit, 1876 pounds, than
he would at the lower figure of 1913
pounds. And then the long time which
elapses between now and the 9th of
September will give him plenty of
chance to work off his extra weight
gradually, and he should be in the best
pos sible condition when he enters the
ring at Maud Junction to battle with
the negro.
For a while Saturday it looked kind
of bad for Manager McCarey, as he did
not care to have the battle held over
until after the encounter between Britt
and the negro. Finally he was per-
suaded that 1t would be better in every

SANTA BARBARA, Aug 11.-Monsoon,
Columbine, Arrow, Mischief l. and Mi
nerva was the order of the finish in the
San Pedro-Santa Barbara race of the
South Coast Yacht club which finished
here today. Monsoon, after a very poor
start that left her fully ten miles astern
of Michief and Columbine, got a slant
from the southeast along in the evening
of Saturday which enabled her to over
take the leaders.
Columbine stuck close to Mischief which
led the fleet all the way to Vincente,
where she managed to luff around the
whistler and square away for Point Dune,
fully an hour ahead of the others
Almost as soon as Mischief weathered
the buoy the wind hauled, forcing Column
bine and the rest of the fleet to make nu-
merous small tacks.
At 1852, when Columbine finally got
around, Michief was null down to wind
ward and the rest of the fleet was strung
out all the way from Firmin to Vincente
Monsoon at that time was well off shore,
when last seen from Mischief was stand
ing seward.

Quite different from what was expected
she did not go out as far as Santa Bar

Columbine and Mischief off Point Dune.
Arrow was half an hour later at start

No Breeze for Mischief

In spite of five-mile start Mischief fell
into very light weather and was overtaken
by Columbne just before shutdown near
Point Dune. Mischief shortly after went
about and stood out to sea, leaving Co
lumbine beating up to the point.
That was the last seen of any of the
fleet by the crew of the Mischief until she
arrived in Santa Barbara at 1875 this
afternoon.
Monsoon finished at II OO:2O, making the
ninety-eight miles run in twenty-four

Columbine was only twenty-three minutes
behind her, closely followed by Arrow at
