that Thompson will have an advantage
of several pounds over his husky op-
ponent, but such will not be the case.
Thompson's natural fighting weight is
between 1876 and 1877 pounds and he
will enter the ring possibly few
ounces over 1876 pounds.
Last night Thompson was seen at
his quarters and asked as to his con-
dition and his idea of the probable
outcome of the contest. He said:
II wish the battle was tonight. I
am in first class condition; my weight
is at a point where I can battle at
my best and that weight is in the
vicinity OF 1876 pounds.

ARRANGE MEET
FOR SWIMMERS

Plans for the fourth annual swim
ming tournament to be held July are
being arranged and a meeting will be
be held during the latter part of the
month, when committees will be ap-
pointed to complete arrangements and
make all necessary preparations.
In the past these annual tournaments
have always attracted a great deal of
attention, and it is hoped the one this
year will be as successful as former
ones. So far no place has been
selected to hold the tournament, but
one will probably be chosen soon after
the committees are appointed.
At present it is thought the tourna-
ment will consist OF so. 100, 440 and $780,
yard races, high and fancy diving and
several races for women. Mrs. Louisa
Scott, all distance swimmer of Helena,
Mont, is in Los Angeles looking for
a match, no woman barred and any
distance. If Mrs. Scott remains in the
city she may get special match for
the Fourth, IL not before then.
Several teams are expected to com
pete In the four-man relay race for the
challenge cup. This trophy is now held
by Pat Higgins team, which is COM
posed of Clarence Clark, Ray Seeley,

crack gymnasium team on a northern

Memsic asserted he was in fine con-

1t is sure thing that the fans will
more than get their moneys worth

This years tobacco crop in Porto Rico
is the finest ever grown. Onlythe choicest

For these reasons the FL Toros now on the

How It Happened

Los Angeles two runs came in the
first inning. Carlisle started it by
walking to first and stealing second.
Brashear singled, but was forced by
McClelland. Ellis walked and the
bases were full. Cravath made noble
effort at the bat and was put out,
but Carlisle scored in the excitement.
Delmas hit a. high bounder infield and
beat it by mile, allowing McClelland
to score. Eager ended the inning by
striking out.
Carlisle very nearly repeated his run
in the second inning, but was out at
the home plate.
1t was the fourth inning when Oak
land scored it's one. 1t began with a
base on balls for Eagan. Two men
went out and "Bill'' Devereaux picked
up the stick. He caressed it for just
a minute and then sent out a two
bagger that brought Eagan across the
home plate.
Delmas at shortstop did little fancy
work when in the sixth inning he
stopped a hot one from Bigbee and
doubled out Eagan, unassisted.

FIFTH OF SERIES
GOES TO ANGELS
CRAVATH DOES SOME FANCY
WORK
Right Fielder Plays First Base in a
Manner That Evokes Plaudts
Of Big Crowd Of Enthu-
slastic Fans

The Angels annexed the fifth game
Of the oakland series yesterday by a
score of to 1 and put up one of the
prettiest games that has ever been
played on the local diamond to do it.
Gavy Cravath did most of 1t. Gavy
was doing things all through the game,
but when Randolph started what would
ordinarily have been a line drive over
the first baseman's head, Gavy was
particularly busy. Cravath threw his
mitt in the air, stopped the ball in its
mad career and doubled out Hackett at
the home plate Had Hackett crossed
the plate In safety the score would
have been tied and it would have been
anybody's game.
Cravath brought down the house
with two or three sensational catches
of fouls and altogether acted as though
the first base job was just to his lik
ing. That large party is as much at
home in the infield as he is catching
flies in the right garden.
Carlisles hitting and rabbit running
got one run for the Angels, advanced
him to third in the second inning and
as far as second in the fifth. He did
something worth mentioning each time
at the bat, with the exception of the
last, when he famed.
