San Francisco championship IRON
developed every year since this event
was inaugurated in 1901.
The match attracted an unusually
large number of spectators, who were
somewhat disappointed. because while
it was interesting and spectacular it
was hardly as close as was expected
After the first set McLOughlin out
played his opponent and won handily.
The score was 81, go, AS, 6-S.
The first set was as close as one
could wish and gave promise of a great
match. Mclaughlin started serving
and each player won on service until
the ninth game, when Foley broke in
on his opponents service game and
went into the lead al 5-4. When he
won the first three points in the next
game the set seemed his beyond a
doubt Right here the champion made
the mistake that proDabIy cost him
the match. Instead of following up his
service he stayed back and allowed
his opponent to take the net. Had Foley
gone in it probably would have wOr-
ried Mclaughlin to the extent of caus-
ing him to make the one error that
would give Foley the set. Mclaughlin
put the ball back carefully and. once

pulled out this game and finally won

"Slivers" Henley, one Of the crack
pitchers Of the Seals, In the game at
Recreation park yesterday afternoon.
He waited patiently for one that looked
good to him and then lifted It over the
right field fence for home run. The
spectators were as much surprised as
Pitcher Henley, but they applauded
Carlisle as he made the circuit of the
bases.
With this start 1t was believed the
visiting team would make show of
the opposing nine. but the opposite was
the case, as Carlisle was the only man
to make the circuit of the bases for
the Angels. San Francisco won by a
score OF 8 to /, making the third sue
cessive victory for the home team and
the fifth in the series of eight games
played during the week. The game
was witnessed by large crowd of
spectators and was replete with snappy
play
Mohler scored two of the Seals runs,
in each instance being sent home by
long flies by Moriarity. Carlisle robbed
Mohler of hit in the third when he
made long run and scooped up the
ball as 1T was about to touch the
ground.

with a fly to center field and Mohler

catcher. This ended the scoring for the
day.
The Seals had a grand chance to
score in the fourth, but their signals
went wrong and the play missed fire.
Wheeler was safe on hit past third
and made second ON a bad throw by
Delmas. He advanced to third on a
balk by Pitcher Burns. The signal was
then given for the squeeze play, but
Burns saw the high sign and the run
ner was put out easily at the plate.
The visitors seemed in fair way to
score in their half of the ninth inning,
as the Seals made miscues on two easy
chances. Brashear, the first man up,

President Williams acted wisely in ex-
tending the season beyond the $50 days
which II was originally scheduled to
run When the horses were running so
unsatisfactory last week and the
week before, some of those who follow
turf affairs closely were inclined TO
the opinion that the extension of the
meeting would be found eventually to
have operated against the best interests
Of the turf. They contended that the
departure OF many OF the prominent
owners, horses and jockeys for the
east at the time the meeting ordinarily
would have come to an end naturally
tended to lower the high standard un-
der which the sport had f1ourished 10

blot upon an otherwise brilliant sea-
son OF racing season that has been
marked by better racing and a greater
degree Of public interest than any of
Its predecessors. It is true that in the

CHAMPION MAKEs MIsTAKE

Foley's defeat was probably due in
part to the fact that he did not follow
in on service. His net game is for
ahead of his back court play, but evil
IDENTIFY he did not believe so as he al
lowed his opponent to take the net 4r
all times. In the few times that Foley
went up he generally won the point
easily. The champion simply stayed
with a losing game, and while it is
hardly likely that he could have beaten
the tennis put up by Mclaughlin, he
should at least have given the young
ster closer rub.
McLoughlin's victory was due more
to his strong and well placed service
than to anything else. He crowded
Foley into the alley with fast, high
bounding service, that got him up to
the net in good shape. Foley either
put the ball into his hands or erred.
Foley did some beautiful chopping in
the first set He passed his opponent
repeatedly as he came to the net. Nc
Lough1in was almost constantly at the
net, and although his smashing was
poorer than usual he volleyed perfectly
Many balls that looked to be out of his
reach he dropped over short and won
points on.
McLoughlin's victory proves that he
is the c1everest player in this city to-
day. Foley was the only one OF the
local experts he had not defeated re-
peatedly since the first of the year His
victory was a popular one, and while
it is his first championship it is "a safe
prediction that it will not be his last
