The San Francisco call., 1908-05-02
Celebrates Decennial of
Dewey's Victory
City Decorations for Fleet Are
First Used to Honor the
Old Navy

san Francisco celebrated the de-
cenniai Of Deweyss memorable victory
At Manila last night. as only Califor-
mans can. for the great crowd seemed
enthused rather than depressed by the
driving rsinstorm which marked but
did not mar the occasion. Every one
seemed TO recognize that the storm
is the sugury OF q prosperous year for
the state. and when Mayor Taylor
touched the button that set the rain
drops 70 glistening like diamonds IN
the multitude OF dazzling lights, the
cheers became deafening. The eele-
bration. which was held In Union
square, began IN an informal manner
early IN the evening by the splendid
Illumination OF the St Francis being
turned on for the first time. The front
OF the hotel was feztooned with red.
white and blue fncandescents, and the
top Of the building was surmounted
by three bright beacons and powerful
searchlight.
There was no cover over the band
stand IN the square, so the pouring
rain caused the formal exercises 10
be curtaiied as much as possible. May
OF. Taylor was introduced by former
Mayor James D Phelan IN a brief
speech The chief executive OF the
city was warmly greeted by the big
crowd; and Mrs. Taylor. who braved
the storm with him, received q share
OF the ovation After few words of
cheers for Admiral Dewey. and in the
midst OF the tumuItuous cheering which
followed he touched a button that en-
yeloped the city IN q marvellous halo
OF multicolored lights. First in view
Of the gathering were the graceful
arched japanese lanterns decorating the
square; then the huge welcome sign
On Telegraph hill. and finally the two
streamers Of white light on either side
OF Market street leading TO the mag
nifcently decked ferry building, with
its striking red. white and blue shield
and boldly outlined tower. The band
continued to play patriotic airs until
It was driven TO seek shelter by the
increasing severity Of the storm. but
the crowd fingered for an hour 10
watch a fine display OF fireworks.
The celebration Of Dewey day was
Informal IN spirit. but nothing could
have been more fitting than to remem-
Der the grandest feat OF the old navy
BY using the decorations which will
later welcome its splendid successor.
The pause Of yesterday fn the prepara-
tions 70 pay homage TO the coming
heroees shows that San Francisco has
not forgotten the heroes OF 10 years
ago San Francisco Is the home Of
many OF these veterans, and with their
friends they 5ourneyed 10 the Dewey
monument yesterday TO fight again the
battle that did so much to firmly es-
tsbiish the prestige and glory OF Amer

Mercedes Errors in Right Field
Spoil Portldnd's Chance
for Victorp
STANDING OF THE CLUBS
RESULTS OF GAMES
BY w. j. SIattery

The Beavers and the Commuters did
the best they could TO win a decision
over the rain yesterday afternoon on
the Valencia street lot when they dis
covered that they could not outpoint
one another. However, the rain was
batting 1000 in the eighth inning.
Umpire Perrine, who is a very con-
siderste man and likes-to look out for
the physical welfare of his charges,
forbade the boys to go any further, so
the struggle ended to 4. with both
teams willing to proIong the fest
Either side should have won on many
occasions. but a fit of carelessness or
negligence always developed at the
critical moment and the good chances
were invariably Grabbed. Good, bad
and indifferent baseball were reeled off
by the yard. and there was fun for
everybody while the hostile clubs held
together.
Pinnance. the Indian pitcher. was the
best man on the Portland lineup. Had
his boss, Mr.. McCredie, looked after his
own job half as well as the Indian
did, the Beavers would have been a
notch higher in the race. The manager
Of the nine made two errors sout in
the right garden and both of them
gave the Commuters chances to slip
runs over the plate and nearly win the
game.
Hardy the Oakland south side hurl-
er. who has not lost game this sea-
son, was batted q little bit in two in
nings. but, as q whole. ne pitched about
as good baseball as he did against the
Seals last week. when Oakland gave
the home team its first setback Hardy
cut out his slow ball and used a very
fast one instead. He had good con-
troll. and with better support would
have made a far more favorable i'm
preston on the Beavers and the fans.
The fans were a bit sore when Per-
rine called the game for the fight was
beginning in real earnest. However.
there was no chance for more baseball.
as the field was becoming very sloppy
and the players had great difficulty in
handling the slippery horsehide. The

Sullivan Tips the Beam at 1867 Pounds
and Develops Great Body Punch

Luke Marisch, promoter of the COM
ing Attell-Sullivan bout, headed large
delegation of sporting men to Shan
mons villa yesterday afternoon to watch
Brooklyn Tommy Sullivan work out.
The little fellow made good. At the
conclusion of his days stunts he was
weighed by Marisch and tipped the
beam at 1861 pounds.
Sullivan is drinking water freely and
eating whatever he likes. so it looks as
though will make the required 123
pound notch without working overtime
He boxed four fast rounds with Jack
(Twin) Sullivan and young Butler yes
terday. He had plenty of steam and
was not afraid to wade in and take a
punch for a chance to deliver one.
Sullivan Is a body puneher and hits
low all the time. He has been cautioned
not to go too low, for fear of fouling
his man. When he defeated AtteIl in
ST. Louis four years ago the little
champion claimed a foul. It Is evidently
Sullivan's intention to play for AtteIls S
stomach. for he spends most of his time
perfecting this punch.
Quite number of prominent boxers will help
the mitts in friendly bouts Monday evening.
Among those who are carded to appear are
Joe Cans Boer Unholz Battling Nelson. Abe
and Sam Berger. The bouts will have all the
earmarks of the real thing, for Eddie Graney
win be there with his Tuxedo to referee and
Billy Jordan will lend his foghorn voice to an
nounce the stars Of the ring.

boxing this afternoon with big Joe Willis. the

Vanderbilt Cup Race
Admits Freaks
By r. r. I'T1orI1r1edieu

The attempt to change the rules for
the Vanderbilt cup contest so as to
limit it TO legitimate road machines
has failed. William K. Vanderbilt Jr.
desiring not TO place any Limitation on
the motor car construction which will
compete for his trophy, has left the
rules so that the freak machines may
run. The number of cars which may
be entered by any competing country
has been raised from five to ten. But
by far the most important change is
that which relates TO the weight limit
The new rule places the minimum
weight at 1885 pounds and the max
imum weight at 2,644.S pounds In for
mer racers the maximum weight was
z.204 pounds. This would bar many of
the loreign racing cars now being
built. The date of the race will not
be announced until after July 1. The
entrance fee will remain at $1,000 nm
til September l, after which It will be
doubled.
