of brushing off the plate with his little
whisk broom every now and then.
With all his peculiarities Flynn is a
first class man, for he gives his decis-
ions quickly and clearly and is just
lively enough in his actions to add
spice to the game. SO far he has had
no real close ones to handle, but he
would no doubt be there, for he gave
Mohler to understand yesterday that
he was boss of the field when the
Seals captain came UP to kick at one
of his rulings.

SAN PEDRO. Sept. 9.-Pacific Elec-
trio car No. 1870. which left the Sixth

Pitcher Jack Griffin from the Waco
team of the Texas league made his de-
but into the Pacific Coast league at
Oakland yesterday morning and from
the way he performed 1t looks as II the
Oaks management has secured first
class slabster. 1t must be taken into
consideration that the young fellow has
been in our midst only two days, and
is hardly acclimated yet, and that all
of his surroundings ere new to him.
He has a nice bunch of curves and his
control is all that could lie desired,
while he fields his position like a. vet
eran. Should he prove winner, and
every indication points that way, 1t
will be welcome news for the fans, for
San Francisco has been woefully weak
In the box almost since the very OPEN
ing of the season.
The news was passed around yester-
day that the New York American
league team has thrown the drag net
around Catcher w. Killifer, who Is
now on the San Francisco pay roll. He
belongs to Austin of the Texas league
until next month, when Danny's OPP
ton expires. Not to discourage. the
Americans or the young fellow him
self. but ne is far from being ripe
enough to play in the big brush, let
alone in the Pacific Coast league; at
least his work so far hasn't shown
him to be anywhere near In Micky
La Longe's class, and we haven't
heard Of anybody drafting him as yet.
Cincinnati slipped in a draft for
George Smith, who is en- route to the
coast to play with the Oakland team
of the Coast league, but 1t does not
look very much as though they will
get him. Oakland sept on piece of
coin for the release of Smith and his
sale to the Oaks has been promulgated
by the national commission, so he
really belongs to the Oaks, and IL the
Reds want him that is the place from
which he will have to be drafted.

High School Athletics

Virtually unheard of in athletics since 1905
Mission high school has suddenly taken PROM
inent place In the world Of amateur sports Mis-
sion's temperance is due solely TO the untiring
efforts OF Prof. Walter o. Smith, the principal
of the institution. Professor Smith, previous to
becoming principal of Mission high, was for sew
eral years head of the department OF science at
that school. Upon the resignation of Joseph
OConnor Smith appointed principal. He
has always been enthusiast for honest sports
and he Immediately began to arouse the athletic
spirit which had lain dormant for some time.
The task was arduous, but he labored inces-
sanity and succeeded in overcoming the obstacles
which lay before him. When Smith took up the
struggle Mission high school had been out OF the
Academic athletic league since 1905. This had
been caused by misunderstanding in q league
basket ball game in which the league and the
school officials had differed. The basket ball
team was reinstated in the league IN June, 1905.
The school not represented track field
save by two men, Levy and Mcpherson, both dis
tance runners
The students gradually awakened to apprecia-
tion OF Smiths iabOrs and began TO organize
various athletic teams. Basket ball, track, swim
ming football. baseball and tennis teams were
formed by the boys and goods. and the athletic
standard of the school was visibly strengthened

Bat Nelson a Big Card
on Western Stage

Champion Battling Nelson seems to
be the one best bet and the real magnet
in middle western theatrical circles.
According to the latest bulletins from
Chicago and Detroit, Nelson is drawing
packed houses in every town and city
where he has been billed in the last
two weeks, and now the rival theatri-
cal managers are engaged in brisk bid
ding for his services
CharleS Dixon, VINO is acting Nelson's IN
anclal agent on the road, teegraphs that the
champion has offer OF $4,000 for a fifteen
weeks engagement with one theatrical synis-
cate Though this looks big Nelson has not
accepted 1t as yet, for better things may be
IN store for him. He has another Ofer Of
Sl3,50O for a twelve weeks run and ii is
likely that these figures will jump within Il few
days.
In every city where he has appeared thus far
the Dane managed to jump into popularity a1
once. Though he has been much sought after
by the big sporting men and the theatrical
people, the champion still spends large portion
OF his time with the newsbOys and amuses him
self with his usual stunt OF throwing coins for
them TO scramble for.
