MORAN WINS IN
THE TWENTIETH
NATIVE SON LOSES, BUT GOES
THE LIMIT
HanIon Gamely Sticks the Limit, ALI
though Unable to Give His Backers
Much Encouragement-EngIish-
man Entirely Too Clever
[Dy Associated PresA1

COLISEUM RINK, SAN FRANCIS
CO, Sept. 30.-After twenty rounds of
fast fighting during which he practic-
ally cut his opponent to ribbons. Owen
Moran, the English featherweight, was
given the decision over Eddie Hanlon,
the California lightweight. Moran's in
ability to score knockout doubtless
was due to the fact that Hanlon
weighed fully eight pounds more than
he. In only one round out of the twen-
ty did Hanlon have any advantage.
Moran started in to make his fight
from the tap of the initial gong, and
kept constantly after his opponent un-
til the contest had terminated. In the
very first round he dazed Hanlon with
a rapid fusillade of left punches to the
face, which he varied with solid rights
to the body. Hanlon was no match in
cleverness for the shifty Briton, and
soon realized that his only hope of ul
innate victory lay in close range fight
ing.
Moran, however, was not caught
mapping. He kept up a merciless pep
pering of Hanlon's face and in the
seventh round had the blood flowing in
streams from the Californian's mouth
and nostrils.
In the thirteenth round-the only one
In which Hanlon had any advantage
the Englishman was caught while In a
neutral corner. Hnnlon shot a wicked
right to the stomach that sent Moran
reeling into midring. Hanlon followed
this advantage with a couple of face
smashes. That vas as far as he got,
for the Briton covered up and when
the round terminated ne went smiling
ly to his corner.
Moran in the succeeding rounds
smashed Hanlon almost at will Han
Ions nose was be dly cut, his lip split
and both eyes were all but closed
Hanlon gave remarkable exhibition
of gameness, and despite the heart
breaking punishment that was being
meted out to him he was always fight
ing back hard ana several times forced
the Englishman TO stall.
"Hanlon didn't have a chance at any
stage of the fighting" said Referee
Eddie Smith after the fight. He was
outfought from start 10 finish and
fought the last ten rounds on courage,
pure and simple"

ANGELS FALL
BEFORE HOODOO
TOO MANY THIRTEENS FOR
THEM TO WIN
FREAKlsH GAME GOES TO CREDIT
OF VISITORS
Both TwIrIers Touched Up for Bakers
Dozen 5ineles, but Seals Manage
TO Make Each. Count
for One Tally
Seals 1s, Angels q

Koestner got "his" yesterday in good
fashion, just as any other crack twirl-
er is apt to do, when the Seals lit onto
his curves for thirteen hits and as
many runs. The visitors won the game
because they punched their hits and
were lucky. The Champions got as
many safeties as their opponents, but
they were less lucky, and only four
runs crossed the pan for them. 1t
was one OF those freak games that
make baseball one of the greatest
sports on earth, where luck Is the
prime factor.
The combination of thirteen proved
a hoodoo for the Angels. Each team
got thirteen hits, and 1t fell to the lot
of the visitors to turn their bingies to
good account, making every hit count
for a run, while the best the Angels
could do was to ,feebly count four
times. It was a game that made the
fans sit in silence and wonder at the
freaks of an unkind fate that would
permit a home team to get such q
miserable break as fell to the Angels.
II seemed that the easiest grounders
would take on life and play jack-in-
the-box with the f1elders who tried to
trap them, and when a fly was sent
to outfield the sun. wind or sandstorm
or something else interfered to make
the best fielders on the coast misJudge
distances. It was q game that counts
in the percentage column, but which
reflected slight credit even on the win

luck of the game. The score and sum

OVER RUSSIAN
Battling Johnson Assurediy Is In Bet
ter Health and AIl-Round Form
Now Than Any Time Since
He Began to Fight

Jim Barry is 10 to favorite over
Battling Johnson for their ten-round
boxing contest at McCarey's pavilion
tomorrow evening. The Russian has
been absent in the mountains for 30
long during his training for the Barry
fight that the fans have not secured
much of a line on his condition, but
Manager Gaines says that Johnson Is
in the Oest condition and health of his
career and that he will go into the ring
at about 1870 pounds, as against 179
pounds when he fought Kaufman.
The Russian win fight along the same
lines With which the public is familiar,
except that behind his punches and
rushes will be the steam of a healthy
heavyweight, and he further says that
he will not be found the awkward
fighter the fans have been accustomed
to seeing, but thai he will feint and
sidestep with equal agility of his OPP
ponent Those who expect to see the
numbering Russian of former contests,
therefore, will be disappointed, and 1t
may be possible TINT he has something
up his sleeve which Will surprise the
wise ones. Arthur Collins, who has
been Johnson's sparring partner, has
been quietly tipping 1t off that the
Russian Is a seven days wonder, but
as he has been pressed into secrecy by
Manager Gaines he Is rather reticent as
to particulars.
Barry completed his training yester-
day with a seVerer trial than on any
previous day. H9 did ten miles on
the highway in the morning and In the
afternoon he appeared In the inclosure
of the South Side Athletic club and dis
posed Of an hour in using the various
gymnasium apparatus. He finished up
the days work with six fast rounds
with the mits. using Maurice Sayers as
his partner.
johnson did little in the way OF train
ing, preferring to rest until the day of
the battle. He VIII keep himself in
action with slight exercise, but will
cut out the nit work.
Great reports come from Al Weinigs
training quarters. 1t is said that he is
such "kidder'' that he has all of the
boys In an uproar most of the time, but
at the same tims he never neglects the
opportunity to paste his opponent in the
softest place. He is rounding to In
splendid shape and he hopes to show
the fans that he is back in his old
form once more. Collins is in bangup
condition and his ecience will be of no
little benefit to him when he faces the
Chicago wonder.

organized baseball, is to enlarge the
Coast league to q six-club circuit. with
Sacramento and another southern club
to fill in. BY this plan Los Angeles
still would have continuous baseball
next season. If this plan Is adopted 1t
will be upon an agreement to the erect
that the Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane
clubs of the Northwestern league will
be admitted for the season of 1910 II
they show sufficient drawing powers
and class during 1909 to Justify their
admission to the Coast league, thus
forming an eight-club circuit for 1910.
Berry is of the opinion that the out
laws will come into organized baseball
and that the four-club Coast league
circuit of 1908 will be maintained next
year, with a six-club State league cir
cult as hereinbefore named, to furnish
continuous baseball in Los Angeles.
Berry has investigated conditions in
the outlaw league and finds every club,
practically, willing to come into the
fold Stockton may not be won over as
easily as all other clubs, but with every
other club willing. even anxious, for
the new arrangement, the Millers will
have TO Join the procession or stay out
in the cold all alone.
Local fans will favor the proposition
of maintaining the four-club Coast
league circuit as at present and the ad-
mission of the State league clubs as
class B organizations. This plan will
give Los Angeles two pennant chasers
and 1t is believed that such an arrange
ment will operate much to the advan-
tage of the game. 1t will keep alive
the interest of the fans at all times and
prove entirely more interesting than II
two Coast league clubs were placed In
the local field.
