ger Over Third Settles Game
in Seventh Round
SANDING OF THE oLuRs
RESULTS OF GAMES
Portland :, Oakland O.
Los Angeles 5, San Francisco O.
By w. J. SIaffery

That beating which Pitcher Robh,
Groom of the Beavers took at oa,<la nd
Tuesday afternoon seemed to rib him
just about right for yesterday. He
went into the box sore at the way tbe
OAKS mad passed it to him on the day
before and determined to hang one on
eheln' Just to show 'em up, if nothing
more. The fans who watched the game
are the best judges as to what Groom
did to Oakland. They watched him un-
vino MS DenderS for nine innings and
they also watched the frantic struggles
winch Oakland made to put a man
over
o. The Portland team which lost to
Gaklahd ,Sl two days ago and the Port
land team which won yesterday were
Two dlIerent aggregations entirely
yesterday the Beavers seemed to get
into the battle with the idea that they
Mere Mere al 10 the good and could do what
they wanted. Oakland may have had
Ideals, but Groom exploded them All
early in the fight
Portland lost no time, but proceeded
inning. After Bassey had been passed.
Johnson singled past short Danzig
forced the big Swede at second. but in
the meantime Bassey found his way
ceeded to pull off double steal, and
they got away with it very nicely
That was all till the seventh Then
Portland broke it up so that there was
no chance for an argument. Casey led
or with walk and went to third on
Bassey's safe tap to right. Anderson
booted Johnson's grounder and Casey
was In. DanZig laid down q bunt and
while Houston was busy booting it
Bassey sneaked in and the big fellow
was safe at first.
Oakland seemed to settle down at
this juncture. Ryan shot a grounder
down to short and Anderson whipped
the ball TO the plate in time to nail
Johnson at the plate. But this was
only flash of steadiness. Cooney,
the next man up shaded one right over
the third sack for two bagger, and
both Danzig and Ryan came through
on it.
There is a question as to whether or
not the ball Went safe. 1t looked to be
right over the bag, but the fans made
an awful howl. In fact, 1t was the
loudest demonstration made against a
declslon which Perine has rendered for
long time. All the bleacherites were
against 1t, and they We're not slow In
calling the indicator man ''robber,"
thief and other unkind names. How
that and the decision did not count as
far as the Beavers figured. In the
eighth inning Hardy passed both Casey
and Bassey. Before any of the Com
was coming off, Danzig ripped two
bagger into deep center field that reg
istered both men and made the score
Z to 0 in favor of Portland
Oakland seemed demoralized all along
the line. Once Portland broke in with
those four runs in the seventh inning
the Commuters were IN. They seemed
to have lost all heart and could not. go
from that time on. The northern gang
worked nicely behind Groom and
earned most everything it got. Out

.Shortstopzeider Traded
to the White SOx
Seals Will Get Three Men and
a Check in Exchange
for Him

Rollie Zeider. the clever little Seal
shortstop. one of the best ball play
ers in the Pacific Coast league, became
the property of the Chicago American
league yesterday afternoon, when Man
ager Danny Long disposed of him in
exchange for three players and snug
sum to boot. Zeider will finish the
season with San Francisco and report
for training to Manager Comiskey of
the White Sox next spring, when the
men. whom he was traded for will also
put In an appearance here.
This deal ends long bidding war
for the fast little infielder Tom
O Brien, the Cleveland scout, tried to
land him several months ago, but Long
wanted too much money then and the
deal fell through. O'Brien would have
stood even that raise, but his club
action was practically declared off then
and there.
Since that time many of the big
league managers have been casting
longing eyes on Zeider Comiskey was
one of the first of these appear on the
scene, and as, he and Long are great
friends. the local manager naturally
played into his hands.
Long does not know whom he will
receive in exchange for Zeider. but he
says they must be good men. or he
for delivery rolls around, the local
manager will be permitted to specify
what kind of players ne wants in ex-
change for Zeider.

SCHOOLS TO HAVE
But FEW HOLIDAYS
Students Will Spend Busy Time
According to Schedule of
Board of Education
Holidays wi

Holidays will be few and far be-
tween for the youngsters of the San
Francisco public schools this year. OF
205 working days mapped out for the
children there will be EOS days when
work is done-with no more special
holidays whenever something comes UP
that seems to deserve more than or
binary celebration. Outside of Christ
mas and Easter weeks only seven other
holidays in the 40 weeks course are in
dicated in the school calender, which
was made one of several important rec
concentrations to the school board by
superintendent Alfred Roncovier yes
terday.
Here are the days that will bring
surcease from school labors: Labor
day, September and 8, and Admission
day, September 8; Thanksgiving day,
November 26, and the day following
Washington's birthday. February %:
and Memorial day. May 81. The Christ
mas holidays. however, will last from
December 21 to January 2, and Easter
week, including the days for the teach
ers' institute, will be from March 81 to
April II.
Last year there were so many holi-
days that the youngsters attended
school during only 1SS of the 205 days.
Most of the courses had to be abbre-
waited as a result.
Roncovieri reported that many of the
schools are sadly overcrowded In the
Grattan grammar school, he said, five
teachers are crowded into four rooms,
with the result that one of them. Miss
Simson, with 40 pupils, is in the half
way most of the time. Many of the
pupils have to sit on the floor. In the
Irving primary school immediate re-
lief. he declared, is imperative, two ex-
ira rooms and another teacher being
needed.
Roneovieri recommended that the
board of public health be asked for a
temporary IS room school building for
the Commercial high school pupils on
the old Clement school lot or the lot
behind the Hamilton school. He said
the Commercial high school, with it's $40
students, and the Mission high. with
more than 500, still have TO use the
same building, obliging the Mission
pupils to stop their work at 1915 to
make room for those in the Commercial
classes Both schools are seriously
handicapped.
As no printed report on the public
schools has been issued since 1902, re-
sultihg in much nnfavorable comment
in outside educational centers, Romeo
vieri asked that 1900 copies of the SUI
perintendent's report for 1907 and 1908
be printed for distribution. He also
asked for $1,000 for music books and
sheets.
The following teachers were trans
ferred: Miss v. Evans. from Fairmont
to Glen park school, Mrs. F. e. Davis
from the unassigned list to Cleveland
primary, third grade; Mrs. $. Harte,
from Fairmont to James Lick grammar
school; Miss Marie f. dor from Cleve-
land to Clement school, first grade.
