Commuters Thrill Fans
by Beating Angels
HeifmuIler'S Home Run and
Hardy's Fine Pitching Help
Bring About Defeat
STANDING OF THE CLUBS
RESULTS OF GAMES
Oakland ?, Los Angeles 1.
Portland 10, San Francisco 3.

The Commuters got lucky yesterday
afternoon and walked away with a
game on their home grounds. 1t was
the first setto Of the series and, there
fore. the victory proved all the more
valuable to the transbay tossers The
Oakland fans will remember very dis
tnctly that 1t was the maiden win of
the oaks for so many weeks that they
hate 10 start counting. All the way
ned save Henry Berry, and he did not
figure yesterday.
The decision which Oakland re-
ceived was as tight a one as any ball
team ever put over on any lot. With
two down in the ninth and that ever
reliable sticker, Barnard, swinging the
big stick and apparently ready to cIout
the ball mile, Bert Delmas was caught
mapping off third by Lewis and then
everybody went home.
Southpaw Hardy worked as though
he never would pitch another game of
ball as long as he lived. In fact he
never did show so much speed as he
did against the Angel champions Bar
ring the first inning, when they got to
the left handler for their only run. he
was after them all the time and he
hung II on everybody so cleanIy cut
that there was not a chance to protest
Los Angeles opened up the game with
the usual dash and vim that have
marked their work all season. Hardy
could not remember where the plate
was and he passed Bernard and Oakes
right of the reel. Cap Dillon was for
tunate enough to lift a Texas Lacquer
into the center garden and while the
ball was being fielded by Van, Bernard
arrived. After that time not an Angel
came within whistling distance of the
pan till Delmas was nailed in the
ninth.
The same inning saw the score tied
up. After Van Haltren and Cook had
fallen for Koestner's twisters, Heine
Heitmuller spotted one that he liked
and he proceeded to wallop it over the
left field fence. Naturally the Oak
land fans went crazy with glee and
they stayed happy all afternoon.
During the progress of the fifth Oak
land sneaked the final run over and
won the game. Hardy started with a
grounder, which Smith fielded nicely
but tossed away at first. Van beat
out pretty bunt and Cook hoisted a
long fly to Oakes. Hardy showed a
great flash Of speed and managed to
nose out the throw to the plate and
incidentally win the game for Oak
land.
Both teams played nice baseball all
the time. Errors happened at long in
tervals only and snappy work by the
lnnelders held the attention of the
fans throughout the struggle A big
crowd was on the job and everybody
rooted hard for Oakland. The efforts
OF the fans seemed to spur Oakland on
and the team played one of its best
games this season. The score:

was the last day but one of the sum
night races, filled well, and there was
considerable quality among the start

the choice in the race and She had no
trouble in beating her field. Getting
opening up lead of a couple of
lengths, was never headed. Tony Bo-

stretch and easily held the others safe,
getting the place from Bad News by
three lengths.

SEATTLE, July Psf. Neugent, the
crack Salvaoo gelding that II. A. Cot
ton brought here from California to
train for the Old Ned stable in conjunc-
ton with his own horses, Janeta and
captain Burnett, turned such a start
ling form somersault today in winning
the Capitol Hill handicap from band
OF goOd sprinters that Cotton and his
entire racing outfit We're forthwith sus-
pended by the stewards. Neugent was
nelo rayorite in q similar field yester-
Gay and failed TO show even a flash of
speed with Jockey GaugeI UP. Today
win Jockey Lycurgus as his pilot he
ran a sparkling race and won with
ease al 20 to i, which long odds were
laid against him solely because of his
poor performance Of yesterday, the gen
eral conclusion being that the horse
was Tar from his true form.
Cotton said when the. stewards made
inquiry this morning concerning yes
teroay's poor showing by Neugent,
tnat ne had placed substantial bet on
the morse and that he was at a loss to
account for his bad race as the horse
had been working we'll Inasmuch as
Cotton's horses have been notorious in
and cutters, both here and at Oakland
the oh1cfals decided TO hold him re-
sponsible when today's form reversal
brought matters TO a crisis.
Among the hOrsemen there is an in
clinauon TO blame Jockey Gaugel for
the failure OF Neugent to run his race
Yesterday. It is pointed out that many
horses that Gaugel had recently rid
den had improved wonderfully in other
nands. The stewards had Gaugel be-
fore them today and viii devote more
attention TO him tomorrow. His rides
on Stoney Lee. Barney Oldfeld. Dull
clnea, Miss Worth and other horses
with which ne should have done much
better than he did will be carefully
looked into.
Phillstina and Harry Scott were sue
cesSEul taFOriteS today. and Kerry. sec
ond choice of the opening race was the
only other short priced winner. The
balance OF the card went to the long
shots.
Jockey Walsh was painfully injured
by being thrown from the fractiOus

Caucuses Held Last Night.

Right up to the converting of the
convention today the greatest uncer-
tainty exists regarding the vice pres
idential nomination. The various eau
cuses held throughout last night were
unable to reach any settlement be-
tween the factions. Manager Hitch
cock for the Taft forces is trying to
force the nomination of Dolliver, but
so far has met with little success. 1t
is reported that his failure in this
direction has angered Hitchcock and
he had several violent alterations
with delegates. The New York dele
CATION is still booming Sherman, but
it is reported that President Roose-
welt is opposed to him.
Hanley's speech nominating Fair
banks is reported to have offended
the president, and the result may be
to put Fairbanks out of the race for
the vice presidency. The early indi-
cations today are that all of the
favorite sons will be placed before
the convention today, and it will re-
quire ballot to tell the tale
The national committee will meet
after the adjournment of
the convention, and it is expected a |
will be named to con-
fer with Taft as to the selection of a
chairman Hitchcock is now
regarded as the likeliest candidate |
for the position.
