LERCARI ANGLING
FOR JOHNSON
AND KETCH
Offers the Big Fellows Purse
of S25,O0O to Fight
This Month
By William J. Siatfery

Promoter Charles Lercari has sud
denly decided to put a strong line on
his fish pole and start angling after
the heavy fish in the pond of pugdom.
Last night his thoughts wandered far
from the Lew Powells and the Johnny
Murphys and the Boer Unhoizes, and
fastened themselves upon Ketchel ana
Johnson and Kaufman. The Paclfc
club promoter fairly burned the ground
as he tore to the telegraph office and

permit rolls his way. But he seems
to be after the stars this time and
he also has hopes of landing them He
will not say anything further until
he hears from the fighters.
Jim Coffroth will start east after
Ketchel and Johnson within the next
few days. He has been trying to break
away for several days past. but pres
sure of local business has detained him.
Now however, when he sees that he
has a rival in the field. the Mission
street promoter will surely show some
additional speed, for every day will
count.
Coffroth looms up as the most likely
promoter of this match. if it is ever
made. He has good date for 1T, the
fourth of July. and he has good
arena in which to pull it off. Also
he has a good booster for his cause in
the person of Willis Britt Ketchels
manager. With all these things in his
favor, Coffroth should get off TO a
good start.

Boasberg May Have Fled to

his recent conviction of violation of

Boasberg gave it out that Jackson
vile. Fla, was to be his destination,
but 1t is intimated that he is in reality
preparing to go into hiding until the

Well, the boys took the crusher yes
terdzy from the oaks. The basehits
which the visitors wasted on the pre-
vious day came in very handy. and they
took advantage Of every one Of them.
Il win be remembered that on Friday
they could only score lone tally with
the assistance Of Is bingles. Yesterday
they went for three runs on half a
dozen smacks. all Of which goes to
illustrate the value of punching your
hits in d ball game. Six hits coming
when they should come do more good
for a team than 60 made at times when
there are no runners on The paths.
The Seals could not hit Christian
That's why they lost He showed them
al up and made monkeys out OF them
he had spit ball and d slow ball and
fast one and a change of pace and
control What more could d pitcher
ask forS Why, Christian could have
blanked the Cubs with the assortment
at his command. He deserves all the
creolt that IS coming to him.
The best the Seals got was two
lOnelieS.. One of these was an infeld
bouncer from the bat of Jimmy Lewis
in the second inning. After that time
and up 10 the ninth the Seals were
moved down with machinelike regu-
larity by Christian and the men behind
him. Il looked as though one was TO
be the lot Of the local tribe till Tom
Tenant tore OF a nice drive TO deep
center with Bodie out Of the way in
the last spasrn. Naturally this did not
bring any runs to help the cause along.
The entire Oakland team played d
brand OF baseball good enough for any
varied in his steady work for Z mo-
ment while the men behind him were
equally as effective. There was not
an error nor anything like an error
charged against them. They We're just
as fast IN the field as they were on
the bases, and that's performing.
Eastley pitched good enough TO win
an ordinary game of ball, but every
body who understands baseball knows
well that q pitcher can't win a game
unless the team behind him hits now
and then. The Seal pitcher was re-
sp0nSible for one run at least. One
Of the others might have scored. while
the first was the fault OF bad muff by
Mundorf.
This came IN the first inning. after
two were gone. McCay beat out one
Of those infield hits Of his and stole
second. He made q dash for third on
the hit and run signal and Mundorf
dropped Williams throw, letting
Mac in.
Then there was a lapse till the fourth,
when Hogan opened with a double
cushion swipe TO the right field fence
and Lewis singled past first Melchoir
booted the ball around the lot, and
while he booted Hogan kept on his
way till he reached the pan.
McCay registered the third and final
run for his team two rounds later He
got away with another inheld hit and
Hogan bUnted him along. Little Brey-
ette had the necessary drive tucked
away in his bat. and he unloaded it at
the proper moment. The score:

Good polo was seen on Charles W.
Clark's field at San Mateo yesterday.
1t was good inasmuch as there was a
splendid exhibition of team work. The
men seemed to be keyed up and played
polo. The fact that only eight goals
were scored altogether, for the
Reds and for the Whites. and only
eight tries for goal. for the Reds and
for the Whites. showed that the ball
was kept well out of dangerous
ground by both sides.
The field was soft and the ponies
were not as sure footed as they would
a. certain extent, made the playing at
times a little uncertain. The four
periods were full of snap and kept the
spectators on the cheering point all the
time. Some OF the local men did not
play as strong a game as they have
put up in previous games, but this
may be accounted for by the fact that
they were saving their ponies
The. Reds were the stronger team,
60 49, l.
In the third period Colonel Ross pony
went down and rolled the colonel over.
He, however. was not hurt and after
his mount had been brought back on
the field, continued the game.
One of the prettiest shots of the
day was made by Driscoll at the end
of the third period. He recovered the
ball out of a scrimmage, and with a
fearful back hand stroke, scored Tt
was a splendid shot at hard angle.
Just before the game closed in the
fourth period Hobart got the ball and
made hard drive to score. Driscoll
saw the play and covered goal. The
shot was high and the ball hit Dris-
coils pony in the ribs with the sound
of bass drum. 1t saved the goal, but
the pony carried sore spot.
Gill scored the first goal for the
Reds l minute and rs seconds after the
Dali was Jf11OWH III. fOul minutes ana
30 seconds later he scored again. Then,
within Is seconds of time, Ross got the
ball clear and scored for the Whites
minutes and 80 seconds after the
second period began. Hobart got his
chance and scored, to be followed six
minutes later by another score by Gill.
In the third period, when the period
was just about to close, Driscoll man
aged to get the ball clear and scored
He repeated the performance 80 sec
onds after the fourth period began
! but that was the last for the Whites
Gill, about half period, scored another
for the Re6s, making the final score
