RECORD FOR OAKLAND

SAN FRANCISCO, May 13.-Big Jim
Wigs, the giant tWirler of the Oaks,
almost pitched himself into worlds

which is just as much to the point,
Wigs shut out the Seals and stopped
the winning streak of the leaders in
the pennant race by a score of to o.
In fact, Wigs came as close to the

the runner, and Christian hit one to
Tenant that took a nasty bound. Ho-
gan scored and the runner was safe.
Carl Lewis hit one to Mundorff at
third. The ball bounded and Lewis
was safe. Tenant tried to return and
threw to catch Christian at third, but
hit the bench and the second Oakland
run was sent across the plate. A wild
pitch took Lewis to third, and after

Next Friday evening Manager NC

priced programs at Maud Junction, al
fording the Youngsters an opportunity
to earn their weekly rations, which
sometimes, even for puSilists, come far
apart. The card will consist of seven
bouts, and there is no head liner, the
final bout going only six rounds. -Four
of the evenings events. already have
been framed up, all to go six rounds,
and three others over the four round
distance will be placed on the program.
frankie Sullivan, the race track lad,
will meet Johnny Hugo, fast little
slugger, in the windup. The boys will
weigh in at 124 pounds at o'clock, and
should put up af asst battle. Steeple-
chase Martin has been imported to give
Willie Mack all the fighting he wants,
and the slow moving lightweight will
have to go at faster pace than he has
set heretofore to win. The Steeplechaser
is some slugger, and will mix it as far
as the Willie lad likes.
Mike Kutchos again bobs up for six
rounds with Young Togo. Most of the
fans hope the Jap will trim the Greek,
for Michael is none too popular owing
to his care in selecting opponents whom
he believes he can whip. Kid Barnes
and Herb White are down for the third
six -rounder. The four-round bouts will
be framed up today by Matchmaker
Hancock.
The Pacific Athletic club has received
confirmatory word from Willis Britt

Hereafter. whenever the Beavers
find themselves in a tight hole ana
know of no other fetish to call upon
to extricate themselves their best pro-
cedure will be call for the lucky
seventh" provided they have not
passed that stage. Aside from TINS IN
ming the game yesterday between port
land and Hogan was as even prop
osition as the most rabid nonpartisan
could have desired. There was little
to choose from between the teams IN
the first six innings, and, in fact, up TO
that time it looked as if another extra
inning game might result, as both ag-
eregations had secured a run, and
stuck at that point. Roy Hit, a not
weather pitcher, had held the north
erners down to one lonesome single by
Olson in the third, and was pitching
that kind of ball that breaks records
The Portland players swung their
sticks from every angle known TO
geometry or higher mathematics, but
had failed to solve Hits delivery.
A pause ensued as Johnson went to
the plate in the opening of the sew
enth. The umpires long-drawn call
of ball" was followed by hard hit
from the batter's implement and then
it was all off for Vernon. For the next
five minutes Happy Hogan was in mis-
cry. Stovall dropped Johnson's fly TO
center and the runner was safe; Breen
was passed to first by Hit; then Ken
needy doubled to left, scoring the two
men on bases. Armbruster, the sturdy
catcher, came to the plate, rubbed his
hands in the dirt and banged the bal
out to center for a another double,
scoring Kennedy.

Son of Vice President Defeats Former
Golf Champion, Winning Cup
for Best Qualification

WASHINGTON, May 13.-T. M. Sher-
man of Utica, n. Y, son of the wee
president, today lowered the colors OF
Walter ]. Travis, former amateur golI
champion. winning the cup for the pest
score in the qualification rounds of the
Chevy Chase open spring tournament.
Travis, however, as well as Sherman
qualified among the first eight VINO are
to play for the club cup.
The ideal weather and the eXcelient
course brought out lightweight play
ers Including many from San Fran
cisco.
Congressman Irving P. Wanger or
Pennsylvania represented the official
set of Washington on the links, ana
Vice President Sherman was a spec
tator
Interest centered in the play of Sher-
man and Travis, who finished at the
head of the list, going the rounds to-
gether. Travis was to have played with
F. o. Horstmann, one of the best play
ers of the Chevy Chase club, but
broken rib prevented the latter's par
ticipation.
Sherman, who is the champion of
central New York, and Travis have Of
ten been pitted against each other, but
always until today Travis won. Sher-
man really won in The morning round,
when he turned in a card of so, three
strokes better than Travis. Both went
the round in the afternoon game in the
same number of strokes, 70. Sherman
score for the day was 1853 and Travis
1856.
The comparatively poor showing of
the former champion during the fore
noon put him on his mettle during the
second round, and he made the greens
in the lowest score of the season for
the course. Travis led Sherman in the
afternoon round to the eighteenth hole,
but the New Yorker evened the score
by a beautiful putt on the home green.

uernons Get Shock

These two two baggers in quick sue
cession staggered the Vernonites, and
before they had recovered from the
shock Garrett had singled. advancing
his receiver, and Ryan repeated, bring
ing Armbruster over the pan. On OIL
sons out, via the Hitt-Adams route,
Garrett closed the procession across
the plate. The scorer sent chill
through the hearts of the loyal YER
nonites by tolling the bell for five runs,
putting the Beavers safely in the lead.
Hogan had Hensling warm up, fearing
that Hit had lost his arm for the
game, but the big twirler took brace
and held the Portlanders without
hit or run in the last two innings.
Leaving out the seventh, which,
however, Hogan probably will dream
about for several nights, the game
was well played, and Hit had all the
best of it in the box work Roy struck
out seven men and, even counting the
disastrous period, held the northerners
to five hits, four of them coming in a
collection. Had he been given good
support probably this runaway period
would have finished up with about one
tally for the visitors, but errors in the
outfie1d when men are on bases are
serious matters.

Portland took their other tally in

Adams-the original Mr.. Mutt, who
took Rrashear's place at frst-threw
wild to Hit McCredie went down on
a wild pitch and Speas reached third
on Johnson's strike-out and scored
when Stovall dropped Kennedy's long
fly to center
Vernon tied up the visitors by adj
ministering the same dose in their next
time at bat. Haley crossed the plate
on his single and steal and Caffyn's
ripping double. 1t looked like a couple
of more scores, but Martinke tried to
pull off a double steal all by himself
and was caught off second, Caffyn re-
fusing to be showed off third.
Garrett was found for enough hits
to win any ordinary game, but poor
connection with bases held the Ho-
ganites down. Considering the trou-
blesome times in the seventh the game
was fairly fast. The tabulated score:

THEIR RELIGION A MIXTURE
tumble of Beliefs That Mark Odd
Sect in the Empire of
the Gar.

Among the numerous religious
sects In Russia the most remarkable
and influential are the Subbotniki,
or Sabbatarians. They first ap-
peared in the reign of Catherine
H., toward the end of the eighteenth
century. The members of this sect
practice the rite of circumcision, do
not believe in Christ, accept only
the Old Testament and observe the
Sabbath on Saturday. They also
slaughter cattle and fowls according
to the Jewish law, use praying
shawls, and wear zizit (fringes) !,
praying with covered heads from
Hebrew prayer books, with Rus
sian translation. They are industri-
Gus, hospitable and can read and
write. Up to 1920 they lived for
the most part in Moscow, Saratov,
lula, Orel, etc. In the reign OF
Alexander I. they enjoyed freedom.
Nevertheless. the Russian clergy Of
Mohiley killed about $50 Subbotniki
and their leaders. The son of one of
the leaders was tortured with hot
irons and then burned at the stake.
In the reign of Nicholas l. many
wished to embrace Judaism, and set
tied in the Pale of Settlement (the
Ghetto), but the government BAN
ished them to Siberia and the eau
casus. The Subbotnih number
about 100000, and dress like the
orthodox Russians.
