A CORDING to the official figures
"a Doc Miller, who joined the Seals
n late in the season and partici-
pated in 90 games, leads the players
in the Pacific Coast baseball league
with batting average OF 547. which
is certainly a creditable showing.
Stewart, the pitcher whom San Fran
cisco secured from Texas, was the
only other player who batted over
800. His average is 31S for 10 games,
which is hardly a true line-of his real
merit as a. swatter
OF the regulars Henry MeIchior is
out in front with 39S. He is not sup
posed to be able to hit left handed
pitchers, but he must have Jared

quiet number of southpaws in the

DORY SAILING is
SOUTHERN SPORT
Los Angeles YachfSmen Spend
the Winter Months With
the Small Boats

Although the yachtsmen of San
Francisco bay may se considered the
veterans of the Pacific coast, yet they
have some things to learn from their
southern brethren, who, although de-
prived of sailing during the winter
months in their staunch seaworthy
inactivity. The breezes of the winter
on the Pacific coast and especially on
San Francisco bay, would make good
sailing weather on the Atlantic sea-
board. But as compared with the fine
strong winds of summer it might well
be claimed to be closed season.
The Los Angeles yachtsmen, to fill
larger yachts are in winter quarters,
have taken up the matinee sport of
dory sailing.
The seaworthy single handlers are
being raced in their second season in
the outer harbor of San Pedro under
the auspices of the South Coast yacht
club. Races are held every Sunday
afternoon and holidays. The fleet is
divided up into several classes. al
though being of the same size and
practically of the same design, and
different classes are sailed on different
Sundays, and the winners in one class
racing against the winner in another
until only one is left, like the finals in
tennis.
The season is divided into two parts,
the winner of the first and second parts
sailing at the end of the season for
the championship cup. The reason for
putting the dories in different classes is
that it furnishes a series of winners
to race against winners, and does not
require an owner to be in attendance
every Sunday.

realizing that his stand is certain
TO precipitate another eruption of the
baseball Vesuvius, the Americans chief
today reiterated his statement that he
would refuse to serve on the national
commission with the New York lawyer
as a colleague, and added that his posi-
ton had been indorsed by every club
owner in his circuit
Ban made one startling prediction.
He prophesied that there would be
baseball war in 1910 even if il We're
averted this year Evidently he be-
would not quit" permanently even if
they were to lose out in the coming
election, as now appears unlikely.
President johnson went farther. He
presented another argument against
the advisability of having Ward a
commissioner and made charge that
President Murphy of the Cubs had eX-
pressed himself as believing the ruling
court should decide all its cases with a
view to giving the National league the
better of it where both major bodies
were concerned, since the National had
two votes TO the Americans one.
DO you think we are going to allow
man of Murphy's caliber the balance
of power in a thing as big as baseball?'
aueried Johnson. Garry Hermann has

Murphy in watch the latter stated opeG-
~ that the National league should be

Furthermore Hermann and Hey
der both have insulting letters from
the Chicago man. calling them for
not taking the part of the National
league in cases in which the National
was clearly wrong. Murphy is opposed
to Beydler because he has voted in the
commission as an honest man should
vote and has not allowed his National
league afiliation to interfere with his
sense of justice"
The American league executive as
serted that John Ward was attorney
for Henry Taft. brother of Charles p.
Taft. hacker of the Cub magnate, and
that he would be sure to favor the
Chicago club on the commission on ac-
count of this connection.
Doctor Kramer was made the scape-
GOAT in the umpire bribing case, con-

at the statement of Charles W. Muir

Ward won't even be elected on the
twenty-frst ballot" he said
Dreyfus, denied the report from Chi

Pittsburg club. had decided to retire
from the game.
Clarke is coming on to New York
next week." said Dreyfus, mot to tell
me that his ball playing days are over,
but to decide where our team is to
train next spring. We have an offer
to go to California. Clarke will be
the Pittsburg team manager next sea-
SON and as many. years thereafter as
he cares to serve
There is little talk about trades that
will be made here next week. Club
owners and managers. are too inter-
ested in the political situation in the
National league to discuss swapping
players just now.
Ban Johnson, president of the Amer
lean league, is due to reach New York
tomorrow night. There will be a meet
ing of the national commission here
next Monday morning. The report that
Johnson would air the umpire brib-

games of the year for Santa Clara will
be those with ST. Marys of Oakland.
Coach Kelly of the Santa Clara nine
says that by the time the big series
games with the universities are to be
played he will have fast bunch in
