LOCOS LOSE LEAD
 DIRECTORS DECIDE
Factory League Like Industrial League
 Decides Pennant in Parlor Session

It's awful to be the leader, no mat ter what league you are a member Of. The Yosts were the leaders in the Iu- dustrial League for time, but prob able cause of a flimsy nature was found against them and they were obliged, to loose five games which vir- tually Sput them out of the running, as to win the pennant, should they re- main in the organization, they would be obliged to win every contest.
 Now comes the Factory League. The Locomobile team were the leaders all season, winning the majority of their contests, until a. few weeks ago, when through the loss of their best players they began to lose games. Still the lead they had enjoyed was quite com fortable, and about enough to place them winners. The league season ended last Saturday and found the Locos and the Birdsey-Somers team tied for first place. Last evening the directors held one of these trouble some electric light sessions, and heard against the Loco team for using Pitcher O'Gara in the game of July 31st. Think of it, a game played over a month ago and protested only last evening. The directors declared the game forfeited to the Batcheller club, though the Locos won the contest Ill. It was brought out at the meeting that Pitcher O'Gara did not work at the Loco factory during the latter part of July, though he was an enploye before and after.
 Now that Batcheller and Birdsey- Somers are in @ tie, the niX-up will be played at Seaside Park tomorrow. The standing of the clubs as arranged last evening follows:

son might make a good monologue man in a minstrel show, for he spent most of the time he was supposed to be attending to his knitting in 'kid- ding the witnesses, not whipping Kaufman
 Kaufman, on the other hand, was absolutely powerless, landing by act ual count, five blows on the giant black.
 The fight fans evidently knew what to expect, for there was only a cor poraPsi guard in attendance, and be- fore the ten rounds were over a ma jority of them, disgusted, had left. Those who remained spent their time jeering the fighters. Johnson showed no evidence of having trained at all for the go.
 By Igoe.
 Once more Jack Johnson has got by a tough customer through his ability to merely cuff the ears of his adver- sary and when pressed, to fall back on a system of defensive boxing that no big man of the ring ever equaled. It was like handing Johnson his end of the money on a silver platter. At the outset, Kaufman seemed to have one chance in a hundred of landing a wallop/ on Johnson's golden smile" After they had made a few passes AIS chances drifted into the 1000 to class.
 A long fight would have been an- other story. Artha was clearly blown at the end. It was the natural result of his recent gay living. But John son is a big dusky fox. He knew that he could go ten rounds with any man alive, and he made good. Kauf man is wiser man now and all of old Billy Delaneys warnings came true. His chance lay in a mill of Marathon length. Easy come and easy go with Johnson nowadays.

Semi Professional Baseball

Manager Ed Lynch of the Yost team has arranged for a game tomorrow at Yost field with the strong Seymour club. contest to be called at 3:30 o'clock The manager of the Sey- mours has promised to send down his strongest team with two of the best semi-professional pitchers in the State. Weeks and Gorham. Their backstop, Maioney, is also a catcher of repute, a. number of the State League clubs having often tried to secure his ser vices. Either White or Johnson will pitch for the Yosts, with Wilson on the receiving end. The lineup of the Seymours follows: Leyden, of; Ma loney, c; Weeks aud Gorhan, p; Deaty, 1b; Weislegel, If; O'Donnell 3b; John- son, 2b: Bochardt, ss; and Grywacy, If.

FIGHT WAS
 BIG FARCE
Such as it Was Johnson
 Lead on Points.
In Two Rounds When Kauf= man Showed Some Life the Negro Took to the Defensive.
UNOFFICIAL STATEMENT
 By Referee Ed. Smith.

Johnson boxed wonderful ten
 rounds, and went along and took
 no chances, and, I guess, boxed at
 his natural gait. He got weak to-
 ward the close, and do not know
 whether it was from the body
 punches or the pace. He certain
 ly outboXed Kaufman in every
 way. Kaufman's best rounds were
 the seventh and ninth. He forced
 Johnson in those rounds, and John
 son did not fight back.
 San Francisco, Sept. 10.-That Al Kaufman will not do for a short fight and that Jack Johnson has begun to treat the fight game as joke, is the belief today of the handful of fight fans who witnessed what was sup posed to have been a ten-round bat tie between the pugs at Coffroth's S arena yesteNday afternoon, but which was a farce from the beginning.

 Dutch" Richards looks good for the outfielders cup Both Hammer of gers are above him in the average but they have not played the requisite number of games. The league rules say that an outfielder must partici- pate in at least 15 games as an out fielder and not as an fnfie1der or a pitcher. Steinmetz has been in over 15 games but during that time has been a pitcher, during which time his averages will not count.
 Notice that "Chucky'' Franz is not playing catch any more? Wise young at least ten games to be eligible for a cup. As it now stands "Chucky'' has played in ten games and has all the other backstops wiped off the map That's the reason he plays other posi- tions, as in playing catch his average might be lowered.
 An injustice has been done Shorty Ellwood of the Crane No. 2 team in the statement that he quits the game so that his batting might be above the others. Ellwood, if records speak rightly, has left but one game while the contest was in progress. The idea must have been given to the press by against Ellw6od. Shorty should be given credit for his work this season, which is first class. Last year he was not much above the ordinary run Of players, but matured this season. The Holmes & Edwards crew has not won a single contest since their have played in some remarkable games their pitchers being of the first wa ter.
