The San Francisco call., 1909-05-05
By William J. Slaffery

Commander Happy Hogan turned his
Vernon colts loose on the Oakland pas
ture for the first time In their lives
Yesterday afternoon and they made
good for him with IL inning l to 0
victory. There should have been SEN
sations enough crowded into the game
to hold every fan for month, but in
stead the contest abounded in bone
headed plays and slow fielding stunts
which would have. made a gang OF
rubes hide In their native brush. Ball
players rightfully ought to have been
ashamed to commit some OF the crimes
against the diamond that were charged
against both sides.
After awakening to the realization
Of the fac. that he woua be to sase
the day Commander Hogan opened up
the twelfth and deciding round with a
rollicking double along the right neid
but Stovall flied out to La Longe and
il looked bad for Happy till George
Hsley met one on the beak ana dis
patched II to deep center for two
bases. This was the run and the
game.
The way Vernon cheated herself out
of runs was awful agonizing. In fact,
and never equaied on any mans dia-
mond For instance, Hogan opened up
the ninth with q fine three cushion
bird into the left field. The next three
men-IIitt, Stovall and Haley-aH per
ishcd while their brave captain howled
and belohed from his near home post.
Caffyn led OFF with double in the
eleventh and IL was the same old tale
again. It's hard to beat that kind of
baseball.
Cameron tossed the game off for
Oakland in the second Inning He
started nicely with a single to left and
then very politely played off the bag
far enough TO allow HIT to catch him
posing by 10 feet. Scarcely had this
bone neaded play been pulled off than
Dtffey Lewis came on with double.
oh. it was fine and daisy work for
an able bodied man.
The fans will have to give It to
both HIT and Wigs for pitching
grand baseball, though Hit is entitled
10 most OF the honor or the credit or
the glory or whatever the victory is
ella sxad as. The best Oakland did
aRaiY1st him was three hits. Two of
these came In the second and one in
the fifth. and outside of these there
was nothing like a bingle chalked up
against the southpaw.
From the way they played Dali yes
terday the Vernon stars will have to
depend upon their ability to knock the
cover OFF the ball in order to cope
with teams like San Francisco and Sac
ramento The felders are slow in ac-
tion and when they get on the bases
thew act like flock OF salmon trout.
There's no dash or ginger to the work
at all. The score:

Portola Club Signs Up a
Good Looking Card

The Portola club makes its debut in
the amateur boxing game with crack
erjack card next Tuesday night. While
only one title, that of the bantam
weight championship, hangs in the bal
ance, the remainder of the card Is a
likely one. Eddie Marion and Louis
Hahn fight again. Marion is anxious
to wipe out the hair line decision which
the fighting carnan gained over him at
the car barn recently, and their three
round session should be replete with
action.
Eddie Campi and Frankie Burke, the
whirlwind bantams, will clash for the
bantam weight championship. Tony
Silva and George Andrews are on the
card for a fight that looks even. For
the heavies the club has signed w.
Monohon and Lou Rushing, As there
is much rivalry among the big fellows
In the amateur ranks. this bout Will
be watched with interest.

Ketchel to Go Six Rounds
With MCGann

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 4.-Stanley
Ketchel will, on May 1s. meet Hugh
McGann, formerly of Kansas City. here
in a six round bout. The papers were
signed tonight by Manager Jimmy
Dime of the National athletic club Of
Pittsburg. The National club has been
after Ketchel for some time, but he has
held out for a $4,000 guarantee In
Pittsburg and it is understood tonight
that il has been guaranteed him.
The fight is expected to open up the
game in Pittsburg, which has never
had a fight OF so large caliber, owing
to the state law against f1ghting and
the fact that giving a decision is not
permitted.
McGann has been in Pittsburg some
time, appearing here several weeks
since as an unknown in a fight with
a local man, whom he could have put
out at any time. Later McGann made
himself known to the promoters OF the
National athletic club and the. bout
with Ketchel has been the outcome.
