STANDING OF THE CLUBS
Coast Lenguel
RESULTS OF GAMES
By William, J. SIattery

The crowd at Recreation park all but
went daffy yesterday afternoon in the
fourth inning. Why, the noise and
cheering were something terrific, and
the whole Mission street police station
was getting ready for riot call. The
casual observer could not possibly have
figured what ii was all about, but the
wise ones of baseball understood. 1t
was run for Oakland. the first it had
registered for 33 innings. What mat
tered even if the game was lost. to 2?
The run was over and with il came the
happy thought that the unspeakable
jinks had taken runout powder.
Some of them were cruel enough to
grit their teeth when the Oaks man
aged to coax that tally over. but these
were the very severe sort of fans who
were hoping that Oakland would break
the worlds record for consecutive shut
outs. Wen, Oakland might have done
worse than that. for then the town
would be on the map, surely. Every
body would be buying dope books with
OakIand's name in them.
But those two runs, which the Com
muters managed TO sneak in after the
long and tedious wait, did not tend TO
dampen the batting spirit of the team
served as a sort of tonic for their lamps
and the way they tore after the trans
bay pitche was just a couple of points
short OF criminal. Nobody could figure
any team but Vernon in that race after
the opening inning. which was sort
Of feeler for the rest.
Jesse StoVan opened up the game
with a two sacker against the right
field fence. and Haley sacrificed. Bra
shear waited for a pass. after which
Caffyn dropped a Texas Lacquer back OF
second, registering Stovall Brash went
TO third on this one and he and Caffyn
pulled off a pretty double steal Two
runs right on the reel fine start
But there was no rest for poor Ton
neson. even after this unmerciful beat
ing. When the fourth rolled round,
Mott responded with a homer over the
right field fence. Then came two
sacker TO left from the bat of Kinkel,
d single by Coy and a long y by Sto-
vail which produced another. just for
right field fence in the lucky seventh.
Had ii not been for that fourth in
ming, Oakland might still be a runless
wonder team. McCay started the boys
on their way with a. double to center,
which Stovall misjudged. Then came
Duffy Lewis with another one and Car
roll with another one, which made II
two runs for Oakland. Now the ques-
tion is when viii be boys land again? :?
Coy, the Vernon southpaw, made his
bow on the local lot and pitched nice
baseball. He is little fellow. with a
lot of speed and fine twisters. Tonne
son did not have a thing when he
started, and was rousted after the final

BIG MOTOR BOATS
HOOK UP THIS
AFTERNOON
Konocf and General III Ready
for the First Champion
ship Contest

One of the most important motor
boat races that the west mas ever
known will take place this afternoon
at Sausalito between the far famed
speedster Konocti and the General ii, a
new craft which is looked upon as
one of the fastest of its kind. The
race will be the first of a series of three
and it is attracting widespread atten-
tion.
The start will be made from the
clubhouse of the San Francisco yacht
club promptly at 2:5O and will be a
dying one. The rival boats will race
around the southampton light and back
to the clubhouse. a distance of 10 miles
Both boats have gone over the course
many times in practice. and it is ex-
pected that the record will be broken
when they clash.
The Konocti is owned by Gray &
Holt, local lumber merchants. and -
looked upon as one of the finest boats
of its kind that has ever been launched
here. Last year it beat everythins
with which it came in contact and was
the ruling sensation in motor boat
circles. 1t is 40 feet long and is
equipped with a six cylinder Sterling
engine, 4 by bore and stroke
The General II is the property OF
Klune and Mitchell prominent sports
men of Sacramento. and is considered
very fast, making wonderful time in
the recent trial spurts. 1t is 80 fees
long and is fitted with a three cylinder
Smalley engine. ~ by AZ bore and
stroke. The General II is a rakish
looking craft and has never yet met
defeat.
The boat which wins two out of
three races of the series will be haile0
as the champion motor craft Of the
west. The second race will take place
at Sacramento a few weeks later ana
if a third and deciding contest is
necessary this will be put on at VAL
Iejo about the middle of June
Great rivalry exists between the
owners of the boats, and the interest
in the coming contest is felt in boating
and yachting circles all along the coast.
A big crowd will view the contest from
the clubhouse and from yachts and mo-
tor boats in Richardson's bay. Many
bets have been registered on the out
come of the speed test. II conditions
are favorable, it is very likely that the
record will be broken.
