lightweight Who Is to Fight
HyIand Friday Night Does
Impressive Stunts

Johnny F'rayne, the clever local lad
who hopes to make Dick HyIand a
stepping stone along his path to the
championship goal next Friday night at
the coliseum, is a true example OF a
lighting boxer. He possesses the bull
dog grit to go in and mix it, and at
the same time he brings into play the
skill which is necessary to win battles.
The promising young lightweight had
busy day at Millett's yesterday, where
he and Monte Attell were preparing
for the contests which the Mission club
will stage next Friday night Frayne
was the center of attraction as he
boxed. Attell was without q sparring
partner and did not put on the gloves.
Frayne's gymnasium work is OF the
spectacular order. A full house saw
him go through his boxing stunt yes
speed he displayed. He took on One
Round Hogan for three spasms. Hogan.
who is lightweight who has won his
title by dattening a number OF oppo-
nents m a round, is a tough customer
who Is always willing to mix it. and
he proved a good man for Frayne to
show his merit.
1t is a good thing the gloves were of
the pillow size, as the boxers let fly
blows which had hattening effect
Frayne's display of speed was roundly
cheered by the spectators.
After finishing with Hogan Johnny
LOTUS, who was a capable performer
a few years ago, went on with Frayne
for three rounds. LOTUS is purely a
boxer and the two boys put up a fin
ished exhibition. At the conclusion OF
his boxing Frayne skipped the rope
and finished up with the usual gymna-
SUM work
Monte AttelI is without a sparring
partner because the boys of his size
whom he had hired had quit their lob
because the little Hebrew hit too hard
in his sparring bouts.
Monte has had two boys with him.
but they have quit him after a DAYS
employment However, he Is keeping in
shape on the road and around the gym
nasium. He will try to secure
sparring partner today to help him out.
He realizes that in Cove he will face
one of the hardest men he has met
In his career, and he believes that he
Will have to be on edge to win.

Coast Tennis
Players Rest
For Big Game
viii Be Refreshed When They
Meet National Champions
at Newport
By GRANT SMITH

Last week was week of rest for the
FIVE coast tennis players who have
been performing in the east for the
last month. They participated in no
scheduled events, combining themselves
to light practice. They had originally
planned to participate in the invita-
tional tournament at Southampton, but
stayed out to rest up for next. week
events. This event is a workout for
the national singles tournament, which
follows it closely.
Most of the players who figure to
have. a chance at Newport played in
the Southampton event, but the coast
players, after three hard weeks. de-
cided that a rest would fit them better
than a tournament Their decision
looks like a wise one. as they are un-
used to the eastern heat and, although
good stayers all of them, they did we'll
to conserve their strength.
The visiting players have met most
of the championship candidates and
ought to be ready for most any style
of play when the big event begins.
The beating Long received at the
hands of Little will do the coast cham
pion world of good He was having
such an easy time that he was in
clined to hold the eastern cracks too
lightly. Easy victories over such play
ers as Emerson and Behr no doubt put
him off his guard and account in a.
measure for his miserable showing
againt Little. The latter is a brilliant
but cratic player. AT times he plays
a game second to none, and then again
his form is only fair. He must have
had one of his good days against Long.
While 1t looks as il Long hardly has.
class enough to dispose of the topnotch-
ers after his easy defeat at the hands.
of Little, still he may have been off
that day. The coast champion and Nc
Loughlfn must be conceded an outside
chance at any rate. They ought to be
pretty we'll used to the heat and grass
courts by now, and If they play up to
their Chicago form should at least
prove contenders.
Subsequent to his defeat of Long in
straight sets Little lost set TO Bundy
In practice, and for this reason it looks
as if Mclaughlin and Long might take
the winner of the New York state tour.
nament into camp should either one go
up against him. Little is probably as
formidable as any Of the fasteners,

The national singles tournament will
begin Wednesday. All five of the coast
players will participate in this event.
classed and little is expected OF them.
The hopes of tennis followers in this
state will center in Long and McLough-
lin. Bundy, on account of his victory
over Mclaughlin in the western tour
nament, is expected to make a good
showing and is conceded an outside
chance

Seals and Angels
Even on the Day
Afternoon Game a Pitchers Battle, in Which
Nagle Outlasts Browning
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

Los ANGELES, Aug. 15.-In two red
hot sessions the Seals and the Angels
divided honors in today's play, the
Mohler men winning the morning game
BIZ score of to 4. and the Angels
taking the afternoon play by score
of l to 0.
Sixty-five hundred persons crowded
the Chutes park, in the sunset session
and saw the fastest, most brilliant play
of the series. Maggie and Browning, the
opponents in that famous 10 inning
contest, were the pitchers, and the
Angel veteran outtwirled his adversary.
Doubles by Delmas and orendorff in
the ninth inning with two men out and
bases empty broke Browning's winning
streak and prevented him from scoring
the seventeenth straight victory. Per-
feet support was given Nagle. Zeider
made the only error for the Seals, but
played a spectacular game.
Ten errors back of Howard, a young
busher, lost the morning game to the
locals. Henley was hit freely, but kept
bingles scattered, and the Seals were
never headed. Home runs were made
by Henley and Bodie. Score:

Sacramento 4. OakIand 3

The teams played their third 10 in
ming game in a row on the Oakland
grounds in the morning and the Sena-
tors got away with il. TO 3. after
both teams had been guilty Of many
bushy plays, which were responsible for
most Of the runs. The pitchers worked
we'll but the men behind them never
seemed TO be there at the critical mo-
ments, and thus the game took on a
ragged edge when il should have been
q clean cut exhibition.
Oakland started with one in the first
frame and the Senators tied it up in the
third All went well till the sixth,
when, with two on the bases and as
many out OF the way, Myers made a
bad throw which went into right field,
and two Of the transbay runners can
tered home
Sacramento's next good chance came
in the eighth when two timely bingles
and boot by Cameron brought two
men home and the score was tie for
the second time. Then Boice was re-
placed by Tonneson and they started in
all over again, with. hOnors even up all
around.
Sacramento saved all its fighting
qualifications for the tenth inning, and
BY q mighty effort, slipped run over.
This was the anal one. for Baum, who
was getting better all the time, retired
the Oaks quickly in their half OF the
round Score.

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 15.-Newport
will occupy the center of the stage in
tennis this week and the national
championship in doubles and singles
will be started Tuesday. The Pacific
coast association for the first time
sends along five of the best players
in the far west, two of whom will
play in the challenge match against
Hackett and Alexander for the doubles
title. This match will open the meeting.
Maurice e. Mclaughlin and George
j. James, the Pacific coast champions.
defeated the eastern champion team de-
cisively, and those who saw this match
say that Niles and Dabney never played
a better double match in their lives
than they did against them. McLough-
lin has not by any means reached the
zenith of his game. In fact he has
a lot to learn. He has the strokes,
but lacks command of them. McLough-
lin is a most dangerous player overhead
and it doesn't matter what comes to

After Morning
Setback Oaks
Land Victory
Lively Batting Rally in Eighth
Inning OvercOmes Lead
of Senators
By WILLIAM ]. SLATTERY

The final double header of the series
yesterday between the Commuters and
the Senator'S was just like the entire
series and most OF the games, a tight
one 1t took 10 Innings to put the men
from Sacramento out IN front during
the morning struggle across the bay,
and in the afternoon Oakland fought
an uphill battle and finally managed to
land with run TO spare. The Sena-
tors failed TO come on from behind
as they usually do. and strange to say,
the Oaks exhibited far more gameness.
Thus the cut was switched all around
10 the surprise of the fans.
The series goes TO Sacramento. four
games out OF seven. Though neither
club is up in the race and neither has
much 10 gain, both of them played a
quality OF ball during the week that
would have gone for a leader or a
team fighting for the lead. They were
evenly matched in every department of
the game and the big crowds which
turned out during the six days is the
best evidence that the brand of ball
was good 10 gaze upon.
Oakland saved its honor with a splen-
did rally IN the eighth spasm Of the
afternoon game. At that time the
Senator's had the lead, TO 2, and the
wise ones were deciding it over with
out further ceremony until Duffey
Lewis smashed one out to center and
sprinted around to xIlird on the slow
bounder, which got through Raymer.
Cameron Immediately responded with
double 10 the center field fence. and
Lewis tore home. making it a deadlock.
The grounds were comfortably
packed with about $500 fans, it being
& remarkably large crowd, considering
the attraction. The feeling seemed to
be about evenly divided between the
two clubs. though Oakland had an
edge II there was any discrimination.
