The Stockton bunch made Captain
Nealon's men go 10 innings before they
would admit defeat yesterday at the
Grove street park, Oakland, and Pitcher
Bloomfield, who succeeded Doc Moski-
man on the mound after the third
frame, sealed the package for him
self by lining out a triple in the tenth
round and scoring the winning run.
1t was real baseball all the way. and
the players on both sides let out all
wraps. Up to the eighth inning it
looked as if the Slough City bunch
were going to annex another game. as
they had two runs in the lead and

crew However, they were in the game
all the time, and went after Clark

up for three hits, which netted two
runs. This tied the score. which
forced the boys to go through the
ninth and tenth innings.
Bloomfield did the big thing in the
tenth by opening with a three base
hit. Clark filled the bases by passing
the next two men and took a chance
with Sheehan, but Tommy placed one
in back of the third baseman. which
brought Bloomfield home The score:

Looking back on the record of what
happened Oakland was fortunate to

saved its one remaining speck of honor.
The main obstacle in>the path of the
Commuters was Jesse Garrett and his

young man has the saliva working the

working right yesterday beyond the

MISSIONlTES WANT
JOHNSON AND
KAUFMAN
Big Fellows Receive Fat Offer
to Fight Here Next
Month

If Jack Johnson and Al Kaufman are
willing to say the word San Francisco
viii witness heavy weight champion
ship battle between the big fellows
next month. Last night Match Maker
Sidney Hester of the Mission club wired
the big black champ and the big Cali
forr1ia blacksmith an offer of 65 per
cent of the gross receipts to come to
this city and settle their championship
dispute. Hester is patiently awaiting
favorable reply and he has reason to
believe he will land the match.
Since Johnson came out with the
statement the other day that he would
fight Kaufman before thinking of TAX
ing on any other man in the heavy
weight ranks, the Mission club con-
cluded that the best thing it could do
would be to start early and endeavor
TO get in on the ground floor. If there
is any chance to make the match the
energetic young fellows behind the new
club should succeed. They will leave
nothing undone to bring the match 10
this city. If the fighters mean business
they will be accommodated
we want to pull off a big fight here
next MONTH said Hester last night.
we are willing TO give Johnson and
Kaufman 65 per cent of the gross re-
celpts, which is a lot of money, for this
light should be record breaker Now
that Billy Delaney has consented TO
allow Kaufman to fight johnson. and
now that johnson has come out with
the statement that he will fight Kauf-
man first, 1 look upon our chances as
bright
I'VE will stage this match in the Col
lseum il We land it. L think that we
can show these big fellows. where they
can get more money than they ever
got before in their lives We will be
ready to post our forfeit just as soon
as the big fellows give US their word
that they will come out and fight next
month";
The Mission club got off to a fine
start two months ago when it promoted
its first card at Dreamland rink The
club filled Dreamland rink and drew
more money there than any other pro-
moters were able TO draw up to that
time. Now the Mission magnates are
ambitious and anxious to pull off a big
championship match that will make
them famous.

Coushatta merchants get busy and offer
what assistance they can to the Shreve-
port merchants to get the line of steam
boats in Red river? 1t is such small
towns as Cousl,atta along the river that
suffer the most from the high freight
rates charge by the railroads and that
would benefit the most i'll proportion by
having competing boat line. If the
proper encouragement was offered at
this time a line of three boats to ply
between Shreveport and New Orleans
could be secured Let us offer an en-
couraging word at least.
