Meredith thought very tenderly of jimmy Grant

mento, fighting for third place in the
Coast league pennant race, battled

playing each other to a standstill. TIE
game was called with a score 1-all
when darkness settled down on the
field, and Umpire McGreevy motioned
the players to the benches and an
nounced the suspension of hostilities
because of the difficulty of fielding the
ball in the gathering gloom.
For thirteen innings not a runner of
either team concluded the circuit Sac
ramento pounded Graney hard and
many tight situation was saved by
the superb fielding of the locals. Thir-
teen of the Beavers were stranded on
the bags at various times during the
game, and the Beaver pitcher con-
trived to leave eighteen of the Sena-
torial staff on bases with third out.
Fitzgerald was hit early and often, but
kept the hits well scattered.
1t was due only to the tremendous
slugging ability of the Portland leader,
Ote Johnson, that the Capital city team
failed to win the game in the four
teenth. An error by Shortstop Olson,
sacrifice, passed ball by Fisher and
fielders choice sent Jimmy Shinn in for
the only run made by the Sacrament
tans, and with the score 1 to 0, Port
land came up in the last of the four
tenth almost staring defeat In the
face. Ote Johnson landed on the ball
with a terrific drive, slamming the
sphere out to right field and over the
fence for the tying tally. Thereafter
the two teams struggled along for four
more innings, and the end of the game
found them still embattled with the
score even up.
Numerous double plays, spectacular
brilliant fielding and a plentftude of
hitting gave the contest every aspect
of the sensational. The game proceeded
for three hours and forty minutes, pro-
longed by much hitting, fast base run
ming and ten sacrifice hits. Fitzgerald
and Graney lasted throughout, and
every man on both teams hal a chance
to better his fielding average. The sig

as sure of following of the curious
and the hero worshipers of the ring as
is the Great Formerly-Retired Unde-
feated himself. This announcement OF
the staging of the ten-round bout with
Ad >Wolgast for Maud Junction the
evening of July 10, has caused Nelson
to become of great momentary and per-
sonal interest to the local fans, who
have not seen the champion in action
since he won the title from Joe Cans
in that famous Fourth of July contest.
1t was on February 4, 1908. that Nelson
appeared in the ring last in the City of
the Angels, when he met Rude the
Lemonized Boer at the no decision
route at Maud.
This little recital is hereby labeled
before the reader passes along. 1t is
an appreciation of the untiring efforts
of one of the most faithful and eff
cient umpires the league which holds
up organized ball on the Pacific coast
has seen in many years-Jimmy To-
man. Time was when the bleachers
were wont to remark that an old time
player could not make a success of
umpiring in a league and with teams
in which he once played, especially If
those teams contained some of his for
mer mates. Jimmy Toman this year
has given the lie to this statement,
and has done so in a manner that has
gained him a host of staunch friends
among the players over whom he has
control during the games in which he
officiates.
Toman left the Coast league playing
ranks with the reputation of having
been one of the best shortstops ever
stationed on a Coast league team. He
also has the reputation of being IL
thorough gentleman and faithful
player. But Toman was growing old
for active service in his profession and
when he was urged by his friends to
don the mask and the suit of blue he
aceeded to the numerous requests and
applied for the position. There was a
little doubt when his name was mem
toned, for that old feeling that as a
former coaster he might find hesitancy
in enforcing the rules strictly, again
cropped out. But Toman bravely
CARRIED himself in breast protector and
mask for the first time in his career,
entered the diamond with confidence,
and has made an enviable record as an
indicator man. He has shown himself
accurate on balls and strikes to SUR
prising degree. He has been quick on
his feet in handling base decisions and
seldom has gone wrong on verdict.
He has displayed a sense of justice and
firmness on the field that has been
SIdlSIully dCCSplSu ny LuOSe ldHS WIZ
delight in seeing game proceed in
orderly fashion and with absence of
wrangling. Toman. in a word, has
| made good. No umpire is always
right. They admit mistakes. And on
the other hand their critics are some
times in the wrong as well. Toman's
errors have been few and far between
and all along the stormy path of the
umpire he has stepped firmly and
quietly, filling his position in worthy
manner. Here's hoping Toman stays
on the job for many a season.

COACH GORTON WILL
STAY AT OCCIDENTAL
Decision of Athletic Leader to Remain
in Charge Causes General Jubi-
lation Among Members of
Student Body

Coach Gorton of Occidental has
signed a contract for another years
work at the Presbyterian institution
and as a result there is rejoicing in
the tiger ranks today, as the coach
has kept the entire student body up
in the air for nearly a month. In >ac-
cepting the Occidental berth for an
other season Mr.. Gorton turns down
several good eastern positions which
have been offered him since he left
that section last fall. Colgate has
been trying to get him for several
months.
Gorton was seriously handicapped
in the last football season by the fact
that Occidental had the poorest ma
terial in many a year, and consider
ing this fact, he did exceedingly well
in turning out a team which was a
contender for the championship and
which held the heavy Sherman Indians
to to score on a wet field. At the
opening of this years school term
Coach Gorton will have almost all of
last years trained veterans, and in adj
dition many new men who have signi-
fed their intention of entering Occi-
dental
Gorton will also coach all the other
branches of athletics as last year. He
is popular with the Occidental student
body because of his persistent uphill
battles in athletics.
