Captain Hogan Is Ordered Out OF
Game for Tobasco Argument with
Umpire Toman-Fast Field
ing Exhibited
San Francisco, a; Vernon, 2.

In one of the scrappiest and best
games of the present series San Fran
cisco trimmed the Hoganites yesterday
afternoon at Chutes park, jumping into
the lead through punched hits in the
sixth inning and managing to stay
there. The use of the term scrappy is
merely suggestive of the fact that the
two teams were fighting it out nose ana
nose all the way There was a little
lively fitting between Happy Hogan
and Umpire Jimmy Toman, it is true,
and the game was suspended for few
minutes while Toman walked over to
the Vernon bench, told Happy his fam
ily history, and finally ordered him of
the field.
Needless to say, Hap's retirement
was covered by a flank fire of strong
talk, and when the gate finally banged,
shutting out the devoted Vernon chief
tain from his che-ildren, the stocky
little Jrishman who handles the lndl-
Gator stood glaring at his adversary
and Hogan, the other Irishman, spoke
several little pieces from vantage
point in the right field bleachers
Aside from this incident, there were
enough differences between Toman and
the assem- bIage of spectators regarding
his decisions to keep things at fever
heat. Twice the former Angel short
stop called down the wrath of the
bIeacher gods on his head, and from the
second disapproval until the last ball
was nitched the crowd refused to let

ever see an Irishman who didn't Just
dote on criticism, especially If ne thllhs
he is right?

Third Days Program of Contests
Under Auspices of Los Angeles
Harness Association Brings
Out Good Sport

The third days racing of the Los An
geles Harness Horse association brought
out a smaller attendance than in the
previous days. The fastest time of the
afternoon was in the 2:O7 pacing class
and six of the speediest horses from
Southern and Northern California We're
entered in this event.
The second race for the Canfield stake
for 2-year-old trotters brought to the
starting point a promising bunch OF
youngsters, and some lively stepping
ensued.
The last race of the afternoons sport
was the 2:20 matinee pace.
In the 2:07 pace Delilah easily won
her heats, finishing at the wire first in
all three. The feature of this race was
the drive Bonnell gave his charge after
a break in the third heat, when the
horse fell back a bad last. and by the
use of the whip Delilah stepped the last
three-quarters in 1885,, and the last
half in 1903 defeating Josephine in the
stretch half a length to the wire.
Nothing of a startling nature devel-
open in the Garfield trotting race,
which was won by Donasham in both
heats. the time being 2:31 and 2:29.
In the 2:20 matinee event Lucy Coin
led to the quarter with Bernie Wilkes
in the rear by three lengths. Both
horses kept the same position at the
half. Lucy Coin entered the stretch
fast, taking the lead, which was held
to the wire, winning from the Denker
entry by two lengths. In the second
heat Lucy Coin broke after leaving the
post, Bernie Wilkes taking the lead al
the quarter pole Major Clifford a close
| second. In the stretch Major Preston
was passed by Lucy Coin and led in
the final lap to the judges stand.
In the final heat Wilkes was in the
lead at the quarter by two lengths, with
Honest John in the same position. Ma
jor Clifford broke, thereby losing his
stride on the upper turn. Lucy Coin
took the lead and entered the stretch
in a burst of speed and finished under
the tape by three lengths, with Honest
John second and Bernie Wilkes third.

Sixth Is Disastrous

Skipping the fifth, in which 10th
sides got a couple Of goose eggs on the
score sheet, we now come to the tale
of the terrible sixth. In this inning
Pitcher Raleigh, who up to this time
had sustained his reputation as the
most dangerous pitcher in the Vernon
staff, had been holding the northern
ers down to scanty hits, doing little
damage. But the Seals found their hit
ting eye all of a sudden, and in a
twinkling victory had been turned to
defeat. Mohler singled to center Bo-
die repeated and Melchoir singled in
field, thus completing the occupancy
of the three stations. ]. Williams
thereupon banged out hard single to
left bringing in Mohler and Bodie,
though the latter was out by foot.
He was called safe at the plate, how
ever, and the score stood to 2 in ia
vor of the visitors. Williams chased
TO second on the throw in of the play
and Melchoir to third, the latter scor-
ing on Berrys long fly to right.
The Vernonites could not bring about
a ninth inning rally. and thus the
game was again checked up for the
league leaders. The detailed results:
Los Angeles herald., 1909-07-17

Pitcher Henley, the hero of the
twenty-four inning game at san Fran
cisco, did the box work for the north
erners, and though he walked three
he allowed only four hits. This kind
of twirling with fair support will win
almost any kind of game.

Truck Eagan's Homer

Truck Eagans beautifully spanke1
out home run in the first inning, which
brought in the only scores made by the
Vernonites during the day, was the
particular playing feature. 1t was well
and gallantly done Sovall had land
ed on first with hard high single into
short center He shot along to second
and secured a stolen base, and then
Fagan swung truly and nightly, the
ball rounding over the center field bar
rier for one of the longest hits of the
year and bringing the two suburban
ties all the way around. This placed
them in the lead
In the fourth came the tobasco stuff,
and thereafter the game lacked not
for the enlivening ginger. Bodie hit
out a long one to right field. 1t scared
away out toward the foul line and out
of sight of the grandstand, and Toman,
who was standing on the plate, called
it fair. Everybody within the limits
of the Chutes diamond disagreed with
him, and Happy, of course. tore loose.
He fairly ragged when 'Bodie secured a
triple on it, and when he scored on 4
wild pitch Happys long suffering tenn
per ran away with him and he talked
so braveIy to Toman that his jumps
ordered him out Of the game, Kinkel
replacing him.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-07-17

Kitty Brashear made a beautiful
first in the third inning, and tossed the
ball back-handed to Raleigh, complet-
ing the out. II was one Of the neatest
plays seen at the initial sack this year.

Question Now Is Whether Congress

| islatures in favor of an amendment tC
the federal constitution providing fol
the election of senators by direct vote
Thirty-one states compose the num-

constitution for the calling of a con

Thirty-one states-the constitutional
two-thirds-havec carried out the spirit
of the prescribed call for amendment,
whether or no they have as a whole
adhered to the strict letter of the pro
vision for securing a change in the or
ganic law.
Will congress at its coming session
heed the call? The query is pertinent
to a presentation of facts, which hith-
erto seemed to have been overlooked
in their fullness even by those who
election propaganda.
Technically Only 20.
Technically, only 2G states have ap-
piled to congress for the calling of a

obtainable here, have expressed the
underlying desire which is contained in
the formal demand of the others by
adopting resolutions urging the sub
mission of an amendment of the di

In other words, two-thirds of the states

be made to feel the moral obligation OF
presenting the opportunity for three
fourths of the states to say whether
an amendment to the constitution ia
vored by an overwhelming popular
sentiment shall be ratified?
Have Grown Lax.
Possibly because there is no prece-
dent for the submission of amend

states, laxity has resulted in the phas-
ing of the resolutions which legisla-

their desire All of the amendments
thus far proposed for adoption have
been submitted by resolution of con-
gress and ratification has been in
every instance by state legislatures in
