TWELVE RUNS IN
ONE INNING
HOORAY!
ST. JOSeph's Sensational Rally
Wins Opening Game From
ST. Peters School
By viii Scarlet

The baseball tournament of the
Catholic schools athletic league started
off yesterday afternoon with bang
and an eclat that must have sent
thrill of delight up the backs of the
enthusiasts who have fathered the ath-
letic activities of the local Catholic
schools. St Joseph's team defeated the
nine from St Peters school in game
replete with surprises and sensational
playing.
The score was 13 to 7, but the bald
score tells nothing of the sensational
quality of the game. of the splendid
showing made BY both teams. of the
game front put up by the vatican
youths in the face of certain defeat.
The St. Peters lads got busy early in
the game and managed to pile up Z
runs to their opponents solitary tally
OF course the vatican rooterS broke
loose. 1t was the Missions game, all
right, and Tenth street was nowhere
But Tenth street kept lighting.
Its costly panic over, St Joseph's set
tied down to a stubborn season, and
prevented the vatican slabsters from
doing any more damage.
In the seventh frame came the melo-
uTdnldIlC CIlIldA OF d SdIlic Luil VI Tic
atrical effects The St Joseph's boys
began connecting with Merrilrs curves
and filled the bases in three shakes.
Thornton knocked out two bagger,
scoring everybody but himself, and
Gantner, Ryan and Collins banged out
safe hits in such rapid fire fashion that
the vatican players went up in the air
and stayed there until the Josephites
had scored Il runs.
The remainder of the game was char
acterized by big league playing on both
sides. The st. Peters folks showed
their mettle, but failed to overcome the
big lead of their opponents.
What gave the Tenth street people
their lucky streak? The small boys
say it was the timely entrance of
Father Mulligan. pastor of st. Joseph's
church. He arrived at what might be
called the psychological smoment. What
are they all shouting about| the priest
asked an interested spectator. They're
all cheering" came the reply, because
your boys have just tied the score"
And then Father Mulligan joined the
rooters.
1t is only fair to say, on behalf of
the vatican contingent, that two of ST.

The next game of the San Francisco

STANDING OF THE CLUBS
By William J. SIattery

The proud and naughty Los Angeles
baseball champions showed themselves
on the Oakland lot yesterday afternoon
for the first time this season and, in
cidentauy. they got the crusher, 3 to O.,
from the Seals.
The big victory was due almost en-
tirely TO the grand pitching OF Slivers
Henley The tail lad from the capital
city never pitched d better game in his
life He had everything that pitcher
needs and he was not at all afraid to
cut loose wiki his assortment. In fact,
he continued a rapid fire line Of stuff
throughout and the Angels never came
within whistling distance of the plate.
They welc lucky 10 be in the game.
The big blQwom came in the third
spasm. when the Seals went for their
three runs. Berry. the first man up,
got a single and McArdle bunted him
on his way After Henley had been
disposed of. Mohler waited for four
wide ones and Zeidcr Immediately
slammed the bail 10 the farthest cor
ner Of the field foul line. chasing both
men in ahead Of him.
This crumbled the Angels up, and
wien " lllldllS started a inner 70 Del
mas. the southern shOrtstOp booted it.
This put Zeider on third and he inn
mediately got away with q pretty play.
He started TO steal home and then ran
back to third. After drawing the throw
a second time. he tore for the plate
and cleverly slid in under Orendorff.
Williams Ia the meantime attempted to
set 10 second. but he perished.
The Seals came dangerously near
putting "a few more runs across on the
southerners during the remaining
periods Of the game. but fast fielding
by The Angels and hard luck hitting
by the home team cut them of. The
Seals managed 10 land on Nagle hard
throughout and had some of their bin
giles been punched a little more he
would have been very badly beaten.
The Angel lineup does not look quite
SO strong as il did last year. though it
is rather early 10 start any criticism.
The new men, Daily. OrendOrff and
Thompson. all showed UP fairly well,
though they did not appear 10 be the

AL KAUFMAN WINS,
But JOHNSON
LAUGHS
Champion Not Impressed With
CaIfOFnian'S Defeat of
Tony Ross

NEW YORK, April 13.-Al Kaufman
of San Francisco. who aspires to
heavy weight championship fstic hon
ors. met and defeated on points Toni
Ross of Newcastle in a ten round fight
tonight
Jack Johnson. the worlds champion
heavy weight pugilist. was at the ring
side and laughed at the efforts of the
men, apparently feeling satisfied that
no danger threatened his title from this
most earnest seeker for champion
ship bout
kaufman, according to experts at
the ringside did not show that he is in
the class Of the big negro.
Jim Coffroth of Colma, Cal, was a
spectator. He had nothing TO say about
the outcome of the bout, but he said
that while he had no signatures to the
contract, he was sure he would Sc
cure a match between johnson and
Ketchel TO take place some time after
the first of October.
No time was lost in getting the men
together. and Kaufman showed quick
ly by left jabs and a handy right that
he had taken Ross measure. Kauf-
man was cool and deliberate. al
most measuring his blows. but the
only telling blow Ross sent back was
a right swing on the side of the head.
The first round was easily Kaufman's.
In the second round Kaufman
rushed. but was stopped by three lefts
which drew blood from the nose. Ross
butted toward the end OF the round,
but kaufman was master of the round
by a small margin. The third round
found Ross willing and forcing the
issue He sent two rights to the head,
getting bad blows in return and a
hard left to the face, which made the
blood spout again from his nose. Kauf-
man was by far the better general in
this round.
Lefts and rights to the face were
the blows with which kaufman opened
the fourth. Ross plugging for the
wind. but he took many blow on his
face, one of which split his lip. There
was no question of the Italians game
ness, but he was outpointed.
At close quarters in the first round
Kaufman had the better OF many eX-
changes. but Ross rushing with left
and right TO the head, forced the Cal
ifornian twice TO the ropes
Kaufman missed several blows in the
sixth, but in every clinch he was the
better punisher. In the seventh Kauf-
man led his left twice to the face, open
ing a cash over Ross eye. Kaufman
sent left. right and left in quick sue
cession to Ross face in the eighth
round, but he allowed the Italian too
much time to recuperate.
in the ninth round Kaufman de-
pended on left jabs to the face, and
then sent Ross to the floor for eight
seconds with a left hook to the jaw.
Ross came up weakly and soon was
staggered by a succession of right and
left smashes in the stomach.
Ross hugged at the beginning of the
tenth, taking many a punch before he
got in left smash on the face. Kauf-
man seemingly was unable to measure
his blows and was wild in his attempted
blows for a Knockout, but was the
stronger by far at the finish. winning
easily on points.
A supreme court Injunction granted
early today restraining Ross from
meeting Kaufman. did not interfere
with the arrangements of the manage
ment of the Fairmont athletic club.

RESULTS OF GAMES

The Fresno outlaws made their
debut at the Grove street park yes
terday by defeating san Francisco in a
ragged game. Charley Irwin's men
were off in their work and it was an
easy victory for the Raisin Growers.
The game was well played for five
innings, but in the sixth San Fran
the field and when the inning subsided
three runs had been put over without
the aid of a hit. Gray twirled for the
winners and Lane was on the mound
for the home crew Both of them were
effective until the final frame when
Lane eased up and allowed four hits.
In this inning Gray became wild and
issued several free passes.
Lane got himself in hole in the
sixth frame by walking the first two
men up. Gray and Bills were passed
to the initial station on four bad ones.
Tracy bunted one in front of the pan
ana Catcher Burke got his legs crossed
and heaved the sphere wildly to first.
Gray and Bills scored and Tracy came
home a moment later on a wild pitch
by Lane.
This lead infused a lot of courage
into Baby Doll Gray and he steamed
them over with increased velocity. His
offerings looked like a lot of peas to
the local aggregation and they could do
nothing with what he threw at them.
In the ninth Lane eased up and
Fresno found him for four hits, which
netted a like number of runs. Davis
was safe on Hallinan's error and i'm
mediateIy stole second. Regan hit
bringing home Davis. Regan scored
when Bailey hit to left field. Kuhn

through with a bingle two more am
bled home.
In the last inning Gray lost his bear
ings and it looked for a time as if he
would toss the game away. He passed
several men and with the aid of a slip
or two San Francisco put over three
runs without getting a hit. Captain
Kelley threatened to call for reinforce-
ments, but Gray got the next man and
the game was ended when Burke was
caught off second. Score follows:
