Innings to Win After

Slip Hap Hogan's warriors the long
end of two scores. IN the morning yes
terday the villagers found Sacramen-
to easy picking, winning by an to 8
margin, but after lunch it took all Of
eleven innings and the best in the
locker to hand the tail enders to 0
trimming.
Willett and AreIlanes were the heroes
of. the post meridian fest, and 1t was
anybody's heat UP to the time Brown
slammed out the single that sent Roy
Brashear in with the only run of the
afternoon. Poor generalship deprived
the Villagers of a couple of chances to
end it earlier, and the Senators were
not there with the club when they
pushed a man as far around as the far
corner.
After the teams had battled through
the first part of the ninth without a
single bell ringer, it looked very much
like Vernon in the fading section oil
the frame, and the first real excitement
of the day was on tap. The fans came
to their feet and rooted for the Villag-
ers. but nothing happened and business
was continued to the eleventh.
Roy Brashear started the fireworks
with a neat double to left. Hosp bunt-
ed safely, putting Roy on third. Hap
Hogan, who had horned his way into
the argument by batting for F1sher IN
the ninth, refused the responsibility ana
sent Coy in to WELD the stick when 1t
came his turn. Coys effort to Arella-
nes forced Hosp at second, and Lind
saw was killed off on a foul to Danzig.
Then Drunmond Brown proved himselt
a hero by slamming out q screamer 10
left center, giving Brashear chance
to register the finish
In the morning session home runs
were the feature, Roy Brashear and
Hosp being the swatting heroes, the
1atter's fence clearing being good for
two runs. Fitzgerald and Sehafer were
the opposing slabsters, and the latter
had plenty the better of their argu-
ment.
The Senators opened the game in the
first round by sending one over, mainly
because of Hogan. Shinn walked and
Z Val Haltren was safe on bunt. Per-

and Hap held the pill to watch the
bases fill. After Boardman had whitfield

M'CREDIE DECLARES WAR
ON HEARING OF DECISION
Owner of Portland Team Says In
vestigation Has Been
Unfair and Hurried

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 12.-When
told of the decision of Judge Graham
on the protested games, Judge w. w.
McCredie, owner of the Portland
team, said:
"Portland is going to fight the case
as long as it can Until l see the
actual decision I cannot say what
standing it will give US before the ma
tional commission, but If there is any
ground to get the case before that
body we will take it there. AT any
rate, I shall appeal from the decision
of the president of the league to the
board of directors. I cannot say that /
see any hope in that direction, but l
will give them a chance to go on
record, anyway.
'I feel that Judge Graham has not
given us fair treatment. From the
very first he has been predisposed in
favor of Oakland, and even now the
decision Is not handed down on the
original protest. Manager Wolverton
protested the games on the ground that
Hetling belonged to Spokane. That
was shown to be absolutely false, and
Judge Graham turned to digging up
evidence himself and has evolved this
contract jumper business.
"The whole matter has been too hur-
ried. I have been sending in the evil
dence asked for as quickly as I could
gather it. l mailed another letter to
the president yesterday, and now the
decision is out before yesterdays letter
can be considered"

|. A. HIGH RUGBY TEAM
DEFEATS US. &C. LAWYERS
Ragged Exhibition of the English
Game Presented to Fans
at Fiesta Park

Los Angeles high school Rugby team
defeated the U. S. c. law school team
in a ragged exhibition of the English
game at Fiesta park yesterday after
noon, to O. The tally was made in
the second half of a goal from a free
catch by Cass. The game was a strug-
gle between speed and Drawn, and
neither side seemed to have had a suf-
ficient grounding in the game to en-
able them to refrain from American
football tactics.
The law school team started the
game well, and by a series of passes
landed the ball within striking distance
of the high boys goal line. The young
sters held their ground, however, and
the first half ended without a score, al
though the ball remained on the high
school side of the field during most of
the play. A passing series by Mcclure,
Mitchell and, Dorm brought the ball
within kicking distance of the lawyers
touch line, but Cass failed twice to
send it over.
When the two schools changed sides,
with the wind in the favor of the fol-
lowers of Blackstone, it looked like an
easy chance, but the fates decided
otherwise. The collegians even sue
ceeded in sending the ball over the
l.. A. II. S. goal line, but no try re-
suited. the high boys saving luckily.
AS a preliminary to the main event
the Harvard military school team and
the Los Angeles second squad opposed
each other. The game ended without a
score being tailed on either side.
Now Mitchell was the referee of the
main event The halves were Of thirty
minutes duration.

GRAHAM DECIDES
HETLING MIXUP
Judge-President Awards Games
to Commuters, and Oaks
Pop Into Lead

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18,-Judge
Thomas Graham, president of the Pa
cide Coast baseball league, decided
today that Oakland was entitled to the
three games in which Portland played
Hetllng over the protest OF Captain
Wolverton. The decision places Oak
land in the lead for the pennant.
In deciding that the games be-
tween Oakland and Portland, played
on September 2S, 20 and so. must be
awarded to the former team. Judge
Graham declared that Hetling was
clearly ineligible TO play with the
Portland team because he had played
under contract with Spokane until
September 25. Graham further de-
clared that Portland must have known
that Hetling was playing with Spo-
kane and that the defense that he
was still under contract to the former
nine was untenable, inasmueh as q
contract jumper should not be al
lowed to play in championship games
of the Coast league.
Graham quoted at length the rules
of the national commission govern
ing contract jumping, which he de-
clared to be applicable to the present
case. He said that the report Of
Secretary Farrell of the National as
sociation of professional leagues showed
that Hetling signed a contract with
Spokane on September to play on
that team for $3.50 a month.
In concluding his decision, Graham
said:
"It is immaterial to me who wins
the pennant; my one aim since 1 as
sumed the presidency of this league
has been to see that good, fair, clean
and honest baseball is played by all
our teams.
MY duty in deciding the protest
filed by Manager Wolverton is plain.
Hetling was clearly ineligible TO play
with Portland, and it is therefore or
dered that the games in which he
participated on September 2S, 20 and
80 1910, be forfeited to the Oakland
baseball club

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 12.-It is es-
timated by representatives of the ma
tional commission having charge of
the distribution of seats for the first
two baseball games in the worlds Sc
ries here next week that $4,000 has
been returned to applicants for tickets
whose orders cannot be filled. The de-
mand for tickets has broken all rec
ords, and the amount of money re-
turned is the largest eyer turned back.
Although it was officially announced
last Friday that no applications would
be considered which were mailed later
than last Saturday, many people tried
every possible way they knew to buy
reserved seats at advanced prices, The
national commission has taken eX-
traordinary precautions to keep the
tickets out of the hands of scalpers.
Center Fielder Oldring of the Phila-

ball Oldring lost 1t in the sun. To
prevent being hit, he turned suddenly
and wrenched his knee badly. 1t was
badly swollen today, and specialists
declared they could not tell whether
the injury would prevent Oldring from
playing until tomorrow.

ENGLISH POLO PLAYERS
PRAISE AMERICAN PLAY

NEW YORK, oct. 1.-TWO of the
English polo players, the earl OF
Rocksayage and F. A. Gill, sailed for
home recently Both were enthusiastic
as to their season upon the fields OF
this country, but especially as TO the
competitions in which the Ranelagh
team had engaged during the last two
months. AS the earl OF ttocksaVase
put it:
"The last two months of polo mark
an epoch in my life. In the Americans
I have met the finest players that the
world knows in the sport, and it has
been my good fortune to witness feats
of horsemanship and mallet work that
seemed almost incredible AS re-
suit [ am only too keen to return next
March, along with the team that Will
challenge for the international cup"
According to the earl of RocksaY-
age. the one regret that the English
PLAYERS have was that they had not
met the strong four of the Meadow
Brook club, led by Harry Payne Whit
ney. that won the cup from the Brltons
last year. He recalled the fact that
in the only match which Ranelagh
played against four of Meadow
Brook in which the Americans put
forth their leading men his side had
suffered a defeat. Still, he believed
that with the twin Grenfells-ReYy
and Francis-in FORM and with the
inspiration of the world famous cup at
stake, the Britons would be able to
hold their own.
"The winning of the. international
challenge cup by the Americans has
served to stimulate English polo as
nothing else could possibly have done"
continued the earl 1T has brought
about the adoption of the. American
method of rating and the adjustment
of the old form list, for which many
Englishmen had been working for some
time. Then the tactical methods of
play provided a revelation to British
lovers of the sport. The Americans in
iected new ideas into the game, Great
ed new ways of accomplishing the old
things, and altogether have liYened
things up in a truly wonderful manner.
"From every aspect our visit to Am
erica has been a most successful ven
trre. although our Canadian expert
ences were married by sldrmishes with
the customs officials, so that we did
NOT have our own saddles, brides and
rnellets. Earl Grey presented the
Pane1agh team with a massive cup of
silver. and the Grenfells prettily re-
turned the courtesy by Offering a cup
through the Canadian Polo association
which will serve as an incentive toward
+be development of the sport there
AS the steamer sailed the earl said
that he would not say "goodby" for he
expected to return in a few months,
and believed that the English challeng-
ing team had a fair chance Of retaking
the cup in the matches which are ex-
tlrrte5 To he held on tho Meadow Brook
field the latter part of May next year.
