The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1910-09-14

Mitchell the man of mysterious
moods and movements, essayed to ex-
hibit himself, his moods, his movements
and his shoots out on the Valencia
street lot yesterday for the first time
in his life. Apparently he unloaded
all he had in his possession for the
benefit and edihcation of the home fans,
but his collection was of far more
benefit TO the Villagers from Vernon.
They just took Mr.. Mitchen's number
and hung il up all around the park.
They made him miss and boot and toss
the ball away and they gave him a
good, sound beating before the finish
came.
Before he would consent TO go to
work Mitchell insisted upon capturing
the goats OF Manager Danny Long. Um-
pires Van Haltren and Hildebrand and
the various young men who played on
the San Francisco club He would not
condescend to show his shapely form or
his handsome face on the diamond till
various newspaper Photographic had
been banished from the field.
And the photographers were ban
ished, too. Mr.. Mitchell had his way.
He's off 10 a good start and perhaps
in few days he will make Captain
Mohler darn his socks and compel
Danny Long TO shine his shoes. while
Cmpires Eildebrand and Van Haltren
are serving him some breakfast. He's
some bear this same Mr.. Mitchell He's
the boy who is showing the powers up
and all the others will have to burn
the diamond 10 catch up with him.
BEAT ONLY THE UMPIRES.
IT would have been great and glori-
Gus had the Nick Carter OF baseball
got away with his game. but, alas, the
tossers from Vernon. who had just
dropped in from Sacramento after los
ing a series to the league trailers, made
him look like class Q backwoods man.
He did not have anything new TO show
the southern tossers, but he showed
Long and Mohler and the umpires a
few
The man OF mystery delayed the
game fully 10 minutes by his queer,
weird antics. He ran for cover from
the camera men and while the fans in
the stand and bleachers yelled and
''hoilered" for action, Mitchell just
stalled and lay low. Then the San
Francisco manager and the umpires
were appealed to. the camera men were
chased and the game went on.
Mitchell may be some pitcher when
he is pitted against a bunch of the soft
ones, but not against man like south
paw Raleigh. The little fellow from
the south had everything at all times,
while there were times when Mitchell
had nothing. Raleigh should have
registered a clean shutout. while
Mitchell was lucky TO have gotten away
as. easily as he did.
During the first four spasms, Mitchell
was the woRks- He was winging the
Villagers TO the bench with machine
like regularity and none Of them could
tear OF anything that bore the slightest
resemblance TO base hit. Five of the
Villagers were famed in those early
stages and it looked as though Mitchell
would walk right along with his game
without interference.
But the Villagers pulled of some
terrific inhghting in the fifth frame
and they gave Mitchell a fine time
Coy started them with two sacker
against the right field fence, Roy
Brashear advanced him with an in
field out and Lindsay brought him
home by lifting q Texas Lacquer into
right neld. one of those which nobody
can get under.
HE Is SOME BoOTER
1t was even worse in the sixth wher
the Villagers tore after the artful
dodger once more. He started badly
