Oakland 1, Sacramento O

Only one man crossed the pan in the
morning game at Oakland and he was
Captain Harry Wolverton of the Com
muters- His effort was entirely a self
made one, for he laced the ball over the
right field fence in the seventh inning.
There was nobody on the bases at the
time. but unfortunately this run was
good enough 70 put the Commuters
over the jumps
The game was played in ] hour and
lS minutes. one of the fastest of the
season. The rival pitchers. Nelson and
Whalen, did more work than all the
men who were assisting them 1t was
question of which team would come
on with lucky hit and Cap Wolvertou
answered that question when he lined
the ball out OF the lot
Both mines played errorless ball. while
the pitchers had control that was nearly
perfect. each of them walking one man
The Senators filled UP the bases on two
singles and Nelson's lone walk in the
seventh, but there were two men out
at the time and the run was easily Gu,
off. The score.

Racing Again
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Upwards of 10,-
600 persons, including many former
devotees of the sport, enjoyed an after
noon of racing under the auspices of
the labor organizations of Chicago at
Hawthorne track today.
There was abundant opportunity for
betting. Six books that were operated
openly on the New York plan did land
Office business. The authorities were
represented, but no attempt was made
to interfere with the book making.
The tentative plans for continuing
the meeting during the .est of the
week have been abandoned and it is
improbable that the real effort to re-
vive racing in Chicago will be attempt
ed until next summer.

Great Big Series Of
Year Opens Tomorrow

There will be no game this aft
ernOon, but tomorrow, at Recre-
alton park, Portland and Oakland
will open up in the great big
series of the year. The team
which wins the first game will be
leading the league, for the Beav-
ers are only half game ahead
of the Oaks at the present time.
Oakland will have a shade on
their opponents, for the reason
that they are at home and will
have all day today to practice and
rest up, while the Beavers will
be travelling, eOOped up in hot.
stuffy cars. They are not due
till tomorrow morning. but there
is no doubt about our hearing
plenty about them just as soon
as they put in their appearance.
The Seals and the Angels will
play in Los Angeles, beginning
Thursday, and the Villagers and
the Senators will MIX at Sacra-
mento.
