ton, seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts
New Orleans is 500 miles from tba
center OF population in the TTn,te3
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within radius of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 1880 600
people. Within the same radius FINN,
San Francisco there are only 200 0Oo
Within a radius of 1000 miles from
New Orleans, there are 65,OOO000.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average of 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 70 of our
principal cities with a combined
population of 100000 Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only s large cities, with com.
bined population of just 100000.
The average distance Of all these
cities to New Orleans is 792 miles,
to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over rs per cent of the people OF
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex.
pense for railroad fare of $3.50. az
against an average OF $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil.
lions of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone,
for trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans.
portation expenses for a trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public uues-
ton to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December.
Many of our readers will wish to
visit this Worlds Panama Exposi-

great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
could go to San Francisco. There.

corn and oats are bumper crops, the

bushel mark, this report was made up
only to October /. Since that data
even the stragglers of the 1910 corn

note of these and will also tell the
country that many millions of bush

GAME FOR THEM SELVES
Especial Dispatch to The Call

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 22.-Poor gen
eralship on the part of the Angels when
they had chance to send in a run,
coupled with Arellanes' nice slab work
sent Los Angeles down another notch
and gave Sacramento a one to nothing
victory. The two safe hits charged
against the former Boston American
twirler would indicate that he was far
better than he really was. for the locals
bumped his delivery all afternoon, but
could not send them safe
Tozer dished them up for Berry and
allowed eight hits, only one of which
helped. In the fifth inning pass dealt
Burns went for a run when Mickey La
Longe raped out a double to center
which Howard, who attempted to relay
1t, sent home with poor aim, Burns
crossing the platter.
The first real hit scored off Arellanes
came in the sixth inning when Delmas
opened the round with a triple to right
Delmas' clever effort went for naught
when all three men following him were
easy outs. Again in the ninth the
Angels had a pair of men on the bags
with none down, but were unable to
complete the job.

are betting on him.
The odds on the fight dropped an
other point in Hogan's favor. He is
now 10 to Z choice. and the betting
is rather brisk at these figures Smith
will be given liberal support by the
Oakland fans.

Oakland Lad on Short End of 10 to Betting
for Tonight's Four Round Battle
BY JOSEPH MURPHY

One Round" Hogan and frankie
Smith should furnish plenty of action
in their four round encounter at
Dreamland pavilion tonight. The boys
look to be well matched and both of
them are whirlwinds at the four round
game.
Hogan will probabl endeavor to win
before the scheduled four rounds, as he
IS anxious to get a chance at some
of the leading lights in the lightweight
field and he is believing for a whack
at Ad Wolgast. Just how good a boy
Hogan is can not be ascertained from
his past performances, for he has never
gone more than four rounds, but at
this distance he seems to be possessed
of championship material.
He demonstrated in his recent bout
with frankie Burns that he is classy
scrapper. for Burns came on a few
weeks later and battled Owen Moran
to a 10 round draw. Moran is con-
coded to be one of the best little men
that England has produced, so taking
the dope and figuring it out, Hogan is
a fighter of more than ordinary ability.
SMITH MORE SEASONED
Smith is bit more seasoned than
Hogan. He has been up against tougher
game and has showed that he is
there" He is confident of beating
the knocker out and has been 1ong

Baseball Notes

It's sad to think that Mohlers misplay was
the only real error of the game. Henley and
Willis each made wild pitches, but unfor-
tunateiy. Henley's happened when there was
an oaklander on third base.
Monte Pfyl slid into second base with all his
weight in the eigth Inning and twisted his
few minutes and finished out the game. Oak
land would be badly of without Pfyl now.
Maggart's ankle is in very bad shape and he
came near putting himself out OF commission In
the fourth round when he went after that drive
which Bodie placed against the left field fence.
Like Pfyi, he managed to keep on
bases once again. They kept trying to steal
on him all afternoon. and as fast as they tried.
they were winged out at second. Not an OAK
got away with single steal;
Charlie Irwin got a great hand from the
transbay fans when he trotted out upon the dia-
mcnd. 4 on the previous day. Irwin worked
very nicely ca the bases and every one of his
decisions was wen received
When McGreevy walked out on the field be-
fore the game he was greeted with a storm
of Kisses from the Oakland fans, though the
was not so pronounced as
pected. Near the end of the game few lemons
were tossed from the bleechers at the indi-
Gator man. When a foul struck McGreevy on
the foot in the second. the Oakland fans just
roared with Laughter VERY. nice work
Much to the disappointment of the Oakland
contingent Captain Wolverton did not get into
the game. though everybody thought he was
itching for action after his layon of a week.
Wolrerton. however, in uniform and coached
the team from the bench. He did not explain
why he failed 10 take part in the contest. but
the chances are that be will be seen In action
