Power In GASOLINE

The power in gasoline is really mar
velous. The man who has used gaso-
line power for years does not marvel

man with horses that need the exer-

They are easily fattened for market,

INTO A 9.T0.3 DEFEAT
Upset by. Frisco's Seismic

Fall Easy Prey to Seals.

San Francisco, March 12.-Duffy's
regulars gave sad exhibition of base
ball yesterday in their second game
with the Seals. The score favored the
locals to the tune of to 8. The Sox
were evidently upset by the earthquake
which shook up the city last night and
their nerves were too far out of plumb
to permit them to play UP to the stand
ard. The Seals were somewhat worse
than usual. but they recovered in much
shorter time than the tenderfeet from
the east.
Jimmy Scott was more to blame than
any other man. on the team for the de-
feat, for he allowed eleven hits after
handing out six bases on balls. The
sox could only connect safely for seven
hits and they were only handed two
passes by the local pitchers. Scott
pitched the full game, but Manager
Long sent three twirlers to the slab

erased 10 1-21 and his opponent had an
even 20. On grand average to date
Hoppe has % S6-S7 and Mornfngstar
IT 5S-S7
Probably the best single run in 1871
billiards ever seen in Chicago came in
the sixth inning. when Hoppe gathered
l5S. The worlds record in a champion
ship game is 40. made by Ives many
years ago. But Hoppe has beaten this
several times on his present exhibition
tour with Morningstar
His highest cluster is 1877 made in
Minneapolis recently and is the best
on record. During last nights run
Hoppe made on marvellous stroke which
was to all intents and purposes a per-
feet hook shot. He failed to get the
balls out of balk on his 154th
Morningstar played beautiful con-
sistent billiards all the way, making a
number of good runs. but none of a
sensational nature. His 50 in the sew
enth showed him again a master of the
draw shot and the difficult masse. For
that matter both men have given the
best series of 1871 games ever staged in
the city.

landing several hard blows to the body.
Gardner was slow and, as in the pre-
vious rounds. fought on the defense
during the whole session, varying the
program by shooting a straight left
to Clabby's body occasionally. How
ever none of his blows did any exc
cutfon.
There was little doing in the sixth.
the round ending with honors fairly
even. Ciabby was the more agrees
sive, chasing Gardner all around the
ring, but landed only a few stiff blows
Gardner did some superb blocking.
The next round was so tame that
there were catcalls and Kisses when the
men took their corners. There were
not three real blows struck. They
pushed and tugged each other around
the ring, Gardner having a slight
shade in the tame milling. There was
more action crowded into the eighth
round than all the rest. Both fighters
showed a willingness to mix 1t. There
were several hurricane exchanges that
brought cheers from the crowd. Clabby
kept up his aggressive tactics. Gard
ner also was willing to stand up and
box.
The ninth was another hurricane af-
fair The crowd was its feet when
the gang rang. Both men stood toe
to toe. mixing 1t fercely. Gardner
used his left with good effect, while
Clabby did some excellent execution
with a right swing. 1t was an even
round.
Steve Kinney outpointed Angelo Izzo
in six round curtain raiser. 1t was
rough and tumble bout, both men
showing and pushing each other all
over the ring. The second preliminary
was a walkaway for Freddie Andrews
who beat Antoine the Greek in every
one of the six rounds of the bout.
Young Fitzgerald was slated to appear
in this bout with Andrews. but Freddie
was four pounds overweight and Fitz-
gerald refused to go on.
Billy Moorehead gave Emil Proch-
now of West Allis a severe beating in
the eight round semi windup, outpoint-
ing his opponent. The bell saved
Prochnow from a Knockout in the sec
