LONGS CHAMPIONS TED WITH OAKLAND FOR SECOND PLACE NLEAOU
Performers PUT
THROUGH GALL0PS
Speedy BubbIing Water Likely
to Figure Strongly Again
at EmeryviHe

A number of owners who rested up
their horses after the close of racing
at Emeryville in June are preparing for
the coming season at the track across
the bay. During the last few days
many well known performers have
been given light gallops as a part of
the early training.
Among the stables where activity is
in evidence is that of Molera & Josephs.
The stars of their string are Bubbling
Water and Cloudlight and they were
seen under saddle during the mornin g
hours. Bubblng Water was regarded
as about the best performer at Emery
vile last season and at one time her
owners planned to ship the mare to
New York, where she was entered in
some of the principal events on the
metropolitan tracks. Later it was de-
cided to rest up the mare, as it was felt
the extremely warm weather would 'af-
feet the animal. 1t is very likely that
Bubbling Water will be an important
factor in the racing during the fall and
winter
l. II. Miller is another owner who has
galloped his horses during the week.
Raleigh is the best in his string.
which consists of seven horses. He is
handling a few for other owners.
George Strife, who trains for j. w.
Paulsen. is giving his horses light gal
lops. w. Covington, who has Eddie
Graney and other useful horses, is also
getting busy. Butch" Fisher is fittin e
the horses of George Van Gorden at
the farm of their owner.
There are several other strings that
remained in the vicinity of Emeryville
during the summer, and when they are
again placed in training the Oakland
track will present busy appearance.
C. w. Carroll. who trained the horses
George Berry shipped to New York, rs
resting, up at his Emeryville home. He
stopped off at Salt Lake en- route
from the east and saw some of the
racing there. All the 2 year oldS Car
roll was handling were disposed of,
When the youngsters first reached
New York they were stricken with
coughs, and it was some time before
they appeared to advantage.
Carroll considers Adrian the star of
the horses he campaigned on the east
ern tracks. The youngster is owned
by the. .Beverwyck stable.
George Berry is king a number
of yearlings at the Napa stock farm
and Carroll will train string at
Emeryville for the coming meeting.
Carroll formed very high opinion
of Olambala. the horse that has been
so successful this season in the colors
of r. T. Wilson Jr. He was so well
impressed yesterday that he felt that
Olambala could beat Fitzherbert at
any distance over mile.
Carroll says the winter tracks will
draw more stables this season than
ever before and that many owners will
make the trip to California for the
first time.
the victory of Novelty in the Saratoga
Special was somewhat of surprise to
Sam Hildreth, as he> felt that Naushon
was the best Naushon was slow to
break and owner Wilson is reported as
being so disappointed he desired spe-
cial meeting between the two young
sters. 1t is likely they will hook UP in
the Futurity.

ing the ball right on the pick inning
after inning.
Tommy Madden, the first man up for
San Francisco, laid against one that
went into the center garden for two
sacks Mohler followed with a we'll
placed sacrifice hit and Jimmy Lewis
made it a run right off the reel for the
Seals by coming through with a single.
1t looked like a big rally right there,
but fast fielding saved Hits life.
SEALS KEEP RIGHT ON
The Seals kept right on their way in
the following round Melchior, who is
supposed to be meat for all the south
shooters, gave the boys a start with
a drive over second. After Witt had
beaten out bunt Berry laid one down
TO Hit, who handily felded Mel out at
third. Then McArdle went out and
Miller registered Witt with slow
single down to second.
The next four spasms were runless
ones, though the Seals made plenty of
hits. In round seven Berry picked out
a drive for himself. McArdle put down
a bunt which was so badly booted by
Kitty Brashear that Berry got around
a S far as third. He easily came home
Nhlle the vernon outneld was busy re-
tiring Miller at first base.
The work of the Seals in the field
was revelation. All of them seemed
TO have a hunch that Miller was out
for record. and they fielded accord
ingly. Up to the time that Mohler
made the wide peg which allowed Yer
non to get its lonesome tally there
were no blunders. But for that one
Miller would have made il no run, no
hit affair anyhow.
San Francisco did not miss a single
inning without connecting safely with
one of Hits alleged curves. The boys
started off with two in the opener
raised 1T TO three in the second. and
after that it was one in each of the
succeeding innings. Tenant, Melchior
and Berry each went for pair of
binglers. Cap Mohler was the only
Seal who failed to connect. The score:

The San Francisco call., 1910-08-21


Pitcher Frank Miller OF the Seals
came within winking distance yester-
day OF ranking with the few great pit
chers who have made worlds record
in the no run, no hit class. For seven
spasms not a Villager could find his
way to the initial sack Miller had
everything in the world on that ball
and besides, he had the most magni-
hcent sort Of support from his team
mates. The 5000 fans in the park
were pulling franticslly for the record.
II looked 10 be in, but alas. Miller
busted" the bubble himself
Roy Brashear, the first man to bat
for Vernon IN the eighth, whiffed vain
ly at two Of Miller's twisters. Every
was no dream But Mr.. Miller delib-
erately tossed four wide ones to
Brashesr. The fans moaned. What
cared they after that? Miller stepped
all over his own feet and tossed a
great. big. juicy bloomer when he had
an opportunity TO send in his measure
for a statue in the hall of fame. The
awakening was indeed a bitter one.
But Miller was not through even
then. He was only on his way. Coy
came next and Miller began to heave
some more wide ones. One, two, three
and then four. Coy also passed and the
crowd mOaned some more. Miller was
through. His goat had strayed away
and he had no guardian TO go out and
capture the elusive angora. There was
even a chance for Vernon TO wade right
in and win the battle at that stage.
WORST YET TO COME
But the worst was Yet to come.
Fisher, fle next batter. lined q hot one
down TO Witt who whisked it over TO
Mohler in Jig time, thus forcing Coy at
second. The Seal captain was in a
hurry TO make a double play and in his
anxiety. he made q very poor toss to
Tenant. The ball went away back
into the bleachers and Brashear found
his way 10 the pan.
Thus il was that Vernon registered
2 run without making anything that
bore close relationship TO a basehit.
IN this respect, the game was one of the
most peculiar ever played in the Goa ast
league. In fact, none of the fans can
remember when another such feat was
performed. One run in nine innings
without the aid of a bingler is sure a
queer stunt.
No pitcher in the world ever twirIed
q more perfect game that did Miller for
those first seven innings He had the
Vernon sluggers swinging their heads
of or knocking easy pop flies or else
fading away on the softest kind of in
field hits He never faltered for an
instant. and the result was that the
Villagers were absolutely helpless be-
fore his delivery.
There is every reason to believe that
Miller would have gotten away with
his tie of the worlds record had he
been able TO hold his nerve and toss
one over the plate 10 Brsshear. There
was one man out at the time and two
strikes on Brashear, and the latter was
about ready 10 swing on anything that
came near the plate. But the next four
were nowhere near.
The game was easy all the way
through for the Seals. Southpaw Roy
Hit was minus about everything save
2 glove and a suggestion of smile.
But for the clever manner in which
the men behind him gave their support
the Seals might have gathered al least
half a dozen runs, for they were meet

Seals stand a grand chance of get
ting away with both games. If
they can accomplish this feat and
if Oakland can give the Beavers a
trimming in the north, then the
race will be so close that it will
make the fans heads swim. Port
land is having very tough time
with those Commuters in the
north. The series now stands two
and two, with a tie in between. 1t
is barely possible that the tie will
be played off this morning, though
the chances are that it will be put
over till some future time.

San Francisco jumped up d peg
yesterday, and now it is tied with
Oakland for second place. This
was caused by the tie game in the
north. Had Oakland broken the
ice it would have been right behind
Portland for first honors and San
Francisco would still have been in
third place. Therefore the tie was
a good boost for the Seals, coming
right on the same day as their

Started at Once.

I'VE expect to have the track be-
tween Rock Island and Monmouth
completed by the first day of June
said Superintendent Mccullough of
the Rock Island Southern at Monmouth
yesterday, when asked how the work
was getting along. Continuing, he said:
There remain about 800 feet of false
work on the main Henderson bridge
to be built, and this will not take over
10 days more, while the track layers
say they can run the rest of the steel
in 10 days or less, so that by the first
day of next month there ought to be a
continuous line of steel from here to
the tri-city terminal"
The work has been moving along at
very satisfactory rate The CON
struction and equipping of the power
house is proving the big thing, and
progress on that is necessarily slow
as there is so much detail to be worked
out.
Start Steam Trains mt Once.
AS soon as the track is completed
and the road ballasted. the freight
service can be started. even though
the electrical equipment is not ready
at that time, so that before the mid
die of June there ought to be trains
running. Work on the A1edo line is
getting along at good rate under the
direction of Contractor Peterson.

The master timers of the tri.cities

evening to discuss conditions that have

to work under the open shop policy
recently announced. 1t was reported
that two of the Davenport shops and
one Moline shop had met the terms
demanded by the union, agreeing to
give employment to no one not holding
a journeyman's card. Those present
at the meeting reiterated their pur-
pose to enforce the open shop policy.
While there was shortage of men, it
was stated that each shop expected
soon to be up to its regular compile
ment
