New Worlds Revolver
Record Claimed

NEW YORK, May PA new worlds
record for % caliber pistol shooting
was claimed today by A. NJ. Poindexter
of the Monmouth revolver club of Red
bank, n. ]. Mr. Poindexter sent to the
national officers of the United States re-
volver association at Springfield, Mass,
his target, together with affidavits of
witnesses toNshow that he had scored
100 in 10 shots, $50 for Is shots and 1Ss
for 20 shots.
The bullseye for this work is 2.72
inches in diameter and is divided into
three sections. The inner circle of
about two-thirds of an inch in diameter
carries the maximum count of 10. With
his first target, shooting 10 times, Poin-
dexter made perfect score, which will
constitute a worlds record If it is al
lowed.
Poindexter then shot a second target
for the 20 shot worlds record His
score was 10, 10, 8, 8. TO- 10, 10, 9, 5, ga
total of SO, or 189 for the 20 shots. This
does not constitute a worlds record, but
it ties it, Thomas Anderton of New York
having shot 189 in 1908.

The Sacramento and Oakland teams
of the State league played joke game
at the Grove street ball yard, across
the bay yesterday. Oakland winning by
a score of II to 2.
Heister, who used to be a good
pitcher, but who has recently been de-
voting his attention to other positions
on the diamond, essayed to win the
game for the folks from the interior,
but one inning sufficed to convince
Charlie Doyle that, while Heister might
be pretty nifty infielder he was In
no condition to pitch. The Invaders
soused four safe hits and grabbed
three walks in the first inning All
of these helped to build up total of
six runs and mark Mr.. Heister's re-
tfrement from the mound Thornton
pitched the balance of the game, but
could not prevent the Oakland lads
from adding five more tallies.
Knox pitched for the Invaders and
gave a fairly good account of himself
He weakened in the eighth and was
combed for four hits, which netted the
visitors their two tallies.
Eddie Burns and Streib garnered
three hits apiece during the course of
the festivities. one of Burns being for
three stations. The score:

Tennis TOURNEY
PUT over A WEEK
Local Championship Event Post
pOned So That Stars May
Play i'm South
By GRANT SMITH

Those in charge of local tennis af-
fairs have decided to postpone the an
nual San Francisco championship event
for one week so as not to conflict with
the big meet to be held on the courts
of the Hotel Mount Washington, which
is just outside of Los Angeles. The
new hotel will open it's courts next Sat
urday and as the cream of the local
talent will participate it was deemed
advisable to postpone the local cham
pionship event. The absence of Long
and Mclaughlin would make the San
Francisco championship event dismal
affair, as they are about the only real
talent hereabouts at present. McLough-
lin is the present champion and will
no doubt meet Long in the challenge
match. This event will start one week
from Saturday.
The local players who will go south
are Miss Hazel Hotchkiss. Miss Coda
Myer. Maurice Mclaughlin. Melville
Long and Dr. Sumner Hardy. The
matches will be: Miss May sutton VS..
Miss Hazel Hotchkiss, May IS. at 2:30
D. m., Mclaughlin VS.. Thomas Bundy,
Long VS.. A. E. Bell Bell and Hardy VS..
Mclaughlin and Long, Miss Coda Myer
and Hardy VS.. Miss HotchkisS and Nc
Loughlin. This is certainly an attrac-
tive looking card and the southern fol-
lowers of the game have a treat in
store for them.
The feature of the meet will be the
match between Miss Sutton and Miss
Hotchkiss. 1t will be in the nature of
a return match, as Miss Hotchkiss won
from Miss Sutton at Ojai early in the
month. The former worlds champion
is anxious to redeem herself. while Miss
Hotchkiss is equally anxious TO prove
that her victory was by no means a
fiuke, as some are inclined to believe.
1t was Miss SuttonS first defeat at the
hands of an American player and the
second of her career. If Miss Hotch-
kiss wins she will have established her
self as one of the foremost players of
the world, if not the foremost. An
other victory means much to her and it
also means a return of considerable
prestige to Miss Sutton. 1t is quite
likely the latter will turn the tables on
the national champion. although the
little Berkeley players decisive victory
makes her chances of scoring again
look good.
The handicap singles tournament
commenced on the Golden Gate park
courts last Sunday will be completed

BAD BASE RUNNING
COSTS OAKS GAME
Commuters Traverse Pillows Like Lot
Of Chinese, and Are Beaten
By JOSEPH MURPHY

Oakland tossed of a game yesterday
which belonged to them, but stupid
base running brought about their de-
feat. The Oaks had many bright op-
portunities to cinch the contest, but
they ran bases like a lot of Chinese.
The game went into the tenth frame,
when it was suddenly ended by Fisher,
AicCredie's star backstop, slamming the
sphere over the right field fence, while
Olson graced the third sack.
Outside Of the poor base running on
the part OF the Commuters the game
was wen contested and the fielding was
fast and snappy. Both teams scored
in the opening inning and there wasn't
another run made until the tenth frame.
Gregg. the lanky offside shooter for
The Beavers. was given the heavy work,
while Christian took the hill for the
oaks In the seventh the latter was
taken out when Speas and Gregg were
on third and second respectively and
but one down. wolverton figured that
Harkins was more effective against OIL
son than Christian. The change was a
good one. as the best the Beaver short
stop could do was TO roll an easy one
TO Harkins, who threw Speas out at
the plate. The side was retired with
no runs.
Oakland was threatening all the way
through, but they cut their necks every
time 4 chance was offered them. In
the fifth four good, healthy bingles and
z. base on balls failed TO result in q run.
Again in the seventh they made two
hits, but they threw away a run by
poor base running.
As the game got along toward the
finish Gregg seemed to improve with
age and he was invincible during the
last three frames.
After two were down Hetling walked
and McCredie did likewise. Fisher
scored Hetling with a single to right.
In Oakland's half of the inning Cut
shaw worked Gregg for four bad ones
and Hogan swung on one for a double,
which registered Cutshaw
The Oaks equaled the performance of
Vernon last season by getting four hits
without making a run. Swander start
Cd off by hitting safely to center. but
was caught at second in trying to
stretch the hit into q double. Maggart
singled 20 left Pearce singled to right.
Christian was safe on a beautiful in
field hit. Maggart started to come
home, but considerd the matter en-
sroute and then came on again, only to
be caught of third Cutshaw walked,
filling the bases, and then Wares went
out.
The tenth was opened by Olson wait
sing for four bad ones. Hetling sacri-
need him along. and then Fisher Sc
lected a pumpkin which he swung on
and the little sphere sailed gently over
the right field fence. Olson and Fisher
smbled around the bases
Gregg was satisfied with this lead,
As he got the Oaks big three in easy
fashion. Hogan. Cameron and Wolver-
ton were easy outs. For nine innings
the hits stood 10 to in favor Of Oak
land and each team made an error, and
still the Commuters lost. Score:

WANDERERS LEAD
IN CRICKET RACE
Crack Team Looks to Have the
Edge on Championship of
California League
By WILLIAM UNMACK
STANDING OF THE CLUBS

Though the Wanderers have played
two more games than their nearest
rival, it seems as if they have good
lookin for the Championship. The
Wanderers have completed the first
round Of the tourney and with the ex-
ception of the game against the Bar
barians have routed every team that
tried to displace them from the lead
ing position. The easy manner in which
the Wanderers defeated the once
almost invincible San Francisco team
last week surprised even the most
ardent supporter of the Wanderers
The San Francisco men, for some rea-
son, are by no means the strong ag-
gregation they were last year.
The Barbarians have suffered more
than any other team the loss of good
players, and the team that takes the
field today against the champions has
only four of the original champion
team in It's ranks. Still another old
and well known ericketer is slated
to leave the Barbs after the game
today in the person of A. II. Moverly.
The Australian and Great Britain
teams, selected by the association and
announced in The Call last Friday, are
two exceptionally strong sides, and
ought to give a good exhibition of the
game. Greater interest than usual is
being taken In this annual fixture and
doubt journey to San Mateo on Deco
doubt journey to San Mateo on Deco
ration day. Both teams have good bat
ting and bowling sides, though In the
latter respect the Australian side seems
to have a decided advantage.
The final games of the first round of
the competition will be played today
between the Barbarians and San Fran
cisco teams at the Stadium and the
Alameda and Golden Gates at Alameda.
The Alameda and Barbarian teams are
both running even in the competition
at present and a decision against either
one will be disastrous to them
The best game today will no doubt
be between the Barbarians and the
San Francisco teams at the stadium

be as follows:

Newton held the championship of the
coast for years, and was almost IN
vincible. He was in a class by himself

as formerly. and Whyte. on the other
hand, has improved wonderfully.
Shreve & Co. has put up perpetual
challenge cup on which the winner
and runnerup will have their names
engraved. The club to which the win
ner belongs will hold the trophy for
one year. The winner will receive a
gold medal and a silver medal will go
to the runnerup- The two semfhnaltsts
will receive bronze medals. There will
be a silver cup for the best score IN

be played and in the afternoon the
semifnals will come up for decision
The final round has been set for the
