ON | BILL;
REES WINS

Louie Rees, the Los Angeles light
weight. sprung a surprise on the fans
last night when he defeated Ray
Campbell decisively in four rounds.
The latter was sent down. for the
count of seven in the fourth round
and when he arose he was in such
helpless shape that Referee Jack
Grace stopped the bout, the victory
being credited to Rees as a knock
out.
1t was a rafting good scrap. with
Rees showing vastly improved FORM
He looked to have the edge through
out, and when he had Campbell right
in the fourth he swung over a hay
maker and down went the local boy
In heap. 1t was a well timed blow.
lie hooked Campbell with his left and
then shot out his right and Campbell
went down.
Johnny Scdenberg and Al Rodgers
boxed a four round draw. Rodgers
scored three knockdowns and he
looked to have the best of 1t.
The other bouts resulted as follows:
Harry Dell was given the decision
over Johnny Aaron, Eddie Biller won
on points from Kid Williams, Johnny
Mccarthy won over Battling Kelly,
Sailor Mike Knocked out Lou Simms
In the fourth, Soldier Wood Knocked
out Soldier GazeIi In the third round
and Jack Bratton knocked out Ralph
Groven in the first round. Lee John
son had It all over Kid Exposito.

SEAL DEFEAT
DOOMS EN-
IN RACE
Buck 0'Brien Showing Class
on Mound After Bad Start;
Seals in Batting Slump
By Joe MURPHY

The hopes of the Seals getting out
OF the second division were blasted
yesterday by the Oaks, when Buck
star, held the locals to three scat
tered hits and shut them out to o.
The performance of the former
major league pitcher must have
pleased Manager DevIin and the mag
mates of the Oaks. as OBriens debut
here was not a successful one. He
pitched several games, but failed to
display any form. With work
oBrien has been improving, and his
poor showing when he Joined the Oaks
was undoubtedly due to the fact that
he had been out OF the game too
much.
Boston gave him but few opportuni-
ties to show himself, and when
he went to the White Sox Callahan
kept him on the bench most of the
time.
The Seals have been in a batting
slump since they returned home. In
the last two games they were held
10 FIVE hits by opposing pitchers. In
fact. their hitting average for the
series to date is a fraction above
four hits game.
They are four and a half games
behind the Tigers. and there appears
10 be but little chance OF the locals
entering the first division.
The only fight now left in the
Coast league is the one for second
place Sacramento and Venice have
had a hard battle for the last two
weeks
Jef Overall has pitched remark
ably good ball since he joined the
Seals but he has been the victim of
& lot of bad luck His appearance
on the mound seems to Supply the
other members of the club and they
appear to have batting cramps. They
were unable to give him a run yester-
day, and it is hard to expect a pitcher
10 win games with assistance of this
kind
Elmer Zacher was great at the bat
yesterday. but he was awful on the
bases. In four trips to the rubber
he laced out a hit on each occasion.
Twice he was thrown out at second
for overrunning the bag when Gard
ner had hit safely to the infield.
The Sacs have been hitting the ball
Al terrific clip. Even with Speck
darkness on the mound yesterday
Hogan was unable to stop the onward
march Of Wolverton's tossers They
slammed Speck so hard that Edmond
son was rushed into the fray
y
Like the other members of the local
club, Jimmy Johnston is in a batting
slump. He got but one hit yesterday,
and he tried to steal He was called
out at second on close play.
Overall plans to play ball this win
ter with the Santa Monica club of the
Midwinter league.
Now that the pennant is safely
slowed away, McCredie is trying out
some OF his young material. Davis.
an infielder, and Hafey, a pitcher, were
given q trial by Mac yesterday in the
game in the south. Davis played good
ball. getting two hits in five times up.
He accepted 10 chances without a slip.

By OSCAR WITT.

InheIder Of the Detroit Tigers
IN selecting the best ball player
I have seen. ! am picking the
man who does most to win
games for the club he represents
That man Is unquestfonably Eddie
Collins, the great second baseman
OF the Athletics, to my way of
thinking.
Here is one player who Is will
ing to sacrifice all personal gain
to help his club. When he Is on
the hsld It 10 the Athletics he Is
trying to help, and not Eddie
Collins. That Is the reason why
Mack's club Is so successful. He
has players on 1t who are always
playing to win, and not for indi-
vidual gain. However. the other
members Of the club can hardly
be efassed with Collins.
GREAT AT ALL FONTS
Collins Is great whether he Is
playing the defensive or offensive.
In few departments of the
game 10 he exceIled. He is q
brilliant fielder, who thinka
quickly, and he makes but few
mistakes. At the bat he. has few
superiors. He has a wonderful
~ye, and when he hits the ball he
meets it fairly, usually sending
1t away from tho plate on line
for q clean drive. He can lay
down q hunt with equal skill, and
1t IL hard to figure him when he
faces q pitcher.
The point that I admire in Col
Inns ID tho fact that he never
plays to the grandstand. He
adopts tho play that will help his
club and not the one that will
win him applause from the spec
tators.
have seen him in games
where he has laid down q sacri-
fee hit to score run, whereas
II he had stood up and whaled
away at the ball and succeeded
in knocking out q single or =
double he would have been the
hero of the afternoon. That Is
what like about him. and
don't think there is another
player in the game today who
wins as many ball games for his
club than this fellow Collins.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1913-10-18
COLLINS IS BEST, SAYS WITT
COBB A GRANDSTAND PLAYER

greater than Collins in many re-
spects. do not think he is as
valuable to club as Collins. He
is from a financial standpoint, as
the Georgian Is undoubtedly the
greatest box office attraction in
the game today. His spectacular
style of play is popular with the
fans. and while the Tigers were
rather iowly In the pennant race,
they were good drawing cards.
because the crowds would go out
to- see Cobb bat and steal bases.
If Cobb would play the game
like Collins I think he would be
the greatest of them all. but he
does not Cobb is essentially an
individual player. He Is unlike
Collins in this respect. However,
the fans like to see Cobb, and
they must be pleased
DOESN'T OVERLOOK COBB
There Is no player In the game
who takes advantage Of the other
fellows mistakes like Cobb. He
forces the opposing player to ae-
ton all the time. and he has an
eye like an eagle for detecting
mistakes. Any time Cobb laces a
single to the 0utf1eld or infield
there Is sure to be play at first
base for him. He rounds that
initial corner and is ready to go
to second on the slightest slip Of
an opposing fielder He takes
such q daring lead that the play
ers are always taking q ehanee at
getting him at first.
Cobb will try to seal q base no
matter whether his club is five
runs behind This Collins will
not do. 1t - not the kind of ball
playing that will win games.
Cobb catches the eye quicker than
Collins, but think the latter gets
better results for his club
jackson Is q great hitter. but
10 not as good as Collins or Cobb
in other respects. As I have not
seen many Of the National league
stars In action. am not in q
position to Judge them. I have
reviewed Wagner's record, and he
must have been q great ball
player. Any man who can go
along and bat at a 900 clip for
II successive years must be a
marvel.

Who'sYOUR Choice

"Muggsy" McGraw, the
Giants leader. who picked Ed
die Collins Of the Athletics ~
the greatest ball player of all
time, finds 4 strong supporter
in his choice In Oscar Witt, the
former Seal third baseman and
now an infelder on Jennings
Detroit Tigers, q teammate Of
the mighty Tyrus Cobb. Bill
LANCE and Arthur Devlin say
Honus Wagner, who has bat
ted more than 800 for II
straight years and who has
played the same brand Of base
bali in all other departments
during that long period, IS the
king Of them all. Del Howard,
also in a position to Judge the
merits Of the great and near
great on the diamond, says
Cobb takes the palm. What
