Lijndon's latest expor- tation inthe fight line, is a classy boy, according to what the English. sporting writers and public have to say of Him. Jem is 27 years old and. has been boxing nine years. During his ring career Drlscoll has won 31 flghta, :and has never been beaten. The late George Dlxon, champion feather weight of the world in his day, is the only man who ever erot even as good as a draw with the "Welshman. Drlscoll came to -"America for the sole purpose of fighting Abie Attell, and as Attell has gone on record as saying he. would meet Drlscoll and let him make a weight at which he would be strong, a match between the Ameri- can and Drlscoll Is inevitable. Jem is describe/1 as . a very clever boxer, of. good habits, a ripping punch and agamebojv Drifecoll is under the management of Charlie " Harvey ' and is in New York, and the chances are that It will not be very -long/before Jem drifts out this way. If Driscoll is as good as his admirers -say he »is he would be. a welcome addition to the local fight colony and a match between him and Attell would make an attractive card.

The Seals had all the class that was displayed yesterday afternoon :at the Valencia street lot, and therefore, the taking of two games from the down- trodden Commuters was a task that did not; require any jolt 'of "excess ex- ertion on the part of the victors. The" first one "was the contest that counted, for the last was merely an exhibition game. However, it. carries with', it a great deal of distinction, as -Pa\ Van Haltren, the oldest player in the. world, did the twisting for Oakland. . r The ancient boy was roughly treated by the Seals. ' Before he had a chance to. warm up his, withered soupbone' the boys began to sting everything he possessed. By the time thê fifth inning was reached' San Francisco' was- there with five runs, and Henley v was-pitching 'good -enough; ball to hold Oakland safe at all times. ' ' When the double header was adver- tised it ' was naturally expected that both games would count-in the per- centage column. But when --Secretary Dan bong looked up the dope he dis- covered that the teams had no post- poned contests to be played off. and therefore, under the rules, the second contest had to go as an exhibition game. For the first time in many weeks, Harry Sutor showed a flash of the form that made him feared by all the batters of the league when" the season was In its infancy. Once he got over a bad inning at the outset, he winged the sphere over the panwithas much grace and as much steam as ever. -He was there 40 ways and Oakland waS lucky^to start with a run. Loucks also displayed a fine line of stuff, and pitched the best he had throughout, but a homer by Beck and Iruck Eagan's errors put the rollers under him in the seventh, .when the Seals landed for a pair of tallies, just enough . to bring the victory home. Beck laced the ball over the right Held fence with two down and then the others commenced their work. .Berry hit a grounder to short, and Eagan booted. - McArdle waited and was. rewarded with a pass. Sutor also got 'the • Eagan habit and again Truck fell down. JVlohler saw that there was a chance for him and followed Sutor's lead. True to .form, Truck fumbled for the third time without a letup and on the play Berry arrived and the game was won. . -.>-... „ Old time fans who saw Truck per- form say that he established a world's record. : None of, them ever-saw''a ; man boot three; ln a row before. '^Manyna time a-player will make three or four errors in a'game, but there is no -record to show --where a tosser/ ever -.muffed three of them, especially with two out. The game was fast and ' snappy throughout, and aside from Eagan's awful work. not a man on either side missed a single chance. The Seal, in- field worked like a bunch of eight day clocks "behind , Sutor and. fast, sensa- tional fielding pulled the big southpaw out of many an ugly hole. . Oakland was slow on-the bases and overlooked many a chance in this way. The. second - contest 1 was called 10 mlnutqs after the expiration of the first one and, incidentally, it broke the league's record in the matter of time used up. The boys were on their toes from the moment the first ball was pitched until the last man was declared out. < The contest was reeled off in just an hour and 10 minutes, some speed in any league. . i Old Van. trotted- out on the mound and the ,veterans were sure that he looked just the same as he did 83 years ago at the -old Twenty-sixth and Har- rison street grounds. Had he worn a wig it Is said that nobody cduld tell tho difference. : Van pitched, he . declares, just! to show. Dr. Osier up. He certainly made good in this line. In the first three Innings the Seals got to the grandfather \u25a0or the league for. five runs, enough to win any ordi- nary game of ball;;: But he was not disheartened \and kept on pitching. the best he had at all times. Ills control was perfect and* had he been accorded a little better support the chances are that the game would have been a close one. y. -\u25a0''.-*- Henley twirled a- magnificent, article of ball. He was there .with the perfect brand, of control and would have made ifa clean blank but'" for a double by Hoßan and a single from- the bat of Duff ey Lewis in the seventh spasm. The score: . • . W.

The San Francisco fight fansace tired of peeling off their good coin to see ring cooks who would look better doing a two step about the family washtub or waltzing a round steak over "a gas range than appearing as ring gladiators, foisting the like of Unholz on the public leaves no good taste in the fight fan's' mouth and \ does the 'game no good.

Just when hits counted none of the local sludgers could take a ride on a safe, drive." In a 12 to 10 game they generally fared [very niceryy but such contests are too scarce in this league.

Old Pa Van Haltren and President Ed AValter did the best they \u25a0 could. to bring the nine up with Uhe" leaders, ;but their efforts were of no avail. Oakland seemed cut but for llasi- place,' andithere it stayed. For- a time, early, in the. season, Oakland led for some days, but -as every other team has this much to say ; for -itself, the fact is not sd remark- able.

Dillon chose his men wisely and developed them ,rapidl>v This is the secret of his success as a leader.. -The' Portland club was .wrecked by 'dissension. Everybody willadmit this: A great baseball team, it started the season with everything in its favor, but once it began to slump there was nobody to wipe the grease off the s toboggan, and it was out of the race early. Portland was fortunate to finish in second place. ' . . : ' McCredie managed to band a' fine aggregation of club wielders together, but they all played for their batting averages,. and minded not how the team was doing. .If a man copped but his, hit or two each day he was satisfied. The .300 mark in batting looked better to every Beaver than did the .750 mark in team victories. V/ -^*-' *-'.'•? r" : . 7 The most conspicuous ' figure in the league was Captain and Manager Frank Dillon of, the pennant winning Angels. It was through, his efforts'that the champioriVsouthern aggregation got into. the fight early and kept the lead from the moment they assumed it. The hat of every fan" who follows the game must be doffed, to Dillon as the champion diamond leader. Although he. lost ; threeof : his best men Jast season— Carlisle, Cravath and^Burhs— Dillon replaced 'them with players who proved equally as ef-. fectivc.Jand ere the season was two months on its way the fans who had been mourning the loss of the star trio to the big leagues forgot them entirely, so well did Dillon make out with his new material. . ; iWhen i, this ? evening's sun sets k the sixth annual season of Vthe^Pacific Coast baseball league will haye.come.to, a memorable end, and for the fourth time within: as many years the championship pennant will '* be turned over to the s Los Angeles , aggregation, the grandest \u25a0: ball team ; that the \u25a0 coast ; has boasted since the : days~ of the historic Pioneers, Haver leys and Greenhood and Morans; whose feats, set the crowds wild in the latter seventies and early eighties. To say -that the coast league did not 'keep up its stride: with the big league organizations and join in the" prosperity procession would be a great mistake. Though ;other '\u25a0. industries ', and amusements suffered much during the recent financial panic _ and depression, the fans -always managed to keep enough money on ''...-: ;** hand to enjoy. their; favorite pastime. . Every one of the four teams in the league made good money. All of them, with the exception of the pennant winning club, proved a sorry # disap- pointment to \u25a0 the fans which supported it, but j even - with diamond reverses to be contended with, none of the teams ever suffered from lack of patronage, either here or' on their.' own diamonds.
