AT the depot yesterday good-natured
Cainaman inquired of a reporter, How
the election go?" Receiving reply that it
was very close, he expressed himself: "All
light bimeby, two, tlee days, we know, 1
guess. | bet some money with a white
man about it. Two year ago 1 bet on
Blaine-you sabe Blaine? 1 bet $50 on
Blaine. Blaine no catchee job, and no
get money. This time think bet $40 on
Swift. Pletty good man, Swift, but p'laps
lose only lose S10!'
The San Francisco Examiner, referring
to the game between the Alta Baseball
Club and the GREENWOOD & Morans, at
Stockton, says: A" 1t now seems as if it is
impossible for the G. & MS and Atlas to
meet amicably on the diamond. The
game at Stockton yesterday was disgrace
full affair. Van Court should never have
been allowed to umpire, it being we'll
know fact that he was in sympathy with
the Oakland boys. The fact that the latter
brought him with them shows that they
did not desire fair play. 1t appears as if
they were afraid to lose the money staked
upon the game" The Oakland club ''catches
it" in like manner from all the papers, ex-
cept those at their home, and even they
find it difficult to explain why the G. &
Ms insisted upon Van Court being umpire
so strenuously, wiring on Saturday night
that they would not 60 to Stockton if he
was not accepted.
