QUARRELsoME BALLTossERs.

Yesterdays Gamo Turns Out to be a
Grand Kicking" Contest.
About twelve hundred people assembled
at Snowflake Park yesterday TO see the ball
match between the Pioneers and the Green
hood & Morans of San Francisco. Both
clubs brought splendid mines into the field.
and the spectators felt that they were to
witness good game. 1t cannot be said
that the game was not interesting. for it
was very much SO; but little less kicking
and more real work would please an audi
ence better. As it was. there was a great
deal of kissing and guying, and the game
was delayed several times on account of
protests, etc. AT the last half of the ninth
inning the score stood IL to in favor of
the g. d NJ. s. and it was the Pioneers last
turn to the bat. By terrific hitting thew
scored five runs, the last two however. be-
ing where the kick came in. Three had
already been scored and TWO men were on
bases, when the next Pioneer batter hit the
ball hard smack, but ii was fielded
quickly and forwarded to the home plate
and Hardie touched the runner out. The
Pioneers, however, claimed that their man
had been interfered with, and Fisher, the
umpire, allowed the two runs. Upon this
ueclslon lne u. N NJ. refused TO play, and
proceeded to leave the grounds. The um-
pire gave them five minutes to return, and
by the end of the time they had changed
their minds and were out on the diamond
ready to play. who has the ball?" was
now the question. Shea, of the G. & Ms,
had it, but refused to give it up. and the
umpire awarded the game to the Pioneers,
by score of 9 to 0. Thus ended the game.
The features were Cooney's fine running
catch of Hardie's fly, Perriers remarkable
one-handed catch of Strunz's liner, and the
heavy batting of both clubs, as record OF
30 base hits show. Following is the score :.

TIRED OF LIFE.
W. Il. Carrigan, Discouraged and PENN
less, Commits Suicide.


A printer by the name of W. R. Carrigan
suicided in a room at the Central House
Thursday night. He retired about mid
night, and nothing more was sesn or heard
of Kim. Friday all day his room remained
locked. Saturday Mr.. Hornlein knocked
at his door, and, getting no answer, forced
it open, and found Carrigans lifeless form
living On the bed By his side was a small
bottle labeled laudauum, which told the
tale. He had removed his coat and shoes,
swallowed the deadly potion, laid down on
his right side and quietly passed over to
the great beyond. He left no letter stating
reasons for the rash act. He was q
member of the Stockton Typographical
Union, in good standing, and had worked
at the case both in Virginia City and at the
Bay. Some TWO or three weeks ago he
came to Sacramento, and during his stay
was on considerable OF q spree. Some of
the typos here had assisted him, and one
became responsible for his room rent. On
Thursday, Uarrigan showing no intention
of SOLDERING up, his friend refused to extend
further assistance Mr. Hornlein had noti-
lied him that he would have TO vacate his
room the next day.
Deceased was about 35 years of age, wore
no beard and had on brown suit of
clothes. 1t is said that he has some rela-
tives residing souewhete III this county.
The remains were taken in charge by the
Coroner, and now lie at the Morgue. An
inquest will be held this evening.

The following clipping from the San

read with interest by our local sportsmen /:
"Our occasional contributor, n EWhite,
contributes to the current american Field
an account of the rabbit drive instituted for
the pleasure of the field trialers last year at
Bakersfield. The article is of very great
interest, even though the modest writer
entirely omits to mention the great part
which he took in the event. Always CON
servative, Mr.. White began the drive with
mental reservations, and long after his
companions had given way to excitement,
he moved on, imperturable. But when the
rabbits began charging at him in squad
rons, our even-minded friend warmed up
and cracked away st them with as much
abandon as any one. If he administered
about as many thumps to the tib@ Of the
bystanders as to the vermin, it was no fault
of his. After the drive he was picture of
a warrior. Tufts of rabbit hair covered
him. Gouts of rabbit blood showed his
bloody determination. A fine fuzz of rabbit
hair concealed his corduroys His eyes,
rarely fiery, shone with a steady CLINT that
boded no welfare to more rabbits. He

his Escapads Yesterday.
Frank Robinson few years ago was
respected and held good positions in this
city, but whisky got the best of him and
to day he has the respect of no one and is
disgrace to his relatives, who are all.re-
spectacle people. He has often been ar
rested and allowed TO leave town instead OF
going TO Jail, the commitments being with
held. A few days ago he again turned up
in Sacramento and celebrated the event by
getting on a rousing drunk. He went into
an uptown saloon Saturday and sang out
that he could lick any - =- in
Sacramento" a bystsnder who is six feet
tell and weighs over two hundred hauled
off and knocked him down. Frank vacated
those premises Immediately. He then
went to the Capital Hotel ard tried 10
bum u drink. 4 merchant who was ID
the hotel was asked to treat and when he
refused Frank abused him most shamefGlly
and drew from his pocket Tszor which he
opened and handled in a threatening
manner. a few moments later he crossed
the street to the Golden Eagle cigar store
and offered to shake the dice with the man
in charge. The latter refused and Frank
pulled out the razor, jumped over the
counter and would have murdered the man
had he not eluded his grasp and escaped
through an open door. Robinson chased
the cigar dealer out of his store aud up 10
The corner Of Seventh.
Later in the day he levied contributions
from number of citizens, who, knowing
him to be a dangerous fellow and seeing
the murderous looking razor, acceded TO his
demands in order to get rid OF him.
Yesterday he went to the ball game at
Snowflake Park. A. Leonard, who was
also visitor to the park, tied his buggy
horse to a tree near by. When Robinson
started back for town he was quite weary.
Walking was not very good and so be ap-
propriated Mr.. Leonard's outfit. He drove
to the city in style. He was little too
drunk to drive . spirited horse, and the re-
suit was that he was spilled OUT on X
street in front of the Clunie Opera House.
The horse ran off, smashing the buggy con-
siderably. Frank was pretty badly bruised
about the head and shoulders. Officer
Eidred came along about this time and
took him to the Station house. where he
now is. Later in the day Mr. Leonard
found his horse at Sixth and streets, and
his buggy and portions of the harness on
L street, between Third and Fourth.

\ SERIOUS BLUNDER.
A Lady Nearly Frustrated by n Pat
emf Madeleine

emit Medicine.
A lady well-known in the Western Addition
has been great sufferer for years with in
digestion and dyspepsia. Struck with the
testimonials praising joys Vegetable sarsa-
parilla, she sent for bottle. The druggist,
not having it, talked them into taking another
sarsaparilla. As the leading sarsaparillas use
mineral blood purifiers, the effect of the
emptying of iodide of potash into stomach
already distressingly delicate was disastrous,
almost prostrating her before the mistake was
reetified- She then called upon Mrs. Fowler,
of 3g Ellis street, whose name was among
those cured by joys Vegetable sarsaparilla.
Mrs. Fowler said it was true that it had cured
her. Again reassured, the vegetable COM
pound was sent for and gotten. The gentle
action of its vegetable stimulants upon the
liver, kidneys and digestive organs, and its
warm stomach tonics, were the very things
needed, and she began improving and was
her old self within a fortnight. This sounds
ike fiction, but the names can be given If
necessary.-San Francisco Examiner.
