MUDDY BALL.
SACRAMENTO SCORES A GAME IN
A DRIZZLING Rain.
But With a Lead Of Eight Over San
Francisco the Team Barely
Escapes Defeat.

The Sacramento and San Francisco clubs
started in to play ball at the Haight-street
Park in San Francisco on Saturday in a
| drizzling rain. The grounds were in very
| poor condition, and the bali had no more
than been thrown into play before it was
| covered with mud. Sawdust was distrib-
| uted over the diamond, and an extra lot of
it placed to one side of the pitchers box,
and the ball had to be smothered in the
pile every time before it was pitched. Sac
ramento led off by making four runs in the
first inning. Five more were scored in the
fourth, and five again in the seventh inn
ings. San Francisco scored in the third,
sixth, seventh and ninth innings, and
lacked one run of tying the Sacramento
score.
The game was most disagreeable one
for the players, and therefore not an inter-
esting one for the spectators. Sylvester
played third base for the Sacramentos, Nc
Sorley being disabled. He piled up four
errors, and Veach did the same. However,
under the circumstances, the PLAYING of
any of the nine could not be commented
upon. The bats and balls were covered
with sawdust most of the time, and
the whole game was somewhat
of a burlesque. The Sacramentos wanted
to quit after the fifth inning, in the face of
the rain, and Umpire Young was made
aware of the fact in language perhaps more
forcible than polite but he refused to call
the game, although almost any other Um-
pire would have done so under the circum-
stances.
Up to the ninth inning Burke had al
lowed bet three hits, but in the last inn
ing he could hardly do anything but toss
the ball over the plate, and several hits and
runs were scored. In fact, the Sacramentos
Just pulled through by hairs breadth, al
though they were eight runs in the lead at
the end OF the eighth inning. Following
is the score:

OFF FOR THE EAST.
Departure of the Winters Stable for the
Eastern Circuit.

Departure of the Winters Stable for the
Eastern Circuit.
Theodore Winters stable of thorough
breds, seven in number, including the colt
The Gar, from which great things are ex-
pected in the three-year-old races this sum-
mer, left for the East on Saturday night.
This string of colts, though small in num-
Der, is one of the highest class that ever
left the paddock of one turfman for the
track, and Mr.. Winters refused an offer If
$4,000 for the lot while they were at the
Blood Horse races in San Francisco week
ago. The stable goes under the superin-
tendence of that able turf veteran, ex-
Sheriff A. H. Estill of this county, who
will watch over the horses and their hand
lers throughout the Eastern circuit.
large delegation of the latter's friends
were at the depot to see him off," and he
bears with him the best of wishes of a
large circle of acquaintance for his success
and that of the equine beauties consigned
to his care.
Mr.. Winters has not figured on the turf
east of the Rocky mountains for MANY
years, and his return to the Leading tracks
OF the country is hailed with delight by
turfmen all over the Union. While con-
filming himself of late years to the breeding
of thoroughbreds, his stock, in the hands
of others, has shown to the front on many
hard-fought field and in the best of com
pany, and the racing spirit of the old
veteran has been revived. He now comes
to the front again with stable of grand
colts, and there is little doubt that he will,
while filling his own pockets with Eastern
money, add new fame to that which Cali
fornia has won in the past.
The string goes first to st. Louis, and
after the meeting there will move eastward
and participate in many OF the largest
stakes to be run for on the other side of the
continent. Rancho del Rios and Rancho
del Paso's (Haggin's) colors may reasona-
bly, be expected to show to the front in
many of them.

County Clerk Hamilton testified to having
seen in his office document relating to

An argument ensued between counsel for
the respective parties to the contest over

Mrs. Stevens, and the latter's counsel was
allowed until Friday in which to present
authorities on the point at issue.
Mrs. Stevens counsel offered to prove by
B. Worthington, confidential clerk of the
decedent, that the latter, in making bis
will, intentionally omitted any mention Of
his son and daughter therein, but the Court
declined to receive such testimony.

A HARD SET.
Shooting Scrape Between Toughs in g
Foothil Dive.

Shooting Scrape Between Toughs In q
Foothill Dive.
A telegram from Auburn on Saturday
announced that tragedy had been COM
mitted early on that morning near Penryn,
the result of dance and subsequent brawl
at dive run by one VIM. Rowland, other
wise known as Circus Bill" The den is
the same that became so notorious under
the management of one c. A. Bassett some
time ago. who attempted to kill Della Nc
Rae, and was sentenced to State Prison
therefor.
1t seems that on Friday night tough
gang had collected at this den for dance,
among them an ex.conyict from Nevada,
Brown, and Bill Clark, Rose Leslie and a
female companion called Slivers, from this
city. When the beer and bug-juice had
begun to get in its work on the dancers,
Brown and Clark got into a row, and the
former was shot in three places. He ran
from the house and fell short distance
away, where he lay for some time.
Clark was arrested by Constable Grant, of
Penryn, and taken to Auburn. He declined
to talk about the affair, but it is learned
that the fight occurred over woman
named Agnes Miller, recently one of the
L-street denizens of this city. but who, in
company with Clark, left for Penryn few
days ago, the latter having been driven out
by the police.
At last accounts Brown was reported dy-

THE SPRING MEETING.
The Capital Turf Clubs Opening Post
poned One Day.

The Capital Turf Clubs Opening Post
poned One Day.
The heavy rain of Saturday night, when
the heavens opened their food-gates and
deluged the earth with water, has caused a
postponement for one day in the opening
of the Capital Turf Clubs spring meeting
in this city. The officers of the club visited
Agricultural Park yesterday, and, while
they found it in tolerably fair condition,
concluded that it would be better for all
concerned to defer the opening of the meet
ing for one day. Although not heavy, the
track was packed rather hard by the beat
ing rain, and little loosening up, with a
few hours of sunshine, will greatly i'm
prove it.
Hence, instead of the races commencing
to day, they will commence tomorrow.
This arrangement will not inconvenience
anybody, as the postponement will not
throw the races over until next week. The
programme calls for five days contests, and
instead of concluding on Friday they will
close on Saturday. Turfmen are taking a
great deal of interest in the coming meet
ing, and the citizens of this city should see
to it that the club is strengthened by a
liberal patronage. 1t is safe to say that five
days races between such field of horses
as has been entered for this meeting would
on any of the more prominent Eastern
tracks attract a daily attendance of from
$4,000 to $4,000 persons.
This weeks meeting may be regarded
virtually as the commencement of new
era in spring meetings for this city, and
aside from the sport afforded-it has bust
ness and financial significance of great i'm
portance TO this community.
1t will be seen by telegram from San
Francisco that Ashes famous mare Geral-
dine and Tuppers AL Farrow, are matched
to run mile during the week for 81 900 a
side. AT the San Jose meeting AL Farrow
ran mile in lao, and last week Geraldine
ran at San Francisco in 1:404. A record
splitting race may therefore be looked for.
There are already large number of turf
men in town to witness the races, and
many more will arrive to-day,

Yesterdays Fire.

The alarm of fire at $50 A. NJ. yesterday
was caused by fire in the small cottage of
Dan Cummings, on the south side of E
street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth,
which was total loss. In trying to save
some of his furniture, Mr.. Cummings was
severely burned. On the east side the resi-
dence of Mrs. Hirst suffered some damage
in the roof, as also did the house on the
west, owned by George Higs and occupied
by F. NJ. Jackson. All the parties were in
sured, and it is thought that the damage
will not exceed 81 900.
Again there was trouble with the fire
alarm, and the department lost consider
able time in locating the fire. If some
thing be not done to place the fire alarm
system on an efficient basis, there may be
cause some day to rue the "inoccuous de-
suetude that has been allowed to affiict it.

short-stop, lost the game for his club. Out
OF the seven errors made by his side, five
are attributed to him, and every one of
them was costly. The game, all the way
through, was very interesting, and the
pitchers on both sides did excellent work.
Coughlan pitched the game for Oakland,

whole game, one of them being triple,

home team, and he also did some clever
