TURS OF THE TIDE.
SACRAMENTO BRACES DIP AND MAKES
A NEW START.
Oakland Defeated in an Interesting
Game = Some of the Heaviest
Batting Done This Season.

The Oaklands were treated to genuine
surprise yesterday, the Sscramentos defeat
ing them by a score of IL to 1. 1t was ex-
pected that the Sacramento nine would
find Aldrich puzzler, but instead they
came near losing the ball, the left.handed
curves being handled with marked in
genuity by the home aggregation. The
score is decorated with home-runs, three
baggers, doubles and singles, and of
course these hard-hitting contests are
just the ones that best amuse the
spectators and create intense interest.
Burke, too, was touched up pretty lively,
but he kept the ten hits made off his deliv-
cry scattered so well that the visitors could
only score four Of their men.
After the second inning, when the Sacra-
mentos scored six runs, the game was
rather one-sided, but the interest was kept up
by lively hitting, fielding and base-running.
Newbert, especially, distinguishing himself
both in batting and fielding, and played
one of the prettiest games of his life. He
covered almost the whole of the diamond
in his fielding and took every chance with
out an error. He gracefully drove out four
Dagger, and Long was hunting for the ball
in the corner of the right field fence when
Newbert crossed the plate after making the
circuit. A two-bagger and single by him
afterwards added materially to the score of
the home club.
Burke, Veach, Roxburg and McSorley
also did some good work with the stick.
The latter only played till the fourth inn
ing, but during this time he hit safely
twice. In the fourth inning Long, who |
was running the bases, slid toward third
with his feet first in such manner as to
strike McSorley on the ankle, injuring him
quite severely. A deep cut was inflicted |
on the ankle, and his keee was badly
sprained, necessitating his retirement from
the grounds. Roberts played in McSorley's
place. and Balsz WAS taken from the bench |
to play in left field.
Roxburg and Daley both rendered their
pitchers fair support back of the bat. The
latter was particularly accurate in throw
ing to bases, and Roxburg gathered in
some very wicked wild throws made by
Burke.
For the Oaklands Cahill was assigned to
guard the third corner, and he made three
beautiful errors in six chances.
Hardle as usual made the most number
of hits for the visitors, but none of them
were more than singles.
Sylvester, the ex-right fielder of the Sac
ramentos, doomed up in the left garden for
the Oaklands, having been signed by Col
onel Robinson. He erred in the one
chance he had, and good share of his
time was occupied in chasing the ball to
the back fence, particularly the liners" of
Veach. In the last inning, however, he
caught ball squarely, which Burke
tossed over the plate, and secured home
run on his hit.
O'Neil played good game at short,
making several fine stops. Following is
the score:

SETTLED OUT OF COURT.
The Case Against W. p. Harlow Dis
missed by Judge Armstronp

The Case Against W. p. Harlow Dis
missed by Judge Armstrong.
When the case of the People against W j..
2. Harlow, on information of obtaining
property under false pretenses, was called
in Department One of the Superior Court
yesterday counsel for the defendant moved
for dismissal of the case. The complain
ing witness, Mrs. Martha E. Smith, stated
to the Court that Mr.. Harlow had rendered
full satisfaction to her wherewith the
Court ordered the defendant discharged
and the case dismissed
1t will be remembered that some months
ago Mrs. Martha +. Smith caused the arrest
OF Mr.. Harlow on the charge stated, alleg-
ing that she had given him deed to some
I'll Dorado property in consideration of a
cash payment of $500 and the promise of a
deed to tract of land near Rocklin, Placer
county. In the examination that followed
the defendant denied that he had promised
to give the deed, as alleged, as he did not
himself have title to the land, it being in
litigation in the United States Land Office.
Justice Devine, however, held Harlow to
answer on the charge. 1t is said he has re-.
decided to Mrs. Smith the FL Dorado prop
erty, and thus her cause of action is re-
moved. Harlow has also the costs to paw
IN the case, amounting to 1921.

GENERALLY FAVORED.

The Courthouse Purchase Proposition
Seemingly Popular One.
The suggestion made through the
RECORD UNION yesterday, that the county
might do well to sell the present Court
house to the city and erect new one close
by, seems to meet with the appreciation of
the public. Every person whose opinion
on the subject has been asked expressed
himself as in favor of the plan. Many
think that, as soon as the city debt incubus
can be removed, the proper thing TO do
will be to consolidate The city aud county
governments; and, even if this should not
be done, that the offices should be as close
together as possible. The city now pays
5000 (or more) year rental for offices Tor
Justices of the Peace, and about $500 for
the City School Superintendent, and as
much more for the City Board of Health
Ali Of this money could be saved TO the
taxpayers if we had a city hall large
enough to accommodate all the officials.
All agree that the present Courthouse is
too small for county purposes, and that it
is only question of time as to when a
new one will have TO be erected. The place
generally preferred for new Courthouse
! is the western half of the block on which
the present county buildings stand; but

HONORING THE DEAD,

The Grand Army Posts to Erect Sol
diers' Monument in the Cemetery.
For the last three Memorial DAYS the
Collection Committee of the G. A. R. have
had surplus of funds, amounting to sew
eral hundred dollars, which has been
placed in the hands of the Cemetery Com
mittee. They, thinking it should be used
for memorial purposes only, have pur-
chased fine blue granite monument,
which, at the base, will be four feet two
inches square, and when in position will
stand twelve feet high and will weigh 200
pounds. 1t will be placed on concrete
base six feet square and six feet deep.
Should the funds admit they propose to
put bronze zinc figure, life size, of SOL
der with a musket standing at parade
rest, which will make the shaft, when
completed, eighteen feet in hight.
Some time in the near future the Grand
Army Posts, with their auxiliaries and the
drum corps, will march to their plot in the
City Cemetery and have formal unveil-
ing, at which time the public will have an
opportunity of seeing what their gener-
osity has done and the use the old soldiers
have made of portion of the funds in
trusted TO them

The Beats" and the Bugs" played
remarkable game at the Thirty-second
street grounds yesterday afternoon. The
newest of rules prevailed, and as a result,
the records were badly demorslized. The
Bugs won, the score at the finish of the
seventeenth inning being 81 to Al. As the
score will indicate, the game was close and
exciting, and consumed 4 hours and 16
minutes of time. The " Beats" led for
ten innings, but their opponents were stub
born and finally overhauled the Beats
and beat them. The features OF the
game were McShooley's throw over the
first baseman's head-the ball not being
found again; the marvellous and scientific
muffing OF Smiles Crymore's acrobatic
catch of fly, and Goodnights double
home run two circuits of the bases being

No Fish,

There will be no more prosecutions of
violators of the fish laws for while. An
error has been discovered in the wording
of the Act which renders it wholly ineffec-
tive. The section referred to reads thus !:
Every person who shall cast, extend, or
set, any seine or net of any kind, for the
catching of, in any river, stream, or slough
of this State, etc." The word /" fish I"
should follow catching of"-but it
doesn't. 1t might mean the catching of"
a cold for all that can be taken from the
section as it is worded. 1t is, perhaps, I'M
necessary to add that the so-called Act was
passed by the last Legislature.

FIFTEEN TO SIX.
San Francisco Enjoys Picnic With the
stockton Team.


Stockton Team.
SAN Francisco, June 22d.-San Fran
cisco and Stockton played miserable field
ing game to-day, which, taken together
with the fact that the home nine concen-
trated their safe stick work, gave Manager
Firms team an easy victory. The box
work of Baker and Meegan was about even,
and the visitors could only find the home
pitcher after two men had been put out.
In the eighth inning the champions made
squirt, hitting freely and safely, but the
lead of the San Franchises was too much
for them. Little base running was per-
formed the men appearing to be afraid of
the catchers. The feature of the game was
a double play between Levy and Powers.
The former caught long fly with the sun
shining in his eyes, and by long throw
put out Whitehead, who had run towards
second. Following is the score:

Painful Accident to a Labo rer.

Yesterday morning, about half-past nine
o'clock, Mike Maloney, laborer employed
by the railroad company, had one of his
legs broken in terrible manner. A num-
Der of men were engaged in unloading
rails from fiat-car, when one of them
rolled down on the mans foot, which was
wedged in such a manner in the track that
he could not remove it. The rail struck
his leg just above the ankle, breaking it
short off. The bone was severely shattered.
The injured man was removed to the Rail-
road Hospital, where prompt medical serv-
ice was rendered. 1t is thought that he
will not lose the use of his leg.
