THEY ARE NOT SLIDING.
THE sACRAMENT0s DEMONSTRATE
THAT THEY ARE STILL IN IT.
San Francisco Given Sound Drubbins
Stockton Loses, as Usual, to
Oakland-The Scores

Friday night. after the irglorious defeat
of the Sseramen,os by the baseball aggre-
CATION from San Francisco, Manager En-
wright was seen moving up X street to-
ward the players lodgings carrying large
cumbersome parcel. BE stopped not I'M
til he arrived at the door of Captain Staple
tons apartments. Here said he, take
this and divide it up with the rest of The
boys" and Immediately he left. The
package did not contain cigars. No-ten
smaller packages were found within and
each was labeled GINGER"
What was the result?
Why, who ever wished to see the Sacra-
mentos do up party of rash visitors in
better style than they did yesterday. They
simply walked all over Mr.. Firms aggre-
CATION, Notwithstanding the fact that he
latter had the justly famous ex-senator,
x-Colonel, ex-Chicsgoan-Roscoe Cough
lin-in the box. Senator Harper toYed
with tine visitors, and only gave them three
little hits, while behind him the other
Senators devoured nearly everything that
came theirsway.
The visitors lost heart and didu't care
whether school kept or not. They made
errors, but that was not what lost them the
game, by any means. 1t was the timely
hard hitting of the Senators that did it, 10
say nothing of their work in the field.
Bowman still being on the sick list,
McHale played behind the bat and did
very well.
DAILY batted like fiend. Out of the
eleven hits made of Roscoe Coughlin's de-
livery four of them belong to Daily. He
played good game at short too making
several of his usual brilliant stops.
Reiiz, too, played splendid game in the
field, though he did not accomplish much
with the stick. In the eighth inning,
while at bat, he was struck on the back of
the head by pitched ball and knocked
senseless. After several minutes applica-
ton of cold water he came to and was
taken to the bench. In the next half of
the inning. however, he bravelv walked
out on the diamond and resumed his place
at second base, amid laundering applause
from the grand stand.
What did Roberts do? Why, he only
tapped the ball for little home run in the
second inning when the bases were full.
That's ALL
Stapleton, Goodenough, Cedar and Hofi-
man all had hand in the fun, and aequit-
ted themselves well.
For the visitors Hanley, Veach, Everett
and Ebright carried off the fielding honors.
Shea, also played his usual nice game at
second, and did about all of the stick work
for his team. Out of the three hits made
off Harper, two of them were Shea's.
Following is the official score:

tracks,, but with training be can increase
this to seven and half and eight feet.
This is where the gain comes in with good
runner rs against novice. The latter will
work his legs as fast, if not faster, than his
rival, and may bepossessed of as good wind
and strength, but at the finish he finds, to
his chagrin, that he is beaten by several
yards It's mere sum in arithmetic-tbe
good runner had the longest stride, and, all
other matters being equal, he could not
help winning. The novice lost two feet in
every stride.
To run with the arms down low not only
binders the runner, but causes him to
swerve and break his gait. Bend the
always, instead of putting all their strength
in the backward movement.
NEEDFUL ARTICLES.
A sprfnter's equipment is very simple,
yet it is important that it should be per-
feet. A pair of spiked, heelless running
shoes should be procured. if possible. In
the hands corks should be held. They
should be long enough to reach across the
palm and stout enough for the fingers
to fit nicely when circled about
them. In running a Splinter squeezes
these corks as though he were

give the muscles more of tension, make
them more alert to action, and to give the
brain full power over the body. By doing
this it becomes easier for the runner to
carry his breath for 100 yards, as most of
them do at that distance.
There is a difference of opinion among
100 yard runners as to the advantages or
disadvantages of breathing during the race.
But the majority coucede that the breath
should be held. The theory is advanced
that at each breath the runner relaxes his
speed for second and then shoots ahead
again, while the one who holds his breath
has an even. steady gait all through.
Eleven or twelve seconds is not long time
to hold the breath, and beginners should
practice it.
About training, little need be said.
Weeks of stinted diet, violent exercise and
rubbing down are all we'll enough for prize
fighters, but they are not necessary in the
shaping of a runner All the latter need
do, provided he is a mau of good steady
habits, Is to take little spin several times
week to improve his wind and harden
his muscles. He will do just as well then
as he would if he had gone through rig
orous course of training. if not better.

AN INFANTS DEATH.
Alleged Sad Outcome of a Police Cour
Case,

Case.
Papers are being drawn up for damage
suit, which promises to be of rather sem
sational order. The plaintiffs will be Torevio
BisceDcio and wife, who reside at Second
and n streets, and the defendant Mrs.
Miller, a neighbor.
About week ago Mrs. Miller had BIZ
scencio arrested ON charge of battery,
swearing that he had thrown missile
through her window and injuring her.
When the case came up in the Police Court,
however, Biscencio promptly proved an
alibi and was discharged. The arrest, it is
alleged, threw Mrs. Biscencio into high
state of excitement. She was compelled to
go to Court as witness, and having no
help had to carry her four-months- old baby
with her. The day was very warm. and
this, together with the mothers nervous
state, threw the child into commissions. On
Wednesday last the infant died, and the
physician who attended it-Dr. Cluness-
said death was the result of the mothers
agitated condition.
Heavy damages, it is said, will be asked,
both for the death of the child and for
false i'm orisonment.

an uncle suicided while out OF his mind

VILLAINOUS ASSAULT.
A Little Girl Barely Escapes the Clutches
of a Brute

A Little Girl Barely Escapes the Clutches
of Brute
1t was learned yesterday that on the pre-
ceding evening a most diabolical outrage
was attempted in Capitol Park by an IN.
known scoupdrel. About o'clock, just as
the shades of night were setting in, little
daughter of Charles Schmidt, editor and pro.
prietor of the Herold, was passing through
the Park on the line of Twelfth street
when rough-looking man sprang at her
from behind tree.
The child eluded him, and her screams
for help brought couple men to her assist.
ance from the direction of the Capitol
building. The little girl then ran away
She says the man who tried to catch hel
pointed knife at her, and she was certain
the other men disarmed him, but she did
not wait to see.
The police were informed of the affair
yesterday morning by the son of Mr.
Schmidt, but the men to whom the child
owed her escape from the scoundrel have
not made themselves. known. Therefore
there is no accounting for their action in
not arresting the fellow.
Mr.. Schmidt said last evening that his
daughter adhered to her statement, and
that it could be relied upon. There are moi
few citizens who believe that it would be
good idea to organize and rid the city Of
the thugs and footpads that infest the com,
munity. 1t would not require any detect,
i've ability to identify them.

There has been considerable backward

Doy, the Chinaman who claims that Chin
Yum slashed his hand with knife on Fri
day. Yesterday the case was continued
ia Justice Henry's Court until Monday.
The complainant acts as if he did moi
want TO prosecute the case. 1t is not I'M
likely that he has been intimidated by the
boss Cinnamon, as they have way of their
own of Jisposing of such matters.

the quickest man living at seventy

of mile in fifty seconds-very quick
time-and he moved at pace that seemed
to him an easy jog. but which was
to quarter man very fast. In a l25-yard
race, however, Quirk would give ont at
ninety yards. 1t was beyond his "full-
speed" distance. and yet he would be at home
again in still longer distance. The same
could be said of many other noted runners.
Still, others could run way beyond ~
yards at full speed. George Smith, OF fitts-
burg, for instance, has been known to run
$50 yards through at full speed, and not
only that. but he would make the last
thirty yards in better time than any other
part of the distance.
VALUE OF LONG STRIDE.
All spriniers run on their toes, and those
who understand their business run with
the body we'll forward. A long stride
comes next in importance. The arms give
the stride, but they must be properly used.
One who understands how to use them can
stride fully half yard further than one
who does not. Another thlng-the head

with the pace man is making. Heis Just

goes up he has quit. The bead should be
carried well forward. and should be kept
there until the end of the race. No man
can run fast with his head back.

Reclamation ON TYLER Island.

The Rio Vista News states that ex. Senator
Cornelius Cole, who is the owner of SOC
acres on Tyler Island, contemplates drain
ing Broad slough. If he succeeds this
will reclaim Tyler Island by stopping the
tides, which is all that is necessary, as he
has a good tide levee on the front sufficient
for all ordinary purposes. The highest
water last winter ran over in five or six
places. There is an advantage on this
island over many otbers-it can be irri.
gated at most any stage OF the tide and
when too wet it can be easily drained.
