BASEBALL BUFFERS.
SAN FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND MAN
Ayers FEAR B0RCHERs.
Managers, but in Vain-This
Weeks Ball Games.

The Sacramentos will leave for San
Francisco this morning to play three games
of ball at the Bay. To- day, at the Haight-
street grounds, they will try conclusions
with the San Franchises, and tomorrow
the club will play the Oaklands at Emery
vile.
On Saturday the Sacramentos and Oak
lands will contest in San Francisco. For
the Senators, Harper will pitch the first
and third games and Hoffman the second
Bowman will do the catching for the club,
his finger, though somewhat swollen, be-
ing in good enough condition TO permit his
doing the backstop work. Ward will play
on the bench.
On Sunday, in this city, the San Fran.
ciscos and Sacramentos will come together,
and it is expected that an immense crowd
of people will be in attendance. George
Borchers will occupy the box for the Sem
ators, and SHOW what he can do against
such a batting team as the club from the
metropolis. Bowman will receive Borch-
ers' delivery, and if the fielders support
their pitcher land there is reason to believe
they wilD the contest will be a hard-fought
one. The game will commence at o'clock
and ladies will be admitted free.
THE ROW ABOUT BoRcHERs.
The Oakland and San Francicco mana
gers are still declaring that they will not
allow Borchers to play with the Sacramento
Club, as the following from the Call indi-
Gates Robinson, Finn and Harris say
most emphatically that Borchers will not
be permitted to finish the season with Sac
ramento, as he is suspended by Stockton,
and is reserved player by Spokane for
next year."
The Sacramento managers are at loss to
know why Henry Harris is meddling with
the affairs of the California League. and
still more what claim he has on Borchers,
or what right he has to assume such
authority. He is not even a Director in
the League, but acts as if he considers he
has VOTE
The Sacramento managers are Just as de-
termined to play Borchers as they are to
win the pennant, and declare that, in spite
of the objections-which they claim are
groundless-the Sacramento boy will pitch
during the balance of the season for the
Senators. He is to be paid a handsome
salary, and promises 10 do his best to win
the pennant for the team which represents
his home. If the Bay managers are
determined to come down to details regard
ing Borchers' career during the past year,
the Sacramento managers can show them a
contract signed over year ago BY Borchers
which would rather surprise them. Bor-
cheers belongs to Sacramento without the
clubs signing him again, and there is
nothing in the charge that Stockton sus-
pended him. Stockton valves all claim to
Borchers, and notwithstanding the fact
that he is reserved by the Spokane Club.
the Sacramento owners have a rontract
signed one year ago by R5rchers which. if
they wished to Enforce it, might hinder him
from playing with Spokane next year.
THEY ARE AFRAID OF HIM.
Concerning the question in controversy
the Post says:
George Borchers will probably come to
this city this week with the Senators and
pitch in one of the games, despite the OBJ
jections raised by Finn and Robinson. The
only remedy the bay managers have is 10
protest against the appearance of Borchers
and try to have the games thrown out in
which he participates. Finn enters his
protest on the ground that Borchers is
reserved player in another league, being
held by Spokane Falls for next season.
Finn is now opposing the very thing he
was guilty of himself at the close of the
season of 1890. He engaged dad" Clark
to pitch the last games of the series when
that player was held in reserve by the
Omaha management Robinson objects to
Borchers because he was not in California
before the 18th of August. Both the bay
managers are afraid that Sacramento will
win the championship with Borchers in
the box"
ROBINSON s INCONSISTENCY.
1t is said that Notwithstanding Manager
Robinson's strenuous objections to other
managers importing Eastern players, he
may have Tom Power out west inside of a
couple of weeks, and endeavor to play him
in the Oakland nine. Power is at present
playing in the American Association, but
the series will end this week. At anv rate
it is understood that both Power and Dan.
ny Long will start at once for California.
PLAYERS ON A JAG.
Holiday and Fudger of the Stockton bal
club went into a restaurant in that town or
Monday evening, and after getting some
what hilarious assaulted the waiter, beat
ing him in g brutal manner. Both mer
were arrested and tried in the Police Court
Holiday was fined $50, and Fudger $40
and in addition to this Manager Sharp con
cluded to deduct $50 from the salary o
each of them for their disgraceful conduct
TIE wEBFooT MANAGER.
1t is claimed that Manager Harris, of thu
Portland Club, will be a Director in thu
California League next year, and represen
the club from San Jose. Others who pre-
tend to know something about San Josel
chances for getting into the League, say
that Harris will not manage the club o.
have anything TO do with it.
PROPOSED EXCURSION.
The Sacramento club may get up an ex
carsion to go from here to San francisco
on either the % or 9th of November Or
the former day they play the San Fran
ciscos, and on the oh they are scheduled 4
contest with Oakland.
