Warning League Magnstes An Albright
Meeting Which Ended in Smoke
Another Consultation.

Over 1900 people went out to Snowflake
Park yesterday afternoon to see the prac-
tice work of the Sacramento ball club, and
from appearances it is quite certain that
the opening game next Sunday weather

sport. The diamond was in fair condition
yesterday, but the ouffield was rough and
IN places there were mud-puddles which
obstructed, to some extent, the fielding.
All eleven members of the club were on
hand, each arrayed in different kind of
uniform. There were catchers Bowman
and McHale, pitchers Harper and Zeigler,
and fielders Stapleton, Reitz, Cedar DAILY,
Roberts and Goodenough. All appeared
in good condition excepting Cedar, who
was limping from recent strain of his lief.

nifty to show what he could do in the bat
ting line, Harper and Zeigler pitching to
them. Rei'z, the second baseman, became
at immediate fayorite with the audience,
and his neat fielding and accurate throwing
provoked the greater share of the applause.
Roberts and Goodenough did brilliant out
held work. Daily at short appeared to be
tritie stiff and slow, but it is probable that
by next Sunday he will have all the kinks
out and will redeem himself. He is ca

shows, and is great hitter.
THE WARNING MAGNATEs.
As was stated in the SUNDAY UNION, the
Directors of the California League met at
the Golden Eagle Hotel Saturday night to
make the tinala arrangements for the OPEN
ing OF the season and the adoption of a
schedule of games, but up to the hour of
going to press 20 agreement had been ar
rived at. The meeting remained in session
all night and was very lively one
Messrs. Enright, Robinson and Finn, who
composed the Schedule Committee, each
had schedule to Offer and each commended
that his was fair one. The disposition on
the part OF the Bay representatives 10 take
the cream and leave nothing for the scoun.
try teams was bitterly opposed by the
Sacramento and Stockton Directors. The
bay men We're stubborn, and the result
was that no agreement was arrived at, and
Robinson, Finn and President None left
for San Francisco on the first train yester-
DAY morning in pet.
1t appears, however, that upon their ar
rival at the metropolis they were con-
fronted by Mr.. Harris, who owns the msjor
portion OF the league stock, and that gem
tleman announced that they must go back
TO Sacramento and come to an agreement.
He had learned that the two Country
teams were likely to draw out of the league
and start new one, unless they were
given what they wanted on the schedule.
This would be disastrous to the league at
this late day, and an agreement was neces-
sary at all hazards.
Messrs. None and Robinson refused to
return to the Capital City, claiming that
they had other business to attend to. But
Mr.. Finn was willing, SO he and Mr..
harris boarded the next train for this city
and arrived last evening.
Last nights proce edings were intended
to be very secret, and in consequence the
hotels as a meeting place were avoided.
After Mr.. Enright bad been notified of the
presence of the Messrs. Finn and Harris
he visited them at the Capital Hotel and
shortly afterward all three disappeared
mysteriously. 1t was not until near mid
night that they were discovered by re-
porter in rear room of Mr.. Enrights
office on street. When asked for state
ment of the situation that gentleman in
formed the reporter that meters were still
in chaotic condition, but they believed
they had reached an understanding by
which all differences could be settled be-
fore daylight. What this understanding
was they would not say, but judging from
the happy countenances of Messrs. Finn
and Harris it was evident that they had
gotten over the opposition league business
all right
The meeting was still in session when
the RECORD UNION went to press.
