couched in Language entirely free from

Board of Trustees of the State Library to
REQUIRE at my hands orders for books, to
be drawn by third parties, implying my
personal responsibility for their safe return,
and that should refuse to sign such orders.
For thereportorial licensein dressing the

1t may be suggested as little singular,

California League will come to close, and
the contest for the pennant between the
Sacramento, San Francisco and Oakland
clubs promises to be an exciting sffair The
clubs are now practically tied for first place,
and though Stockton cuts nc figure so far
as her chances for winning ere concerned,
yet she will play play the most important
part in the League race from now to the
end of the season.
The other clubs depend upon winning
almost every game they play with the clan
from Stockton, and it behooves the latter
team to pull together and win as mary
games as possible.
If it were an assured fact that Stockton
would lose every game she played from
now on, then the Sacramen to club stands
the best chance for winning the penRant,
as it has twice as many games to play with
Stockton as any other club. In order that
those who are figuring on the result can
estimate correctly, below is given the num-
Der of games which each club will play
with the others:
The season closes on November 23a, with
a game atSan Francisco between the Oak
lands and San Franciscos. and morning
game at Stockton and one in the afternoon
here-both between the Sacramentes and
Stooksons.
The Sacramentos will play lE more
games with Stockton, 9 with Oaklandaand
8 with San francisco.
The'0aklands will play with Stockton,
9 with Sacramento and II with San Fran
cisco.
The San Franchises will be pitted in
more games with Stoc kton, u with Oak
