TROUBLE IN THE LOCAL CLUB OVER
THE IL O'CLOCK ORDINANCE.
Several of the Players Were Out
Late Hunting Errors and
Were Fined.

late, and despite the seemingly placid out
ward appearances, fears of an eruption
more or less serious are entertained by the
knowing ones.
Prior to last Sundays magnificent game
at San Francisco, in which the Senators
numerically walloped the Oaklands, the
Sacramento boys played several nnaccount-
ably poor games. Manager Zeigler, when
called to account by proprietors Enright
and Ginsberg, stated that owing to his
having been ailing for some time, he had
been unable to keep his weather eye on
his men. The two Directors, however,
were not satisfied with this and proceeded
to investigate for themselves. They found
it rather difficult work, owing to the
tendency of the hosts of friends the
ball-players have gathered around them,
to shield the boys. By dint of hard work,
though, enough was learned to convince
the management that some of the players
were not faithfully obeying one of the
rules-namely, the one which provides
that each player must be tucked in his little
bed by IL P NJ
Stapleton and Roberts were among the
derelicts, and the magement warned them
that repetition would mean a fine of $50.
THE MANAGEMENT RAMPANT.
Another losing game was played, and
then Messrs. Enright and Gipsberg were
hopping" mad. They organized them
selves into an amateur detective bureau,
and started out that night, after IL o'clock
First they stole up into the lodgings of
StapletOn and Roberts. Stapleton was in,
but unluckily Roberts had forgotten what
time it was, and had loitered on the corner.
They waited in the neignporhood for about
fifteen minutes, but as he did not put in an
appearance, Mr.. Enright pulled out his
little memorandum book and made an
entry something like this:
Roberts, $50.
The detective bureau then headed for
street, where Bowman and ReitZ roomed,
The landlady was aroused and when Mr..
Enright inquired if Messrs Reitz and Bow
man were IN, she promptly replied, Yes,
sir. Mr.. Enright then stated that he
wished to see Mr.. ReitZ. as he had an i'm
portant telegram for him. This Hurried
the landlady somewhat, and she ventured
the suggestion that the two dodgers might
have stepped out again for few moments"
The detectives insisted upon going to the
room and the landlady finally admitted
them. A knock on the dodgers door met
with no response. Mr.. Enright then tried
the knob and the unlocked door swung
open. No ReitZ or Bowman.
The little memorandum book came out
again and
Reitz and Bowman, S25.
TWO SOUND sLEEPERs.
The lodgings of Cedar and DAILY were
next visited, but these two young gentle
men warned the detective bureau by their
sonorous and harmonious shores that they
had been in bed some time.
1t was not deemed necessary to hunt ND
such model young men as Harper, Good
enough or McHale, and besides the man
agement was tired.
1t is needless to say that there was
grand pow-wow next day. Manager Zeigler
was hauled up before the management and
subjected to lecturing, and he got his re-
venge subsequently by reading the riot
act'' to the players.
Some of the players treat the matter as a
good joke on themselves, while others
the more sensitive ones-feel somewhat
'sore" over what they consider small
piece of business.
Friends of the players sympathize with
them in so far as the Staying out after
time" is concerned, and many opinions
have been expressed that IL o'clock is one
hour too early for bedtime. AS an illus
tration it is set forth that should player
attend the theater it would be impossible
for him to see the entire play and be in bed
by IL o'clock. And should he be fortunate
in the possession of best girl and de-
sire to see her safely home, as all true gall
lants do, it would be midnight at the earli-
est before he could reach his lodgings.
Several of the ball-tossers have hit upon
scheme to get even on the detective bureau
They have provided themselves with stuffed
clubs, and they declare that the next time
the bureau is caught nosing around
their lodgings it will be mistaken for a
brace of burglars and dealt with accord
ingly.
