There is prospect OF trouble over the
game to be played in this city on the after
noon previous to Admission day. The Oak
lands and San Franciscos are scheduled to
play in Oakland on the morning of the 9th
of Septem Der, but Finn and Robinson lately
announced that the game will be played at
the Haight-s!reet grounds September sth.
Mr.. Enright of the Sacramento Club
yesterday said if the bay man
ayers carry out this sche me he
will bring his own Climb and the Stocktons
down to this city on the Sth OF September
and play the two interior clubs at Central
park. He said Sacramento has postponed
game with Oakland, and Robinson some
time ago agreed to play 1t oil at the Halght-
street grounds September Sth. Enright says
Robinson has broken faith with him, and
Will not be satisfied unless his team is given
an extra Sunday game in this city. Ii this
concession is not made, then there viii be
two California league games on rival
grounds the day previous to Admission
day.
When Stickney arrived in Oakland from
Stockton last night he was suspended BY
Manager Robinson for an indefinite period.
The reasons assigned by the Colonel for
this action are INSTRUMENTATION and lndlt-
ferent ball playing. The so-called insub0r-
dnation occurred in last Saturdays game.
The third baseman was at bat, and Norris
O'Neil who was on the bench, attempted to
instruct Bill how he should hit. Stickney
who is the quietest and most gentlemanly
member of the Oakland team, resented
ONeiPS remarks and facing his Captain.
said: Ii can hit the ball will, and if l
can'tI wont, aud that is all there is about
it," Bill then made long safe hit to left
field and later was forced out at second
base. When he returned to the bench he
made some wrathful remark to ONell,
who did not reply. Where the Indifferent
playing comes In, no one outside of Robin
son and O'Neil can tell Yesterday and
Saturday Stickney accepted eleven chances
without an error and made three safe hits.
There is one piece Of baseball leHsla-
ton that l would like to see rushed through
at the next meeting" said Manager Tom
LOTUS the other day. "The sooner they
give managers the right to 90 on the field
and actively coach the men In their charge
the better the game will be off. 1t Is big
handicap to be compelled to sit on the
bench and have plays made contrary to
what you would order were you in place
where you could make your wants known.
4 manager is always blamed for his teams
mispiays. Why not give him chance to
run his team? Then, if anything goes
wrong, be can be held responsible. | hope
the day will soOn come when a manager
can go on the coaching lines and there issue
his orders. There wil then be no chance
for mistakes. The game Is bound to come
70 it some day. The league should take the
initiative in the matter."--N. Y. Mail and

William COughlin tRoscoe) ~ pitch bali
for the San Francisco team for the balance
of this season. Manager Finn and the
twirler came to financial understanding
Saturday night and Cuughlin accepted the
terms offered him. He will sign a Frisco
contract to-day. Roscoe would have been
put in the box yesterday but as he has not
touched ball for two weeks he concluded
to get in practice before pitching again.
With the three pitchers Finn will carry for
the balance of the year, Lookabaugh, Nc
Carthy and CoughliD, the home team has as
favorable prospects Of finally attaining first
pi.Ce do Oakiduu OF sacramento.
During the San Francisco Sacramento
game of August 10th Manager Finn and
President Enright INDUCED in great deal
OF good natared joshng. The subject
changed to Everett when Enright said:
"Pshaw, Nike. that man can't play ball;
be is too high in the air." Watch him."
said Finn, and the words had hardly left
his lips when Everett made a great back
ward running catch. Ii he had not been a
tall man he could not have made the put
out.
Otto Young was given his release yester-
day evening by Manager Finn. When
Conghlin was secured the local manager
said he could not carry four pitchers, and
as Young has not been hitting at all lately
and was pitching Indifferent ball his decap-
itation was decided upon. Not long ago 1t
was Lookabaugh who had his head in chan
Gerry, but he has been pitching such strong
ball within the past month that Finn is 10th
to part with him.
Stockwell was released by Robinson last
night. he has offers from the Stockton Di-
rectors to take charge of the Slough City
Team, and II satisfactory arrangements can
pc made Will accept the position. Stockton
Is sadly IN need of a competent man ID
handle the players, and Stockwell would
fill the bill nicely. Len also has offers from
the Northern Pacific League at a good
salary, and il Stockton does not offer o
suitable salary he may 10 North.
