Oakland Again Next to the

The Oakland team advanced to second place
in the league struggle yesterday afternoon. and
their ascent in the percentage column was due
10 their defeating Stockton in one-sded.
poorly played contest. The game lasted for two
dreary hours without the slightest bit of excite
ment TO enliven it, ard before the seventh inning
began half of the early spectators had departed.
There was plenty OF hitting, however. but poor
fielding marfed the play from the very start
until the wind up. In the first inning the
Colonies scored seven runs on three bases on
balls, three singles and trio OF bunderS. All
interest in the game was OF course lost then and
there. The Oaklands had a soft snap with XII
roy, finding no trouble whatever In gaugng his
delivery, and hammered his curves all over the
lot. The StocSton's pitchers support was so
loor that he became disguised in the latter part
of the game and merely tossed the ball over the
plate When the Iop-sided affair had terminated
there were sixteen hits scored against him, with
total OF twenty-five bases.
Matt Stanley, promising amateur, was put In
TO catch kiroy. Foet Being on the sick list.
Stanley caught good game, although strange TO
hiroy's richng, aud he gave evidence OF being
a fair III tier. He made TWO base hits.
The Stockton team, with the exception OF
Holiday. played one of its poorest games here,
their errors being so expensive that Oakland
earned only five out of their twenty runs. Per
rOtt in left field had the sun shining in his face
and could not see fly balls batted in his diree-

Carsey was not hit to any extent durlDg the
early stage of the game, and moderated his

Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL.

SACRAMENTO, June 19.-The air was rife with
rumors in town to-day Of the ousting OF General
John McComb Warden of San Quentin Prison,
and The appointment OF ex-Sherif Moses NJ
Drew of this city 10 Ill the vacancy. The
change, according TO the stories, was made by
the State Board of Prison Directors at a secret
sessi on held in San Francisco last night. The
action was alleged TO have been brought about
through the influence of Governor Waterman,
who was credited with having a feeling OF an
tIpatby toward McComb because the latter had
ceased to be in sympathy with the eubernatoriaI
administration, and was said 10 have "gone
back on the Governor generally.
H. T. DeYlin, President Of the board, came up
from the Bay at noon and was seen by a Bee re-
porter this afternoon. Gan l can say is that
General McComb was not removed, and that
neither Mr.. Drew nor any one else was elected
TO take the Warden's place." said Mr.. Deylln in
answer TO the reporters question. The bust
ness OF the session in San francisco was to wind
up certain matters pertaining to the lone Reform
School. might say, Incidentally, that this talk
about secret session is mostly nonsense, any
way. We can take no legal steps without max
ing an entry OF what we do upon our minutes,
conclusion OF our meetings. OF course the Di-
rectors have private consultations occasionally,
the purport OF which they are not obliged 10 dis
close"
When spoken TO about the probable cause of
the talk around town, and the part the Governor
has been charged with taking in the alleged re-
mOydl, Mr.. DeYiln stated that, so FAR as he was
personally concerned. he wished neither TO deny
nor affirm the rumors.
SAN QUENTIN PRISON, June 19.-General
McComb has not been removed, and II his re-
mOya is contemplated lie is not aware OF IT,
Prison Director E. j. &c Pue, In an Interview
last night al Tie Occidental HO e., when asked
whether Warden McComb had been dtposed,
said: There has been no action taken as vel
looking toward anything OF that kind"
But, Will there be any 2'
could not take any action at present, as
there are only three Directors in the city and
that IS not enough to constitute a quorum"
Governor Waterman dIsclaimed any knowl-
edge whatever of tie case ana would offer no
comments upon lis probability. He did not
seem to want 10 talk upon the subject. aud 10
direct questions returned eyasiye answers, or
said - do not know"
Director z. Ready treated the subject with
leVlty, and secuted The idea that action depOSing
the Warden had been taken.

fact that they are exactly similar to the
Roman cinerary urns which have been
found in large numbers in different parts of
the coast in this neiehborhood points to
their having been placed where they were
discovered by the hands of the Roman in
vaders of the island. The position where
they were found is at the extreme end of
the island, very near to the North Foreland
lighthouse. The graves, which were
opened out in the course of the cutting of
the road, were close together and not more
than two feet below the surface. Some of
the skeletons found were lying across one
another, from which it is supposed that the
dead may have been rudely inferred after
battle fought in the neighborhood. Several
