Borchers Arrives from Portland-Minor
Notes of Interest.
In an interview by Post reporter with
Manager Henry Harris, of the Portland
Club, the latter made several statements
concerning the condition of..the affairs of
the California League which both the Sac
ramento and Stockton managers consider
were uncalled-for, and intended to injure
the clubs in the league. Among other
things he is reported as saying:
when the next league meeting is held
there will be no more friendship transac-
tons. Stockton is in the league this year
owing to friendly arrangem ents between
certain managers, but it will be strictly
business this time. Every manager will be
required to put up q certified check for
81 800 that he will carry his club through
the season; so it will be seen that six clubs
will continue id the organization until the
close of the championship series. l don't
think that Stockton will remain in the
league another year. The Slough City
team would have been disbanded a few
months ago but for the guarantee fund of
81 coo that the management was forced to
place in President Mone's hands. There
are rumors floating about now that the
players have not been paid their salaries,
| and | suppose the Directors are waiting for
the first of November, when they can draw
out half of the fund"
Manager Sharp, of the Stockton Club,
| found Il RECORD UNION reporter yesterday,
and asked that he be permitted to state
that Mr.. Harris insinuations were not
true, and he thinks were made with the in.
tent only to do injury He says" con-
tinued MIR. Sharp, that we owe our play
ers, when the fact is that they are paid
regularly, and not one cent is due them
! from the Directors of the club. Mr.. Harris
is not pleased because he could have his
| say before the Directors of the California
League when he claimed he had the Stock
ton franchise. He may not have things as
much his own way next year as he thinks
he will
| George Borchers arrived in town yester-
! day from Portland, Oregon, and he never
before looked to be in better condition than
| he is to day. He went out to the ball
| game yesterday and expressed himself as
confident OF doing good work with such 8
| fielding team as the Sscramentos to back
| him. He says Bowman will be able to
catch him all right and thatlhe will play
ball with Sacramento provided an agree
ment is reached in regard TO the salary
! question. He will meet the owners OF the
team to-day and settlement will probably
| be effected.
Manager Finn of the San Franchises
| states that he will protest every game in
which Borchers pitches, on the grounds
that he was not in the State prior to Aug
ust 18Th. The Sacramento managers claim
that Borchers is California player and
| that he played in the league during the
present season with the Stockton club.
If Borchers is signed land in all proba-
bility he will be- he will pitch his first
game next Sunday in this city, when the
SaIamentos play the San Franciscos.
| Bowman will be able to play in his usual
position this week, although the index
| finger on his right hand is swollen to al
most twice its natural size. On account OF
il he cannot get a firm hold on the ball
| when he attempts to throw TO base.
Goodenough now leads the league in
base stealing, with Shea a couple of base
steals behind.
The Sacramentos will play an exhibition
game ON Tuesday next, commencing al
2:30 P N, with club which travels with
the Henry E. Dixey theatrical troupe.
