IN FIRST POSITION.
The MetrOpolitans Now Tie the
Colonies for First Place.

The game played yesterday at the Haight
street Grounds, between the Stocktops and
San FranciScos, was of very ordinary
character.
Although some splendid hitting and field
ing occurred at intervals it was easily seen
that the Gastowns were outclassed from the
start.
KiIrcy occupied the box for the visitors,
received most discouIaging support. Arm
strong, who was catching, seemingly had
little idea Of where second base was situated,
as on several occasions lie threw the ball
into the outiield, allowing base-runners to
go easily from first to third every time.
Wilson was also off in throwing, but other
wise did well.
Selma made his temperance with the
team, but was all stiffcned up with rheuma-
tism. which prevented his making his Gus
tomary clever catches and pick-ups. Hoff-
man, Holiday and Sjockwell played The
outfield. Nh.ie Fache occupied seal on the
bench.
The Nets played winning ball. hitting
heavily and opportunity and fielding well.
Speer excelled at The bat, making four safe
hits, the first CT which was triple, and in
each Instance sending runners across the
plate. Shea, Everett and Ebright also
welded their wagon tongues effectively.
In the fe ny togaIty carried off the
honurS. accepting twelve chances in excellent
style, and Stevens did some grand work in
right fell. His catch of a difficult foul off
Hotfman'S bat in TIE seventh inning ana
throw from the foul-fag squarely into Eb-
rights hands at third, who, with Shea COM
peted double, was magnificent piece of
work.
The runs we're made as follows:
In the first inning Selma hit to Everett
and on his very wide throw went to second,
and scored on Ebright's error of Holidays
hit, vino reached third thereby. Holiday
scored on Hoifman's sacrifice.
Frisco got a man over the plate in the Sec
Ond on Evrretts scratch hit, his steal and on
Armstrong; wild throw 10 center, which
Holiday fumbled, he scored.
Frisco took two more and the lead in the
fourth on Everetrs slashng three-bagger,
which was followed by another one of the
same quality by Speer, and Shea's single.
In the fifth they added two more on
Ebrights double, Wilson's error Of Ever
cuts hit and Speer'S single.
The Stocktons also scored one in this in-
ming, Kiruy leading off with double to
crossing the rubber on Holidays safety.
In the sixth Shea hit safely and made the
circuit on Armstrong; wild throw, which
bounded over Holidays head.
A single by Ebright, his SEAL Wilson's
poor throw Of Levy's grounder and hits by
Everett and Speer gave the Frscos Two
more runs in the seventh.
Stockton secured one more and their last
run n the eighth on Fudger's safe shot to
center, his steal Of second and Wilson's
pretty drive to right.
Although the triscOs made four safe hits
in the ninth inning, but one run resulted,
for with the bases full Coushlin was forced
at third base, making the third out. The
run came in on Leyy's safe hit, Arm
strong's wild throw and Speei's fourth hit

Coast Blood-hor>e Associations Board Of

dent Ariel Lathrop in the chair and all the
Directors present 1t was decided by the
Directors to hold the regular fall meeting of

gramne. No purse less than $500 Will be
offered by the association, and on the last
Saturday of the meeting purse of $50

The Directors intend to do their utmost
to make the meeting a success, and the Com
mittec on Subscriptions will make a close
canvass of the city among the business
houses, hotels, cable-car companies and
others who are directly benefited by the
meetings, so that extra inducements in the
way of large prizes to the winners can be

stables TO attend the meeting from the
Western States, and every thing will be done
to make their visit profitable.
Tomorrow the breeders commence their

made and the chasing has been so carefully
arranged that the best harness races of the
year on the Coast are confidently expected

are at the track, which is as good as any
in the State; indeed, many good judges
pronounce it to be the fastest, and equal to
the swell Eastern courses. The Palo Alto
and Hickok stables are due at the track on
Monday, and some of the cracks will be
sent against the worlds record. The meet
ing commences tomorrow, and concludes
ON the following Saturday, the 18th.

thoughtless guest. The young man was
grateful; he decided to step in a while.
Enteri the doorway, as if he lived there,
he turned the key. The hour was 1856.
Mr.. Patterson went TO the kitchen, but
breakfast was not ready. Indeed, the fire
hadn't been lighted.
The stairway to the second floor is very
easy Of ascent. 1t is of the Renaissance
period, and rises from the wide foyer to a
landug-way exactly opposite MI. Most's

ment Mr.. Patterson did not halt upon the
stairway. Admiration of its architectu a
features might have saved him Euch annoy
ance. He halted before Landlord Nests
half-open door and maryeled at his honest
ticking of clock, and he entered the room
cautiously to see how long it would be until
breakfast.
The clock was not lapis lazuli timepiece,
worth its weight in gold. No; but it would
bring about 81 from any liberal ''feDce"
That meant breakfast and dinner. Besides.
1t could be easily carried under the cuat. Mr..
Patterson tried this and found that the clock
fitted neatly into tie open armhole of his
vest. He was a modest rascal, and, casting
graceful glance at his sleeping benefactor,
MIR. Patterson started for the door.
But, it was o'clock
And the clock played.
The honest inn-keeper was aroused, and
sprang out OF bed in time to see the man who
had raped the clock disappearing down the
stairs.
Three jumps carried Most TO his front
window; two shouts from his healthy lungs
brought Detective Connor across the street
and Mr.. Patterson emerged from the door
way into the officers arms.
Matthew Patterson took breakfast at Es-
sex Police Station, and will hear of the

Matthew Patterson Takes an Alarm at
the Wrong Hour.
Herman D. Most decided to 60 to bed
early one night recently, as he intended to
market early Saturday morning. He keeps
boarding house at 159 Chrystie street, and
caters for thrifty and hungry family of
early risers. An alarm clock that stands on
Herman's dressing bureau was carefully
wound and set to ring at O'Clock. Then
the industrious landlord committed himself
to God and went to sleep.
Matthew Patterson, "a young man about
town." as he described himself to Judge
Duffy Yesterday, was out late Friday night.
He does not have to rise early. No hungry
household awaits meals of his providing. He
is fond of the night air, and the sunlight
hurts his eyes. He sleeps late, and endeav-
ors to secure the price Of a break
fast-and the next dinner If ssible-be-
fore the daylight drives him to bed. He is
thief, and quite modest about the fact.
Mir. Patterson was strOlliDg home yeSter-
