TIE PENNANT RACE.
It Appears to be Between San Fran
cisco and San Jose.
The Senator's, However. Have just a
Fighting Chance-Prospectso of a
Championship Series.

The conclusion Of the race between the
San Franciscos and San Joses for the
baseball pennant promises to be an in
teresting one, and it is possible that the
Sacramento team may make squirt and
finish that will surprise the two leading
clubs. But this will all depend on the
aspect of affairs after this weeks series is
over.
To-day the Senators will play with
Manager Harris team, and then will fin
ish the weeks series by playing four
times with Oakland. If the Sacramento
team can win the entire series, then the
prospect for winning the pennant will
not be SO bad, but in case the clubs divide
even there will be little chance for the
Senators to close the gap. The team has
two excellent pitchers, however, and
there is no telling what surprises there
may be in store.
The Examiner says that arrangements
have at last been completed for the play
ing of series of games between the
Portlands, champions of the Pacific
Northwest League, and the pennant
winners of the California League to de-
eide the baseball championship of the
Pacific Coast.
On Tuesday evening next the Portland
team will be the guests of the citi-
Zens of Portland at grand ban
quet, atwhich there will be present many
representative citizens of the great North
west. On Wednesday evening the Port
land team, accompanied by Mr.. Rock
we'll, the President of the league, and
Mr.. Bushnell, ex-President, will leave
by steamer for this city. On arrival here
they will at once leave for Monterey,
where they will go into practice. They
will return to this city about the 18th of
next month and practice at the Haight-
street grounds until Thanksgiving Day,
when the first of series of twenty-one
games for the Pacific Coast championship
will be played with the team in the lead
here.
If the San Jose team wins out in the
race then most of the games will be
played in the Garden City, but should
san francisco win the majority of games
will be played here, though in either
terror league cities.
Under the articles of agreement drawn
up each team will be allowed to select
two pitchers who have played in the
respective leagues and two extra players,
TO be played only in case Of accident to
the regular men, as it is the desire of the
management on both sides to play as
nearly as possible the teams winning in
each league, SO that the question of su-
premacy may be fairly settled.
There will be two umpires at all the
gameS--one from the Pacific Northwest
League, McDermitt, and the other from
the California League, probably Sheri-
dan.
The games should attract wide attention.
as the teams OF the California and Pacific
Northwest Leagues play about an even
quality Of ball, and it should be nip and
tuck fight. The pennant will be some
thing worth fighting for, as the Portland
club has contributed S1G0 for the purchase
of a silken banner emblematic of the
championship, and the club winning in
the California League will contribute a

who came down to look over the ground
in advance of the team.
1t is stated upon good authority that the
California League is not under the Ma
tional agreement, and the reserve rule
will not be respected by those players
who desire to change their location next
year.
