NOTES OF THE DIAMOND.
The Dispute Over the Postponed Game
at Stockton.
How Sacramento Players Stand II
the Seasons sAverages-Games
Here This Week.

Manager Ginsberg of the Sacramento
Baseball Club has arrived at the conclu-
sion that the Sacramentos had post
poned game with the Oaklands, and says
he will insist that the contest played at
Stockton a couple of weeks ago, in which
the Senators were the victors, was league
game. He says that the postponed game
was one which was to have taken place
in Oakland a couple of months ago, but
on account of inclement weather did not
come off.
Judging from the manner in which Nc
Guirk of the Sacramentos is hitting the
ball lately, he will soon be at the top of
the list of batters in the league.
George Zeigler has been released from
the Erie clnb.
Godar is managing the Cedar Rapids
team at present, but it is said the league
Is liable to go under at any time.
According to the Sporting Life, Dale,
the "Rasper Jasper Toosper-tasper''
coacher Of the Oakland team. who tried
to jump his contract last week, has been
blacklisted for leaving the Rockford club
without permission.
The San Francisco sporting papers say
that Clark of the San Franciscos can
throw the ball farther than any player in
the league. The cranks in Sacramento
will dispute this assertion, however.
They claim that Sunday is the strongest
and most accurate throWer on the coast,
and it is noticeable fact that when a
fyball is batted to him q runner never
attempts to take a base on what is called
''the sacrifice fly"
Billy Goodenough, who was arrested in
Omaha on charge Of assault TO murder,
was, 1t ltappears, the most badly-used party
barber shop. According to reports, he
had to fight or get whipped, and in the
melee his watch was stolen and he was
struck on the head with bottle.
In fielding averages, according to the
Field Sports, McGuirk leads the first
basemen, Fogarty the second basemen,
Ebright the guarders Of the third corner,
and Reitz the shortstops. Sharp is the
leading outfelder, and Speer the
catcher. Spies, however, who ranks
third, has had nearly one hundred more
chances than any of the other backstops.
France and Hoffman are the leading
pitchers. The formers average is $50,
and Hoffman's is .S78.
The San Franciscos will play here
next Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
1t is said that Manager Harris may
have Jack Godar playing at short, in case
HaSsamer does not return to the team.
Coacher Dale of the O8klands has a new
way of telling a runner to steal base
He shouts: "Shed your linen and
change your residence"
The San Francisco papers say Reitz is
not the player he was year ago. He
carries too much superfluous flesh.

GREAT REGISTERS.
The Attorney-General Gives an Opin.
ion on Re-Registration.

1ne eAllOTncy-JcnefIl OlNSs an OpIn-
ion on Re-Registration.
Attorney-GeneralH Hart wrote out the
following letter on Saturday to Hon. NJ.
p. Rose, District Attorney of Shasta
County, in regard to the necessity of the
Board of Supervisors ordering new
Great Register:
DEAR SIR: Yours of the IIth inst.
is at hand, and contents noted. In it you
ask: VIII it be necessary for the Board
of Supervisors to order the cancellation
Of the Great Register and re-register to
conform to the requirements of the
amended registration laws?'
SIN reply Iwil say that there is spe-
cial statute which provides that the old
Register shall be used for any special
election held before the next general cleo
ton. My opinion is that the Supervisors
of the several counties should not order
the cancellation of the Great Register and
re-registration to conform to the re-
quirements of the amended registration
laws until next year. as the general cleo
ton will not take place until November,
1892. Under the provisions Of Section
1904 of the Political Code the Supervisors
have the right to order the Register can
celled and new one issued, il they de-
sire to go TO that expense"

LOCAL GAME LAWS
This Time the General State Law
Takes Precedence Thereof.

AahCS BCCSdchco luSTeOl.
The following opinion rendered by

Riverside, in relation to game laws, is
self-explanatory:
II am in receipt of yours of the 9th

approved March 81, 1891 page 295), pro-
vides that a Board of Supervisors has
power, among other things, to make
regulations for the protection of game
and fish, when such regulations are
made as provided in this section relating
to game and fish. The laws of the State
for the protection thereof are suspended
i'll such county. But Section 626 Of the
Penal Code was amended by the last
Legislature. (Statute of 1891. page Az }
The County Government Act appears
in the statutes as Chapter 2l6, whereas
Section GIG of the Penal Code, as
amended, is Chapter 252. This section
being approved later in the day, and in a
subsequent chapter, my opinion is that
subdivision 29t of Section % of the
County Government Act is absolutely
repealed by the Act amending Section
626 of the Penal Code-Section 236, which
provides: 'All laws or parts of laws in
conflict with this Act are hereby re-
pealed.'r

Yesterday the unfortunate young man
underwent a surgical operation which
resulted in the removal of five fragments
Of bone from his skull, the largest of
which was two and three-eighths inches
long by one and three-eighths wide, a
second piece one and three-fourths by

Hard Work Of Weddings,

Weddings have become such laborious
and public ceremonies that certain am
bilious letter-carrier in Boston, whom
the New York Recorder knows, has made
for himself "a new and profitable occu-
ton as major domo of these functions
The principle of his success is that a
family seldom has the opportunity to be-
with the mechanical details of losing one
of its members. The routine is always
the same, and it is very convenient to
have some clear-headed man behind the
scene, who orders flowers and refresh
ments in the proper quantity, times the
entrance and exit Of principals, livery
walters; watches the wedding gifts, and,
if needs be, maps ont the bridal tour.
This enterprising letter-carrier is making
more money as an auxiliary of Cupid
than as disciple of Mercury.p

Egyptian onions In,ported.

Few people know, perhaps, that any ar
ticle of food is imported into this country
from Egypt, but, according to the New
York Tribune, that country sends us
large quantities Of onions, as many as So
600 bushels often arriving in a single
week. The onions, which are shipped
from Alexandria to Liverpool and thence
to New York, are small and yellow, and
not SO good as those grown in this coun-
toy, while they naturally deteriorate
somewhat during their long voyage, but
they are readily sold, because the price
asked in Egypt is so low that, after
adding freight charges and duty of 40
cents per bushel, a bag containing nearly
two bushels is sold for g or 81 so.

The eastbound overland train which
left this city on Saturday at noon collided
near Clark's Station, about fifty miles
east of Truckee, with the westbound

the other overland dashed into it while
going at about twenty miles an hour.
The passengers on both trains were
somewhat shaken mp, but nobody was
injured, except a tramp who was stealing
a ride. He was killed outright

the other two were badly disabled. None
of the cars of either train left the track.

A Bank on Wheels.

The managers of a bank in New
Zealand have hit upon a scheme for
an extension of business that IS said
to be meeting with great success 1t
has a special car which makes regu-
lar visits to the country districts,
and at every station where it stops it
receives deposits, cashes checks, ne
gotiates loans and discounts, and
does all the regular work of bank.
This plan is a great convenience to
the settlers, who are scattered over a
wide area, and were it not for the
new arrangements they would be
obliged to leave their farms and 60
to town whenever they have bust
ness to transact. The car is fitted
up something like the pay car of
an American railway, and it is said
that the enterprising bank manager
who caused the experiment to be
made took his idea from our pay car
and improved upon the original. In
this connection it is proper to say
that in New Zealand there are few
farms or estates without heavy
mortgages, and the public debt of
the country averages $500 for every
white man, woman and child Of the
population. The annual taxation is
about ST. per head, but nobod y
seems inclined to run away from
the country on that account.

WHEAT, as well as lighter grains,

The Burlington Haecheye adds to
this statement: "That is to say a

draws to market with a wagon and
team, spending at least half a day,
in most cases, upon the task and
giving up to it the time of himself
and two horses, is transported
miles of actual distance sailed and
moved nearly five hun
dred miles in an air line toward the
seaboard for about 40 cents. =
Such facts show how little cause
the farmers Of the West have to
complain of the cost of getting their
produce to Eastern markets, when
the grain and provisions once reach
the waterways.
