BY AN INNINGS.
The Pacifcs Easily Defeated by the Ala
media Club.

The Pacifcs Easily Defeated by the Ala
media Club.
The cricket game at Alameda yesterday
was not close enough to occasion the slight
est suspicion Of excitement though there
was some interesting cricket during the
afternoon. The match was between the
Alameda and Pacific clubs, and the latter
were simply overwhelmed.
TIE Pacifcs got rid of their opponents for
I19, not bad erformanee, considering the
perfect wicket and the weakness of the
Pacific bowling Then their own turn came
TO bat and the whole side was out Tor Il, the
smallest total any club has yet been dis
missed for this season.
II may be said for the Psciics that. with
Barnby, Smith and GascOyne away they
had by no means a representative batting
side. But, when every allowance is made,
there is no excuse for their miserable show
ing. Being ID a minority OF more than so
the Pacifics had TO follow on, and this time
did rather better by putting together so.
For the Alamedas, Lawrence aud Ne
Laren batted well, both forcing the game
nard Newton and Hood also made their
runs in good form, and were together Tor
some time before they were parted. The
tilst innings Of the Pacifcs was a regular
procession, no one making the slightest re-
distance TO The bowling hcLaTen's howl
ing figures are remaTkable-7 wickets for
runs.
Howell. Ward and J. Theobald all
showed that the bowling was not unplay-
able in the second inning, howell especially
playing with great confidence throughout.
The score follows:

SINGLE-TAX VIEWS.
A Criticism of the Platform of the Pee


A Criticism of the Platform of the Peo-
pies Party.
The Single-tax Society met last evening
at its headquarters on Market street and
was addressed by Mr.. Sanborn on " The
Platform of the Peoples Party"
In his discourse the speaker touched upon
four points of interost-land, finance trans
pOrtatiOn and taxation.
On the first point the speaker said that
the Peoples party do not wish aliens to own
land. But, said he. it makes very little diff
ference to the tenant whether the land is
owned by aliens or citizens of the country.
The Peoples party must proclaim that all
absolute ownership of land is wrong or else
IL will not amount to anything
On the subject Of finances Mr. SanbOrn
contended that as money has become pow
erful factor in shaping the politics and des-
TIMES Of this republic, greatly to its injury,
no kind of money ought to be used as a cir
eulating medium of which il is possible for
anyone TO have a monopoly.
Concerning transportation he believed
with the Peoples party that the Government
ought to control the railroads, as in Aus
tralia, where they are operated at cost Of
So - per 1000 miles travelled
Concerning the last point, taxation, he ex-
pressed the opinion that the Peoples party
has very immature ideas of the subject, and
having so declared himself tile audience
vera dismissed.

struck the main road and footed the seven
miles in gallant style, covering the distance
in two hours.
The owners of prize dogs were better
posted and by the first train they went to the
grounds and began series OF contests that
lasted until nearly 2 o'clock in the afte r
noon before any one could see a ghost Of a
chance TO claim that suit OF clothes.
The following were the entries: L. j.
CFOnin's Depend-0n-Me VS.. NJ. Ciernan'S
Glen Farren; NJ. Tiernan's Catherine Hay
VS.. 7. Walton'S Fly; Charles ). Nieland s
Examiner VS.. L. J. Cr0nin's Jennie q;
Thomas Flynn's Lady BesS VS.. G. 5. Vie
lands FrepstOne.
In the first set of matches the winners
were: Depend-On-Mp, Catherine Hay, Ex-
aminer and Lady BeSs. Mr.. Wieland then
withdrew and left for the city with his
friends. This left the contest to be fought
between Catherine Hay, Depend-0n-Me and
Lady BeSS. The hareS were very fleet and
the dogs had no little trouble in capturing
them. The result was very exciting to the
spectators, especially as three contests were
declared OFF ana had to be run over before a
decision could be rendered.
During the morning courSing the flyers
Catherine and Depend-On- Me started on
wild chaseS after haTeS before they could be
captured. and being pretty we'll used up by
their match contests had little show In run
ming down fresh hareS. At the .cl05e of
these amateur trials the dogs were utterly
Frustrated, and required the most careful
attention in order to be ready for the regu-
lar trials. At length the speedy Catherine
was able To carry off the hOnors of the day
by killing a big hare in great style, although
the wind was blowing almost gale and the
whole field was so dusty that one could
hardly see across it.
After these contests were decided the
members of Company II were marched upon
tue field and given long exercise in Skin
mish drill and sham battle practice. In
spite OF their long walk and the consequent
fatigue Of dancing for some hours the boys
did good work in the manual and in the
tactics Of the CORY field.

INTERPRETATION.
Trades Unions Oppose ImpOrta-
ton of Labor.
The Federation VIII Be Asked to Memorialize
ongress-Proposed Formation OF
Bakers Combine.

"Congress has provided for the protection
of American capital, and American capital
is prospecting" said prominent member of
the Musicians Union last night; and it is
time something was done for the protection
Of American labor. Edward Bellamy. who
is now the editor of a widely circulated
paper, states that 10000 members of the
American Federation of Labor are idle,
while every ship that comes from Europe is
laden to the waters edge with foreign
workmen, who are willing to work for 81 a
day.
Whenever a strike or lockout occurs
these foreigners take our places. They are
taking the places of starving miners In
Pennsylvania and they are replacing Amer
lean workmen wherever American workmen
demand better conditions or refuse TO SUBJ
nit to the impositions of greedy employers.
If this state of things continues American
workmen will soon be reduced to the level
of the labortTs OF Europe, and no one knows
this better than the wOrkmen Of California.
Congress, that has prohibited the importa-
ton of foreign manufactures for the benefit
of American manufacturers, must prohibit
the Importation of foreign labor for the ben
eft Of American labOrers.
"What are we going TO do about It? Well,
several unions in this city are now discussing
the immigration question, and at the meet
ing of our union on Thursday afternoon
resolution will be introduced calling upon
the Federated Trades of this city and the
American Federation of Labor to petition
Congress to restrict or prohibit the immigra-
ton of foreign laboreIs of all nations"
The musicians emphatically deny the truth
Of the report published in an evening paper
that their union is bOycOtting the Powell
street Theater because the last orchestra
employed in the theater was not paid for its
services. The orchestra was paid for its
services by the owners of the theater two
weeks ago, and the relations existing be-
tween them are most cordial.
Ten members of the union will leave for
Colorado Springs tomorrow, where they
have been engaged to play for five months
under the leadership Of Herr ROssneT.

BAKERS COMBINE.
Proposed Formation of Big Bread Com
pany.

proposed Il oEnlatiOn OF Big BFeau COM
pany.
The owner sf one of the largest flour
mills in the State called upon several bakers
last week for the purpose of inducing them
to organize a company to control the bread
making industry of the city. He won over
one of the most prosperous master bakers
TO his plan, and it is thought that others
will be induced to enter the proposed COM
bne. Should the com binaton be effected a
great central bakery would be established,
with branches throughout the city.
This, in the opinion of the President of
Bakers Union, No. 81, would put an end to
the struggle going on between the German
bakers of this city and their employers, and
would result in better wages for the work
man and cheaper bread for the consumer.
Although Bakers Union No. "a has
been expelled from the Council of Federated
Trades fer UNFOLDING a union that has been
condemned, the council has not and will
not rescind the boycott levied for the benefit
of the expelled organization against baker
Westerfeld. The Executive Committee of
the council met yesterday and decided to
employ either Lawyer Hutton or Koran to
defend the council in the suit brought
against it by Weslerfeld, who alleges that
the boycott is running his business and has
already cost him $4,000.
