small favors thankfully received" was
what Messrs. McClOskey ana McGuirk re-
marked as they took the train for Sacra-
mento last night with one small victory out
Of five games played OF the other victories
Oakland got one and Harris men the other
three. This places the Senators sixteen
points farther away from the head of the
class than they were this time last week.
On the other hand local stock Is booming
an the home team is eight points better
off, having won three games out of four.
AS team they are playing better ball than
at any time during the season and seem to
be steadily improving. With another
pitcher able to hold up his end with Cobb,
there is no reason why the locals should
not get 10 windward of the leaders in very
short time.
Colonel Robinson's galaxy of sure losers
are still plu gging along in the same old rut,
although they did manage TO squeeze out
with two games in possible four this week.
One of these, the first, was won from Sacra-
mento. and they captured an exciting ten
inning game from the Gardeners on their
own ground. They lost two, however, but
that isn't so bad in view of the fact that
they only played four. Olkland's per cent
is nine points better than 1t used to be.
Duke Finn must feel greatly mortified to
find that his men, after working hard
whole week, have only reaped one point 10
store away in the per cent column. The
Gardeners played three games and cap
tured two of them. From the dispatches it
appears that Ebright was to blame for the
one they lost, but then hot grounders are
liable to get away from the best of us.
Ebright still holds his job.
We are more than pleased to note de-
cided falling off in the base on balls depart
ment during the past week. Perhaps it is
due to the fact that both the Colonels
pitchers have been away from town the
most OF the week. Anyhow, the change
was.nOtlced shortly after their departure.
The scores show that some improvement
has taken place In San Jose.

Presentation to Rev. p. j. Cummins by
His ParishlOners.
The spacious hall attached to the church
o St. Charles B0rromeo, at Eighteenth and
Shotwell streets, was the scene on yester-
day foreuoon of a most interesting event,
which in very marked degree illustrated
the affection of a congregation for their
pastor.
Some four days previously the Rev. P. j.
Cummins, pastor of ST. Charles Borromeo's,
had quietly announced to members of his
congregation that it was his purpose to
start the following Sunday on all extended
trip to Europe and the Orient. The an
nouncement was great surprise to the
people OF the parish, but Notwithstanding
the brief time al their command they at
once undertook the duty of manifesting
tEeir regard for their pastor on the occasion
of his departures
That they succeeded in their efforts was
amply shown by the proceedings of yesteI-
days meeting. A programme embracing
choice musical and vocal talent written
address and the presentation of a we'll filled
purse was gracefully carried out, and in the
most touching and tender tones the Rev.
Father Cummins bade good-by to his large
and devoted congregation, who, with tear
dimmed eyes, listened to his paStorly
counsel and affectionate solicitude for their
welfare.
The reverend gentleman took his de-
parture on the afternoon train and was ac-
companied across the bay by numerous
cOncourSe Of his friends and parisEioners,
several Of whom continued in his company
as far as Port Costa, seemingly willing
to bid him fiual adieu.

Messrs. A. B. Mcguire, j. Rooney, p.

the Union Hand-ball Court the principal
game was between Pennoyer and Farrell
against Condor and Dillon. The spectators.
who thought that the former team "was not

straight games. Scores: Is to 10 and 10 to

so much in favor that his friends wish to
back him against any second-class amateur.
A second rubber was played by the same
teams resulting in favor of the veterans on
the scores to 15, 10 to IL and Z to 10. A
third game will be played next Sunday.
Toner played Walsh aud Darcy a rubber

Overdose of Morphine.

The remains of John E. Magary, repose
on slab at the Morgue. He was a con-
tractor, aged 60years, native of Vermont,
and lived with his wife at 1889 Valencia
street. Morphine poisoning, under peculiar
circumstances, caused his death.
For three weeks he bad been drinking

LOVE AND LIQUOR.
A Berkeley Swain Makes Four
Attempts to Suicide.

Bad luck and good luck were doled out to
Frank Longshieldsman, a young Berkeley
carpenter, yesterday, in about equal prcpor-
tions. Despite the handicap of the length
of his name. Frank found a young lady,
Miss Effie Lambert, most estimabe resi-
dent of Berkeley, TO listen to his protesta-
tions Of affection and consent to become his
wife, provided he would shun the bowl and
never touch intoxicating liquor again.
Frank kept his promise like a man for
nearly a year until yesterday m ornlng
when he succumbed to the wies of lot of
his disSpated young friends and became
quite hilarious. He called in the afternoon
on Miss Lambert, who, when she saw his
condition, at once declared the engagement
off and ordered him to leave the house. He
pleaded long and fervently. but in vain, and
his threats THAT if she refused to keep her
promise he would surely commit suicide,
also failed to move her, and Frank rushed
away from her residence in badly demor-
allied condition.
Accompanied by thirteen-sixteenths of
his jag Frank boarded the steamer Newark
about O'Clock in the afternoon, and, after
StOking up a little more, remem bered his
promise to commit suicide. He made a rush
for the side of the boat, and was Just about
throwing himself into the briny when a
stalwart deck-hand grabbed and threw him
down on the deck and sat on him till the
steamer arrived on this side of the bay,
when the would-be suicide was turned over
to the police.
He was locked up in cell at the North
Harbor Station, and again remembered his
suicidal threat. Tying his handkerchief to
one of the iron bars forming the grating to
the cell, he attempted 10 hang himself. His
vigorous kicks against the cell door as he
was choking attracted the attention of the
pris0D-keeper, who cut him down and rang
in for the patrol wagon.
When Chief Crowley's Quincy arrived he
was placed in it for conveyance to the Cen
tral Station. Twice on the way there Frank
pulled out pocket knives and attempted to
cut his throat. The vigilance and the club
of the officer accompanying him again
baked Frank from filing an unpleasant
dank grave. All he succeeded in doing with
the knives was to slightly lacerate mis- throat
and left ear, the latter simply through
miscalculation rs to where his jugular was
located. When he was given into Sergeant
Lindheimers custody at the Central Station
that well-posted official had the victim Of
love and liquor tightly strapped down i'll
the prison hospital. rendering him entirely
harmless to himself and the world.
just before he fell into deep alcoholic
repose Frank intimaied his earnest deter
mination to yet make away with himself.
When he awakes this morning lie will, in
all probability, be much more interested in
pouring about gallon or So of cold water
down his throat than in attempting to let
air into it by any other than natural routes.

Over at Emeryyille in the morning Pete
Meegan went TO worK with the flush of re-
cent victory on his aged brow to pitch an
other game for Harris. In the first inning
the Steers got neither run nor hit, but some
thing terrible happened in the second.
They leaned up against the ball and
smashed out single, a double, triple and
home run. Had there been such thing
as ive-bagger the Steers would probably
have got one. In justice to Meegan il should
be stated that the long drives were singles
that hit rocks and bounded away from the
felders. They counted just the same and
resulted in four talles.
Peck Sharp then finished the game and
did so well in the box that the visitors go.

any sign Of our vessel Night came on and
next day we rowed around, but not a sail
appeared. That night we lay with drag
out, and the next morning determined TO
start to make land. We set our sail and
steered northeast.
The next day we saw three vessels and
gave chase, hoping to attract their atten-
tion. Two OF them we could not get near
enough to signal. but the other, an English
craft, we got close enough to count the crew
on her deck. 1t seems improbable that they
could not see us, but they evidently did not.

steadily away from US till she was lost TO
sight;

time suffering from hunger and thirst, but
still kept on alternately sailing and rowing.
All day Thursday We kept on our course,
feeling weaker. but determined to reach the
shore. Finally, on Friday, we sighted a
sail, and succeeded in attracting her atten-
ti0n. We were soon aboard of her, and
everything was done for our comfort She
proved to be the French schooner Sylvests,
bound for st. Pierre, Miquelon.

SUNDAY PASTIMES.
Lively Cricket Games at Alamed a
and KlinknervilIe.
Hand-Ball Tournament in the Leading Courts
for Gold Medals-Prize Contests of the
Lincoln Gun Club.

The cricket match between the Alamedas
and the CALIFORNIA; at the Webster-street
grounds, Alameda, yesterday was a very
closely contested affair. The CALIFORNIA;
won by IS runs only.
The Alamedas went to the bat at 1890
o'clock, Hogus and Lawrence facing the
bowling OF Robertson and Gadesden. Law
renee soon mastered the deliveries and COM
PEELED several changes of bowling, Skrim-
shire, Sheath and Shepard all trying their
hand. Sheath at last succeeded in finding
his way to Lawrence's wicket though not
till all the other batsmen except Ward had
been disposed of. Not only was Lawrence
the only man on his side who got into double
figures, but his fine score of 63 was due to
mastery combination OF free hitting and
stubborn defense.
The CALIFORNIA; began badly when
AnsOn, a Maryebone club man, retired
without scoring and Webster was run out.
Robertson and Randall stayed together and
made things lively for the fielders. While
Robertson's total of 80 was not to be COM
pared with Lawrenco's performance for the
Alamedas 1t was very creditable display
OF batting, and Randall knocked together
his IS runs in less than as many minutes,
when he was run out just as he seemed we'll
set. Sloman did not greatly trouble the
scorers, but Sheath compiled IA runs before
yielding to shooter" from Low, which
would have puzzled the best of batsmen.
The felding of the Alamedas was very
close and good, but the runs continued to
come, and when Gadesden and Skrimshire
got together the score steadily mounted to
50, at which time the Alamedas tried an
other change of bowling. Skrimshire put
on five more runs by two successive hits
to sQuare-leg amid cries Of Coed boy,
Skrmps," but was bowled moment later,
his index finger having been badly split by
humping ball. A leg-bye gave the victory
to the CALIFORNIA; at 4 AS O'Clock but the
game was played out by O'Brien and Moore,
the latter being finally bGwed by McLaren.
The umpires were Anthony and TTealor.
Score follows:
