WON AND LOST.
Yesterdays Games Split Even for the
Sacramentos.
They Win at Stockton and Lose o.
Their Own Ground-An Even
Thing at the Bay.

1t was, with the Sacramentos, another
case of couldn't hit Cobb yesterday
afternoon, and the game went the way
contests usually end when San Fran
cisco's crack pitcher does the box work.
There is no use denying that Cobb should
rank as one of the best pitchers in the
profession. He has lots of speed, some
very puzzling 'twisters' and above all,
magnificent control. He pitches just as
we'll in Sacramento or San Jose as he
does on the home diamond, and the bat
ters of the Senatorial team all admit that
he is puzzler to them.
It would have been too much luck for
the Sacramentos to have taken both
games yesterday from the San Franciscos,
so they dropped the last contest to the
visitors by a score of 13 to 4.
"Beesie" McGuirk was not OH first
base, but Red" Armstrong was there,
and in the first inning or two did not ap-
pear to be quite at home. He did not
seem to know who ought to field two or
three of those ground hits in the direc-
ton Of first base, and as a result had two
errors chalked against him. Neverthe-
less, Army played good game, and
gathered in the throws of the intielders
about as neatly as any of them could do
1t. lie hit the ball well, too.
Stapleton pitched four innings for the
Sacramentos, and his wildness-in con-
cert with very amateurish playing by his
team-gave the visiting team ten runs.
France pitched the remaining innings,
and held his opponents down in batting.
The San Francisco infield, composed of
Cartwright, Sharp Smith and Britton,
did some of the best fielding that has
been seen here for a long time. Nearly a
dozen difficult ground hits were handled
in a manner that could not be improved
upon. Smiths chances were all very
hard ones.
McCloskey's batting in the game was
what saved his team from white
wash"
There was fair crowd in attendance,
and more excitement was noticeable than
for several weeks. Following is the
score:

The Senator's Put Up Poor Bah and

The sample of baseball put up by the
Sacramentos on Saturday III the game
with the San Francisco team was very
inferior, and it was no wonder the home
club suffered an inglorious defeat. Hoff-
man pitched, and received poorer sup
port than any crowd of players in the
California League ought to be guilty of
giving their pitcher. At the same time,
Holman himself was wild, and IL was
mainly his fault that the visiting team
succeeded IN getting their first runs.
McGuirk played with stiff leg, and
did some miserable work on first base,
and several others III the team did not
play ball as they should have played.
Hutchinson filled his position at sec
ond in good style. but was guilty of a
careless piece of base-running in the first
inning that should have called for Sc
we're fine from the management. He
knocked out Il home run, and failed to
touch either second or third base. He
was called out of course, by the umpire.
The San Franciscos gave Cobb excel
lent support, and won the game by a
score Of to 3.

BOTTOM LANDS.
The Assessment Increased on Those
Of J. B. Haggin.
No Change Made in the Assessors
Valuation of the Buffalo Brew
ing Property.

AT Saturdays session of the County
Board of Equalization the complaint oi
William Boyne against the assessment of
the Buffalo Brewing Company was taken
up for consideration.
Rather extended remarks were made
by Mr.. Boyne in support of his claim
that the $4,000 assessment on the COM
pany's property was far too low.
He was replied to at length by Adolph
!ieilbron, President of the brewery COM
i.,,ny, who said that the brewery had not
yet paid a dividend and probably would
not for couple of years to come; that
much of its capital was invested and
assessed in other counties; that the
buildings would not be either useful OF
valuable to anyone else if abandoned by
the companyj that the latter dispensed
$1,000 weekly here for labor, and that its
operation was saving from $4,000 to $780,
600 monthly that formerly went to other
breweries ouside the county.
Nj. Boyne was questioned by Super
visor Bates, and the fact was developed
that he knew nothing of his own knowl-
edge about the companv'S wealth.
At the conclusion of the discussion, Mr.
Bates moved that Boyne's request for an
increase of the company's assessment be
denied, and the board unanimously so
ordered.
THE HAGGIN GRANT.
In the matter of the petition of J. +.
Camp for an increase in the assessment
on sections 81, 62 and 63 of the Haggin
Grant, or Rancho del Paso, the board
raised the valuation thereon from 500 to
$50 per acre.
These sections lie along the American
River and contain some bottom land
which, 1t is claimed, is as good as that on
the south side, where the assessments
run from S75 to $50 per acre.
The board refused to grant the petition
OF John Rooney for general increase of
the assessment upon all portions of the
44,O00 acres in the grant, it being shown
that the upland was assessed at the same
valuation placed upon similar lands ad-
joining it.
VAN VOORHEES, d co.'s BOOK ACCOUNTS.
Application had been made by A. A.
Van Noorhies IL Co. asking that the as
sessment of S25, placed upon their
books be stricken off the roll. They
represented ''that the actual cash value
of said property at the time of said assess
ment did not exceed the firms actual
debts and mortgages that we have to pay
on elsewhere
William Bowles, a Brighton farmer,
filed protest against the granting of the
petition, and the board took up these
matters for hearing.
Mr.. Van Voorhies addressed the board
in behalf of the reduction asked for by
firm, claiming that it had been specially
singled out by the Assessor, who had
gone to extremes in discriminating
against them.
Assessor Irvine claimed, on his part, to
be well informed in the matter and that
u a ns,f ols
to be just one.
After some further discussion the board
reduced the amount from 900 to
$4,000.
1t is expected that the board will con-
clude its equalization business to-day.

CLASS SONG.
Following is the class song, which was
written by Miss Welty:
One bright day three years ago
High Minerva in her might,
Smiled upon us far below,
Burst upon our raptured sight
Oh IL was Il scene SO fair,
That whate'er might come we vowed
We would follow anywhere,
Ever round her altar crowd.
Each day charmed she us anew:
Made us willing devotees,
Placed fresh beauties in eur view
Ev'ry thing our minds 10 please;
Gave US teachers ever kind.
Anxious that we should advance
And "Ad Astra" to remind
We at lofty nights should glaecc.
Though we seek to penetrate
Wise Minerals secret realm.
Problems must solutions wait
Which our reasons weak oierwhelm
But afar there is q land
Where all mysteries are made known;
Wonders there Wen understand.
Fathom them in Heaven alone
The Recorder, a neat little weekly pub-
lished by r. N. Hunt, and largely de-
voted to High School matters, has the fol-
lowing:
''The graduating class of '9l have Sc
lected for their class motto 'Ad Astra.'
Many of the graduates will go to col
lege, while the greater part will branch
out into the world. Wherever thew po.
or whatever they pursue, we hope thew
will be successful and enjoy prosperous
