AT SACRAMENTO.

Danny Sweeney's Eome-Run Drive Won
the Game for Frisco.
SACRAMENTO, May l6.-Huston's poor
luck and wildness gave the San Franchises
tO-day's game. He gave five men bases on
balls, three Of whom scored. Most Of the
hits made off him were good hard hits, and
included two home runs, one triple and one
double. The home team backed him up

work. Both errors were very costly, how
ever, each letting III runs, and Wards error,
no doubt, lost the game. Had he retired

after long run. Rube Levy and little
Sweeney did some hard hitting each scOr-
ing a home run with men on the bases.
Rube's hit was dandy, the bail going away
over the Tight-feld fence. Sweeney's
homer" came in the ninth, with two men
on bases, aud won the game.
Young was hit harder than the score
would indicate, phenomenal catches by
Levy, Clarke, and a remarkable stop by
HaSsamer alone saving him. Levy was
very busy in left field, accepting seven diff
cult chances. one of which lie first mis-
judged, but managed to catch with one
hand after a high jump. In the first inning
he caught flies from the first three batters,
retiring the side.
Sheridan's umpiring was satisfactory to
b til Teams, and no fault could possibly be
found with his decisions. Tie visitors
scored three in the first inning, but the
home team took the lead in the fourth in
ming. The score was again tied in the sixth
and remained so until the ninth. In the

OVER THE BOW.
A Sailor of the DawpOOl Deserts
His Ship and SWims Ashore.

The British ship Dawpool sailed yester-
day for Liverpool, but she left minus one
man, who had shipped on her and who was
taken on board with the rest of the crew.
The man was seen by CALL reporter last
night and when asked how lie made lis
escape replied that he swan ashore. The
sailor said his name is John Wilson, but it
is thought that this is an assumed one.
Wilson said that when lie signed the
articles he intended going to sea; but afIer
signing he received letter from relative
living in Healdsburg Offering him lob
ashore, and he concluded TO accept the offer.
He had signed TO go and knew that the
boarding master would give him no chance
to leave, besides he had no money, so con-
cluded TO go on board as lie had few dol
lars due him from his advance. This he
received after he was on board.
Wilson was on the lookout all night for
boat, but the officers paced the deck through
the night and would not allow any to come
alongside, and therefore about O'clock i'm
the morning he made up his mind to swim
ashore. Picking out the best suit of clothes
he had he TIED them up in a handkerchief
and fastened it to his back. He then took
off all clothing, except cotton shirt and
pair OF drawers, and then lowered him self
over the bow into the water and struck ont
for the shore.
Wilson soon found that the tide was RIM
ming faster than he had reckoned on, so he
changed his course and swan to ship living
midway between the Dawpool and the shore
and, after hard struggle, managed TO reach
her, and rested himself by clinginp to the
anch0r-chain. He then once more started
Tor the shore, aud landed at Fishecmen's
Wharf, where he dressed himself and went

ticularly good, and frequently baff1ed his
Opponent. Hubbard's quiekuess on his feet
and strong Dack-hand play eventually won
the set for him by seven games to five. Hub
bard seemed IN better form in the second
set. He placed more accurately and brought
OFF several effective smasEes, and eventually
won by six games to two.
Bates, who had previoualy beaten San
born. gave TObln great tussle, and early
in the first set looked like a winner, the
score standing at 8 to 2. Tobin played with
great care and GOODNESS, which was necessi-
tated by single failure on his part mean

The score was taken to five all before Bates
scored another game, and he eventually

The committee appointed to call upon the
Health Officer and have him abate the cow
ranches in the nelghbOrhoOd reported that
the Health Officer had arrested one of the
offenders, whose case in the Police Court
was dismissed owing to the failure to prose-
cute the offender, who claimed the city Ordi-
nance relating to the twO-cow law is uncon-
stitutional.
The committee was instructed to request
the authorities to arrest another of the Of
Tending ranchers and have the case retired.
The club decided TO retain special counsel to
represent the club with the Health Depart

the ordinance for the removal of cow

An Old Trick Cleverly Worked by Captain
Ebright-Danny Sweeney Wins
Game for Frisco

Finn's team turned the tables on the Col
onePs yesterday afternoon, and came within
an ace Of serving Robinson's men with a
dose of the tame medicine that San Jose's
aggregation was forced to swallow at the
Emeryville grounds Friday. The contest
did not terminate in a whitewash, but the
men from across the bay had q narrow es-
cape. They were very fortunate in putting
one man across the plate in the third inning.
That solitary run remained on the score
board until the play finished.
1t was a "ginger" day wi th Harper. he
1Oated the ball up the aisle in every style
known to the professional, and it did not
seem to make any difference whether the
ball went up to the batter in fast mail time
or slowly sailed TO the plate at the pace of a
messenger boy. 1t was all the same to Col
onel RobinsOn's rld-beaters." They
could not bunch their hits, or to put IL prop
eEly, could hardly hit safely at all and the
leaders scored another easy victory.
The men sporting Santa Clara Valleys
cOlors played great game in the field. The
TITO OF double plays recorded IN the sum-
mary were the features of the contest and
tjey had such a dash and accuracy about
them that even the Disguised adherents of

lethargy and feebly appauded. Hanley's

ing seven chances, and planked out three
50 shots out of five times at bat. Everett
at short made four assists on hot chances,
and Ebright gathered in every thing that
came his way, with the exception of pop
fly.
Ebright refused to put his crooked fingers
about the ball on that occasion, but there
was a motive in the deed. An Oakland
baSe-runuer was at first and another stood
at second. HaTdie came to bat and hit up a
little pop fly toward third base. Ebright
ran under the ball as if to catch it, but
changed his mind aud allowed it to drop un-
touched. He then picked up the sphere,
touched third base, ard threw TO second
thereby forcing out both runners, who
should have sprinted to the next bag on the
play. 1t was a clever trick and neatly car
ried out.
Mars was touched up rather freely and in
the fifth inning four hits we're made by the
opposing strikers. CRntillion played his
usual excellent game at second, his catch of

incidents of the afternoon. The score:

POST STREET.
A Protest Against the Assessment
for Its Extension.

A number Of property holders interested
in the proposed extension Of Post street from
Central to First avenues met last evening
at the TOons of the Bear Club to protest
against the action of tue commission for
said extension in Ievying excessive assess
ments for the proposed Improvement.
In opening the meeting Angus McKillip
explained the urgent necessity of laying
such a protest before the Supervisors and
denounced the proposition of extension as
scheme of the Sutter-street Railway
Company and certain INSCRIPTIONS politi-
clans TO defraud honest people.
The meeting then went into permanent
organization with the election Of the follow
ing-named officers; Charles ii. Hubbs,
President; James McNabb, Vice President
James MeKilip, Secretary; ameS Brennan,
Treasurer. In reply to President Hubs
question, What are you going to do about
it2" james McNabb addressed the meeting
at length.
He said: Il am a kicker from Kicker
vile, but | do not understand the object of
this meeting. You say 1t is to protest
against an unreasonable assessment of pr0p-
erty along the line of the proposed extern
sion. How do you know that the assess
ment is excessive? The commission has not
yet submitted report and surely you are
acting ON suppoSitiOn aud eXertng your
selves against an imaginary evil. We will
shake hands with the devil when we meet
him. Having organized, l move e adjourn
until the report Of the commission can be
examined"
Some of the members objected, but Nc
Nabb's speech had the effect of smothering
the flame OF protest, which was burning
high at the opening Of the meeting.
