HONORS WERE EASY.
Two Games Between Sacramento and
San Jose Yesterday.
Each Captured one-Catcher spies
Meets With Painful Accident
at the Afternoon Game.

Despite the threatening weather there
was good attendance of spectators at
Snowflake Park yesterday afternoon, and
the Sacramentos and San Joses played
two good games of baseball. They split
even, however, the Dukes winning the
urst contest and the Senators the second.
In the first game Lookabaugh and Par
rott did the pitching for their respective e
teams, and both did splendid work
Hits were few and widely scattered, and
1twas Stallings' home-run that saved the
san Joses from defeat. 1t was a very
timely drive and gave San Jose the lead
and the victory
San Jose made the first run in the sec
ond inning, when McVey took first base
on four balls and scored on an overthrow
by Parrott to first base.
Sacramento tied the score in the third
inning. Parrot reached the initial on
balls, was forced to second and scored on
, Hassamer's single and McVey's error.
In the seventh inning Sacramento took
the lead. Roberts went to first base on a
hit, to second on PARROTS sacrifice, to
third on Dooley's error of a throw by
Ebright and home on a throw by Stall
Hngs TO second base to shut off Ward.
San Jose was not long in closing the
gap, and in the same inning they made
two runs, which gave them the victory.
MeNey'S two-bagger and hGme-run by
Stallings decided the game. Following
Is the score:

AN EASY SNAP.
sacramento Had a Walk Over-Painful
Accident to a Player.

Sacramento Had a Walk -Over-Painful
Accident to Player.
Sacramento had a walk-over in the sec
ond game. The visitors made some dis
astrous misplays at critical times, and
lost through their own carelessness.
Hoffman and Harper did the pitching,
and both twirled in fine form.
An unfortunate accident in the sixth
inning had the effect of drawing the
interest from the game to a marked ex-
tent. Spies, while up behind the bat,
was struck on the shoulder by a foul tip.
He Immediately threw off his mask and
commenced to rub his arm and shoulder
The plucky catcher had been hit so often
of late that the audience did not think
much of it, and when he put on his mask
again and was about to resume work
they thought the accident was nothing
serious.
Spies evidently thought so, too, but he
swung his left arm and then suddenly
discovered that all was not right He
stopped again, and an examination
proved that his collar-bone had been
broken. There were expressions of sym-
pathy on all sides for the plucky but I'M
fortunate player.
Spies was taken from the grounds in a
hack and it is probable that he will not
be able to play again this season. By
his retirement the California League
loses its greatest catcher. Every man
ager in the League regards him as the
best backstop and thrower that ever
played ball in the West.
McHale took Spies place behind the
bat, and Parrott went into center field.
Both players filed their positions per-
fectly. Parrott proved to be an expert
fielder. He is as spry as cat, and his
antics in the field provoked considerable
laughter. Following is the score.

DEEIANT DIVES
Mayor Comstock Takes the Matte,
Into His Own Hands,


At its last session the Board of CITY
Trustees ordered revoked the licenses of
Mrs Marcellus and William Bowman,
who are proprietors Of dives on Second
street. They had been conducting their
places in such disorderly manner that
the neighbors complained.
The Trustees notified the Chief of Po-
lice of their action, and he in turn noti-
fed the dive-keepers.
! But the dives didn't close. Mayor Com
stock learned Of this, and last evening he
visited the locality to ascertain for him
self what was going on, The Marcellus
place had been open Saturday night. but
| last night it was closed. The Bowman
| place, however, was running full blast
last night, and after Watering a number
of persons drinking the Mayor went to
the Police Station. He found Chief Drew
there and took him to task. The Chief
| said Bowman had notified him that the
Mayor had givon him permission to run
the dive until his present license ex-
pired. The Mayor denied yehemently
that he had ever given any such perrnis-
sion, and insisted that the place be closed
The Chief then detailed Officer Campbell
to carry out the Mayors order.
The officer evidently struck a snag, for
at last accounts last night the place was
still open in defiance of the city authori-
ties.

Japanese Women.

It would be hard TO say how Christian
ity-in-name, as We usually have it, could
improve the conduct OF character Of the
Japanese women, who seem always to
have been very good Christians without
knowing it, if We are to believe Miss
Bacon. Perhaps the answer to the con-
undTum is that Christianity is not pri-
marily n purifying force, but is first an
enlightening force that its ideal IS
virtue, not ence-Gethsemane, not
Eden. The harmlessuess Of the dove
will not avail without the wisdom of the
serpent; the impulse of our faith IS to-
ward consciousness, knowledge No
doubt this is what the Japanese feel in
it probably it IS what makes them will
ing to change their civilization for ours
They really seem a race Of better and
sweeter nature than ours Ives; unless
their witnesses misrepoIt them they are
gentler, kinder, even truer, than We are
naturally.
But something seems lacking TO them,
AMI they look toward US for it they
fancy spiritual possibilities on the plane
which we tell them isabove theirs The
fine perfection Of their art is a stunted
beauty i has never the infinite reach
of the Greek the loveliness of their
lives is childlike it has not the celestial
aspiration of the Hebrew and no doubt
they feel this as clearly as they perceive

Tanning a Shrew.

at supper a lady Of her acquaintance.

upon the table small pot Of chocolate.
The hostess Ofthe occasion was very fond
of the beverage il question, partaking of
it every evening Of her life. Unfortu-
nstely the servant had neglected to make
more than the usual quantity, which was
Just about sufficient for a single cup.
Accordingly, when the guest was asked
if she would have some, she hesitated q
moment and said no. E-hereupon her
entertainer flushed with anger az the
coafgtsmps and, rising from her seat,
deliberately poured the contents of the
pot oct Of the window.
This was embarrassing for the lady en-
tertained. 10 say the least Of il. OF
course, she pretended 70 take no notice,
merely glaneing At her host, who made
the third person at the repast, to see if
he evidenced any consciousness respect

slightly beneath his mustache and made

Presently be asked her if she would
have some chicken salad, Of which big
dishf1l made the principal feature among

Il thank you, nc" she replied. merely
because she had a preference for some
thing else.
Immediately, as if it were a matter Of
course, the host picked ID the chicken
selad and threw it, dish and all, out the
window into the garden.
