VAN ZANT MUST GO.
The Third Baseman Will Leave
for Tacoma.

There Is superstitiouS feeling existing
among a certain class OF local base ball pa
irons that Jonah" of large magnitude
hOvers about the third corner of the San
Francisco club. Third base in the old Hay-
eriy nine aud later in the present Frisco
team has always been regarded as an I'M
lucky spot. Managers Harris and Finn eX-
perieHced considerable trouble with their
third baseman. and the developments Of the
past few days will tend 10 strengthen the
superstitions of the cranks.
When Harris signed Dick Van Zant as his
captain and third baseman it was believed
that he would not be bothered in the future
concerning the difficult corner. but his
troubles have just commenced. Van Aant
VIII play his last games with the home team
this week. and next Sunday night leaves
Sacramento for Iacoma, where he will finish
the season with the club of that place.
Ii was thought that Van Zant would surely
be allowed by the Board Of Control to re-
main III the California League, but that
body has decided otherwise Last week
Harris forwarded to Washington a lot OF
atfidaYts and documents bearing on the
case, and in the face of all this evidence
Young rendered a decision adverse to the
san Francisco magnate. So Van Zant Will
be forced TO return TO the city where last
year he won fame but not fortune through
his splendid batting and fielding.
The player is mol at all pleased with the
prospect before him. He said lie dsl ked
TO leave California with the record he had
made here He said he knew he is capable
OF playing better ball shan lie had furnished
and was 10th to have the people here think
him TO be not what his manager had repre-
scented. Van up to date had partlcip ated
in 70 games, was 101 times at bat, made II,
runs, p base hits and stole one base. His
batting average is 219. At third he had 90
put outs. 20 assists and q errors, giving him
a fielding percentage Of S53.
Manager Harris, in order to ill the va
cancy caused by Van ZRnt's departure, has
signed Nick Smith, the local player, who a
few years ago played third base for the
Pioneer team and led the California League
in batting. Smith since that time filed en-
Eagements with the Denver and Kansas City
teams. He is reported to be in splendid
condition, and with little practice it is
said, will be able TO hold down third base in
his old Time form. He has been prHcticing
with the San Francisco team during the past
few days.
This afternoon the San Jose and San
Francisco teams will play at the Haight-
street grounds with the ma kp-un aS fnlIOU-S.
