JUST LIKE PICKING CHERRIES,
The Angels and the Alleged
Champions Meet
And Victory Perches Upon the Banner
of the Former.
A Game in Which Errors Played an In
pertant Part Notes and Cos
sip About the Pas
time.

II could hardly be called comedy of
errors, for Louie Balez stood in the
box and put up the game of his life; nor
was it tragedy, for the mistakes were
of too laughabie a nature to be treated
seriously. So one could call the game of
baseball played yesterday afternoon at
Athletic park happy medium between
the two.
The game was continuation OF the
same old contest between the alleged
champions and the Babies Of the league,
and it wes played on approved lines up
to the eighth inning. OF course every
baseball patron looks for just go many
errors by Hiram Buckram Ebright, and
the local batters are sure to find
the curves of the San Jose pitchers
for reasonable number of safe
hits. Had the game been played
out with the vim and dash with
which the Angels began it, the
result would have been shut-out for
the visitors. So up to the eighth inning
the game was matter-of-fact one,
with the score 8 to o in favor OF the
Cherubs. In the eighth, however-but
UudL IL anticipating.
Although the. Angels touched up Mr..
Harper for hit in each of the first two
innings, no runs were scored until the
third. Hulen started that inning with
a single, and was advanced to second on
base on balls to Balsz. Stafford's hit
scored Hulen, and a passed ball, Dem
ny's error of McCauley's drive, sacri-
fee by Rasty and singles by Glenalvin
and Lytle allowed three mere runs to be
tailed.
Again in the fifth inning singles by
Tredway and Lytle and two-bases 'bunt"
by Baldwin netted couple of runs, and
the came number were added in the
seventh on base on balls to Tredway,
Glenalvin's double, Clark's overthrow
to second and Lytle's sacrifice hit.
Up TO this time Louie had allowed his
opponents only one hit. In the laet
half of the eighth inning Stallinge started
off with hot liner that nearly broke
Balsz's instep. Stallings stole second
and was sacrificed to third by Harper,
and scored on McGucken's single. Then
the home team became visionary. The
next two men should have been easy
out, buterrors gave them life. and before
the smoke cleared away the Dukelets had
a total Of three runs to their credit
Then they again settled down and played
ball to the end of the chapter.
The score follows:

The Bashful Mans BIunder.

A bashful young man had tender re-
gard for the daughter of certain farmer
living not a great many miles from this
city. The young man in question had
acquired the habit of visiting on Sunday
afternoon the young lady who was the
subject of his affection. AS time wore on
the young man began to feel more at home
on his visits to the farmhouse, and from an
occasional stopping for supper it grew to
be the regular thing with him to eat
supper with his prospective parents-in-
law. This was very agreeable to the
young man, but quite the contrary to the
parents-in-law.
He was treated coolly by the old folks,
but the warmth OF his own feelings for the
young lady and the reciprocity by the
young lady was such that a slight GOODNESS
was not felt. Upon one of the occasions
when the young man was taking Sunday
| supper with the family the good house.
wife had prepared bountiful supply OF
biscuits. When they had seated themselves
at the table the prospective father-in-law
passed the plate of biscuits to the bashful
young man.
''Have biscuit?" he said
The bashful young man set one of the
steaming biscuits beside his plate. 'Have
another; they're small" the father-in-law
said.
The bashful young man timidly took an
other and placed it beside the first.
''Have another; they're very small"
Again the young man, lacking the cour-
age to decline, took biscuit.

whole contents of the plate in front of the
young man, with the remark, "Take them

The bashful young man stopped his Wis

smile to go around the table at the farm

TlMND HIS PETITION,
Harrisen's Request for DR.. Gallagh
Release Goes Unheaded

Harrissn's Request for DR.. Gallagher's a
Release Goes Unheeded.
NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-"I have it from
the most trustworthy source that the
cabinets deliberations over the
presidents request to release
DR.. Gallagher and other Irish
Americans who were engaged in
the dynamite plot have so far come
to naught," says the Herald's London
correspondent. land that negative re-
ply will probably be sent to the
charge d'affaires within few days.
The only thing that saves
the request from the ridicule
the press, is the fact of it's origin in
so high a source as the state department
at Washington, and there are even
papers bold enough to hint that the
presidents application was made out at
time when it was certain to effect his
political aspirations.

Aats for the Season.

"My halter" (every well dressed man
mas hatter) was asked about mems
hats. What was to be the thing and so
on, for these are things about which
men want to know, and the women are
just as anxious about the subject. No
woman who cares a rap about her hus-
band is uninterested in the sort of hat
he wears. He can wear any sort OF
collar, and she won't notice the differ
ence, but when it,comes down TO hats it
must be in accordance with her idea--at
least she thinks so. This is what the
batter of one man tolq him:
OF course you will have derby. 1t
won't be the same old derby, but it will
he a derby. The fashion in derbies is in

Old derby. The straw hat had its day,
for the season is over. l never sold as
few white plug hats in my life as have
this season. Usuallya presidential year
brings out some sort of campaign hat.
1t hasn't been so this summer. Time
was in a presidential year when you
conld tell mans politics by the hat he
wore, but it can't be done any more-at
least not this campaign.
How many black silk hats have You
seen worn by well dressed men this
year? OF course there will always be
silk hats, but l am almost persuaded
that the hatmakers are just now hesitat-
ing. The time is ripe for something new
in mems beadgear. hardly know what
to advise you to buy-that is, if you are
going to confine yourself to one hat.
There will be a hat for the season, yes.
But it won't be alarmingly new. 1t is
too bad, for In other respects the Amer

to dinner, sat quietly chatting in cor

told that patient had come to see hin,
who was strongly recommended by
some fellow practitioners. The doctor
submitted with bad grace and stepped
into his surgery.
Our physician was in the habit of as
pertaining the condition Of the patient
by asking him to count, and generally
stopped him at thirty or thirty five
quite long enough for the purpose. This
time also DR.. P asked his patient to
count. Time passed on, and the guests
began to feel alarmed at his protracted
absence. One of them opened the sur
gerry door. DR.. P had gone to sleep
IN his armchair, and the patient had
counted up to e,642.-Matin.

Chinese Surgery.

Like most things in China, the prac-
tice of surgery differs considerably from
that in vogue in less enlightened west
ern countries. Bone setting in the Ce-
lestial empire is complicated affair, and
doubtless much more sticacious than
European methods. In setting frac-
tured limb the surgeon does not attempt
to bring the bones together, but merely
wraps the limb in red clay, inserting
some strips Of bamboo into the clay.
These strips are swathed in bandages,
and in the outer bandage the head of a
live chicken is placed. Here comes in
the superior science of the Celestial.
After the bandage has been secured the
fowl is beheaded and its blood is al
lowed to penetrate the fracture, for it
nourishes the fractured limb and is

How the Continents Attract Seas,

The effect of gravitation in heaping up
the sea waters upon the shores of cont
nents is one Of the most interesting. as
well as the most curious and least con-
sidered, facts in connection with old
oceans history. Thus the continents
are all situated at tops of great hills or
mountains of water, and to cross the At
lantic or any other ocean the ship has
to first go down the sloping sheet, cross
the valley and then climb the noun
tain Of water on the other side before it
safely reaches harbor.
In this connection the interesting cal
culation has been made that in mid
ocean on the Atlantic the depression is
