Notes Of the Players.

Charley DOoley, who is playing such an
admirable first base for the San Jose team,
played with the crack Los Angeles Club
some years ago, says the Herald. The sport
Ing editor unearthed Dooley. 1t was In
boom days, and the handsome Charley was
then looking after the circulation of a
local paper. The Philadelphias were
scheduled to play one Sunday. Los An
Reles had a great team, which included
such Well-knOwn players as Joe Quest,
Whitehead, Ebright, JeVne and WilInOt.
The day for the great baseball match came
around. but the pitcher that was expected
failed TO arrive and alter a cOEfab It was
aScertained that DOOley had pitched for q
Club in one Of the minor leagues in Penn
sylvania. Consequently DoOley was Sc
lected TO DO the twiring.
The game was played at Sixth-street
Park. Wood was first up for the PhiIlies

Poor jim Fogerty was the next batter. He
kept up the racket and sent the first ball
clean out Of the grounds. This settled the
good-iooEing Mr. Dooley. Three home-runs
for three pitched balls is the world record
In justice to Mr. DOoley it should be stated
that he went into the pitchers box without
any preparation.
During these pleasant winter DAYS the
ballplayers divide their spare time be-
tween taking consolidation and eating
clans. The former is done most anywhere.
but the latter and more cheerful pastinie is
confined exclusively to the wave-washed
shores OF Alameda, which break abruptly
~ the foot Of Second avenue. Regularly
once each week party from this side Joins
crowd Of those who live across the bay
ana indulge In barbecue Of boiled clans
mixed with hard, indigestibe sand from
Alameda's shore. Lou Hardie owns the
pot III which the bivalYes are cooked, and
Patsy Cahill furnishes the shovel with
which they are eXhuned from their living
graves. Most any bright afternoon Lon
may be seen driving along the beach with a
huge black iron Dot dangling from the near
axle of his buggy. If he sees party whom
be thinks has designs upon the waterv-
eyed clam Of Alameda he politely proffrrs
his pot, and then goes In search OF Patsy
and his shovel.
In digging for clans Patsy employs
system which he introduced here himself.
He first selects spot where he thinks the
CLANS are browsing, all unconscious of their
danger. Then he digs hole about four
feet square in the sand, starts one side tO
caying in and follows this miniature land
slide. picking up the clans as they are ex-
posed TO view. In this way he soon gets

SHARP WINS.
He Carries Off the HOnOrs on
Roller Skates.

Three hundred circuits an hour In the
largest practicable space in the Mechanics
Pavilion are well calculated 10 make one

1t by the number of hours in the day in the
lunar cycle ending at 10 o'clock last evening.
The event was race on rollers for twenty
four hours. which commenced at 10 o'clock
