A LONG HAUL HITCH.
The Subject Which Now Worries the
Baseball Magnates,
To-Day VIII Probably Determine the
Question of a Consolidated Pa
cific Coast League.

The Pacific Coast baseball consolidation
scheme is by no means an accomplished
fact as yet There is dissension among
the baseball magnates. While President
None and Managers Finn, Harris, Rock
well and Hardie are in favor of the plan,
Managers Robinson and Hudson are OPP
posed to it, and Mrs. Vice would like to
know what she paid 81, 500 for, if it was
not for the Sacramento franchise.
How Magnate Bushnell stands is not
entirely known, but he viii he in favor
of consolidation if he can be convinced
that it will not prove failure.
If the railroad company will give the
rate asked by baseball managers the
scheme will go through; if not, it will
fall
Manager Rockwell, who is the present
Secretary and Treasurer of the league.
says that there will be no further meet
ing of the managers on the matter for
some time, at least. The matter has been
canvaSSed at length, and all parties at
present in San Francisco are in favor of
consolidation, providing a suitable trans
portation rate can be had.
An answer from the railroad company
will be received to-day, and Managers
Hardie and Van Derbeck will return
north and see Bushnell and Hudson. and
then a decision will be reached Of
course, if the railroad company refuses to
give a rate on which the clubs can keep
travelling long distances without making
financial loss, the whole scheme will fall
through.
Hudson, who owns half of the Port
land club, opposes the consolidation on
account of the 80 per cent. division of
gate receipts.
The schedule is peculiar, but it is
claimed to be good one, and it is thought
viii please every one. The season opens
with all the clubs playing in California
for six weeks. Then ell Will go north for
three weeks. Then they change around,
some being up north and some south.
The season viii end, as it began, in Cali
fornia.
Van Derbeck was formerly an owner in
the Portland club. He has been down at
Los Angeles, and Will probably be at the
head OF the club in that city, if Los An
geles gets in. In that case the six clubs
will be: Los Angeles, San jose San
Francisco, Portland, Seattle and Tacoma.
1t is difficult, however, to see how a
league can be organized, with any hope of
success, by leaving Sacramento out. This
city is on the direct route of the clubs
going to and from San Francisco and the
northern cities, and always extends a
liberal patronage to good ball-playIng.
To leave out Sacramento and take in os
Angeles, hundreds of miles away in the
southern part of the State, looks like the
hight of folly.
The term crank" is popularity applied
TO those who go to witness ball-playing.
but it begins to look as if the so-caIIed
"magnates" are better entitled to that
questionable distinction.

the End of His Rope.
PEsCADERo, December %, 1891.
EDS. RECoRD-U NIoN: This is another
of those inflated towns which people hear
so much about, but have to find with a
44-caliber search-light and microscope,
if they really want to find them.
Pescadero was founded by the canni-
balls in 11l2, but for a good many years
nobody else found it. Nobody tried
to. Finally some Patagonians got
stranded here and remained because thew
couldn't help it, and beside the fog was
so thick they didn't know there was any
place else.
There amt any place else like Pesca-
dero. After the Patagonians were all
cooked, some Esquimeaux settled here.
the cannibals settled them here Since
then the town had not been visited by
foreigners until l arrived. The present
population are not man-eaters, as they
got out of the habit (or out of mem and

which somehow get around into the mid

The popular costume in vogue here,
and worn upon all occasions, by all con-
ditions of society, is the coocyuSe-pro-
nounced shirt" This is built of gunny-
sacks, cut bias and trimmed with the same,
with holes in the bottom for the neck and
arms-the bottom of the sack; when
worn, however, it is used upside down
or, l should say. bottom-end up-and
they have to get into it wrong-end to,
too. All, me!
The future prospect for the place is
very obscure intimation, owing, doubt
less, to the fog. Values here will never
shrink any more, however, and pur-
chasers, If there were any, would know
what they were buying if they had it out
on shore.

The Chief of Police just took shot at
me with some kind of harpoon made
out of a catapult and pile-driver, and

As soon as the holidays sober up, or
subside, and the country settles down to
the discussion of the Chilean question,

fair, with opinions of the leading citizens
appended. AS it now stands, we can
