TIP TALKS.

He Gives BIS Reasons why the Colonels
Do Not Win Oftener.
Why do not the Oaklands win more
games? That is the question asked on
ell sides among admirers Of the national
game all over California. Thus far no
one has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem. Colonel Robinson has been CEN
sured, Captain Carroll has been blamed
and q dozen other theories have been
advanced. 1t is generally admitted that
the Colonels have had just as good ma
terial as any other club in the league.
They have certainly played in the hard
est kind OF luck and were handicapped
seriously at the start, but there must be
something else besides this. The
writer met the effervescent Tip
O'Neil e last night. Tip is one Of
the dressiest men in the profession and
last night looked more like q young Wall
street nagnate than the center fielder of
q tail-end ball club. Tip was as genial
as politician who had just received
the nomination for some important
Office, probably because the Colonels
had that afternoon taken fall out of
the Angels, and Tip had himself con-
tributed more than his quota by making
three hits.
"There is lack of team work about
our men, and none want to take any
said Tip. 1.-THE boys are all
playing for individual records. This is
not to be wondered at when the many
changes that have been made are con.
especially as most of the boys
want to hang on to their jobs. That is
why the Colonels do not try many plays
at critical times. In short everybody is
for himself in the Oakland team.

THE oUTFALL SEWER.

The Points Made for Mr. Freeman by .
Correspondents. n
The HERALD is in receipt OF q COM
munication in reply to an attack by q
writer named Citizen" upon Mr.. Dan
Freeman, in the Evening Express of
Tuesday.
The writer of the communication very
forcibly and successfully argues that
few or no men in Southern California
have done half as much for the public
as has Mrs. Freeman, and proves that
people who wonder at Mr.. Freeman's
objection to having the outfall sewer
pass through the Centinela, if they were
in his place, would make just as strong
objections. Mr.. Freeman, it is shown,
by his large holdings Of real estate in
this city, has as much interest in the
prosperity of the town as any one.
The letter is strong showing Of Mr..
Freeman's side of the question, and
would be published in full if space per-

Hit and Miss Gossip About the Game
Yesterday.
Balsz made corking three-bagger.

Horner and Roach will in all proba-

In Justice to Balsz it should be stated
that he did not fell we'll yesterday, and
only went in at the earnest request of
'Glenalvin.
''Sure Pop'' McCauley is laid up with
q severe strain. 1t is thought that he

Wilson was the only Colonel that did
not get hit.
Tredway, Glenalvin and Hulen each

Captain Glenalvin is playing great
ball in the present home series. He has

Tredway played tip-top ball, and he is
q sick man into the bargain.

Hard Luck.

OaAlNAuS ~, A<Ob <AA6SASSp Os
It was ladies' day, and the Angels
again fell victims to the hoodoo part of
the calendar. They also fell victims to
the hard batting of the Colonels. The
latter gave the game away once or twice
by deliberately going to pieces, but by
good, hard hitting and an occasional
blunder by their opponents, they man
aged to win theiriweekly game.
The Angels are all out Of condition.
When they first started to take their
positions in the field they looked like
the convalescent ward of hospital 60
ing out for sun bath. Most of them
are unfit to be in the field, but they do
the best they can under the circum-
stances.
The Los Angeles team began to get
runs in the first inning. Wright got his
base on balls. Tredway was first sfter
forcing Rasty out at second. Glenalvin
hit two-bagger to left, scoring Tred-
way. Stafford should have been thrown
out At first, but Shea threw wild and
Glenalvin scored on the play.
Oakland made none, nor did either
side score again until the last half of the
third. 1t looked like one or more for
Oakland in the second, but Tredway and
Faithful Jimmy both accepted hard
chances and shut them out.
Then came the Colonels' half of the
third. O'Neill made q base hit to left.
Hutchinson bunted safely, as did Car
roll also, filing the bases. A wild pitch
scored O'Nelll and Hutchinson, advanc-
ing Carroll to third. Turner was given
his base on balls, and Manassau scored
him on drive to left field. Whitehead
bunted safely; three runs, no one out,
and two men on bases. Wilson hit
fly In Rasty's hands; one out. German
hit safely to center, scoring Turner and
Manassau. Shea went out on fly to
Tredway, and the side was retired on
fine throw by Stafford off O'Neill's base
hit to right field, heading off German at
the rubber.
Then the Angels got in and made
three. Hulen swatted out a fine two.
bagger to center. Rogers hit to left and
Balsz advanced him on a sacrifice.
Rasty hit hot one to Hutchinson, who
fumbled it and then threw wild to first,
and both Hulen and Rogers scored. |
Tredway hit to deep left, scoring Rasty.
Hasamaear went out on a difficult catch |
by Whitehead, and Glenalvingdied at
first. s
Oakland made another in their half
on line drive that was too hot for
Hulen to hold and nice hit to center
by German.
Los Angeles again tied the score in
their half of the sixth on a close decis-
ion at first, but Oakland took strong
lead in their venture by a similar de-
cision at second and a streak of good |
hitting.
After the game was lost Balsz changed |
places with Stafford, but it was too late
TO do any good. Below is the official
score.

equally popular baronet's daughter.
How he did make the money fly! He
gave me diamond pin, my clerk got a
five pound note, and the two witnesses,
both sporting men, a "tenner' each.
Some of the terms he used were decidedly
horsy. For instance, he referred af-
fectionately to his love as ''smart little
filly; little bit skittish; wants careful
jockeyship. but demon when she gets
the bit in her mouth, and yet the smart
est in the field!'
Look at the rare style she comes to

walked up the room; and ''now we're

Some interesting processes in obtain
ing distilled or lighter products from
mineral oils have been described by DR..
Laing, of Edinburgh, before the Royal
Scottish Society of Arts. Among these
he names the arrangement of still in
such manner that the oil is continu-
ously being distilled into itself until the
required density is obtained. Dr.. Laing
showed that radiant heat is powerful
agent in breaking down oil vapors, and
can be utilized by passing the gases as
they leave the still through a super
heater at high temperature, placed
between the still and the condenser
His ingenious method for distilling
under pressure-by means of which a
hold is kept on all the considerable gases
until liquefed-he describes as consist
ing of a relief tank interposed between
the pressure valve and the condenser,
into which the gases escape as they come
from the still, the pressure here getting
distributed over such a large area that
it is practically reduced to nil, the oil
running to the receiver at ordinary at
mospheric pressure.
Dr. Laing's new form of still for pre-
venting oils being broken down, as in
distilling for lubricating oils and paraf-
fine wax, is so constructed that the non
conducting heavy residues which are
continually forming under distillation
are constantly being removed from the
source of heat.-New York Sun.

A little vessel having a remarkable
history has piled for years on Lake Tan
ganyika Her story illustrates the prog
ress in that region from slavery toward
civilization. The boat, known as the
Calabash, was originally huge tree
trunk, cut down by the axes of the ma
tives with enormous labor, and then
with ak and adj and fire nodded into
shape. Boats like the Calabash are ex-
cellent sea vessels, though in their lines
they suggest rather clumsy hippop )ta-
mus than swan.
On one of her voyages, after she had
served as trading canoe for two years,
she entered the port of Ujiji, where she
was bought by an Mswahii slave trader.
For three years she piled back an I forth
across the lake, bringing carEoes of
wretched men, women and children to
the Ujiji slave market. One day a load
of slaves had just been lande,i on the
shore when Mr.. Hore, who had recently
come to Ujiji as an agent of tie London
Missionary society, saw the little craft
and decided that she was ] ,ist about
what he needed for exploratory voyages
around the lake.
He succeeded in purchasing her, and
the little boat was once more launched
upon Tanganyika as the first missionary
vessel on the lake. Consecrated to the
cause of peace she became known in
time to every tribe as the harbinger Of
good will-Chicago Post.

THERE is nothing so elastic as the hu-
man mind. Like imprisoned steam, the
more it is pressed the more it rises to
resist the pressure. The more we are
obliged to do, the more we are able to
accomplish.
IF we stand in the openings of the
present moment. with all the length and
breadth of our faculties unseltishly ad-
justed to what it reveals, we are in the
best condition to receive what God is al
ways ready to communicate.
