WILD AND WOOLLY
Baseball as They Play 1t
at Piedmont.
HITS IN THE TALL GRASS.
The Snag That Nicholas Lookabaugh
Encountered Was What Lost the
Game for Sacramento.

The game of baseball that took place ia
Piedmont yesterday afternoon was wild
and woolly and none too good In spots. In
it Nicholas Lookabaugh. pitching for the
Sacramento team, ran up against snag In
the shape of coterie of heavy hitters kept
by Henry Harris Of San Francisco. and
before he could recover from the shock OF
the encounter the game with its prospects
and its glowing possibilities haa gone
from his sight never to return. 1t had
gone to Join Uncle Heury's notable collec-
ton OF victories.
The score was IL to s; which is not so
bad on paper, but it was the manner in
which those runs were made, especially
those that San Francisco made. that caused
the spectators some ennui.
There were errors with ragged edges
and errors with glded WHISPERS, and they
were costly. 1t seemed as il the players
would sometimes wait until all the posi-.
bllities that could attach to an error were
ripe and mellow and then they lugged IN
the error at the proper time, and the runs
came.
Nicholas Lookabaugh also failed to bring
his eye in touch with the location OF the
home plate at critical periods in the
games progress and the result OF this
was that eight of Uncle's men walked to
first base on called balls. and once run
was forced in on balls.
While the hitting was profuse, it was
not of the robust kind. 1t seldom is at
Piedmont. Several crops of hay have al
ready this season been cut from the Pied
mont outfield and placed on the market.
and now another golden harvest awaits
tue reaper's sickle. The golden heads OF
grain nod and sway in the gentle breezes.
bending heavy with their weight, and seem
to beckOn the husbandman, but when the
ball goes skating across the open and
strikes into the waving sea it just cuts
few little capers and then kaflumiXes.
d Levy's home run was over the fence,
but Peoples was about the shortest home
run hit on record. The ball just went a
little way over Ebrght's head and got
lost in the uncut hay, while Peoples con-
tinued around the circuit. MeGreevey's
pitching was uniformly good, though
there was not a strikeout on either side.
To-day at Haight street Sacramento's
phenomenal pitcher, Damman, will pitch,
aud Balsz will be in for San Francisco.
Game at 8 o'clock. Yesterdays scors:

OAKLAND'S FRONT
Argument of Attorneys
Consumes the Day.
Mr.. Moore of Railroad Counsel Sc.
verely Criticizes the Officials
Across the Bay.

In the Oakland waterfront case in the
United States Circuit Court yesterday
morning Harvey Brown of counsel for the
Southern Pacific called Judge McKenna's
attention to a number of legal authorities
bearing upon the case, and which he de-
sired the court TO look up.
After Mr.. Brown had concluded Attor-
ney Pringle began his argument on behalf
of the city of Oakland. He reviewed tine
case from the standpoint of the defend
ants, referring to the recent Chicago de-
cison, and touched in caustic terms upon
the railroads effort to acquire the entire
Oakland water front. The official map OF
the city Of Oakland was introduced to
illustrate the extent of the railroads claim.
The claim Of the latter that the property
was private seemed strange. he said, when
the company did not dare to set forth how
they had obtained the lease from Carpen-
tier. or in what manner he had acquired
his title.
Mr.. Pringle closed his remarks at 8 :25
O'Clock in the afternoon after exhaustive
quotations from authorities and decisions
in support of the claims Of the Oakland
officials.
A. A. Moore. representing the railroad,
followed. He began by citing the action
of the Oakland authorities on the 9th of
july III Veal iuS up luC VI LILO GULL
plainant. and in their countenancing and
encouraging the violent acts which then
took place.
The police also came in for a share OF
Mr. Mo0re's criticism. He then stated
that the Improvement of the waterfront
property and sales Of the same had been
prevented by the obstructive action of the
people of Oakland, who bad so injured the
title to the land that nothing could be done
with it.
The defendants or their predecessors, he
said. could have purchased title to the
land for streets to deep water long ago for
less money than The amount of their coun.
sci fees.
Similar litigation in Spokane was cited.
where the title to the water front was in
question and where the city had assumed
exactly similar grounds to that held ia the
present instance by the city of Oakland,
and in which Spokane was nOnsuited.
Shortly after O'Clock the court ad-
journed until this morning.

Trouble About a Drugstore.

Another scene in the disputed title to
the possession Of the drugstore at the
southwest corner of Pine and Kearny
streets was enacted yesterday. Charles
Wenkel. the man in possession, was ar
rested for perjury on complaint Of John A.
McGeoch, the man who wants possession.
and Philip Ray, the porter in the store, who
is boy Is years Of age, was arrested for
using vulgar language. Wenkel states that
McGroch got l0cksmith and two other
men and took possession of the store earlv
yesterday morning. When he got there
they drew revolvers upon him and when
the boy came IN and was TOLD TO clear ont
he made use of an expression more forcjble
than polite. Wenkel went to the Sheriff
office and got a Deputy Sheriff To take
possession of the store by virtue of an
attachment he had previously obtained
for several hundred dollars the store owed
him. Further developments are expected
to-day.

The Southern Pacific Will Maintain

Another meeting of great Importance to
the San Joaquin Valley Railroad was he'll d
in Manager Leeds Office yesterday after
noon and attended by a number of local
capitalists and members of the Traffic
Association.
The plan for securing the money neces-
sary for the construction of the new line
was fully discussed and every gentleman
present pledged himself to subscribe liber-
ally for stock and to urge his friends to do
likewise.
A number of commission merchants
have been urging the Southern Pacific
officials to reduce the freight rate on
raisins in order that the growers in Cali.
fornia can compete with the Valencia and
Zante product. AS usual, they were in
formed that owing to the traffic arrange
ments existing between the Southern
Pacific and its Eastern connections. no
relief could be granted at present. The
raisin-erowers are asking for / cent

expecting to crush out its popular COMPETE
tor. After figuring on the loss that would
result to them by such course, the
scheme has been dropped and some other
and less expensive method will be adopted.
The Southern Pacific fully realizes that
something must be done to check the in
creasine business Of the Rosalie, and it is
generally predicted that the next move to
come from Fourth and Townsend will be
a reduction Of the rate to 5 cents. BY such
a reduction they expect to crush their op-
position.

Mr.. Wilder politely said that if 1 o'clock
suited Mr.. Pratt he would return at that
lime. MIR. Pratt replied that that hour
suited him we'll enough, and away he
went. MIR. Wilder waited from l o'clock
until after 4, but Mr.. Pratt did not return.
When CALL reporter saw MIR. Pratt at
O'Clock he said he had not let go his grip
on the Office, and did not know whether he
would or not He declared that he was
still Consul. Later. in sneaking to friend
of Mr.. Wilder. he admitted that he did
not know whether he was Consul or not.
If Mr.. Pratt does not make the transfer
to-day Mr.. Wilder Will take, possession
without further waiting. He has temper
lied because he wished Mr.. Pratt to turn
over his accounts, showing what money he
has collected and how much salary he has
received

CRUELTY WRONGED.
]. ]. Lanes Heartless Treatment Of
His Young Sister-in-Law.


,Justice OF the Peace Cook has given
Judgment for S210 for wages in the case of
Nellie Rearden against j. j. Lane. a Ninth
street grocer. The girls story was that
she was sister of Lanes dead wife.
After the latter's death her brother-in-law
wrote her in Ireland, asking her to come
bther and lake care OF his child, promising
to pay her for his services. She said that
while she was keeping house for her
brother-in-law he betrayed her. When
her child was born Lane turned them both
out of his house TO shift for themselves.
She then sued him for 5000 for her services
as housekeeper. Lane admitted the
paternity of the child. but tried to Offset
the girls claim by claim for groceries.
1t was proved that the groceries were sold
not to Miss Rearden, but to Mrs. Merrill
and moreover that the latter had paid for
them. Justice Cook was very indignant
at Lanes conduct and regretted that under
the evidence he could only give judgment
for S210.
