BEHIND WICKETS.
PaCifiCs Fail With Nine
BOWERS.
Robertson and Webster Show Their
Strength and SIoman Plays a.
Grand Inning.

There was a surprise in store for crick-
eters at Golden Gate yesterday-a joyful
one, too-for all lovers of the game.
Among the first arrivals on the field was
w. Greer Harrison, president of the asso-
citation.
Mr.. Harrison has been lover of cricket
all his life, and some years ago he was an
enthusiastic performer with the willow,
but of late he has attended to other mat
tiers, and his visits have been few and far
between. But he means to do all he can
in the future to help cricketers on the
coast, and every important match of the
season will have his patronage In person.
Besides being president of the California
Cricket Association Mr. Harrison is also
president of the Pacific Club. and he came
over yesterday to see his boys tackle the
newly constituted San Francisco Club.
And the fact Of the Pacifics being igno-
miniously beaten did not detract from
anyaone's enjoyment Of the days fun. The
weather was glorious, and when the
luncheon bell rang all were of accord, and
hungry, too. Lunch con was spread in
Tony Cakes resort, and that somewhat
eccentric caterer had done his level
pest" Harrison's health was proposed,
Of course, by Billy Robertson, and drunk
with three times three, and Mr.. Harrisnn's
reply was brief but happy. He said,
Gentlemen, have returned to my old
love, and | mean to stay there. Waiter.
kindly fetch another relay of bottled
beer"
OF the game not much can be said, as it
was, as usual, one sided. The Pacifcs
went in first and had the unqualified de.
light of facing the redoubtable Robertson.
Billy was in his best form, and several
men who thought they had about sized
him up, retired with considerable dscom-
ntGre and much useless crashing of teeth
He took six wlcke's for 10 runs, and the
whole side was dismissed for 60. Theobald
played careful cricket and just ran into
double figures. and McAuley showed same
style, but there was nothing brilliant
about the inning.
Then came the San Francscos The
Pacific Club never before knew how many
oowlers it possessed, no less than nine
of them being tried before a wicket fell.
Finally Robertson, a trifle over-contident,
was caught. One wicket for 81, 81 more
than the other side, of which the retiring
batsmap had made 56 and "St0newall''
Webster 80.
This was not all. The side stayed in for
the rest OF the day and the famous wicket
keeper did not retire till he had made li9,
when he iell TO a grand catch at mld-on by
George Adams. Webster has something
OF an average so far. He has now played

The Olympic Club will hold a field Law
at It's grounds adjacent to Golden Gate
Park on the afternoon of the 18th inst.
The athletic committee has arranged the
following programme of events, viz. 100
yards, 44O yards, $50 yards. l mile, 100
yards (maiden race. 220 yards (for Junior
Olympcs), 50-yard potato race, pole vault,
running broad jump and throwing 16-
pound hammer.
With the exception of the maiden race
and potato race all the other events will
be handicaps. Entries will close at the
OF the 18th inst.
In reference to the hazardous attempts
that have been made by athletes and imi-
ia tors to excel in breaking, the
Sporting World of New York says:
Some persons seem TO take especial pride
in pleasing the public by sensational
feats, in which the performer is al an mi-
nent risk of killing himself. What does
he do 1t for? Has it come TO pass at this
enlightened age If civilization that a man
has got TO learn new method OF how to

Of the club: j. Strieb, B. Street, W.

LANCE is doing some great stickwOrk for
the Chicago team, and SAMMY" DUNCAN
is not falling down any at the bat, either.
California has no cause to blush for the
players sent East thus far.
The Emeralds defeated the Prossers of
Alameda at Laundry Farm yesterday.
The score was 16 to 8. a feature of the
game was the battery work of johnson
and Peters.
To-day there will be meeting of the
directors of the California Baseball League
and some lively times are anticipated. A
complete reorganization of the league is
not impossible and is even probable.
John j. None will probably retire from
the presidency of the California League
to-day and q new man win take his place.
Messrs. Lindley, Moore and Geischen
will probably stand together from this
time on, and form triumvirate that will
manage league baseball in California for
some time TO come. Meantime, Harris
will be saving wood and Colonel Robin
son and Duke Finn will keep an eye on
things in general.
The temperance of Midget Danny
Sweeney in these parts was a general sur
prise. Danny may still be in the game if
things happen that are said to be apt to
happen.
