A RECORD.
Splendid Road Run Made
by WheeImen.
Ten Miles Covered Quickly in San
Mateo County by the Cali
fornia Cycling Club.

The coast record for ten-mile road Iun
was lowered yesterday by member Of
the California Cycling Club in a race from
MlDrae to Redwood City.
There were ten entries for the race, all
of them with good roadster wheels. Then
the day was pleasant and agreeable to the
warm work of wheeling against time over
a country road. Two members of the
Olympic Club acted as judges.
Grant Bell (scratch) met with an accident
when victory seemed to be his. The sad
die of his bicycle broke. causing a brief
delay. However, he picked up courage.
continued racing and got home in 80 min
utes and 81 seconds. 1t is believed he
would have lowered the record c0uside ra-
bly, had his machine not broken down.
l. was LETT to j. Reynolds to carry off the
iaurels. Reynolds was in sple did condi-
ton and passed the mark in Redwood City
exactly so minutes and ~ seconds after he
had started from Milbrae.
The event Of the day in bicyling circles
in this city was the visit Of several wheel
men from San JoSa and their reception by
the Olympic Club bicycle annex.
AS early as II O'Clock in the morning the
San Jose Road Club was resting at the
Casino, Golden Gate Park, having come to
town on all invitation of the Olympic BIZ
cyclists. A handsome lot of young fellows
they were, and looking quite as fresh as il
they had only ridden a few blocks for an
early Spin around the park. Captain C. j.
Sullivan was leader of the club. With
him were A. Gibson. o. ZeigIer. J. Desi-
ponr, c. l.. Louthgate, L. F. Smith, IT..

The united forces fell into line and
wheeled about the park and ont to the
Olympic Club athletic grounds. Then
they went to the club. where the visitors
took swim in the tank and passed a
pleasant afternoon.
A few of the San Jose men went HON e

LAST AND BEST.
A Record Breaking Game at Haight
Street.

The California League began this sea
son with a grand hurrab. and Oakland de-
feated San Francisco. 1t brought il to an
untimely end without the aid of brass
bands and coaches. and Oakland again de-
teated San Francisco, but this time defeat
was administered for the fifth consecutive
time. IL was done in mighty quick order,
too, only forty-eight minutes being used
up in playing the nine innings. This
gives San Francisco a baseball record, for
never before has a game been paysd in so
short time. The record until Yesterday
was % minutes. and it was made in Brook
lyu about SIX years ago.
The game from beginning to end was a
great one. The boys PLAYED just as though
,hey aid not know that the league was
about TO diSband, and were loaded TO the
top with ginger. Errers were as scarce as
more numerous. II was just luck, and
nothing more, that gave the game 10 the
Athenian5. Homer and Bai,Z did the
pitching, and they made good jobs OF it,
but then they were helped out lot by the
men in the outheld, as the score plainly
indicates.
The only incident OF thrilling interest oc-
Cured when, with two men on bases,
Homer caught Mcguire mapping at second.
Carroll, who was at first. began t. scold
the long sbortstop for his carelessness, and
while shouting away was himself caught
in the same predicament.
The appended score may possess some
merit to baseball cranks, as it happens to
be The last one which the California League

THE OAKLAND NAVY.
A Race for All-The Wi,irlwind Goes
to the Bottom.

The Oakland Navy held its monthly
race.
1t was a regular canoe day. wind high
and steady, which brought the boats out
crowded with canvas. Captain Won
Schmidt showed up with the Whirlwind

seen before. She has been rerigged and
has new suit of sails. She has a bow
spirit 20 feet long, mast 80 feet high and
n sort of sliding gunter Of II feet, and on
these carries $50 square feet of canvas,
which is something wonderful when it is
taken into consideration that she is only
"a feet over all. draws feet and a beam
of feet. But Won Schmidt did not have
a chance to try this new rig, for after re
left Seasons Basin and got well out in the
creek he undertook to go about and get
into position for the start. Just as he
had the wind dead ahead on the turn
and the five men in off their
sliding seats another slant OF wind
struck her off the lee quarter. which
caused her to list over and take in guam
tity OF water. The crew righted her be-
fore she had filled. but what had been
taken in proved too much weight and she
went to the bottom in about five feet of
water. This was at high water, and she
will be- well out and in such a condition a.
dead low that 1t will be possible to float
her off.

standpoint was the contest between
Larken and Lincoln. The match lasted
four hours and was the longest aud closest
game ever played on the ground. Larken's
strength Law in his effective service and
proved invincihle ana his close net play
and back-hand strokes made up some
brilliant play.
Lincoln finally won the set by his good
Judgment and cool. steady play His
service was safe and his return deliberate
and strong. He is new player, but has
won place in the front rank by clever
Judgment. The score was liz. 6-3
4-6. St
q Robinson beat Carroll. the games stand
ing 6-1. 81, 6-3, 4-G, 6-3. This set
was also keeny contested. RObinson's
strength lies in the wel-executed cut
stroke on his returns. lie knocks the ball
into his opponents court with such a we'll
directed rut that the sphere does not re.
bound. Carroll is lame. but covers the
ground on his side of the net with marvel
orr ease and rapidly. His back line
plays are good. He has recently returned

sharp tricks which stand him i'll good
stead.

me LAST SPIRITED GAME.

The California Baseball League has
n9ssed into history.
Itexpired shortly after o'clock yester-
day afternoon. and death came to il so
ouietly that of the thousand or mure per-
sons who we're present when dissolution
occurred. not dozen were aware of what
transpTed.
The failure of the league. however was
not an unlocked for occurrence For
many days just such an event has been rx-
pected, as 1t was pretty generally known
that the dollars were not floating nto the
Golfers Of the league magnates in sufficient
numbers to make their hearts feel glad.
When this condition of affairs first
became apparent strong endeavor was
made to keep it from the general public,
those concerned thinking that perhaps
affairs would brighten I'D as the season
advanced. The secret leaked out, how
ever, last Tuesday evening in consequence
of the failure of the Sacramento team To
60 south where it was 10 play series with
the Angels. Inquiry developed that the
reason the Senators had not gone on their
trips as per schedule was that there was
no money in the southern city, and the
venture If made. could not help but prove
a losing one.
matters appear very blue, vet those at the
head Of the league were disnclined to give
up the fight for existence. and all sorts Of
schemes 10 patch up affairs So that the
season might be played out were tried.
First al attempt was made to move the
southern team up u San Jose, and a man
with money was found who seemed will
ing to take a CLUB into the Garden City.
When il came to a matter of settlement,
however, the individual backed out anu
the plan went under. Then attention was
turned toward Stockto and an effort was
made to draw that town into the circuit.
but one experiment seemed about all it
could stand in year and no encourage
ment was held out to those who desired
10 induce it TO take second dose.
Finally as last resource it was deter
mined to locate a second team in this city
and run the league just as it had been run
years ago.
Arrangements for the plan were TO be
completed to-day. but Saturday night word
was received that the Los Angeles team
had disbanded. and then all negotiations
had 10 be dropped.
Disbandment was the only thing then,
for three clubs could not hope to play the
schedule out without meeting with grca;
financial loss, as one team would be idle
all the while.
The failure CT the league will prove
surprise 10 those Interested in baseball ali
over the country, for California has always
been looked upon as a State in which the
game had taken such hold that nothing
