GOSSIP OF THE GAME.
Notes of Interest From California
and Eastern Diamonds.

The rumor that Finn intends to move
his team from Stockton to Sacramento has
been denied by that gentleman, but he
does not deny that San Jose has made him
a tempting offer to take the team there
Neither does he say that the offer will be
refused But San Jose would not be apt
to patronize a losing team and until the
Duke begins to move up the scale be
would probably jump out of the frying
pan into the fire if he moved the team TO
San Jose.
Two teams from the crew of the U. S. S.
Marion lately played a game of ball in
Singapore by request of some of the
prominent residents. Among the players
were Jesse Ernett and Joe Dixon, two
weIl-known Vallej, boys.
San Jose has organized fine amateur
ball team, to be called the L. E. Smiths.
The nine is composed of the foilown 2

and Sharp. Peck Sharp-sent it over
the left field fence.
Irwin got the only hit for Oakland above
the One-sack level. IL was a two-sack
swatlei, and Sharp and Ebright both got
one OF those, too.
For a distinctive feature of the game it
will be necessary TO press the last half of
the second inning into the service.
Tint inning was actually so full of tai
lies that 1t looked as il there would have
to be some sdebOards put on il to hold
them all. 1t was the robust hits that did
the business, too. There was no Texas
League playing about that inning.
san Francisco had already made one in
the last half of the first, with nary a hit.
Sharp got base on balls, second on a fiy
by Levy batted and Irwin caught, third on
Hines failure to hold Carroli's fly, and in
on Works bit that Irwin also made an
error of in throwing it to first.
Then came those seven. Oh. my, how
furiously they came!
Power got first on Hernon's error, sec
ond on Speer's single. third on a move up
made necessary by Riley'S base on balls,
and in on KnelPs single
Besides Speer and Kuelrs singles there
was a double by Sharp home run by
Work. single by Ebright and another by
Speer-the second one he lad made in the
one inning. Levy, Carroll and Riley re-
tired the side on tiyouts to Hines ana Me-
Quicken and foul to Cody.
The scoreboaTd boy had to dig way down
to the bottom OF his pile for tin seven.
1t hadn't been used for years.
After that there were two innings of
close play. Only one hit and no runs.
For five long. weary innings Oakland
had trndget along with two hits and no
runs. The thing was getting mOnotonOus.
Then they opened a bundle of three.
Homer was hit by the pitcher and worried
around on errors by Power. something
that is very rare. Irwin got base on
balls, stole second and got in on errors and
Hines single. Hines reached second on
Levy's error and after stealing third came
in when Speer th0ughtlessy threw down
to second. There was only one man ont
then, but knell Immediately struck ont

The Recreation Club held its regular

Can it be that the presence o. Uncle

enough.
Yesterday morning they broke away
from him just long enough TO go over to
Oakland ard win a very decisive victory
from the Colonel, and that is not the first
instance of the kind, either. Lately they
have won only when the boss was not at
the game. but was elsewhere.
That game across the bay was not calcu-
lated to initiate the average Oakland crank
with joy. The San Francisco talent won
it in the second inning. and all through
the remainder Of the game Tip O'Neill
and his associates came tnmblng along
after, like Jill on that down-hill slide when
Jack and Jill went after water.

SOME SHOT WELL
Rifle and Pistol Ring Out
Merrily.
To Wing the Eagle To-Day-Schuet-
zen Verein and the Pistol
Club.

Although yesterday was not as satisfac-
tory day for shooting as it might have
been, still Shellmound Park was filled
as nearly to lis capacity as comfort would
allow by the members of the San Francisco
Schuetzen Verein and their friends who
went to attend the thirty-fourtlI May festi-
val Of that club.
The club Itself, which numbers 10
shooters, was represented by 112 members,
who, headed by band, made quite a
showing.
1t was a great event in shooting circles.
There were prizes offered for the public
ring target amounting to $500, aud ON the
public bullseye target $3.50 was to be dis
tributed. Besides these the members had
special target and special prizes, ard
there was a prize offered for the first and
one for the last bullseye made. These last
two were carried off by F. o. Young and
Otto Burmeister res pectiyely.
Burmeister made bet at the commence
ment OF the shooting that he could make
more bullSeyes during The day than any
other shooter on the ground, and he did
so. landing 40 bullets in the black before
O'clock, when tie targets dropped and
the shooting was over for the first day.
The members did not hold up their past
reputation very we'll on their own target,
but a number of their names are 10 be

SPEEDY HOUNDS.
Few Hares Fleet Enough
Yesterday.
Crack Dogs of the State at Ocean
View-A Lively Match at
Ne wark.

The crack dogs Of the State were at
Ocean View yesterday and the me ct Of the
Pacific CoursinG Club was The greatest
event OF the season.
There were sixteen dogs entered in the
stake races and most of them were prize
winners. The majority of them hold rec
ords for speed. Valley Queen, magnifi-
cent bitch, has won more prizes than any
other dog in the State.
In the drawing the dogs seemed to have
been pitted against each other with due
regard to their respective speed, and in
some instan es the relative merits of the
contestants were so close that the best
judges were somewhat uncertain on which
10 bet. 1t was utterly au impossibility to
pick The winners in the majority of in
stances. In few races some Of the talent
showed very bad Judgment by betting .
and to on their fayorites and lost every
time.
AS n result, one of the best days cours-
ing ever sten at Ocean View rewarded
the lovers of hound and hare who attended.
The prizes offered by Pat Canavan, the
owner of the park, were larger than
usual. ana this was one Of the reasons
why so many fine dogs were entered. The
first prize was $50 and a S25 silver cup a.;
the second prize was S25; the third and
fourth So so each. These are the largest
prizes which have been offered this season.
G EConirary to tht usual custom, the judy
ing OF the stake races was exceptional. and
even those who lost had to acknowledge
that impartiality was the order of the day.
The judge was Mr.. lIalpin.
The first race was an earnest of what
was to follow. Slipper Cummings led forth
the great Valley Queen, ana beside the
bitch proudly slalked ID. ID. Roche's Noun
tain Hare. as speedy as MS name suggests.
When the slipper got both hounds ready,
fieet-footed hare was started from cover,
aud away went the hounds from the leash
after the long-eared flyer. At the start
neither dog appeared to have the advan-
tage, but when Valley Queen got the stiff
ness out of her legs she forged ahead and
ran down her game.

were saccumbing to the whirlwind tactics
OF Oakland when Bouring again distin-
guished himself and placed the ball in a
place of safety.
Then the Wanderers had to concede a
corner kick to Oakland, which resulted in
nothing.
Bouring continued to play a magn ifcent
game for the Wanderers, and he, Morrison
ana Erskine practically got the next goal
by themselves,
The Oaklands had brought the ball dan
gerously close to the Wanderers goal, but
had been cleverly repulsed by Goalkeeper
Gray. and the ball was then taken posses
sion of by the above trio.
Alter that magnificent run was made
by thompson from near the Wanderers
goal and he passed ii to Fyfe at the mouth
OF tne Oakland goal. when Moss cut in and
kicked the second goal for the Wanderers.
Inc third goal came very few moments
later and just before half time, being an
easy combination, and running the score
up to three goals 10 none.
AT the resumption of play the work was
last ana furious for a time, with many
narrow escapes for both sides. The Oak
landers all but kicked a goal. but the ball
struck the crossbar aud bounded back to
safety.
Oakland was then working hard and
pressed down on their opponents ground,
but Gray did clever work at the posts and
saved his territory. The Wanderers then
worked the ball back and endeayored to
score. but the back defense of Oakland
was too good.
A hot scrimmage took place at the Oak
land goal, and in defense one player re-
sorted to his hands, upon which a foul WIS
immediately claimed and a penalty kick
demanded.
The referee decided in favor OF the Wan
derers notwih standing the Oakland pro-
tests, and the Wanderers would probably
! have made their fourth goal.
But the men from over the bay felt
wronged and just at this juncture lett the
held amid the hOwIs of the sightseers

Charles J0hansen, fishing for sharks at

feet, 6 inches in length and weighed four
teen pounds. Within few minutes after
the fish had been dispatched a second
vicious tug at the line was felt, and a

hauled in. The anglers at the long bridge
have ceased to wonder why they have
such poor luck. The sharks swarm around

shorter than Johansen's was caught at
POwell-street wharf yesterday. 1t was
also OF the leopard variety and weighed
twelve pounds.
