and Tenth streets.
Got pistol?" gasped Wolff.

little strength IN MY arms"

pair went IN pursuit of the robber The

and the actor were recovering the stolen
goods six of the robbers confederates
sprang on the two men.

Football CLUB" of Oakland, assisted by the
Pacific Wanderers of this city, and a team
composed of the best football kIckers
chosen from the apprentices CT the British
vessels now in port.
The sailors were certainly a fine lot of
young and active fellows, who, with little
practice, could give a good account of
themselves against the best representative
team of the Pacific Football Association.
The game was very interesting through
out, and afforded good afternoons ath-
letic entertainment for the many people
who were present. In the first half the
Oakland club scored four goals TO one goal
however. in the second half, as the sailors
had run off their sea legs" and accom-
plished some good running and brilliant
plays The Saturday Night kickers were
treated to a great surprise, as they eX-
pected to win the game with many points
to spare. Iu this they were disappointed,
because the invaders played better bali,
and when the whistle sounded the finish
of the days sport the sailors had tied their
opponents ana left the grounds rejoicing.
The following is the makeup of the teams
