REVIVAL OF BASEBALL ONCE MORE.
Sacramento to Have a Club in the
League.
The Local Team TO Play in San Fran
cisco Next Sunday-Who the
Players Are.

There are a large number of good base
ball players now in this State out OF
jobs, and movement is on foot to form
new league, embracing four clubs. one
of which is to represent the Capital City.
Referring to the matter, a San Francisco
paper says:
"a new four-club baseball league has
virtually been formed All the condi-
tions have been agreed upon by the vari-
Gus managers, who will meet soon to ar
range schedule. The clubs TO form the
league will be the San Franchises and
CALIFORNIA; of this city, and the Sacra-
mentos and the Stocktons. The man
ayers of the local teams have been in cor
respondence with the baseball people in
the interior for some time.
Both OF the interior cities named have
large number of baseball enthusiasts,
but the game was killed in each place by
the treatment the clubs received at the
hands OF the officers of the old league.
| manager Gilbert of the Haight-street
! grounds Is a former Sacramentan. and
be assured the Capital City players
they would not have renewal of the
difficulties of the past. Upon this assur-
| ance E. e. Nethercott has formed club of
Sacramento players, and Mike De-
/ Pangher, the noted shortstop and catcher,
has got together club in Stockton.
This four-team league will run the re-
mainder of the season, and it is the inten-
4 tion TO open up next year with a siX-club
/ league. Oakland and San Jose will be
! the two new teams. The business men of
San Jose have always been anxious to
raise fund 10 have their city repre-
sented, and tried to enter a team in a
! league some months ago.
while awaiting the completion of the
arrangements OF this four-club b league the
| tour teams will have few preliminary
/ games of ball. Next Sunday the Sacra-
mento club will come to this city and
will play the CALIFORNIA; at Haight-street
/ Park. The San Franciscos will go to
! Stockton next Sunday to play the club OF
that city. Beside DePangher there will
/ be Chase. Selma, Creaner and other old
time favorites in the Stock ton team.
The Sacramento team will comprise
! the following players: Jim Hughes.

HE THREW UP THE CONTRACT
It Paid Better TO Quit Work Than to
Continue.

1t Paid Better TO Quit Work Than to
Continue.
An incident happened yesterday on J
street, between Sixth and Seventh, that
recalls the old story of Stephen Girard's
employment of man to wheel stones to
a given point and back again.
An impecunious individual applied at
a saloon in the block, about noon. for
work, saying he was willing to do any
| thing. A party there gave him a brick
and told him that if he would carry it
across the street and lay it down at a
given point and then pick it up and bring
1t back. continuing TO do SO till 2. NJ,
he would give him dollar.
The man agreed and started in on his
job. In very short time about 200 peo-
pie stopped TO see the performance and
wonder why it was done. The man kept
steadily at his work, and a police officer
who came along started to arrest him,
| thinking he was crazy, but desisted on
learning the true state of affairs.
Finally person who owns an estab-
lishment on the other side OF the street
gave the contractor 81 90 to quit work and
go away. Z took the money and showed
it TO the person who had hired him, and
resigned his JOB. The brick. wrapped in
tinfoil, now adorns the bar of the saloon.

Various Plans.
Postmaster General and Mrs. Bissell are
also looking forward to a quiet time of 1t
around Christmas, with their own house
hold, of which their little daughter, Mar
garet, Is the bright particular star. Mar
garet was to have had a glorious Christ
mas tree celebration last year, but 1t was
prevented by her illness, which occasioned
her parents some days of great alarm at
that time. This year she is all the better
able to enjoy the coming of Santa Claus,
big tree and it's surroundings Of gifts and
toys, which will be provided in great plenty
for her. The Postmaster General is spend
Ing this week up in Buffalo, where he
thought the vigorous climate would all the
more quickly strengthen him after his late
illness. Only for his visit there at this
time. he and his family would have gone
north for the holidays, which they now
expect to spend in this city.
The Secretary of the Navy hasn't
home circle sufficiently large to make
Christmas typical one. with children
about him, and the only drawback to the
joyful celebration of Christmas at the
home OF the Secretary of the Interior is
that Mrs. Smith is not in her usually Wig
orous health. Miss Jackson, who will spend
the winter here with the family, and Mrs
Smiths mother are very pleasant additions
TO the household, and, with the usual hos
pftable way, their Christmas dinner is very
apt to be enlarged by the presence of sew
eral other friends. The Secretary Of State
and Mrs. Gresham, II in town for Christ
mas, will in all probability accept some of
their invitations to dine out, and the Sec
rotary OF Agriculture and Miss Morton are
likely to have a family gathering, made
up OF the Secretary's sons and their fam
lilies, 1t being their custom to spend the
day together
Attorney General and Mrs Oiney are
looking forward to the enjoyment of a.
real New England Christmas, of which a
heavy snow fall would be the proper out
ward condition. They have their daugh-
ter and her young son with them for the
winter, and the Inequalities which they
are always so glad to extend will COM
