BASEBALL

Yesterdays games at Athletic park
were both won by the Admirals. There
was much better attendance than here
tofore, which is an evidence that de-
spite the seashore and the different
other attractions at the parks good base
ball will still draw the crowd. The first
game was between the Trilbys and Ad-
mirals. Umpire Monroe called game
promptly at 1:45, with the Admirals at
the bat. They scored two runs before
the side was retired, and scored seven in
the third, four in the fifth and two in the
eighth innings. The Trilbys were un-
able to score until the fifth inning, when
they scored one run, and another in the
NINTH which was the extent of their
run-getting. The Admirals won this
game by their hard hitting and the
utter inability of the Trilbys to hit
Thomas safe when hits were needed.
The score was as follows:
AdmlSyais... Af1l1lysi; 3 9 : 9 3 9 9 l-lS
The second game was the game of the
day. The Francis Wilson's took the
field to try conclusions with the Ad-
mirals. and the disgusted Trilbys took
balance of the day pulling for the Will
sons, but despite their hard work and
advice the Admirals again won by a
score of to 6. The Admirals won this
game with four hits, assisted by the
loose fielding of the Wilson's, who were
credited with ten errors, The Wilson
team had ten hits with a total Of four
teen, but We're only able to score six
times, as their hits were scattered and
Franck and Kings sharp infield work
held their score down. Jack Moore
pitched an elegant game, and had he
been properly supported the score would
have been different. Both catchers
caught an elegant game. Swans base
running and the batting of Carmona,
Collins and Hanlon are deserving of
mention. The tabulated score will show
to whom credit Is due

THE BOY AND THE BARREL
The Testimony Does Not Con
vince the Court of Watts
Guilt.
There Seems to Be a Mistake in
Identity-The Peddler's Alibi
Sustained.

After hearing lot more evidence of a
confusing and unsatisfactory character in
the case of George Walker and the barrel
in which he was said to have been placed,
Judge Joachimsen on Friday allowed the
defendant, Billy Watt, to go on his own
recognizance.
The Judge said there was positively no
evidence upon which Watt could be held.
He himself stated that he had been away
on his wagon. peddling all day. William
Ford, his companion, corroborated this in
a measure on the stand yesterday. Mrs.
Watt testified that the barrel was in sight
from her kitchen-door all day, and there
was no sign of any such trouble as ex-
planned of about it.
Mrs. Elisabeth Gilmore, q next-door
neighbor to the Walkers, testified that she
saw the boy Immediately after he was sup
posed to have come out Of the barrel.
There were no signs of blood about him
and they were charging quite another
party with having put him in the barrel.
Judge Joachimsen said he was reason
ably certain the boy had been put in the
barrel, but did not believe Watt did it.
Mr.. Walker said there were number OF
witnesses who saw Watt about the place
in the middle of the afternoon, at the
time he himself claimed to be away on his
wagon, but they refused to testify as they
did not wish to take part in the neighbor-
hood row. The court said he must sub
pena the witnesses and make a case or he
would discharge the defendant. The case
was carried over to next Wednesday.

Committees Busy With Preparations

Favorable reports from the executive
committees of the Carnival of the Golden

quarters. While engaged in this work
the different members are ascertaining the

the date when the carnival should be held.
In this way they expect to be able to
arrange matters so as to please all inter
ested.
Carnival Director Friedlander is hard at
work upon his plans of decoration for the
downtown streets, commencing at the
ferry and running north and south from
Market street. The main business streets,
such as Montgomery, Kearny, Grant
avenue, Stockton, Third, Fourth, and
streets similar in character. will be very
beautifully illuminated If Mr.. Fried
lander's plans are adopted.
Two important awards will probably be
made by the executive committee Monday
afternoon. Bids for the official programme
will be received by committee at head
quarters at clock that afternoon, and
designs for the posters, for which a prize
of $25 has been offered, will also be re

CRocKER BANK IS IN CHARGE.
Local Wholesale Grocers Principal
Creditors and Are Inclined to
Leniency.

A. Quade & Co., the wholesale grocers
at 6S6 Market street, have assigned for the
benefit of their creditors.
Their liabilities amount to $4,000, and
number of wholesale grocery firms in this
City are the principal creditors. The
assets, it is said, are much in excess OF the
liabilities.
The assignment was made very quietly
on Friday morning to the Crocker-Wool
worth Bank. An agent of the bank was
in the store all day Friday and yesterday,
but the doors were kept open and business
went on without apparent change.
The Board of Trade will meet at 10:30
o'clock tomorrow forenoon to take action.
An extension of time will be asked for and
will probably be granted to the unhappy
firm.
