TIE GAME IN BROOKLYN.
Rained at the start and Grew I
Dark to Finish.

Rained at the Start and Grew Too
Dark to Finish.
1t was too bad that Washington did not
win yesterday, for the ball was hit hard
and often enough to have given a victory
to the Statesmen, who played an all but
perfect game in the field. McJames was
In fine form, and kept the Groons down to
hve hits. He had hard luck, however, with
the ball early in the game, when 1t was
wet and difficult of control, and sent men
to bases In the second in such numbers
that run was Tailed, but for which
Washington would have won. Then, in the
seventh inning. Brooklyn began to hit safe
ly, and by small bunch Of singles then
and in the eighth scored three runs and
tied the score. But for very lucky catch
by Anderson of long fly from MCGUIRE 8
bat in the ninth Joyce would have tailed
the winning run and perhaps Mcclure
would have made homer.
The game was preceded by a fierce thun-
der storm. which made 50 much noise ,hat
the ladies in the grand stand were seri-
ously frightened. One or two of them faint
end. and great confusion prevailed. The
game was considerably delayed on this ac-
count. else the tie could have been played
off. Sawdust had to be used in liberal
quantities before the game could progress
and the field was so slippery that the good
work was remarkable.
in the second inning The leather was
wet and slippery and McJames had great
difficulty with 1t. Abbey, Brooklyns
twirle-, hit one to the pitcher. with the
bases full. and the. best McJames could do
was to throw out the runner at first while
Corcoran scored.
In the third the Statesmen hit the ball
hard enough to have scored two or three
runs. but one was the sole result Nc.
James lined out two-bagger to center
went along on O'Brien's sacrifice, and scored
on Selbachs single to left. DeMontreville
struck the left field fence with his rap, and
Selbach was held at third by good throw
while Monty reached second. There were
two out and another hit meant two runs
but Joyce put UP a foul fly that Shindle
captured.
CURE singled to right and Brown beat out
a little hit to the pitcher. Cartwright sac
rif1ced and advanced the men. Lush went
down on balls and the bases were filed.
McJames was anxious to line out the ball
again, but Joyce passed him the word to
bunt and sacrifice. thing that Is not in
jim mys repertoire. He made three foul
bunts and was counted out Then OBrien
singled, scoring MCGUIRE. and Selbach
waited for FOUR bad ones and Brown was
forced in.
Wasnington's fourth and last run was
scored in the sixth. when Lush hit to
right center for two bases, went to third
on McJames' sacrifice to Corcoran, and
scored on Selbach's single. In the seventh
Joyce worked his way around to third
on q base on balls. Browns hit and Cart
wr.ght's fly-out. Brown stole second and
Joyce tried to score on the throw, but was
caught.
In the ninth Joyce reached first and then
Mcclure hit long. hard fly into left An
derson ran back like deer. and just at
the lucky moment turned and lifted his
miteed hand. By the merest margin the
ball landed in it, and after a bit of Jug

But he did not drop 1t.

men scored on Grim's hit to left. The ty-

the runs tailed by Brooklyn were start

meet the regatta committee and go over the
plans for the event. so that he may be in
perfect harmony with the local managers
of the affair.
The final details Of the regatta will be ar
ranged tonight at the last meeting of the
regatta committee at the Potomac boat
house. At this meeting the crews entered
in the races will draw for positions, and
the report of the weighing committee will
be received. Final instructions will be
given to the officers of the course, and
everything possible will be attended to in
advance.
1t is expected that the course will be laid
off early tomorrow morning. The meas
urements have practically been made and
all that remains now to be done is to set
the buoys carrying the marking flags and 10
anchor the stake boats. This work will be
done under the supervisoniof Captain John
Nolan of the Potomac Club, who is chair
man of the committee on course.

is some lively training being done today in
preparation for the assault on the scales
lnasmuch as there are but two crews en-
tered for the race, the Potomacs and Co.
lumbias, there Is a great rivalry. so that in
all probability the committee will not be
disposed to be lenient with the oarsmen in
the matter of weight.
The drawings for positions is often very
important matter when there are bends in
the course and the river is filled with OBJ
stacles. but this course is straight and the
obstacles are all evenly distributed, in the
form of the piers of the AQueduct bridge
There Is not much choice in this respect
and as the positions are drawn this evening
there can be little choice as to the best
places on account Of the wind as 1t cannot
be foretold so far in advance from what
direction the breeze will come.

The regular monthly meeting of the
board of directors of the Board of Trade
was held in the exposition building this
afternoon.
Some routine business was transacted,
and then the following resolution was
read:
The undersigned members of the board.of
directors of the Oakland Board of Trade call
attention to the following facts to wit:
is known as the Oakland Times and Evening
Item, appears upon the roll OF membership OF
the aforesaid Oakland Board of Trade.
That the said Gavin Dhu High has been con-
victed by jury of the crime of libel, and duly
That the victim of Highs crime is William
j. Dingee, one OF Oakland's best and most pro-
gressiye citizens, who is now being personally
Villified in the said publications, and who
does not deserve the untrue and vicious at
tacks, and we believe that the time has ar
rived to place the stamp of our disapproval
upon the said Highs conduct, and we ask that
meeting Of the directors II Of the Board OF
alton the said Gavin Dhu High.
A. n. Breed said he did not believe in
such attacks upon Oakland interests, but
so far as the personal matter between High
and Dincee was concerned he was not in
favor of taking any action. He was will
ing to be one of committee to ask High
to desist from publishing anything detri-
mental to the interests of Oakland.
Mr. Keller said he did not care to enter
into personal matter between High and
Dingee, but he was willing to stand up for
Oakland against ali comers.
On motion of A. d. Pryal committee
of three was appointed to see Mr.. High
and request him, as member of the
board, to desist from attacks upon Oak
land interests. The committee consists
of President James P. Taylor, A. D. Pryal
a nd A. H. Breed. The committee will ap-
peal TO the Merchants Exchan.e to unite
with them to stop Mr.. Highs methods.
A letter from Congressman Grove l..
Johnson was read, in which he promised
his support to any measure presented by
Congressman Hilborn looking to the i'm
proyement of the Oakland harbor.

PRISON GATE HOME FARM
The Salvation Army Likely to
Receive a Donation of
Land.

The Salvation Army is in fair way to
receive donation which will aid it ma
terially in its rescue work. A wealthy
friend of the army holds a mortgage upon
800 acres of farm land under high cu1tiva-
ton and pro vided with a number of dwell
ing-houses, barns and outbuildings. The
property is located near Lafayette. in the
San Ramon Valley. above Martinez. The
mortgage will run out on the 1st of eOcto-
Der, and If the land is not redeemed by
that date foreclosure will be taken and
the property donated to the army for
prison-gate home.
Adiutant McFee, who has charge of the
prison work of the army, is jubilant at the
prospect of getting u place in which to
receive discharged prisoners and prepare
them for re-entry into the world of work
ingmen. at the same time ne is not
counting his chickens before they are
Matched.

he said last night" until / know for GER
tain that the farm is going to come into
our possession. Once IL is ours. we shall
get to work without delay and l hope
make the institution self-supporting.
"We have several capable farmers in our
ranks, notably one man from Kentucky,
and theoretical knowledge on the subject.
These men will have the place in charge,
and if they do not make a success of it
nobody can. But we must get the place
before we can make plans for it's manage
ment. The coming 1st OF October will
settle the business one way or the other,
hope and trust. in our favor"

Immediately after the girls were taken

that she is of age, the peculiar fashion She
uses in arranging her hair in coil over
her right ear, the Chinese emblem of
youth, disproves this statement
Both Tsoi Yee and Yuit Heung are be-
coming accustomed to their new home. At
first they cried good deal, but they soon
became contented. Chinese girls have
been taught for years by their owners that
they would be tortured if captured.
They expect to be poisoned or beaten
and otherwise abused, consequently it is
not to be wondered at when they cry and
fight on their arrival at the mission.
The young girls appeared to be satisfied
with their surroundings, and ate the food
placed before them last evening. During
the day they refused to eat, but as they
were treated with the utmost kindness
and were not beaten or abused as they ex-
pected to be, their fears departed by de-
grees, and they accepted the food offered
them.
Tsoi Yee is said to be valued at $4,000
