The San Francisco call., 1896-05-15

suing year took place yesterday at an ex-
citing session OF the Grand Council of Cali
tornian Odd Fellows. On the first ballot
the vote stood as follows:
Karl C. Brueck, Stockton, 3o7; W. A
Bonynge, Los Angeles, 102; John E. Raker,
Alturas, 81; T. E. Whitney, Oakland, so; J. L..
Robinette, Sacramento 43; S. F. Smith, San
Diego, %; y. Q. HerZogs Yreka, 8.
Brueck's popularity may be judged from
the fact that, though he was the youngest
OF the contestants and has been mem Der
of the order only nine years-much less
than the others, some of whom are veter-
ans-his large vote was polled on the first
ballot. At the forty-third annual session
OF the Grand body he was second on the
list after the polling of the votes. AS was
mentioned in THE CALL yesterday, this
would place him foremost in the line for
this year.
The other candidates were elected by ac-
clamation. J. W. Warboys and a. NJ. Drew,
in accordance with the rule established by
precedent, being elected to fill the offices
OF grand and deputy grand master respect

The Offices OF grand secretary and treas
urer are commonly filed by the same men
year after year, except in case OF death or
resignation. Therefore George F. Shaw
will fill the former and Moses Greenbaum
the latter pOSlIlOu lOE lllc ueAI NcdIs
For the offices of grand trustee there
were four candidates, three of whom were
TO be elected. The general custom has
been to retain the members of the old
board as long as they wish to hold office.
The old board, c. o. Burton, G. w. Moul-
throp and John Glasson, were candidates
IN this instance, with the addition OF John
Fish of Oakland.
The old board was retained, but Fish re-
ceived handsome complimentary vote OF
I26.
S. B. Smith of Sacramento was reap
pointed trustee of the Odd Fellows Home
at Thermalito.
The whole afternoon session was taken
up with the consideration of resolutions,
committee work and amendments to the
constitution. Several amendments in re-
gard to the conduct of the Odd Fellows
Home were laid over until tomorrow.
The most important amendment in this
respect is one contemp plating $4,000 per-
manent membership. If such be adopted
any one can place an ind1gent member in
the home and IN case he dies replace him
with another without extra cost.

The Jame was Long Drawn Ont ana
Rather ListIess Contest-Montgomery
Gave the Patterson Club Two Runs On an
Error and misJudged Play.
Paterson won yesterdays game from
Wilmington IN the eighth inning after
the latter club had two chances Of
winning out, There were as usual,
several reasons for Wilmington losing
but the two men who are most to blame
for It are Montgomery and Umpire
Hoagland
HoEglRnd's good work for Paterson
took place In the seventh inning. Gala
CHER had gone to FIRST on a hit and ras
advanced TO second by a base on balls to
Costello. McIntJre came to bat and
knocked long two bAgger, bringing
both men in. Mcintyre run to third ou
the ball being thrown there. One Of the
Paterson players called TO Hoagland,
"Thst man didn't touch second" F" mean
ing Mcintyre. HoaelRnd Jumped to the
conclusion that Cost clio was the man
meant, though he did not see the play
On the ball being thrown 10 second and
the bAse touched. he called Costello out
for not touching the base The decision
WAS one OF the worst OF the many rank
ones to which Wilmington has had to
submit this season, bat there was no
help for It..
Montgomery rendered bis assistance
TO Paterson toward winning the game
In ths 6rst inning. Fortunately It did
not amount TO much. On a high fy
ball which Gallagher could have easily
taken, Montgomery yelled. pve got IL "
But he didn't have It, Instead he ran
thirty feet In front OF whore the ball
dropped. AID the batter got two bases
on it.
His Gble assistance was again given to
the visitors Ia the fourth inning, and
this time he was more successful, giving
sAssa swo runs. dropping ball which he
had IN bis hands, though caught after q
hard run. Elton, who was the batter,
made two bases on IL and brought two
men homo
Smith pitched a good game for PGt II
