BASE HITS AND ERRORS,
characteristics of the Ball Game
at the Folsom.Street
Grounds.

The San Francisco ballplayers had on
their batting clothes yesterday, and the
way they jumped on the delivery OF
Pitcher Shea of the Oaklands must have
made that young man sick at heart. They
sized him up for twenty-five safe hits,
with total of thirty-one bases. Sweeney,
Levy and Scott each place a three Dagger
to mis- credit, and Sweeney, in addition,
secured two doubles and single out of
five times at bat. Walters, also, secured a
two-bagger.
Aside from the heavy hitting of the
locals, the feature of the game was the
poor work of the Oaklands. But two of
the entire team played without an error.
Keating at second had seven chances, and
secured five putoEts and two assists.
Dalmas at first scored five putouts, and
then retired to right field because of an
injury to his hand.
Arlett seemed to be particularly unfor-
tunate yesterday. He unIoosed his errors
lust at the time the San Franciscos got a
batting streak. On one occasion, after
two were out, he made a bad throw after
an easy chance and six runs afterward
came in.
The game merits little description. The
Friscos scored two in the initial inning
and the visitors at once went them one
better. In the third inning the locals
scored three and from then until the end
of the game the Oaklands were simply
not in it.

think it was fear of police interference with
this business that induced Franklin to let me
go. He had trouble with his mail on account
of the lottery business during the time ]
worked for him.
1 consider that l have been very grossly
maligned ard badly treated, and am to-day
practically banished from San Francisco on
account of unwarranted persecution by the
police.
Since his disappearance from this City
the whereabouts of Miller have been
known to very few people. Captain Lees
followed his movements to San Jose,
where the fellow made capital out of his
notoriety, and then he dropped out OF
sight until arrested the other day in Santa
Barbara for abducting Hattie Auber, a
14-year-old girl, from Los Angeles.
1t turns out now that Miller between
the date of his disappearance from San
Jose and his capture in Santa Barbara
was WORKING as cook in cheap restau-
rant of Los Angeles where he met Miss
Auber.
In speaking of Miller last evening Cap
tain Lees declared:
"I am not astonished in the least that
this fellow has again been arrested. He is
man with bad record, and / don't ex-
pect anything good to come from him.
He is by far worse man than is Win
throp.
'As to his accusations that the police
have been prosecuting him they are en-
tirely false. l never saw or consulted
Franklin about him and in no way did ]
influence Franklin to discharge him.
Franklin upheld the fellow like any man
would who believed him TO be innocent
until he learned for himself he was de-
Tending a bad man. Then discharge fol-

THE HANDBALL COURTS.
A Number of Interesting and Closely
Contested Games Played
Yesterday,

The handball courts were, as usual, well
patronized yesterday and several exciting
and interesting games were witnessed.
At the San Francisco court the chief at
traction was a game in which John Rior-
dan, the coast champion, and P. Hutchin-
son played against ]. G. Nealon and G.
Hutchinson. Nealon had been out of
training for some weeks, but he played a
great game. He and his partner were de-
feated in the final by only one ace. The
competition among the boys for the gold
and silver medal presented by Phil Ryan,
the proprietor of the court, had to be post
poned till next Sunday.
At the Union Court Terry McManus
and ]. j. Feeney played great game
against James Nelson and I. Lavelle, but
were defeated in the final by three aces,
after a hard struggle. Much dIsappoint-
the final rub between Joe McAuliffe, the
Mission boy, and Terry McManus did not
come off. Terry was ready and willing,
but Joe failed to put in an appearance and
it was given cut that he had "funked."
Terry says that Joe may be great tighter,
but as hand ball-player he is not in his
class, and he is still prepared to uphold
the title of heavyweight champion against
all corners.
Some interesting games were PLAYED in
the Mission Athletic Club Court among
the members.
Following were the games played in the
courts yesterday:

Father Wayrich.

| Twenty-Five young ladies were received
into the Sodaity of the Immacu-
late Conception yesterday in st. Mary's
| Cathedral.
The services began at 8 PM The blue
| scapular was conferred upon the new
| corners by the Rev. Father Prender-
CAST, V. G. Appropriate music was sup
| piled by the choir. Father E. P. Dempsey,
| in a brief address, exhorted the young
ladies to initiate as closely as possible the
holy character of the Blessed Virgin and
| to practice in their daily lives the virtues
of purity, obedience, charity and humility.
The benediction was pronounced by
Father J. F. Byrne.

At st. Mary's Church yesterday morn
Father F. w. Wayrch of New York
preached an instructive sermon from the
text: Blessed are the eyes which see
the things that you see."
''God is to be seen," he said, "in the
to the patriarchs.
sour eyes are blessed when we can see
clearly the fruits of Christianity. The Sa-
maritan in the parable is an exempli6ca-
tion of true Christian charity, which re-
CARDS all men as the children of God.
! Charitab BILE institutions were unknown to
| the pagan Romans before the coming of
Christianity. 1t remained for Christianity
to hold forth to the world those heroic
examples, seen in the church of God,
where so many noble men and women
cheerfully give their lives to the care of
| Gods poor.
'In these charitable institutions there
| are no elements of self-interest, no dis
tinctions of race, condition or creed. They
are truly catholic. These latter days have
witnessed violent assaults upon these holy
| institutions, but in the life of Gods
church persecution is not new. He who
promised that the gates Of hell should not
prevail against his church will not permit.
the hosts of evil to triumph now, but will
one day open the eyes of those blinded to
the worth of the church and its noble
| charities.
'Then will be blessed other eyes, for
they will see the things which you see,
but are not yet discernible to them.'
In the evening the Rev. Father f. B.
Doherty preached upon the Assumption
Of the Blessed Virgin" from the text,
Hail full OF grace, the Lord is with thee.

EXTRAORDINARY SKILL.
That Is the Kind Required in
Certain Cases.
The Afflicted of San Francisco and
Vicinity Now Have 1t at Their
Command.

It is often said that San Francisco is
overrun with doctors. That may be true.
1t is true. Then why are so many people
sick Why do they continuously take
medicines, and yet never get well
Because they secure only ordinary skill,
and ordinary skill will not cure them.
Chronic, obstinate, deep-seated diseases
require extraordinary methods. They re-
quire expert knowledge, born of great
volumes of experience and practice. They
require the deepest, clearest possible in
sight into the mysteries of human func-
tions. shrouded as they often are in dark
ness, where the ordinary medical eye sees
little and guesses at facts.
Doctor Cook, the greatest of modern
specialists, has the skill, the experience
and the knowledge required for the sue
