Judge.
Gas to DIR. Kuhlman's statement that he
wants the Grand Jury to investigate my
Office, l heartily join in the request and
hope if such an investigation takes place
DR.. Huffman will appear and tell all he
knows or thinks he knows about it. l
suggest in this connection that it would
not be amlss for the Grand Jury to inves-
tigate DR.. Kuhlman's connection with the
Sonderup case and ascertain why he en-
deavored to rush a fraudulent death certi-
icate through the Health Office.
1.-The doctor assigned the cause of death
to be progressive traumatic cerebro-splnal
ataxia and paralysis. DR.. Morse
and Mr.. Godchaux were present
when the certificate was presented
and the word traumatic is what ar
rested it. Traumatism implies an injury,
and on this account they demanded an in
vestigation before they would issue the
burial permit. The jury in the case never
completed Its sitting, because Huffman
refused to testify. 1t was M duty to find
out whether the motorman of the car was
criminally negligent; and for that reason,
and no other was the inquest ordered.

ing my official duty, and in regard to the
outcome of the suit l am not at all ner-

CITY LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP
The California Baseball League Viii
Open It's Season on
June 28th.

The new Preside Athletic Grounds were
yesterday opened to the public for the
first time In the morning there was
ball game between the Calls and Exam
iners, in which the former proved vic
torious. In the afternoon the Pacitics and
the CALIFORNIA; played the initial game of
the City League championship series.
The managers of the City League, who
are making an effort to revive public inter
est in the national game in San Francisco,
state that it is with feeling of confidence
that they enter the field. They believe
they will succeed in placing the game
where it stood some years ago, before
horse racing ousted it from the affections
of the sport-loving public. To use their
own words, "Why not2 We have the play
ers; we have the same people who loved
the game then, and we have without doa BIT
the finest grounds in the City, situated
where the climate is nearly always mild.
Why, then, shouldn't the game be enjoyed
lust the same as if it had never stopped p
The play yesterday afternoon was of the
good old-fashoned sort, in which hits and
errors were almost equally frequent, and
in which no inning was allowed to go by
without one or more runs being scored.
For all that, the audience seemed to like
1T. The grand SIanu was comfortably
filled, many of those present being ladies'
There was lar e number of the ancient
order of ''rooters' there, too, and it
sounded Just like old times to hear, "Line
it out Blockers, old boy" when prehistoric
Hanley went to the bat.
Hanley by the way, furnished the spec
tacular play of the day. 1t was IN the
sixth inning. Tie score stood to in
favor of the Pacifics. The Pacifics were IN
the field, and in some way McCarty, their
pitcher, got ratified. He gave three men
th cir bases on balls in rapid succession.
HanIev was standing in the coacher's
box. wildly imploring Shea, who was at
the bat. to "knock It over the fence" In
stead. Shea batted high foul. Up, up
went the ball and several of the Pacifics
rushed to get beneath it. "Blockers'' was
in their path, but be stood like a statue so
as not to interfere with their movements.
The ball descended and seemed sure to
fall into the hands of the enemy. Hanley
looked neither to the right nor left and
the sphere dropped plump on the top of
his head tBlockers" eyes bulged out
and his neck sunk deep into his shoulders,
but quickly recognizing that he had saved
his side, the veteran laughed loudly while
the people in the stand applauded Then
Shea came to the rescue and realized Han
-ley's am bition. The next ball that was
pitched he "put over de fence for
homer.
The CALIFORNIA; made five runs in that
inning, making the score 8 to g. but that
was as near as they came to winning.
From that time on the Pacifcs batted

Two inter-club cricket matches were

At Golden Gate the heretofore conquer

to bat were somewhat easily disposed OF

FOR THE STATE LEAGUE.
Arrangements Almost Completed
at Sixteenth and Folsom
Streets,

The managers of the California Baseball
League are rapidly completing arrange
ments at the new grounds, corner Of Fol-
som and Sixteenth streets, and everything
will be in readiness for the opening on the
18th inst.
Yesterday afternoon a short game was
played to determine the permanent loca-
ton of the diamond and other features of
the field. The Oakland and San Francisco
teams participated, the latter winning.
The Oakland team, however, is an excep-
tionally strong ombination. Pete Sweeney
looks after the home teams interest and
promises to also put good club in the
field.
The services of Jack Donahue have been
secured to officiate as umpire and in all
probability Joe Stapleton, who was for
many years official scorer at the Haight-
street grounds, will again assume that re-
sponsibility.
Manager Blake says: ~ can see no rea-
son why this will not be profitable en-
terprise. You can see that baseball still
has hold in this City by the attendance
here to-day. We intend to give the people
good clean baseball and will spare neither
time nor expense to secure the services of
the best ball-players in the State.

Defeat Amateur Champion DON

tested games seen on the coast was played
n the San Francisco Handball Court yes
terday between John Riordan, the coast
champion, and J. G. Nealon and P. T.
Donnelly, the amateur champion, and T.
f. Bonnet Riordan and Nealon had de-
feated Donnelly and Bonnet the previous
Sunday, and the two latter determined, il
possible, to get even.
Bonnet and Donnelly won the first and
third games Riordan and Nealon the Sec
ond and fourth. The final was scorcher.
Riordan and Nealon had the advantage OF
the start. and Notwithstanding the bril-
liant PLAY of their opponents they main.
tanned the lead to the end, the game clos.
ing q to II.
Another exciting game was played be-
tween j. Harlow, the ex-coast champion,
and ]. Kearney and P. Kelly. 1t was
thought that Harlow would prove an easy
victim to two such clever amateurs, but he
defeated them by three games to one.

was game between Thomas Barry, who
