Enthusiasm and Interest in the Sport
Increasing as the S;ason
Wanes.

What at first glow appeared, in pros
pect, an easy victory for the 1mperials
yesterday turned out TO be a crushing de-
feat. In the first inning the leaders in
the league race sized up "Scissors" Cooney
for five hits, one double and two triples,
and piled up five runs. After that, how
ever, they were unable to bunch their
swats, with the result that the San Fran
ciscos overcame their lead and at the end
won by big margin.
The local men were first at bat and
placed four tallies to their credit on a base
on balls, Krug's base for being hit by q
pitched ball and hits by Murphy and
Sweeney. The Imperials then scorei five
on the batting streak already mentioned,
and added another in the second on
Creamer's single and Wilds' two-bagger,
but that ended their successes.
The locals, by com bination of fielding
errors and safe urive by Leonard, got
Sweeney around the circuit in the third,
and in the sixth tied the score, without
making hit. In the seventh Monahan
and Murphy safely completed the journey y
around the bags, and in the eighth Iberg
and Cooney placed two more earned runs
with the collection of the locals. The final
inning vas barren of results.
Following is the official score:

Schuetzen Park, near San Rafael, was
scene of activity yesterday. and Captain
Fred Schumann, the proprietor of the
premises, was kept busy all day attending
to the comfort of his guests. It was the
last of the picnic season, and the captain
decided that he would give the last pic

were 1900 people in the park, and the next
train swelled the number to 1900 There
was dancing in the pavilion and bowling
in the alley. and above the sounds of mer-
riment was the spiteful crack of dozens of
target-rifes on the shooting-range. At
noon the centers of attraction were the
tables in the dining hall and the lunch
baskets in the ar bors and under the oaks.
AS suggested, it was lively day in the
shooting-range, several clubs holding their
regular cash prize and medal contests.
The California Schuetzen Club held its

recovered completely from the collapse
which occurred six years ago, and business
is going forward steadily.
1--WE have been on a gold basis for
twenty years. We had and vet have sub
sidiary silver mines the same as in the
United States, but during the boom we
issued paper money so freely that at
length we couldn't meet our obligations
and it had to be passed as a forced cur
rency All our silver coin disappeared
from night TO morning. 1t was bearded
and, as for gold, which we needed in the
transaction of our foreign business, it had
to be bought.
"Our paper dollars went down so that
they were worth but 25 cents each in gold
To-day they are worth 35 cents each, and
are going up, though the govern ment
never promised TO redeem them. The paper
has been of immense advantage to US.
Labor there is performed almost solely
by Italians. They get $40 a month in the
paper money. Bat one of their paper
dollars will buy as much beef, wheat or
any other produ ucts as the gold will buy
here. There are 100 cents in each OF those
dollars so far as It's use in Argentine is
concerned. They answer the purposes of
business admirably.
"The biggest money there is now being
made out of catte-raising, wool-raisins
and the growing of wheat For these
branches OF industry there are large prof
its. Fortunes are being made out OF them
each year. A good ranch of, say, nine
squares miles, close to Buenos Ayres, will
rent for $40, 600 year.
Il would not advise any young pro-
fessionai men-as, for instance, LAWYERS
and doctors-to go to Argentine. The
country is literally full OF them. There
are big colleges there and they are turn
ing them out by thousands every year. If
a man full of health has little money he
can go there and make money in sheep,
cattle or wheat raising, but not in the pro-
LESSONS. Argentine is very similar to
California in its climate and in its re-
sources. 1t is charming country 10
