Olympics Of San Francisco Failed
to Show Up-What Is the
Matter Now?

The Olympic baseball team of San
Francisco failed to show up at Snow
flake Park yesterday afternoon, and
there would seem to be trouble ahead
Tor somebody presumably Jack NC
Glynn. who is the alleged manager OF
that aggregation Of players.
About 8 O'Clock yesterday morning
McGlynn called up Manager Kripp OF
the Gilt Edge club, and informed nun
that the man with the railroad lckets
was behind time, and that the Olymplcs
had been left at the plate.
kripp telephoned back that IL they
would take the train that arrives mere
at 2:3O o'clock everything would be all
right, but McGlynn demurred. hflpp
then offered to charter special tram
at his own expense, rather than nave
the baseball cranks of Sacramento dis
appointed, but McGlynn said his flock
had scattered, and that getting them
together was out Of the question
And go it happens that at the meet
ing of the directors of the California
Baseball League, which will be held
on Wednesday next, the probability is
that McGlynn viii be dropped from the
list of managers and a more reliable
person substituted.
The opinion prevails that the old
tournament management succeeded in
side-tracking Boss McGlynn and his
knockers in order to give the new
league a black eye.
AT precisely o'clock the Gilt Edge
team took possession Of the diamond,
with Harvey in the box, Mertes behind
the home plate, and Captain of Police
Fisher called Camel"
Harvey squared himself off and shot
three balls over the plate, and Umpire
Fisher yelled "Strike!" each time The
latter then turned to the crowd and
announced that the Gilt Edges had won
the game by default, by a score of
to O.
The fact that the Olympics failed
to appear was posted outside of the
park, but the announcement that the
Gilt Edges would divide up, and with
the assistance of the Corkers, John V.
Powers of the old Capitols and Dough-
erty of the Old Leakers, play an exEi-
bition game, drew crowd of probably
500 people.
After being drawn and quartered, the
lineup of the split up teams was as fol-
lo"S- Ni4tS-OtIlfiy. THRU DdSe, AC"

ond base; Ridley, catcher; Nethercott,
third base; Lochhead, shortstop
Dougherty, first base; Harvey, pitcher;
Rice, center field; George Newbert,
right field, and Wisemann, left field.
Bob McHale gave a great exhibition
OF the national game (as it ought to
be played), and has lost none of the
snap and ginger he put into his play in
we days of long ago.
The feature of the game was the
coaching of Buck" Hughes. who guyed
his brother Jay of the Gilts unmerci-
fully at every opening Buck was
finally caught mapping between second
and third, and when Jay got back at
him with Wooden Indianl" the shiver-
ing crowd yelled, and for the space of
a half minute the burly second base
mans choice expletives failed him.
g Some very good individual plays were
made, and at the end of the con-
troversy the score showed that the
Edges had knocked the spots off of the
Gilts by a score of 13 to 10.
The Stocktons will play the home
team next Sunday, and it is safe to saw
that the McGlynn fasco will not be re-
peated.
VICTORY FOR COLUMBIANS.
The game yesterday morning between
the Columbians and the Corkers result
ed in victory for the former by a
score of II to 10.
The game was one-sided for the first
three innings, the score up TO that time
beng to q in favor of the Corkers. The
Columbians had not been putting up
their usual game in the field, but dur
ing the balance of the game they i'm
proved IN their work and by hitting the
ball at the right time succeeded in win
ming out
