SANTA Cruz
HAD A FALL
Pitcher Daubenbis' Arm
Gave Out in the Ninth
Inning.
Reliance Batters From That
Moment Had Things All
Their Own Way.
Remarkable Field Work by Santa Cruz
Kept the Score Within Reason
able Bounds.

It was a fairly smooth game UP to the
last inning. Then the arm of Pitcher
Daubeubis suddenly got the Klondike
fever and deserted the field, leaving
Pitcher Daubenbis and his eight confreres
at the mercy of those nine heartless
athlete from across the bay. The result
was a succession of base hits that sound ed
like a Fourth of July cele bration in
Randsburg, and when the smoke had
cleared away the scoreboard in center
field was seen to record large white
figure 7 for Reliance and rather yellow
underdone figure for the scientists from
Santa Cruz
Every seat in every stand was occupied
when the game was called and the Reli-
ance comba began the ope ming act of
batting Mr.. Dauben bis into respectful
frame of mind. 1t took just Sbout five
minutes for them to discover that Mr..
Daubenbis had postponed the pleasure of
being batted until some other time, and
forth they went into the field 10 indulge
in little procrastination on their own ac-
count.
For Santa Cruz, however, Williams
opened the second half of the inning with
a safe hit was advanced TO second, when
Captain Devereaux successfully remon-
strated with the balps onward rush, and
com mplet ted the circuit on.a sacrifice.
Three outs rolled into the game before
Captain Devereax could circumnavigate
the bases, and then the two teams settled
down to a game of outs with a consecu-
tiveness and regularity that filled the old
timers in the audience with gloom.
In the fifth inning the mon otony seemed
to strike all the Santa Cruz philosophers
at one and the same moment. They rose
up in their impatlence and scored three
runs by way of variation. In another
inning they stirred things up by filling
the bases when only one man was out,
but Immediately discovered that they
had merely rung in false alarm.
All this while the arm OF Pitcher
benbls seemed al stracted, but Kept q
moderately active surveillance on the en-
emy's evil intentions. The phenomenal

and the outfislding of Monkey Burge

crush. With the arm gone Santa Cruz
had nothing to do but stand and watcn
with startled and panied eyes the flight o1
the leather sphere as ii left each successive
Reliance bat and went sailing over their
heads. No kind of feeling could save the
game. 1t was a goner from the time
Daubenbis permitted his left wing to &C
prospecting.

same teams. The management of the

food SO a month. Half is drawn in pro-
visions and halt in cash. The half in cash
is paid to fund. Each mess has its own
fund, and the money is invested in shore
provisions each trip.
The amount is SIN all and ordinarily the
men in the mess nave m ade up the amolnt
needed to live well by putting in an extra
$3 or $4 each month. The experiment
being tried on the Brooklyn has been in
tended TO ascertain if the men could be as
we'll fed without their contributing the
extra money each month. Instead of the
crew being divided into messes with sepa-
rate commissary departments, one big
commissary department was formed, and
all the money was put in one fund.
AS far as the officers are concerned the
experiment has worked all right They
like it, ard there mas been no complaining
among them. The men, however, say
that they have not had the variety of food
that they had before. Under the old sys-
tenn if a man did not like what he
got for dinner in his own mess
ne could exchange places with
man in another mess where there was
dinner TO his liking, provided that
also man in that mess was dissatisfied,
and did not like the dinner which was be-
ing served to him. Under the new system
the food on every ia BILE has been the same,
so that there was no use in changing ta-
bes. Each sailorman, however, has the
money to his credit that he would have
had TO spend otherwise for food. This
fact, when the sailormen real re it, may
make them think well OF the new system.
If it does not work satisfa ctorilv it will
not be adopted generally.-New York Sun.

TN SALOONS
Complaints Made to the
Peice by Two Young
Men Last Night.
NJ. A. Miller Claims He Was
Held Up by Three Men in
the White Wings.
Charles F. Larabee Lost a Diamond
Ring and Some Money in the
Dome Saloon.

Two complaints were made to the police
last night by young men who said they
had been touched" in saloons.
The first was made by NJ. A. Miller, a
recent arrival from the East. He said he
was in the White Wings saloon, on Mason
and Eddy streets, about o'clock yester-
day morning. He was shaking dice for
drinks with three men who were drinking
at the bar, and not liking the way things
were going on he turned to leave, when
one of them grabbed hold of his arms and
forced them behind his back.
Another began to search through his
pockets, while the third warned him not
to make a row. They took about $50 out
of his pockets and penknife.
He struggled to get away from them,
and told them to let him free and he
would fight two of them at once, but he
could not manage the three. He appealed
to the bartender 10 help him, but he de-
clined to interfere. Then they threw him
into I he street.
He acknowledged that he had been
drinking, but was not SO drunk al not to
know the three men again. He met one
of them yesterday afternoon on the street,
and would have given him into custody if
he had seen a officer.
Detectives Anthony and Graham were
detailed on the case and went with Miller
in the hope that he might come across the
three men or either of them. The detec-
tives called at the saloon and the Dar-
keeper and the proprietors denied that
anything of the kind had occurred there.
Miller was in t e saloon considerably the
worse for liquor. H. had drink and
when he wanted more he was told to
leave. He went out muttering vengeance
against the saloon, and they suppose he
has made the complaint of robbery to get
even with them.
Up to late hour last night the detect
ives and Miller had failed to find the al
legged robbers:
The other case was that of Charles f.
Larabee, 1903 Market street. He epor,ed
that be was in the Dome Saloon, City Hall
avenue. Friday night, and fell asleep.
When he awoke yesterday morning he
found that he had been robbed of valu-
able diamond ring and S8 in coin. He
complained to the proprietor of the saloon,
who pleaded ignorance OF the affair.
