A SPECTACULAR
NIu4A INNING
The Ball Tossers From the
South Snatch Victory
From Defeat.
Husky Held's Luminous Three
Bagger Was the Conolud-
ing Chapter.
It Was snappy and Exciting Game,
in Which the 0aklanders Had an
Overdose of Hard Luck.

The Heesemans and the heavy weights
from Los Angeles were on even terms
when the ninth inning opened. the
score being then 4. The Central Park
grand stand and bleachers were in an up
roar and the maj ior portion OF their oecu-
pants were bowling for the lads from the
Citrus Belt to win.
the finish was spectacular.
In one-two- three order the OakIanders
were disposed of, and then up walked the
Southerners to say whether or not there
was 10 be an extra inning. Their verdict
was nit" That strong and lynx-eyed
boy Held saw to it that there was no stay
of execution. He waited until little Mac
caron:-but this midget spells it Manger-
ini-ha1 anchored himself safely on frs;
through the OF posing pitchers Inability
to see the plate, and then he lined out a
marvellous three Dagger. Little Macca-
or Mangeriui--never made his stumpy
legs paddle so fast before. But he finished
the three -cornered C rcuit from first to the
homepIate all right and the victory was
won. 1t was victory deserved and
earned. With whoop and hurrah the
bali field was deserted without even f1n-
was no need OF finishing 1t.
1t was an interesting game and often ex.
citing-a good beginner for the finals oil
TIE championship tournament The
Heesenans started off in what seemed TO
be winning jog, bnt they reckonei not
upon the uphill battling qualities of the
giants from the land of the orange and
the lemon. These latter gents" were
not at all dismayed by the comparatively
easy manner IN which the lads from over
the bay cracked out two com Portable runs
right at tae very beginning of the contest,
nor at the goose eggs which they them
selves earned during three more innings
after the first. They just peeged along
until the fifth, and then set off fe "
rockets themselves. They had by this
lime begun to solve the mystery of the
curves Farron had been entwIning around
the plate and were strengthening some OF
them out. The result was tnat the score
vas tied in this inning.
Then there was some delightful see
saving. The Southerners had their OPP
ponents somewhat ratified now, and sue
ceeded in sending another man in for a
fat, Juicy tally in the sixth. The Oak
anders found 1t incumbent to steady up a
bit ard succeeded. They held the big fell
| lows down TO nothing in the seventh, and
| taking courage proceeded to bat in the
eighth. Two more runs were their re-
/ ward and they were once more in the lead.
! But their glory was short lived. The Los
Angeles boys got run themselves in thai
| inning ana the score was evened. Then
came iAe ninth inning and Held's solar
plexus three Dagger. The appended score
will tell the story OF Oakland's fall il

TWO OF the first to appear for work were
Miss Grace Sorn berger and Edwin Wright.
They renewed their acquaintance and
agreed 20 marry as soon as the season
was over. They made no secret of their
intention, and their fellow-workers ex-
pected to hear of wedding any day. The
young couple, however, attended steadily
to work, and both laid up their savings.
Yesterday they decided hat the time had
come when they should close their en-
gage rnent. To the surprise of their elbow
workers. they did not report for duty, and
the reason soon became known. They
slipped into Oakland, went before a
Methodist minister and in the evening
returned quietly to the camp.
To the surprise of the groom and bride
their home coming had been anticipated
and the camp band was out in full force.
All sorts of additions were made for the
occasion and neYer has such a serenade
been heard or seen in San Francisco.
Many OF the campers were unduly 'in-
spired' for the occasion. The serenade
Increased in volume, but not in harmony,
and as midnight approached Mr.. and Mrs.
Wright were forced to board late eiec-
tic car amt seek peace and seclusiou in
this city. They returned 10 their work to-
day and intend to take a honeymoon

was arranged made the biggest bag of the
year.
. This season the rivalry has been re-
~newed and Hoefeng and DR.. Simmons
m ade O. wager that they would bring back
not less than sixty curlews as a result oil
one days sport. Georre Oakes, the cid
time Journalist, held the stakes, and the
two nlmroqs sailed forth. DR.. Sim N ons
had a great deal less faith in his power TO
win the wager than Hoeheng. Frank was
perfectly composed and was inclined to
boast little.
When they reached the marsh not a
curlew was in sight, and Simmons face
=: fell. Frank laughed and told him to get
his gun ready. Simmons doletully asked
for what purpose.
HoefisEg- commenced to whistle like a
cur!ew, and as ne held his hand to his lips
simmons felt certain that his friend had a
curlew in his hand, and prepared to shoot
IN that direction. No curIew came from
Hoefeng's hand. but he continued to
whistle, and some little specks appeared
IN the distance. As they approached it
was seen that they were eurlews, and as
they were passing Hoef1eug the doc
tor shot nearly a dozen. Simmons was
struck dumb, and would have declared
Frank wizard could be have found his
voice.
Hoefleng tramped about the.marsh and
kept up a ontinuous cIrlew- hlste, and
birds came to him in clouds. Before the
q. day was over seventy-four birds had been
placed to their creditI and they returned
to Haywards with their bags and claimed
the money.
"Hoefeng is the most marvellous decoy
L ever heard" said George Oakes to-day.
."His method of attracting the birds is
simply irresistible. l have been out with
him and have watched the result, but
with long practice he can initiate curlew
to perfection.
HGef1eng has several medals for his
skill in hunting.

HOW KURTZ Was HURT.
The Injured Berkeley Freshman
Tells of the Happen
ing,
Students Subscribing to Pay fol
Medical Attendance for the
Unlucky Rusher.

BERKELEY, CAL, Sept. 4.-Ben kurfZ,
the freshman whose face was terribly
smashed in the rush last Monday. has re-
covered from his injuries sufficiently TO
give an account of how he was hurt. His
story surrounds the unfortunate affair
with good deal of mystery.
kurtz declares that be was left in
charge of sophomores that were tied up
during the afternoon, among them being
President Miller of the sophomore class.
He bad instructions to guard them and
wa. doing so, when a mum Der of class
mates of the tied up men charged on him
to effect a release. They knocked him
over and he thinks that his face was
ste pped on in the scrimmage.
President Miller is inclined 10 think that
Kurtz is mistaken in his view of the affair.
Another explanation offered is that Kurtz
was stepped on by some one of the i'm
men Sc crowd at the rush. The victim s
report OF he matter is borne out, however
by remarks he made during the delirium
following the accident. Kurtz was a long
time in coming to his senses and he con-
stantly dropped remarks during his men,
'al wanderings that showed his mind WAS
bent upon guarding the sophomore.
-
SC Gus he constantly repeated the orders
he had received-:o guard the tied-up 90
men.
Kurtz's injuries are not as bad as at first
reported, but they will disfgure him for
life. There is great sympathy for him in
the student body. and liberal res ponse
has been made to the call for subscri D.
tions to pay doctors 10 attend the un-
lucky rusher.

was brought to conclusion by we'd
ding yesterday.
Two of the most industrious of the work
ers in the cannery between San Leandro
and Hay wards N met,during the season ayear
ago, and being of practical turn OF mlnd
they decided that they would wait Tor a
year 10 see if they grew tired OF each
other. They are Edwin Wright and Miss
Grace Sornberger. They knew OF no
reason why they should not be made one
last year, but they quietly concluded thar
if they were intended Tor each otter they
could wait. So a solemn compact was
entered into that they should separate
and not communicate with each other
but shoald meet again when the cannery
opened up this year. Neither knew from
which part of the county the other came,
and each lived in tent during the busy
season.
