FIFTEEN STRIKE QUITS,
Bakersfield Gould Not Connect
With the Fresno Pitchers
Delivery.
It Took Two Hours and Half for
the Fresnos to Win the
Game.

1t took two hours and half yesterday
for the Fresno Republicans 10 show their
superiority over the Bakersfield team.
Tho length of :.me occupied in playing
the game and Thompson's many strike
outs were the only noticeable features of
the Iong-drawn-out contest.
The Fresno pitcher made quite a record
by tanning out fifteen of the Bakersfield
aggregation and onlv allowing them to
gel FIVE scratch hits off mis- delivery His
clever twirling would have gained him
greater appreciation had he not been so
deliberate IN his movements before launch
ing the sphere. His slow delivery only
gained him the crowds disapproval.
Knell pitched consistent game for his
team, but was poorly supported. He
allowed the hard Republicans but
nine hits, and a nun Der of them would
have been stopped had his men made an
eff )rt 10 get them.
Cnance played his usually strong game,
both in the field and at the bat The
many strike-outs made by Thompson was
due TO the excellent support given him.
At times the Republicans pitcher would
become ratified at the great noise made by
the Bakersfield sympathizers, but Chance
would steady him by his coaching.
Tn" winning team will meet the Bush
nell Alerts to-day, and it is hoped faster
game will result.

made in Yesterday CALL. At the session
of baseball magnates the representatives
OF the Will & Fincks and the California
Markets stoutly affirmed their rights.
This aroused the ire of the agents of the
yellow paper, and the managers were told
that if they did not accede TO the wishes
of the ochre journal their teams would
never play again on local diamond.
eve have said the journ alistic baseball
magnate, 1.-The control OF the Central Park
grounds, and also of The grounds at Six

Robinson has control of the grounds at
Eighth and Mission streets, and he has
obligated himself to us that no team in
the pres ent tournament shall play on the
grounds. Now what are you going 10 do

Now E. ]. Kaplan, manager of the Will

air became sulphurous in his righteous
indignation.

Now, in reference to the obligation OF
Colonel I. ?. Robinson that no team In
the present tournament could play at the
Eighth and Mission streets grounds, an
explanation is unnecessary.
Colonel Robinson some months ago met
Hearst's representative and McNeill, when
the baseball situation came up. The
colonel stated that he was about 10 lease

streets. 81 hope you will do nothing to
interfere with our games" said the Ex-
aminer man.
the colonel disclaimed anything of the
kind. There is nothing to prevent the
managers of the dlsaffected mines from en-
terinc into contract to play at the Eighth
and Mission streets grounds.
Last night the managers of the dissatls-
fed mines were approached by gentle
man of large properly interests in the city
and assured that the cudgel held over
them by the calf-colored journal, that
their clubs should be debarred from ever
playing a game in this city, was an idle
boast and meant nothing. He offered to
advance money to fix up the Velodrome
grounds for base pail purposes. The man.

The Fresno and Baker ofeld teams
played in this city yesterday. When ap-
prised of the dissatisfaction existing
among the city teams the mem bers of the
mines heartily approved of the stand taken
by the city mines. Said member of the
Fresno team:
This tournament, or so-called tourna-
ment, is a rank fraud. II there ever was a
humbug it is one. No sames are scheduled
in advance. Before we were dropped We
didn't know a week in advance what team
we were to meet. Every team has differ

Conclusion of the Chinese Test Case OF

of Ill Fame.
Sing Fa and Ah Leong, who were con-
victed by Judge Low about.a week ago
for having minor In house of i'll fame,
were each fined $50 yesterday morning.
Considerable interest was manifested in
the case, as the girl was rescued and taken
to the Chinese Methodist Mission Home,
but afterward returned or writ of habeas
corpus by order OF Judge Cook.
1t was Judge Lows intention at first to
send the two defendants to jail without
the option of fine. That prospect was
not pleasing to the defendants or their
attorneys, so they filed notice of their
inten ton to appeal. As this would entail
good deal of expense they decided to
waive their right of appeal and accept a
reasona bic fine. The Judge agreed to the
arrangement.
