= Napoleon James Joseph Fagen, mana.
"Gerof the California Market baseball team,
is tired; Napoleon is very tired. He is
. as exhausted as a m an on the desert with
ont water anc a dead horse.
: T. The Will & Fincks are tired; they are
very Tired. They are az exhausted as when
: F4ker Sharkey, hit by Fitzsimmoas, in
great pain, went TO the floor and simu-
-]a1ed being struck by foul blow.
:. Napoleon James Joseph Fagen is weary
over: the Gisaffection in his team. The
.IIlembets of the nine say tha: they want
~faoley- and as they see no dough" in the
ret tErns at Central Park they are clamor-
ing for stipulated salaries. Fagen is not
IN d posilion to accede to these demands
+1aIif chaos Telgns ike 1t did in the womb
. Of creation.
- MAJ oleon James Joseph Fagen, adjust
Ing his goggles. attempts TO assuage the
..T(rilied feelings of the players by assuring
them they will win the pennant put up
.:by the yellow journal and the $1,000 offered
:tne. winning Team by the management.
; '=Rut, say the players, "hoW can we
win that $1,000? We, like Fresno, are IN
the consomme. II won't dc, Napoleon,
for yOutO tell Us that we are the one oys-
<ieT in the stew. when we know that we
are the soup. We want no more yellow
lin ours.
. What IS the result? Those who go to
: Central Park Sunday expecting to see
tberg twirl will be disappoinl The
great pitcher for the nine Will hereaf er
appear in a Stockton uniform. This Is
why Napoleon James Joseph Fagen is
somewhat tired. Peters, the former
catcher for the Markets, is playing with
Stockton.
And the weary feeling that has come
over the VIII & Fincks is owing to the
game played al Central Park on Sunday
with Santa Cruz. Before Santa Cruz sent
a ball over The home plate, they expected
from the management $156. This was $34
e less than the entire gate receipt. The
. WIFI & fincks were paid $50 80. Now the
players claim that they put up better
game OF ball than Santa Cruz, and they
ask. by what malh matical computation
is the pro oblem solved. If Santa Cruz re-
ceiYed $l56 and VIII & Fincks $50 so, they
very perUnently ask If the difference be-
tween $l56 and so so which IS $135 80, is
aLeto the philanthrOpic considerations OF
the management-in other words, to
charity?
-. According to the yellow journal the
Bushnell AIerts and Will d Fincks will
play tom orrow afternoon al Central Park.
Sunday the Will 81 Fincks and the Cali
fornia Markets are scheduled 10 play at
Central Park.

should understand there is great disaffec-
lien among he players ana consequently
they will not put up good game. The
players say this. 1t must not be under
stood, however, that the players in these
clubs cannot play the game. They are
simply discouraged and repudiate tie yell
low journal management.
