AROUND THE DIAMOND.
The VioIets Defeat the San Francisco
Athletic Club by a Sore of
IL to 6,

The San Francisco Athletic Club tried
an experiment yesterday that proved
costly. They allowed a young man by the
name of Fleming to pitch two innings for
them, and within that short time the
''southpaw" created record that will
stand for quite a time. In the two innings
that he pitched the Violets stacked UP
eight runs in this order:
+. Kelly, one OF the many Kellys who
com pose the Violets, came to the bat and
after watching Fleming's windmill style
of delivery was given his base on balls.
Kennedy by reaching far out was able to
make q neat sacrifice hit, advancing
Kelly. O'DaY sent pop fly 10 Van Nord-
man, and that gentleman gathered it in
neatly. Sweigert was given his base on
balls and filling the bases. Egan was hit
on the top of the head and smilinglv took
his base, allowing +. Kelly 10 score j.
Kelly 50 took base on balls, forcing
SweIgert nome, and Kronck went to first
on called balls. Fitzpatrick went out on
fly to Sheehan and ended the inning.
The Athletic Club boys came TO bat, but
went out in short order.
The next inning proved to be an easy
ming for the Vioets. Fleming could not
get The pitching under control and N one

on balls or by being hit by the pitcher.

MANY TARGETS
WERE SHATTERED
Knights Of the Scatter Gun
at the Olympic
Opening.
Lack of Familiarity With the
Grounds Made the
Scores Poor.
Over SeVenty.five Shooters Faced the
Traps During the Day-Names
of Those Present.

The new grounds of the Olympic Gun
Club at Ingleside were opened yesterday
under auspicious circumstances, a repre-
sentative crowd OF target-shooters being
present to take part in the various events.
Over seyentY-fve devotees of the scatter
gun faced the traps at different times dur
ing the day, and, though few shot up to
their usual form because OF lack OF
familiarity with the grounds and the
angles at which the birds were thrown,
all see med to thoroughly enjoy the occa-
sion. In addition to those who partici-
pated in the matches and their lady friends,
there were present large number OF the
veterans of the trap who no longer take
an active part in the sport, but who are
never missing when anything unusual is
on the tapis.
For an opening day the arrangements
were remarkably good, and very few
bitches of any consequence occurred.
There were six events on the card, all
being sweepstakes at inanimate targets,
the entrance fees varying from half a
dollar to three times that amount. The
first two events were at fifteen singles, the
second two at twenty singles and the fifth
and sixth at ten singles.
Squad-shooting was the rule in all the
matches and the targets were thrown at
known angles. Purses were divided on the
percentage plan according to the number
of prizes. Those who participated were:
Messrs. Sands Mack. Smell, Fox, Merrill,
Carr, o. Feudner, Tanning, Wett, Naumann,
Haight F. Feudner, Durham, Ross, Mattson,
Whitney, Owens, Duke. Justius, Franzen, H.

aid, Maskey, Bruns Bekeart.
There were no clean scores in the 20 and
Is bird matches, and but few in the
10-biId shoots, this circumstance being
due to the fact that only limited num-
ber of the shooters had ever shot over
these traps.
Few OF the shooters attracted more
notice than Tod Sloan, the diminutive
knight of The saddle, who, followed by his
valet, sauptered on to the grounds and
participated in few matches with indif-
ierent success.

| their credit, and had not Raymond, their
regular pitcher, gone to the box the Vio-
lets might have been running yet.
The Athletic Club boys did all they
could 10 even up the score, but Fitzpat-
rick pitched a steady game and held them
down 10 five hits.
The Athletic Club team was able to pile
up six runs, but strive as they might they
were unable to overcome the tremendous
lead given by tgeir experiment.
At no stage of the game was there any
sensational playing. 1t was evident that
both teams suffered from lack of prac-
tice, and this may be attributed to the
stormy weather of the past week.

putting Fleming in the box. The young

to be guided in their movements by a

excited over their ceremonies, and many
efforts were made to find gold, silver and
other metals accompanied with the per-
Torrance of certain religious rites. Resid-
ing in the town at that time were Rev.
Solomon B. Spaulding, Joseph Smith,
Brigham Young, and, In the adjoining
town of Poultney Oliver Cowdery.
Joseph Smith was a native of Sharon,
Vt, born in 1906; Spaulding was a native
of the town. An aged man now living,
who was country merchant there at that
period. and distinctly remembers all these
persons and narrates many of their pecu-
harities, gives personal descriptions of
several of them. Smith, il is asserted,
was poor, ignorant and dissolute;' Young
was the brightest and brainiest of the COM
pany. The people of the community called
the divining rod affairs, i'm after years,
the rod scrape," and others knew it as
the Wood scrape." Smith. Cowdery and
Young finally drifted away to Western
New York, and the Wood family drifted
ted to Ohio and settled near Cleveland. A
descendent of this family became an emil
nent lawyer, who was for seventeen years
chief justice of the supreme court of Ohio
ana four years governor of the state.
