THE DEFEAT OF
BALTIMORE.

The defeat OF the Baltimores at the hands
of the Gilt Edges in Sacramento Sunday
has aroused much interest in baseball cir
cles. 1t was deemed impossible for any
of the local clubs to defeat the great Ma
tioual League players.
Billy Barnie, the veteran player and
manager, witnessed the game. In speak
ing of it he said last night: Baltimore
was squarely and fairly defeated. The
game was played on its merits. Balti-
more couldn't win, and that was all there
is to it.
"Hughes pitched great game, and the
ball was hit into the players hands. There
is nothing in the report that Hughes has
been signed 10 play with the National
League next season. l think, however,
that he is promising pitcher"
The game at Central Park drags its slow
length along. The attendance is rapidly
diminishing.
To-day All America and Baltimore play
at Recreation Park, and tomorrow Balti-
more meets Reliance.
The game should draw crowd as the
public want to see local men go up against
the crack Eastern players.
On Tuesday the great charity game will
be played.

Duck hunters should make the best OF
the present opportunity to secure mess
OF birds on the marshes, as the next heavy
ra in will drive the broad bills many miles
from the bay TO the grain fields of South
ern California.
Canva sbacks still continue to patronize
the grain-fed ponds on Tubbs Island, and
spor;smen who have the privilege of
shoe ing on the island are enjoying good
sport.
In reference to The hunters from this

The Superv isors should levy tax upon every

only justice to our own hunters but is abso-

occupants into deep water. Ihe hunters
managed 10 reach shore, but they lost
their ammunition and guns. The shoot
ing-irons were discovered atterward by
some of the Suisun divers.
The Black Jack Club had gala outing
last SUNDAY near Antioch, and although
BIRDS were not found as plentiful as the
sportsmen had expected some OF the
members did very well. Jimmy May
nard, who is possibly one of the most ex-
pert duck shooters in the State, bagged
twenty-nine birds. which included "cans,
Black Jack, teal, W dgeon and sprlg. Fred
Johnson doubled up" with Maynard
when he discovered that at each shot the
feathers carried away the meat.
LLOYD Eaton and Charles Dietz ("Bill
Nye'O expended 200 cartridges with the
result that their bag consisted of ten
hard hit birds. Billy McCrae and friend
happened to catch au off flight and did
not do very well.
Mr.. Swaine shot only few birds. He
was on the wrong track also. In the early
morning, as the sportsmen were digging
their way IN doube-enders through the
trails that led TO the ponds, all OF them,
with he exception Of two invited guests,
known as Michae! Angelo and Mr.. May

PROSPECTING FOR
STRIPED BASS.

Anglers must not forget that the season
for catching trout in fresh water will close
with this month.
Mr.. Cooper caught nice basket OF trout
last Sunday in Paper-mill Creek, and W.
Johnson, who fshed the Laguni:as Creek,
also did well. 1t is said that Sulphur
Creek has been tished with marked sue
cess recently by anglers who live in Clo-
veriale.
Greek fishermen who reside near Auti-
och state that striped bass of large size
can be taken with rod and line at a point
in the San Joaquin River known as the
breakwater, and distant about three miles
from Antioch. Small hardmouths are
used for bait, but doubtless live shrim D
would prove to be very tempting lure if
properly presented 10 Mr.. Bass.
Recently gentleman from this city was
credited with having landed a sea bass at
Point Reyes on a 7-ounce trout rod. 1t
was reported that the fish was killed after
the angler had five hours fun with it,.
--latest intelligence from Point Reyes is to
the effect that the sea bass was shot bv
one of the keepers of the Country Club
while the fish was struggling in shallow
water and aferward sold TO the angler,
who took great pride in telling his friends
how the big game was bagged. The bass
weighed 45 pounds.
Jonn Benn, the Well-knOwn hy-tler,
will soon change his residence. Mr.. But
Ter, who is particular friend of old Benn,
has arranged TO plant John for the bal
ance of his days in comfortable dwell
ing on the banks of the famous Eel River,
III Hum boldt County, where the old
angler can enjoy happy moments at his
favOrite pastime during times when busi-
ness is slack.
Benn was the first of the fraternity OF
stream whlppers to discover that the
steelheads of Eel River will rise to fy
when the feathered lure is properly pre-
sented to the game fishes

For some weeks past young quinnat
salmon, otherwise known as grilse, have
afforded anglers good sport.
at this season of the year and just pre-
vious 10 the heavy rains grilse make their
appearance in the bay on their annual
un to the Sacramento River. Anglers
keep a sharp lookout for ether arrival,
and when the first good catch is made
then there is rush of fishermen with
heavy roles and lines to Powell and Lom-
bard street wharves, where the best sport
on this side of the bay is generally had.
Some very good catches have been made
during the past week, but experienced
anglers say better fishing will result next
month, as grilse weighing from two to six

pounds will then be taken. The fish that
are now being caught average about half
pound. but an occasional three -pounder is
landed on the wharf.
o. Sevening is looked upon by the
angling fraternity as being an expert bay
fisherman. He seldom misses days
fishing while the sport is good. Powell
street wharf is his favorite place for wait
ing and watching. Yesterday he caught
a few very nice fish. although at least
fifty poles pointed out from the sides of
the wharf within twenty yards OF where
he ST ood on guard. He uses large bam-
boo rod and an ordinary line, to which is
attached a three-foot leader. A two
ounce sinker is fastened to the line a bout

ing lure used by Sevening is spileworm
and strip from off the belly of a smelt,
which attracts the young salmon as il
wlggles in the current on the end of a
No. hook.
The best fishing to-day and tomorrow
should be from z A. NJ to 3PM

BISHOP THOMAS BOWMAN.

ton In the labor of managing the affairs
of the church and will spend the rest of his
days in quiet seclusion at the home of his
sister in Evanston, Ills He will continue
to be the senior member of the adimnistra-
tive council and to act as adviser and chan
cellor, but his position will be rather hon
orary than active.
Bishop Bowman will be 80 years old
next July, and for the last half century Of
hiE life he has been one of the most yigor-
Gus and successful workers among the
many to whom the Methodist church owes
its present prominence. Not only in the
United States has he labored, but In nearly
every portion of the globe
His father was a Pennsylvania farmer in
the valley of the Susquehanna, and he in
tended that his son should be lawyer. So
Thomas was sent to Dickinson college at
Carlisle At the age of 1G he had joined
the Methodist church, and it was with lit
tie difficulty that the president of that
good old Methodist institution induced
him to enter the ministry. On his twenty
first birthday he preached his first sermon.
! His first charge was horseback mission 20
miles long, and he stuck TO IL until he was
recalled to Carlisle to take charge of the
grammar school. Then his health failed,
and for number OF years he abandoned
tho ministry and conducted Il gristmill
near his old home.
With renewed strength he again took up
| ecclesiastical work and founded Dickinson
seminary. Then he went to Asbury uni
versity at Greencastle, Ind, and in IA
years succeeded not only in lifting the
enormous load of debt which threatened to
crush it, but pushed it into the front rank
of such institutions. 1t was through his
| influence that the university was made the
heir of W. @. De Paw, in whose honor its
name was changed TO De Paw university.
In 1879 he was made bishop and six
years later made his memorable foreign
tour, planting Methodist chnpels in many
foreign lands, Bishop Bowman has dodi-
Gated moro than / l,2O0 Methodist churches
during his career and has taken pr0mi-
nent part in all the important movements
in which his church has been interested
for many years.

Mckinley and Bryan. The voters
arranged accordingly and the result was
that single gold standard and the money
power won. 1t is very evident that If
we wish to restore justice and the con-
stitution and get out Of the grasp Of the
money power, there must be untiring,
united work, and every friend Of good
government must take hand and do
his duty. BY dividing or by dissension
we will only continue our enemy in
power and enable them to strengthen
the fetters that bind and enslave. Doubt
less these sentiments will find ready
and willing response in every true,
patriotic heart.

CHIEF JOSEPH.

ures In the parade was Chief Joseph OF the
Nez Perces tribe of Indians. The chief Is
q magnificent specimen Of aboriginal man
hood and Is today one Of the most famous
living warriors of his race. Under his lead
ership the Nez Perces nation gave the fed
eral government whole lot of trouble. He
outwitted the generals who were sent
against him, and 1t was only when he was
surrounded by an overwhelming force that
no surrendered.
Chief Joseph has been visiting the ma
tonal capital on special mission. He
wants to have the 1000 members Of his
tribe in the state Of Washington transfer
red to the other Nez Perces reservation in
Idaho and he went further east at the In
vitation Of General Miles, who conquered
him 90 years ago. In New York he met
General Howard, whom he had outwitted
in Arizona and Washington when the Nez
Perces were on the warpath. Ever since
surrendering to General Miles, however, he
has been good Indian. He swore by the
setting sun then never to make war on the
whites again, and he has kept his word.
He also met Buffalo Bill in the metrop-
oils and was an interested spectator at a
wild west performance. The Sioux Indians

the pipe of peace with him, loaded him
with presents and treated him with the
greatest respect. The Sioux and the Ne2
Perces were ancient enemies and the Sioux
generally got the worst of 1t.
Chief Joseph was much impressed by the
urban wonders which he saw, but q
stranger would never have known 1t, fol
he regarded the elevated trains, the sky
scraper Office building and the cable cars
with dignifled and stately indifference, but
later on, in confidential chat with friends
he expressed his interest in what he hat
seen.
"The east is strange to me-" he said. q.
