STOCKTON. CAL. Oct. 17.-Much In
terest was manifested by the public in the
game of baseball played this afternoon
between the Antioch nine and the team
from the Terminal City Wheelmen OF this
city. About a month ago the mines met
a Antioch and the Stockton team won
by score OF TO in a closely contested
and exciting game. Since then there has
been keen rivalry between the mines anc
to-day the supremacy was settled. The
game was in tie Stocktons hands from
start to hnish. Garvin for he home team
pitched good game and only seven hits
were made off him. In the third inning g
the local nine made ten runs and after
that did not make any great effort to shut
out the visitors They had an easy time
of it and the score of 15 to 10 in favor of
the local team told the story at the end OF
the ninth inning.

THE PARK Is THRONGED.
The Best Attendance for Twelve
Months Packed It's Walks and
Drives Yesterday.

The beautiful weather yesterday after
noon caused an unusual number of people
to seek an outing. Golden Gate Park was
thronged with pedestrians, bicycle-riders.
equestriaHs and drivers of many kinds OF
vehicles. Captain Thomson of the park
police says the crowd was the larges:
which he has seen there in the past six
months, and superintendent McLaren
estim ates that it surpassed any collection
of pleasure-seekers who have gathered
there in the past twelve months.
The museum as usual was visited by
many of these, and the center of attrac-
tion was the three magnificent pieces OF
statuary which have just been put on ex-
hibition there through the einstrumentaI-
lty OF Mayor PheIan. All the afternoon
groups were gathered about the images of
Saul, Deliah and Merope, and many ex-
pressions of admiration were heard.
/. Among the new donations are two por-
traits of General Sutter, and Madonna.
from John BardweiI; a war drum. and a
most wonderfully well-m ade fishnet of the
K Kiamath Indians, which were presen ted
by ex-Superintenden mt John Daggett of the
Mint. The strings OF which the net Is
made is of the Der of a hem pike grass.
and is as smooth and strong as some of
the best OF our modern man ufactured
cords. 1t is woven in diamond patterns
and ls very handsome.
The crowd at the Sutro Baths was a
good deal larger than even the nun Der
which last Sunday afternoon greeted
Fritz SeheePs orchestra. The chief fea-
ture there was the aerial performances of
Charm on, whose grace and daring gave
great pleasure 10 the audience. The ia
vorite OF the boys in the tanks was eyi-
IDENTITY the dancer, Trixdeda, for they
gathered out of the water TO watch and
the hush of their usua! con tinuous racket
proved that they were being very highly
entertained.
AT the Chutes also there was a yery
large crowd where The usual sports and
the new feature of feeding the lions in
public took place.

The Olympic were given taste OF the
same medicine tn at they administered to
Reliance a week ago by the Stocktons yes
terday, but in much larger dose.
The smile that Manager JackMc Glynn's s
countenance wore during the past week
has wholly disappeared. and when las.
seen he was making for a place where
deep mourning could be bought.
The hotly contested game was witnessed
by a great gathering of baseball enlhus.-
asts, which seems to increase at every sue
ceeding came.
Each spectator felt in duty bound TO
use his or her voice, and the great racket
that fosted over the grounds would have
done credit to the widest kind of politi-
cal celebration.
Neither team was able to score until the
seventh inning. although having men re-
peatedly on bases. 1t was III the seventh
when Stockton began hostilities. Harper
was safe on a hit 10 short and was ad-
vanced on Walters sacrifice. SmitA flew
high in the air, and after juggling the call
Bruning held it. Diminut1ve "CooZ"
Billings then stepped to the rubber, and
waiting for nice one, hit square on the
nose and sent it far ont over the center
telder's head Tor two cushions. And then
you should have heard the howl of delight
as Harper scurried home! The vast vol
ume of sound was vivid reminder of the
days when present players sat in the
bleachers dreaming of the future.
Monohan, late of Central Park, had the
first opportunity 10 hit lively ball. and
he made the most of it. He slammed it
in the same direction, and "Cootsy"
reached home safely. Monohan taking
second and third on Zans high throw to
the plate. He scored a moment later on
Charley Ford's only passed bail.
In the ninth Stockton gathered another.
Walters gained his base on Bruning's 5
tumble, and was advanced by Smiths
sacrifice. Then Billings repeated his per-
formance by rapping out second two
bagger. and Walters scored.
The O.ympics were unable TO do much
with George Harper's delivery. He has
at his best. Whenever he was batted far
the Stocktons' MIN bic tielders were always
there.
In the fifth inning occurred the only
double play of the game, but it was the
finest seen in many moons. 1t prevented
Stockton from scoring when three men
were on the bags. Harper was safe on
Peoples error and was advanced to third
on Walters and Smith being hit By
Wheelin.
Billings sent a hot one to Peoples, who
returned it in time to shut Harper off at
the plate. Monohan then hit TO Cos
linsky, who returned the ball 10 Ford,
and Walters went out. Smith seemed to
be bewiIdered, as he was at Walters heels,
and was also put out
Wheeler was a trihe wild during the
whole game and the Olympics all seemed
to have an off day.

THE PERIL OF THE NATION.

DIR. stephens Says the Greatest Danger
Is the Liquor Trade.
Rev. John Stephens of Simpson Memo.
rial Church, delivered an in teresting SER
mon last evening. his subject being: 1.-The
Greatest Peril of Our Nation" The
greatest peril of the nation, according to
The minister. is the liquor traffic and the
saloons. With an eloquence that shows
the interest he has in the cause of tenn per.
ance that he advocates in church and out,
he pictured the horrors that invariabl
result from the excessive use of intoxi-
eating liquors, and what the universal in
dulgence therein will surely lead to. Con-
tinuing, ne stated that the reason that the
American people drink, is not that
they think it is of any benefit to them,
but because they like whisky. For all
this reason the pleasure does not compe n
safe for the cost.
This. he said, is proved by the fact that
the estimated value of liquor in the United
States Is greater than all of the gold taken
out OF the mines OF California since the
tlme the precious metal was discovered at
Suffers mill. And, further the cost OF
the stun amounis to more in wear than
the cost OF the bread and meat OF the en-.
tire population.
Wh1le these statements were startling
ne SAID that others connected with the
liquor trade are more startling. For in
stance, the people spend only one-tenth as
much for educational purposes as they do
for whisky. and twenty times as much for
liquor as they do in the cause of religioa.
Nine-tenths OF the insanity and five-sev-
enths OF the crime in the land is 20 be
traced directly TO the same cause
He asserted that while the United States
claims 10 be among the foremost nations
on the earth she is behind several in the
matter of protecting its citizens from this
curse. Norway, Canada and England have
taken the initiative IN putting down this
evil, or at least in prescribing and limiting g
its use.
DR.. Stephens is of the opinion that Cali
fornia is morally inferior to the other
States of the Union because she has more
saloons in proportion to the population
than any other, and hence the corruption
must be frightful. In conclusion he said
that the only way to lessen the peril to the
nation is to drive out the saloons, but be
failed to state how this is 10 be accom-
pills he'd.

FRESNO, CAL, Oct. 17.-In an exhibi-
ton game at Athletic Park to-day the
Fresno Republicans we're defeated by the
Alamed Alerls by a scor- of TO t. The
home Team put up an unusually poor
game to-day, some of the best players

crowd was out to witness the game. An

Over 1000 people saw the Reliance of Oak
land defeat the Gilt Edge baseball team at
Snowflake Park to-day by score OF to
5. The game was one OF the best play ed
here this season, and while there was a
sprinkllng of costly errors many of the in
dividual plays were of a phenomenal or
der.
Van Haltren and Stanley filled the
points for the Reliance team and Harvey
and Farrell lid Likewise for the Brewers
Van Haliren, after The first three in
nings, settled down and pitched asplendid
game, and StanIey's work benlnd the bat
is seldom equaled for sureness and eff
cheney. Farrel's hands wers sore and be
could not hold Harvey's delivery.
Neither pi; cher was hard hit and the
Reliance won out by superior base run
ming. Riley at short made two costly er-
rors and was jollied by the crowd. The
feature OF the game.was Lange's phenome =
nal work at third base, where he accepted
a dozen chances without break. Lock

game Al short. Score:
