HUMBOLDT, NEv., Oct. 3l.--Manager
William Barnie of the Brooklyn baseball
team and ]. Frank Eline, a prominent
Z s,ern theatrical manager, passed
through here tonight en- route to San
Francisco. Mr.. Barnie has charge of the
Baltimore club and Mr.. Eline represent is
the All-Americas, both of which teams are
to play a series of games at the Eighth
and Harrison-street grounds in San Fran
cisco. To THE CALL correspondent Mr..
Barnie said:
Both of our teams are in splendid
fettle and have been playing great ball.
Thew play to-day IN Denver, and go
thence to Salt Lake. arriving in San Fran
cisco in time to play the opening game
next Sunday. The teams are composed
of the best players in the league, and we
propose to show San Francisco base ball
enthusiasts how the game can be played.
Our idea is to play proba oily ten games in
San Francisco to start with; then either
the ALL Americas or the Baltimores will
be taken TO some of the interior towns to
play local clubs, leaving the other team in
San Francisco to play games with the
best clubs there. When the club we send
to the interior returns to San Francisco
the one which has been playing in oan
Francisco will be taken into the interior
to play local clubs and the club just re-
turned Will play the San Francisco clubs.
Before we return East We will take
both of our teams through the State to
play toge ther. BY this arrangement Cali
forna lovers of baseball will be enabled to
form an idea of the relative merits of our
clubs as well as their superiority over Cali
fornia clubs. We shall probably remain
in California most of the winter"
Out of difference to the promoters of the
football game to be played in San Fran
cisco on Thanksgiving day no baseball
will be played there on that day. One of
ramento and the other will probably 60 to
Fresno to play the Fresno Republicans.
Mr.. Barnie stated that he representa-
tives and promoter of what he now un-
derstands is termed yellow baseball in San
Francisco have tried TO dissuade Mr.
Ellne and himself from bringing their
players to the Pacific Coast. but after the
Eighth and Harrison street grounds were
secured they were ready to off.r any con-
cessions 10 them. even suggesting that
they call at the New York Journal ffice
and consult WI representative OF the
Examiner, who was then there on busi-
ness trip.
Mr. Barnie says that soon after he ar
rives in San Francisco he will perfect ar
rangements to play one game in aid of
charity. He Gould not give the full de-
tails until after he bad con nferred with the
owners o; the Eighth and Harrison streets
grounds, but there is one thing that he is
very emphatic about. That is: Charity
will receive the entire gate receipts on that
day. There will be no silent partners. no
percentage for yellow journalism and no
"rake-off' for anybody.
