YOUNG DEBATERS.
Oak Parkers Get the Decision Over
the Fiorin Club.

Joint debates seem to be a drawing
card out in the country, as was evil
denced by the attendance at the Joint
debate a few weeks ago at F'lorin be-
tween the Oak Park and Florin De-
batting Clubs, when Jones Hall of that
place was crowded
At that time the Oak Park debaters
came out first best, whereupon they
We're Immediately challenged by the
Webster Debating Society of South
Florin, considered to be the crack de-
batting society of that section of the
county, as they have never been known
to be defeated yet in joint debate.
The challenge was accepted by the
Oak Park Club, and the meeting was
arranged TO take place at Florin on
last Saturday evening. The subject
was:
Resolved, That foreign immigration
into the United States should be pro-
hibited'
Webster Society took the affirmative,
and the negative by the Oak Park Club.
a great deal of interest was taken in
this debate, and as a result the hall
at Florin was crowded to it's utmost
capacity, many being turned away for
want of accommodation
The Oak Park contingent numbered
nearly a hundred, who went down in
hay wagons and other conveyances and
fairly made the little burg ring with
their hilarity
Messrs. H. Cox of Florin and Julian
Arnold of the Oak Park Club presided.
and Superior Judge E. c. Hart. Attor-
n =
George Taylor and f. c. Stewart acted
as judges. There We're five speakers
on each side. and each speaker was al
lowed fifteen minutes. The two clubs
We're represented and spoke in the fol-
lowing order:
Webster Society-L. H Miller. Ed.
Lewis, Arthur Jenkins, David Jenkins
and ]. II. Parr.
Oak Park-M. Brooke, Roy Brooke.
G.. W. White, c. e. Candy and A. f.
Lisley.
Each speaker was listened to with a
great deal of interest They all gave
proof Of having made much prepara-
ton for their tasks, but it was plain
from the start that the Oak Park boys
had the best of the argument, as they
showed that, while restriction of immi-
grafton was desirable. absolute prohibi-
tion would be detrimental to this coun-
try from either a scientific, humani-
tartan or economic standpoint. Both
sides entered into the contest with a
vim that proved determination to
win.
At the close of the debate Judge Hart
announced that a majority of the
judges had decided in favor of the neg
ative, which announcement was re-
ceived with rounds of applause.
Prior to the debate a short literary
and musical programme was carried out
by representatives from each club.
It is understood that the Oak Park
Club now stands ready to receive chal-
lenges from any debating society in
the county to meet in joint debate
Two successive victories have imbued
them with feeling of confidence.

JAUNT TO WOODLAND.
Hermann's Sons and Others Had a
Pleasant Excursion.

Seven cars were required to carry the
SacramentanS who attended the Her
mann Sons picnic at Woodland yester-
day All were out for a good time
and from all accounts they were not
disappointed A royal reception was
given the Sacramento members of the
order and their friends, and only words
of praise for the Woodlandites were to
be heard when the excursionists re-
turned
About thirty members of the Capital
City Wheelmen made their promised
road run, taking the excursion train
and debarking at Davisville, from
which point good time was made to
Woodland.
Shortly afternoon a picked baseball
nine from the cyclists lined up against
the regular Woodland team, and were
beaten by a score of IA to 5. The boys
say the result might have been differ
ent had their battery been in training.
They report having enjoyed themselves,
which was the main point aimed at.

BASEBALL GAMES.
Several Teams Met on the Diamond
Yesterday.

There was baseball galore yesterday,
and in all parts of the city. Teams rep
resenting the railroad foundry and ma
chine shop played a game on the
new Oak Park diamond, which was won
by the Foundrymen, who beat their
opponents so badly that the score lost
its interest for the spectators
At Fifteenth and streets the team
from Car Shop No. 5 beat the Boiler
makers in a close game. The score was
10 to 8.
BLACKSMITHS DONE UP.
OF all the ball teams from the rail-
road shops none seem to play quite as
good a game as the men from the roll
ing mill. 1t is a strong team in many
places, as it should be, for it has po
tions filled by members of the Cork
ers," one of the best amateur mines in
the State. Harmon has all the attri-
butes which enter into the composition
of frst-class pitcher, and the men
from the blacksmith shop were lost
when they attempted to find his curves
when the two teams crossed bats at
lTWenty-eighth and @ streets yesterday
morning.
Only five innings were played, and
while several good sprints were made
by the blacksmiths, they were clearly
outclassed. They, however, consoled
themselves by inviting the victors to
wait" The positions of the players
were as follows:
Rolling Mill-George, c.; Deriso, p;
Davis, 1st b.; Mitchell, ID b.; Dodge,
Sd b.; Clark, SIS; Bowers, l. f.; BallOu,

BACHELORS VICTORIOUS
Though the ground at Oak Park was
a little soft for baseball, the Benedicts
and Bachelors of the Sacramento Ath
! letic Club crossed bats yesterday morn
ing, and put up an interesting game.
Some excellent field work was done,
and the ball was hit for three bags
number of times. The batting of Koe
ming was feature of the game. The
mines lined up as follows:
Benedicts-Lavelle, c. Anderson, p;
Bertholds, 1st b.; Kiefer. ID b.; Harper,
Sd b.. Littlefield, SIS; Sherman, r. f.;
Benjamin, c. f.; Kidder, l. f.
Bachelors-Mellus, c.; Bauer, p;

Only seven innings were played. and
when the tally-sheets We're run up it
was found the Bachelors had won, hav-
ing piled up II runs to for the Bene-
diets.
THE MOSSBACKS WON.
Two pickup" mines, calling them
selves respectively the Antediluvians
and the Mossbacks, played a game of
baseball at Twenty eighth and 2
streets yesterday morning. and while
most of the crowd was attracted by
the game put up by the shop men at
the next crossing, some very good work
was done
n -year-old boy umpired the game
and he was strictly "onto his job" The
MOssbacks won, though they had moth

Rev. Levi Gllberfs Interesting and Eio- Quent Sermon Yesterday at Trinity M. F. Church-Indebtedness of the Past Year Is Wiped Out.
 The usual large audiences greeted the popular pastor of Trinity M. E, church, Rev. Levi Gilbert, beth morn ing and evening yesterday. It would seem that the ability to adequately maintain the benevolences of the church to so make the annual appeal for contributions to meet the necessary expenses that none shall feel hurt IS nowadays very essential to the minis ter, though perhaps it may involve du- ties not always the most agreeable nor inspiring. Yet MT. Gilbert yesterday morning gave another evidence of his power as Q pulpit orator in the impas- stoned manner in which he pleaded for an increased liberality among his church members in raising the finances of the church. This subject was Cheap Religion Repudiatad," and the sermon was a trumpet note calling his hearers to a religion that was not mere weak sentlmentality nor general good natured kindness, but practical show ing forth of a real and practical godli- ness. He utterly repudiated the idea of a cheap religion, and said that 1T religion was cheap it was worth noth- ing, There could be no distinction be- tween the praying members and the paying members in church. They must be identical. The praying mem bers may pray, and the paying mem bers must pray.
 The speaker said tha. he was tired Of hearing the cant phrase, 'the widows mite" People used it as an excuse for small offering, while it is a symbol or a woman giving her all
 Continuing, the speaker said: What shall be the attitude of an audience lis tening to such an address as this? Not like man climbing the dentists chair, but gladly encouraging the speaker as though they felt it a joy to have the financial work of the church presented.
 Tn this, as in all things, the Chris tian's motive should, be to reveal the love of God to men. If God is to re- deem the world He must use men. He has no hands but our hands, no feet but our feet, no lips but our lips. Then let them all be consecrated to Him.
 Following the sermon the financial statement of the work of the church was presented, and collection suffi- cient to cover the indebtedness was taken
