THE NEW BALL TEAM.
Further Arrangements Made for
the Coming Season.

The Board of Directors of the new
Sacramento club in the California Base
ball League held q meeting last evening,
but owin@ to the sickness of one of the
directors the election OF officers of the
beard was postponed until the meeting
next week
At last nights meeting Will E. New
bert was selected as Manager Captain
OF the team, while w. H Young will be
Secretary Of the club and manager of
the grounds at Oak Park.
Manager Newbert reported that he

Smith, short stop: Ridley and McHale,

He also reported that he had ordered
the uniforms for the team, which viii
be of electric blue, with white trim
mings. a very neat and pretty combi-
nation.
The grounds at Oak Park are being
put in condition and the players are
practicing every evening.
Sanford, the new pitcher, is an East
of the best twirlers on the coast. The Sac
ramento club opens the season at Stock
ton next Sunday with the strong team
frcm that town. which is said to have
been greatly strengthened since last
season.
The first came on the home grounds

ton to give the local players an oppor-
tunity to play in the team, and no out

ted not having told him where he had
secreted the trousers taken from the
Japanese.
Then James Darwin told his story
again, substantially as heretofore pub
lished He was a friend, companion
and roommate of Leroy and Starlight,
but claimed that he has not particl-
pated in any of the Jobs" in which
they have figured here. Darwin was
not a willing witness against the men
at least when confronted by them IN
court, but City Attorney de Ligne's
pointed queries had the effect of elicit
ing from him what was desired, or at
least all that was expected.
Darwin said ne had known Leroy ana
Searight about two months. He came
here with them from Marysville. About
o'clock last Saturday morning Leroy
and Starlight came into their room IN
the Vendome lodging house. They had
a small. dark purse. which they cut
UP and threw out of a window. he
also saw Leroy have a large jimmy
which he put into his pocket when he
went out When he asked Leroy why
he had not told him where he had put
the trousers of the japanese, Leroy told
him he had forgotten about it. Leroy
told him he had thrown his gun and
iimmies into the river In the first
conversation with Leroy, the latter told
him he got into the Croly house through
a front window, and had thrown his
tools away, around the corner from
Croly's.
officer Douglas, who found the Jap's
trousers where they had been thrown
away by Leroy, explained how and
where he obtained them, and Officer
Maley told about the recovery of the
jimmy at Fifteenth and Q streets,
where Starlight said it had been
thrown
After J. G. Fields, the junk dealer at
Fifth and I streets, had testified to
having sold one of the jimmies to Lee
roy and Searight, the case was closed,
and Justice Davis held the defendants
to answer for robbery, with bail at
$4,000

TO Be TRIED FOR ROBBERY.
LEROY AND Starlight HELD IN
$4,000 BAIL
Bound Over for the Robbery of a
Japanese ON Saturday
Last.

Charles Leroy. whose true name is
Charles Walker, may never be tried Tor
the atrocious crime committed by MIN
on Sunday night, when he shot 4. ).
Croly in the latter's own home at
Twelfth and P streets while in the act
of committing a burglary. he ana ms
pal, James Searight, were yesterday
held to answer by Justice Davis on the
charge of robbery made against them
by / Honda, the japanese who was
nearly killed by a blow on the mead
from Leroy's iron instrument known as
Jimmy"
The reason for prosecuting the thugs
on the robbery charge is that Mr.. Gro
ly is likely to recover, and that there
fore there may be no opportunity to
charge the men, or either of them, with
murder. Under the law the penalty for
robbery may be to the extent of life
Imprisonment, while for burglary 1t IS
limited. Of course, If Mr.. Croly should
die they would be charged with and
prosecuted for the greater crime OF
murder, but fortunately there is now
fair prospect that he viii survive his
wounds.
Houda, the complaining witness,
testified at the preliminary examina-
ton yesterday that early on Saturday
morning he was aroused from sleep by
q man pulling his trousers from under
his pillow. When he arose he was at
once struck over the head with an iron
bar, and the blow daZed him. He said
the trousers contained $33, a purse and
three keys
Asked If the man who assaulted him
was present, the Japanese pointed to
Leroy and said he was the man.
Leroy made no attempt to crOss-ex-
anime the witness, and officer Fisher
was called
The officer told about the confession
made on Monday by Searight-a syn
opsis of which was published yesterday
relating all the circumstances attend
ing the raid on the Japanese house, and
the type written document was identi-
fed by the witness.
City Attorney de Ligne then read the
confession, which showed that it was
voluntarily made by Searight after be-
ing informed of his legal rights.

overheard on Monday between Leroy
and Darwin, a companion of the pair,
in which Leroy told Darwin he regret

HARD BLOW TO ORCHARDISTS
UNSEASONABLE FROST WIPES
OUT FRUIT CROPS.
That Of Yesterday Was the Worst
Ever Known Here So Late
in the Season.

If the reports received by the Rec
ord Union" yesterday from fruit-gro
ing localities in this vicinity were not
exaggerated, there will be very little
fruit of any kind gathered the coming
summer, with a still poorer prospect
OF any surplus for shipment out of the
State
Yesterday mornings frost was one of
the seVerest that has occurred since the
winter season set in, yet it came when
the fruit trees are either all in bios
som 0r with swelling and tender buds.
The Weather Bureau report states that
the mercury fell to 30 degrees in this
city, but in the lowlands along the
river it went as low as 70 degrees.
Henry f. Isham of CORTLAND reports
that the frost was one of the worst
ever experienced in that neighborhood
at any season of the year. 1t was fear
ed that everything in the way of fruit
and vegetables had been killed, even
to the pear crop, which is one of the
latest and hardest
Alexander Brown of Walnut Grove
thought Bartlett pears would prove to
be the only fruit that escaped destruc-
ton in that locality and orchardists
The mercury there fell to % degrees in
exposed places, and hydrants were
frozen.
From Freeport report was received
to the effect that people from along the
river yesterday declared that the
peaches, apricOts, plums, cherries and
even apples had been frozen, or were
believed to have been 1t was so cold
Al, 3,
frozen within twenty feet of a warm
stove.
Tomato vines covered up in hot-beds
were also said to have been nipped in
the vicinity of Freeport.
On the other hand, persons from the
doWn-river sections who visited the city
yesterday said that, While the situa-
ton was bad enough, the frost effects
had probably been exaggerated. One
man declared that no such frost could
Kill the pear crop, but that apricots
and reaches could hardly survive it,
neither could tender vegetables.
Manager Hechtman of Porter Broth
ers' Company received word from Vaca
vile and vicinity to the effect that the
frost had probably destroyed the peach
and apricot crops, and similar reports
from that section were received by the
Earl Company.
David Reese said he left Florin early
in the morning and had no opportunity
to learn to what extent injury had
been done. The frost was a heavy one,
however, and he feared the result.
Later in the day Mr.. Reese said he
had seen persons in from Florin, and
they reported a sad condition Of the or
chards. One man brought in a branch
of a peach tree cut after the warm sun
had struck it, and every bud on it was
blackened and dead. Hydrants, water
troughs and ponds were frozen to a
depth Of more than half an inch.
No word was received from along the
American River, except that the frost
was not so heavy in that direction.
While it is possible, as before stated
that many of these reports indicate
worse condition of things than really
exists, still the outlook for orchardists
this season is a very blue one.
