GOOD PROSPECTS FOR FANS
AT LAST THE LEAGUE SEEMS
WELL ON ITS LEGS.
BY JOE cORBETT.

The teams composing the Pacific Coast
League are playing much better ball
these days than one would imagine. Last
Sunday all over the circuit good baseball
was the order of things, even in our own
city, where in the past SO many miserable
exhibitions have been witnessed.
The leaders and those reputed to be
good teams lived up to their reputation.
yet for superb playing were outdone by
the lesser lights. Stockton and San Fran
cisco. These two teams put up a game
In Stockton last Sunday the like of which
has not been seen in that town for many
a day. For thirteen innings they fought
and struggled for supremacy, only to be
compelled to retire with honors even by
the going down of the sun. The excite
ment attending this grand game was Of
such nature as to completely unnervo
some of the boys, who are not as yet re-
covered from it's effects.
Every game played out of town was ex-
cellent and a credit to the boys. The
games at Recreation Park. especially
that Of Sunday, were exhibitions worthy
Of two times the attendance.
The situation at the present moment is
encouraging, indeed. The managers as
well as players have realized the urgent
necessity of playing good ball, and in
view of this fact the games from now on
will no doubt be the best seen here in
some time.
This conclusion 1 have reached by no
ticing the improved condition of most Of
the teams, and the snappy, glngery spirit
displayed by the Fresnos and Athletics
while playing last week. This spirit OF
playing hard and earnestly to win was as
scarce as good games but short time
ago. Teams would go upon the field de-
void of vivacity and the other qualifica-
lions so necessary to a teams success
They would play as though it made no
difference to them whether school kept
or not, and consequently the most miser-
able exhibitions of the game ensued. They
would not practice because it was too
much like work, and, in short, both man
ayers and players appeared to have be-
come inflated with the idea that all that
was necessary to make the league a
bowling success was to get together a
few teams, fit them out with uniforms
and bats, and let it go at that.
They unfortunately overlooked the prin-
cipal and most important part of all, that
of playing good ball" This oversight
would have amounted to but little had
all the morning papers undertaken to
make their fight. When 1T became OBJ
vious that no such luck was theirs and
that the papers intended writing them up
in strict accordance with the rules gov
erning baseball, they should have met the
situation just as it presented itself, by

Joe Warren, machinist on the steamer
Centennial, had an experience last We'd
nesday night that he will not forget in
many a long day. His vessel is lying out
in the stream off Long Bridge and War
rem was due on board at p. m. He went
TO the Folsom-street landing early in the
evening in hopes of finding the ships boat
there, but was disappointed. He waited
around until nearly s o'clock and then
started for the Mail dock thinking the
boat might have come in there. While
taking a short cut over the city's portion
of the water front he fell through one of
the numerous holes in the wharf and
found himself up to his neck in mud and
water.
In his fall Warren struck stringer and
hurt his left arm, side and leg. He yelled
for assistance but none came, and think
ing the tide was rising he scrambled to a
pile and there kept his head above water.
At intervals he repeated his cries for help,
but no one heard him, and at last he be-
came so exhausted that he could not be
heard even If anybody had been around.
After hanging to the pile for several
hours Warren found that the tide was
going out and soon the mud in which he
was standing was clear. He was then
powerless to help himself and his arm and
leg were paining him considerably. He
must then have tainted. because he re-
members nothing more until he awoke to

with gray. He had on suit Of blue

ELUSIVE DEER
Open Season Ushered in

MANY MEN IN THE FIELD
DOVES IN THE LIST OF GAM
THAT MAY BE SOUGHT.

Under the game laws of California, the
open season for shooting deer and doves
is ushered in this morning. Many sports
men are already in the fields. but the ma
jority from this city will not leave until
this evening or tomorrow. Not for many
years has a season given promise of such
royal sport, and, unless all the subtle
signs known to huntsmen fail, the men
who go far afield will return with game
bags filled to repletion.
If reports are to be believed the coun-
try is teeming with doves and deer The
past winter was a mild one. There was
but little snow In the Sierra Nevada
Mountains, so the deer have multiplied.
The light rainfall caused the small water
holes to dry unusually early this year
with the result that the deer will be found
in greater numbers near the large streams
than heretofore.
The members of the Country Club and
Mt. Tamalpais Club in Marin County are
promised excellent sport by their game
keepers, who have been jealous in the
preservation Of the game under their
charge Many parties will plunge at once
into the Businesses of Mendocino County
which is practically the home of the deer
in this State. A party made up of Her
bert Spencer, Charles Dietz. Lloyd Eaton
Round Valley, Mendocino County.
j. Cadman will put his sporting for
tunes to the test in the field some forty
miles above Ukiah. Paul Delmas and

vided by the Mt. Tamalpais Club pre-
serves.
John E. Richards and son left on We'd
nesday for Shasta in quest of deer.
Judge W. w. Morrow left on Tuesday
for Trinity County, and will be ready for
the elusive deer when the season is ush-
cred in this morning.

Doves are to be found in abundance
throughout the greater portion of the
State. They are particularly numerous in
the district about Walnut Creek, Dan

and Tulare counties will provide more
than their share of the birds, while to the
north, near Vacaville, the shooters only
complaint will be that the birds are too
numerous. There are number of fresh
water springs In this vicinity from which
the doves cannot be driven away.

Against Executive Jail Delivery.
Picayune.

Picayune.
Ordinarily, when criminals are
sentenced to the penitentiary for
life, it simply means Imprisonment
for a period more or less brief.
and that through untimely and
mistaken clemency, justice is de-
frauded, and other men who wish
to commit like crimes are eucoura-
ged to do so in the confidence that
they will in all likelihood, if con-
victed, be sentenced to imprison-
ment, from which they are soon to
emerge with a full pardon.
Realizing the great and frequent
abuses that are practiced in this
way, the Ohio Legislature, at its
last session, enacted q law which
provides that when a person is
convicted Of murder in the first
degree and is recommended by
the jury to the mercy ofthe Court,
the Court must impose a life sem
tence in the penitentiary; that no
person who has been so convicted
and ON recommendation to mercy
has been sentenced to life impri-
sonment shall thereafter be recon-
mended for pardon or for a miti-
cation Of the sentence, except up
on clearly established proof of in
nocence.
The law was attacked on the
ground of unconstitutionality, in
that it deprives the executive of
his constitutional power to pardon.
However that may be, there ought
to be come way to prevent State
executives and pardon boards from
rescuing condemned murderers
from justice, and from emptying
prisons of duly convicted felons,
when there is no new evidence to
establish the innocence of the par
ties. To-day the announcement
that a criminal has been sentenced
to q long term of Imprisonment is
regarded as little more than a
fnrce, if he has any friends or
possesses any political influence.
Conviction under such conditions
is next to impossible; but. should
conviction be had, the carrying
out of the sentence is extremely
improbable.
