MERRY CHANGERS.
Those Of Oak Park Enjoy a Pleas
ant Rer1uion

Since the recent election new life
seems to have been infused into Grange
circles about Oak Park, judging from
appearances on Friday night in that
lively little burg, when Capital Grange
celebrated the addition of large class
to its membership by giving an enter
tainment and the usual harvest feast.
The program, under the direction Of
Mrs George Stettson, was excellently
rendered and merited the approval of
the large audience present. After the
feast had been partaken of dancing was
indulged in, music being furnished by
Fical & Hands orchestra. Following is
the program.

CHESS NOTES.
Improvement Of Players Of the
Capital Chess Club.

The present tournament of the Capt.
tai City Chess Club will finish, we are
informed. about the 10Th of December,
there having been played thus far only
forty-two games, the late election some
what retarding the progress of the con-
test in October and early part Of No
vember. ~
1t is noticeable that great improve
ment in the play of the members has
been made since last fall and Mr.. Good
man, the brilliant chess expert, who
kindly gave last winter several exhi-
bitions of his skill, would find now the
winning against the players of the club
by no means so easy a task A cor
rect estimate of the relative improve
ment would show very close to the fol-
lowing figures:
Colonel Robert T.. Peeler, showing %
per cent. stronger play; Egbert A.
Brown, 10 per cent; DR.. George M.
Dixon, 70 per cent; John w. Barrett,
80 per cent; Mrs. John w. Barrett, lO
per cent; James Morris, ID per cent;
Presley B. Johnson, so per cent; DR..
W. w. Macfarlane, 80 per cent. A. S.
Wallin, 80 per cent; Rev. Charles L..
Neil, showing 10 per cent. weaker play.
DR.. G.. L. Murry, a new member, has
improved within one month 30 per cent.
The weaker play of Rev. Charles L..
Neil is attributed to lack of practice,
unable as he is, by reason of his other
absorbing duties, to devote much time
to the royal game. Mrs. j. w. Barrett
would have made much better show
ing had it not been for i'll health during
the summer months, and the percentage
of gain for others of the players would
have been much larger If more time
and study could have been given to the
game. Colonel Robert l.. Peeler last
winter was a strong player, hence his
small percentage as shown above.

THEY ARE SAFE.
No Danger Of the Gilt Edges Losing
the Championship.

The Executive Committee Of the Pa
cific Coast Baseball League has given
the protested game played at Santa
Cruz on the 9th between the Gilt Edges
and the Beachcombers to the latter or
ganization, on the ground that the Sac
ramento team violated the rules agreed
on by playing two men who were not
in the State on September 10Th. Both
Jay Hughes and Bobby McHale were
in the game.
With that game gone the locals still
have strong lead, but the games
played here on the 23d and 30th of
October-the first by the San Fran
ciscos and the home people and the sec
ond by the San Francisco Athletics and
the Gilts-have both been protested, 1t
being urged that the locals ran in in
eligible players at both games.
The Executive Committee will hold
another session on Monday evening.
when the matter will be disposed of.
Even should both games be thrown
away from Sacramento, the heavy To-
calls, though brought to the level of
the Oakland, Santa Cruz and Athletics,
Will win out, as nothing has yet been
found to play ball with them when
they get down to business.
