LEAGUES WILL PROBABLY BE CONSOLIDATED Baseball Magnates Trying to Reach an Agreement. California Directors Will Submit a Counter
 Proposition. Nine Innings of Lightning Ball at the Recreation Park
 Grounds.
GAME AT CENTRAL PARK.
Ten Innings Played in Fast Time. Good and Bad Ball in the
 Interior.

The California and Pacific States Baseball leagues will probably be con- solidated. The directors of the former discussed the matter again yesterday and 1t was practically decided to make a counter proposition to the Pacific States people, accepting Eugene F. Bert as President of the new league and consenting to play at Central Park for three weeks until the electric line down Eighth street to Recreation Park is completed and then transfer the To- cal games to those grounds. The pres ent management of the California teams shall continue in control of their respective forces, the new league to consist of the present California League teams, strengthened where needed by the pick of the Pacific States players. Santa Cruz will be dropped and the two San Jose teams consoli- dated.
 The Pacific States people are anxious to have a new name adopted for the league, but this will hardly be cOnced- ed by the others. as they are under the protection of the national agreement, which would be void if the name were changed.
 It is likely that the Pacific Stares League will accept this proposition and the consolidation will likely be effected this week

EXCITEMENT AT FRESNO.
Giants Refuse to Finish the Game When the Score
 Is a Tie.

FRESNO, April 24.-To-days ball game between Fresno and Sacramento was the best exhibition of ball playing seen here this season. In the ninth inning the score stood to 3. but the Sacramentos took exception to the ruling of the umpire and refused to go on with the game. The umpire gave six minutes for the Giants to play, and at the end of that time gave the game to Fresno by a score of to Q. The decision of the umpire was obviously correct. Fresno had one man out and Tawney on first. Thomas knocked a pop fly which was not caught Tawney tried to make second but returned to first. The umpire called the batter out and the runner safe. Tawney was not touched by the ball, hence he was not out.
 Thomas, F'resno'S new pitcher was in fine trim and pitched great game. Pitts for Sacramento also did splendid work in the box. Fresno put up an errorless game, while Sacramento made but one error Snyder made some grandstand running catches, while McHaie for Sac ramento also took in everything in center garden for Sacramento. Moore and Courtney accepted several difficult chances. The score was as follows:

CENTRAL PARK.

For ten innings yesterday San Francisco and Oakland struggled for supremacy at Central Park. Both teams played as if it were the deciding game in the series, and the fair crowd which attended was treated to the really first good game on the grounds this season. Errors were plentiful on both sides, but this was due to the heavy hitting. Both Johnson and Eagan pitched steady ball and were touched up hard and often.
 In the seventh the score stood seven to seven, and for the next two innings neither side could tally. In the tenth Croll dropped Sweeney's fly and the run her took second on Eagan's wild throw to catch him mapping at first, and scored on Goslinsky's high throw to Brockhoff.
 Crou opened for Oakland by singling to left. Eagan ripped out corker to kro- gan. who ran backward and nailed it Johnson to double Croll and was entirely successful. The play created a sensa- ton and won the game for San Fran cisco.
 The following score tells what has been

PLAYED LIKE sCHoOLBoYs
Athletics Sustain Crushing Defeat at the Hands of
 San Jose.

SAN JOSE, April 24.-The ineffective ness of FitZpatricks pitching, together with poor support, caused the downfall of the Athletics of San Francisco to-day. The score was Il to in favor of San Jose. The visitors played like school boys, and at no stage of the contest were in the game. Hanleys sensational one hand catch was the finest ever seen on the local grounds Ed Smith was in- jured early in the game and retired in favor of Phil Knell. The score.

We know but little of their IS crifices
and hardships, but we do know that
they are without parallel in any

New Hampshire Mr.. Gsllinger], Yves

mez's army whom | met there. / rode
over 200 miles with him and stayed
over night one night at hotel where
he was. He was an American, South
ern man, and had lived some eight
years there. He was engaged In most
perilous service. He belonged to a
Havana brigade in that province and
was engaged in carrying reports fro n
the western province to Gomez and
transmitting orders.
All the time | was in the seat with
him in the railroad car thought at any
place he might be taken out and shot.
OF course it would have been according
to the laws OF war if he had been tried
by drumhead court-martial; but in
Cuba they would have dispensed with
that little formality. OF course he was
liable to be shot as a spy because he
was within the Spanish lines. Gen.
eral Lee and all our consuls knew him.
He had been in this confidential ser.
vice for long time.
The statement of this man in regard
to the hardships suffered 1 have no
doubt is absolutely accurate. He told
me that many of the infantry we're en-
tirely naked above the waist, except
for straw hat, and had been sleeping
on the ground all winter without blank
cts and only covering of grass and
twigs.
Either resolution, Mr.. President,
must accomplish the great result, but
that of the majority is but simple JUS
tice to these people who have fought
and suffered and seen their families
starved and subjected to darker wrongs
without weakening in their purpose to
achieve their freedom. And, Mr..
President, what better memorial can
we give the sailors of the Maine than
to see to it promptly that the flag of
their murderers no longer floats over
the water where they went down or
over the soil in which they are buried?
