NEW RUBBER TIRES.
Look Out for the Patrol Wagon
When the Gong Rings.

The city now has one of the most
modern and complete patrol wagons in
the United States.
Rubber tires have been put on it,
and it runs like a top. In fact, it runs
so easily that the drivers are in fear
that accidents will occur in spite of their
precautions, as the brakes cannot be
applied to the wheels as when they
had steel tires and the wagon cannot
therefore be SO easily stopped and con-
trolled Then, too, the new tires being
noiseless, people will have to use their
eyes, as they cannot hear the wagon
until it is close on them. To lesson
the danger of running over pedestrians
the gong will be sounded twice in the
middle of each block, and again just
before reaching the crossings, giving
fair warning to those who will pay at
tentiOn to it

BASEBALL GAME TO-DAY.
SACRAMENTO AND RELIANCE
WILL CONTEST.
Gilt Edges and Oaklands Will Line
Up at Snowflake Park
Tomorrow.

That there will be a great crowd ana
good game of ball at Oak Park this
afternoon seems to be an established
fact, and when the strong Sacramentos
get up against the Oakland Reliance ag-
gregation they will have their work cut
out for them
The Oakland lineup shows string
OF ball-tossers who die hard, and with
Tip ONeill on the coaching line there
will be a warm time. 1t is said that
| Tip can kick" with all his old-tlme
vigor, and anything in that line not reg
istered to-day will be an oversight.
| Russell, the clever port-side pitcher,
Will be in the pen for the Reliance men,
and his deceptive curves will keep the
local men guessing. He is considered TO
be in the front rank of left-handed
pitchers, and in a recent game held the
! Sacramentos down to three widely scat
/ tered hits-all singles-and succeeded IN
shutting them out after close and ex-
citing contest.
! Peters, the blonde pretzel-eater, will
| be Russell's mate, and he is this sea-
son playing the game Of his life. Fred
Lange, the old Lacquer, will guard the
third corner for the Reliance boys, While
Tip O'Neill-old high-roller Tip-will
cavort about second, and Jack Dono-
van, one Of the best base stealers in the
State, will be stationed at the initial bag.
| Shea, Dean and hard-hitting Lou
Hardie will play the out-fields.
For the locals McHale-called by his
friends, Bobby, the Great and Hank
Reitz will probably play their last game
prior to their departure for their East
ern triumphs. Baseball as played by
these grand old men" is revelation
to the local public, and is a treat not to
be lightly overlooked.
Caverly, locally known as Home
Run Willie" will guard the initial and
swipe out few of his famous Ions
drives, and Ridley will look after
grounders in the short field. Will New
bert will show the young fellows how
third base should be played, and Kid
Hoagland, who had a finger severely in
jured in practice before last Sunday
game, and quiet Dave Edwards will
gallop about the outer pastures.
| Jimmy Sullivan, who made an excel
lent impression in last Sundays game,
will do the back-stop work and either
Ed Pitt or Overmyer will keep the Oak
land heavy sluggers guessing.
The diamond has been still further
improved during the week and is now in
splendid condition..
Seven thousand tickets have been dis
tributed among the school children and
embryo ball-tossers, and from present

TRIED TO ESCAPE.
A Folsom Convict Probably Fatally
Shot by Guard Luttre1l.

August Britten was shot yesterday
morning at the Folsom State Prison
while trying to escape. This was his
second. attempt, and will probably be
his last, as he is likely to die from the
effects of the wounds received.
Britten tried to sneak across the post
OF Guard Luttrell and on being ordered
to halt started off on a run. The guard
then fired upon him with his shotgun,
and lodged six buckshot in his body.
One bullet penetrated the left side and
lodged in the kidney. This wound will
probably prove fatal.
Britten was sentenced from Fresno
last September to serve ten years for
burglary. He had already served one
term in San Quentin.
