LOCAL LEAGUE GAME.

hOCAh ILA1O IAN II.
The Athletic Baseball Club won an
easy victory over the Railroad Shop
nine in a regular league game yester-
day morning at Snowflake Park, by a
score of % to g. The Athletes were
in fine condition and put up excel
lent ball, making but one error in the
entire game, and that was a hard
chance.
Wiseman covered his garden in his
usual style, and "Shanahan" Harmon
in center and Ed Pope in right late
up" everything that came their way.
Wiseman and Harmon had several
chances and difficult ones.
August york, formerly catcher for
the COlumbias, and now first baseman
for the Athletes, played his position in
a faultleSs manner. He made one
grand stand left-hand catch of a
thrown ball high over his head.
Billy JohnsOn's throwing was a fea-
ture. Neither did he nor little George
Newbert allow man to steal second.
Billy kept his opponents close to their
bases. Shields led in batting for the
Athletes, and four times did the Rail-
road boys have to change their pitchers
first Trefry, then McMannus. then
Durr and last Hilbert
The Railroad boys state that they
are out of practice. but promise to play
better ball hereafter. They are now
trying to get Pitt for the Athletes to
knock out of the box.
SACRAMENTOS AT STOCKTON.
The Sacramentos went to Stockton
yesterday and taught the Slough City
boys a few tricks in baseball
McHale. Reitz and Caverly made
lightning triple play amid a breath
less silence in fact not a single good
play of the many made by the Sacra-
mento boys was applauded With two
men on bases, high fly was batted to
McHale who made a feint to catch the
ball. but instead scooped it and quick
ly passed the ball to Reitz who put
the man on second out then he touched
the second bag, retiring the man at
first and then threw to Caverly retiring
the batter.
Feige. Stockton's phenomenon. was
an easy mark for the locals who tried
him out for seventeen hits Pitt
pitched a steady, effective game and
was well supported. Newbert. at third.
carried off the individual honors, by
gathering in a high foul fly, one hand
ed. after a long run, a catch similar to
one he made on the local diamond last
season Following is the score:

THEY CALLED IT BASEBALL,
BUT IF SO, 1T WAS THE OAK.
LAND QUALITY.
Sacramento's Gilt Edge Players Up
Against a Lot of Kinder
gartners.

A yellower effort at baseball has not
been seen here since the Boston
Boomer Girl Aggregation waddled
around the bags, than that offered by
the Oaklands of the Pacific State
League yesterday. A dozen pickup
teams in this city could give them cards
and spades and win out easily
Probably LOO or 200 persons sat
the essence of misery through several
innings, and then many absconded, and
the cranks who were not present played
in luck.
The Oaklanders did not know the
game, and many Disguised enthusiasts
present were willing to make affidavit
that they could not distinguish between
| a baseball and a pumpkin. In a
game between that same aggregation
of alleged Oakland players and the
Young Cherub Teas OF this city tall
of the members of the latter club being
under II years of age) the betting
would be dollars to doughnuts with the
Cherubs as faVoriteS
The score was % to ,, and even the
most inveterate gambler who saw the
slaughter would have been unwilling
to venture a white chip on what it
would have been had the Gilt Edges
let out a link and played the game to
a finish. But the locals tired of the fun
before the end, and during the last
three innings ran on anything and
often on nothing, and, mores the pity,
they usually scored.
The Oaklands have gone home. There
let them rest in peace, forever and a
day, or until they are taught that there
is a game called baseball, and that
there are several thousand people in
Sacramento who know the game and
who are willing to render unto Caesar
those things which are his, but who
are equally willing to call sere, yellow,
punk ball by its right name
None of the foregoing applies to the
Gilt Edges, who We're in the best of
practice and ready to play the game
of the season. But the Gifts were
handicapped, and to pile up runs
against the Oakland infantiIes reflected
small honor upon them. They had
nothing to do but touch the ball. Any
thing was good for a base, and even
a cripple might have stolen any num-
Der of bases and come out without
scratch. The batteries were Doyle and
Stanley, Krug and Golinsky and Ham
mond.

LESTER YOUNG'S DEATH.
It Occurred in San Francisco Yes
terday Afternoon.

w. f. Doan yesterday received a tel
egram from San Francisco announcing
the death there of Lester Archer
Young brother of Mrs. Doan, resulting
from injuries received by him on the
22d of last month by falling through
the hatchway of a vessel on which he
was at work as a ship carpenter. Mr.
YOung's skull was fractured by the
fall, and it was almost miraculous that
he survived for nearly a month.
Mr.. Young was a son of the late Mr..
and Mrs. w. H. Young, the latter Of
whom died but a few months ago. He
was reared in Sacramento, and was
widely known here and loved by all his
acquaintance, being a young man of
excellent habits and exceptionally good
character He was % years of age,
and was born in Washington, Yolo
County
The remains were brought to this
city last evening, and the interment
will be in the City Cemetery. For the
last two days Mr.. Young was wholly
out of his mind.

BURGLARS FRIGHTENED Off.
a BOLD RAID ON REV. MIR,
BANKS RESIDENCE.
Had All the Silverware Packed
When Discovered-Then They
Made Their Escape.

While Rev. A. B. Banks, pastor OF
the First Baptist Church, was minister
Ing to his flock last evening burglars
entered his residence at 1411 Twelfth
street, and for some time had every
thing their own way
The thieves cut a screen from one
Of the lower windows, raised the sash
and walked in and at once began a
systematic search for valuables.
They rummaged all the beds, scat
tering the bedclothes about the rooms,
and then turned their attention to the
bureaus the contents of which they
scattered promiscuously, but got moth
ing of value for their pains.
The house breakers next entered the
dining room and heaped all of the doc
tors silver pIate-which is composed of
many pieces and is very valuable
into a sack improvised out of a lap
robe, and left it in the middle of the
floor, pending their departure.
Mr. and Mrs. Boltz occupy the upper
portion of the house, and at the time
of the raid Mrs. Boltz was alone. She
heard the thieves ring the front door
bell, and thinking that somebody had
called to see DR. Banks, and not feel
1t was some time after the ring that
she heard a movement in the Banks
rooms, and even then was not sure
that burglars were in the house.
After the thieves had bundled to-
gether the silverware they evidently
decided to see what the rooms occupied
by Mrs Boltz contained. They ac-
cordingly tried her door, which was
locked.
She asked who was there, and one
of the burglars ordered her to let them
in.
Instead of doing so she ran to the
telephone and rang up the police sta
ton, and the thieves waited 1or Ho
more. They made a rush for safety'
and even forgot to take the sllVerWdre
with them. When Officers Maley, Talpot
and Taylor arrived a little later the
minister's plate was all safe and SOUND
on the diningroom floor. SO lar as
could be learned last night nothing OF
value was stolen. though Mr.. Banks
was not positive, and said he would
not know for certain until thorough
inspection was made or until his wire
who is absent from the city-returns'
About the time the burglars were en-
tering the house a call for the police
came in from another place in the
neighborhood. and Mrs. -BOltZ says the
patrol wagon passed the house while
the burglars were inside.
The burglars evidently supposed
there was nobody at home until they
encountered Mrs. Boltz, and then took
it for granted that she was alone, ana
became very bold.
