The First Baseman From Texas
Shows Up.


Mike O'Connor, the big first baseman
from the defunct Texas League, who
has been signed by the Sacramentos
to guard the initial cushion, arrived
in this city last night. He will play
with the locals to-day and tomorrow
in the Oakland series.
"A few words concerning the mighty
O'Connor will not be out of place at
this time in order that the fans may
know exactly what to expect OF the
new man. In the first place he is an
exceedingly aggressive player, some
thing that the locals have long been
in need of. He is a player who will
not stand to get the worst of any pro-
position, and he will kick loud and
long for what he terms "an even
break
big Mike only kicks when he has
kick coming, however, and woe to
the umpire who makes wrong decis-
ions-his life will be made miserable
He is a great man to 'jolly up team,
and if he sees that pitcher is getting
the least bit tired or is upon the verge
Of going ballooning," he will be the
first to go to his assistance and encour-
age him. He is a great field general
and knows the game from "soup to
nuts" and is capable of infusing his
knowledge into the other members of
the team. A great hitter, fielder and
base runner is Michael O'Connor, and
the Fans should give him rousing
reception on his first appearance in this
city. Press reports have it that he was
the prince Of first basemen in the Texas
League ~

JEFFRIEs TONIGHT.
The Champion to Box in the Old
Pavilion.


James j. Jeffries, the greatest of pu-
gilists diving or dead), will appear to-
night in this city at the hall of the
Sacramento Athletic Club and give the
public an idea of what he can do in
the roped arena.
Jeff" will spar four rounds with his
big brother, and those who have seen
them at the game say they are not
very brotherly at such times The
last round will be a fac-simile OF that
in which the California lad laid out
the redoubtable Fitzsimmons in the
memorable battle at Coney Island.
There will be several preliminaries
between good boxers, one Of them
genuine battle, the principals in which
will be Joe Cotton, the big colored pu-
gilist of Los Angeles, and Mike Wheel
Than of Grass Valley, who aspires to
high honors in the fistic world.
Regarding Wheeiihan, Ed Johnson of
the Sacramento Athletic Club requests
the Record Union to correct the
statement published in another jour-
-naD that he once fought draw with
the Nevada man. Theodore Van Bus
kirk once fought a man of that name,
but Johnson did not. In the latter's
two professional fights his adversaries
were Joe Reay and Tom Johnson.
The admission to to-night's battles
will be but fifty cents which applies to
club members as we'll as the public.
with an equal sum for reserved seats.

A LIVE EEL.
It Was Forced Through . Small
Hose Yesterday.


If any person has the curiosity to
know what sort Of creatures inhabit
the water-pipes of the city he should
call on T. Marsh, porter of the Airing
ton saloon, at Sixth and K streets, and
take look at the six-inch conger eel
that he took alive from the water
faucet yesterday morning.
Marsh was using a hose about q
o'clock a. M, when the eel shot out.
wriggling like a snake Only few
minutes before that a man with an
overnight thirst came along and was
permitted to put the hose to his mouth
and take good long drink. Had he
waited a little until the eel arrived.
there would have been hot time in his
stomach thesrest of the day, and per-
haps for an indefinite period.
Eels are all right in their place, which,
may be either the river or the frying
pan, but they are not good when swai-
lowed alive, nor do they improve the
quality of the water when they are
forced into faucet, killed and left
there.
Many children are in the habit OF
drinking from garden hose or open
faucets, and parents should impress on
them the danger of so doing. There
are large quantities of eels in the river,
and the young are of course easily
drawn into the supply pipes 1t is not
unusual for house faucets to become
clogged with young eels and other
varieties of fishes. But they are not
the most Objectionable obstructions
taken from faucets.
