way. and then beat them out in one
of the most exciting sprints ever wit
messed on any track. When the acci-
dent occurred that spoiled the final heat
Penry was forging to the front
Moeller was also badly hurt in the big
spill. His chief injury was to mis- left
side, and it was thought that one or
more ribs were injured and perhaps
broken. The others escaped with slight
bruises.
The next EVENT. was the race between
Ivan Lawson and Oscar Julius. in
which the former rode a half mile
awheel against the latter's quarter of a
mile on foot. 1t was a. very close race,
but the wheelman won by about six
feet in 1:05. Their next heat was at
a quarter of a mile and one-eighth, re-
spectively. In this Julius won by about
fifty yards. The time. was % seconds.
Next on the program was the ten
mile race between Jake Hirsch of the
Capital City Wheelmen and C. C.
Barnes of the Terminal City Wheelmen
of Stockton But there was hitch in
the proceedings, and for a while it look
ed as if the chief event of the day was
off
The Hirsch- Barnes race was good
one, and "Jakey won it handily by his
sprinting at the end of the route. He
allowed Barnes to lead at the finish Of
each mile except the last: Barnes had
plenty of pacemakers and kept close on
them. This, just suited Hirsch, for to
beat him an opponent must run away
from him. No amateur that cannot
shake Hirsch off can hope to beat him,
for the Sacramentan always has some
thing in reserve for tha windup.
The first mile was made in 2:36, Sec
ond in 2:31 3-5, third in 2:25 4-5,
fourth in 2:26 1-5, fifth in 2:33 2-5,
sixth in 2:4S, seventh in 2:35 4-5,
eighth in 2:44, ninth in 2:56 %, tenth
in 2:4S. Average time per mile,
2:3S %: time for the ten miles,
1924 %. Anthony paced the first
mile, Rodgers the second, Eldred the
third, McNess the fourth, Patterson the
fifth, Anthony the sixth. Rodgers the
seventh Eldred the eighth, Patterson
the ninth and McNess the tenth.
The club members and friends of
Hirsch We're wild with joy over his vic
tory. They took Jake from his wheel
and carried him to the dressing groom,
while the big crowd yelled with de-
light.
Not much can be said of the race by
John Lawson against horses for five
miles. The horses were a scrubby lot
of mustangs. and there was no order to
the race. 1t was a laughable affair,
however, and that was just what the
crowd wanted, for the long delays ard
disappoirtments had begun to put the
spectators in an ugly mood

GAME All. .ROCKLIN.

The Phoenix team of Sacramento de-
feated the Rocklins at the latter place
yesterday by a score of 10 to IL. The
game was full of hits and errors. THE
len, catcher for Rocklin, was unable to
hold Beckwiths delivery, and the whole
nine went to pieces in the fifth inning,
allowing Phoenix to score eight runs.
Thomma, the regular catcher, who
mas badly sprained hand, pluckily
took his place behind the bat in the
sixth inning, and caught an errorless
game, Phoenix making but two runs the
balance of the game, while Roclllin
piled up seven runs.
McCaffrey, catcher for the Phoenix
team, was struck on the head by a
pitched ball in the third and had to be
carried off the field but it is thought
ne IS not seriously hurt.

follows:
The cotton report for the month Of

intentions Of planters regarding the
acreage to be planted, aud the
estimates being liable to modification
during May, they should be regarded
merely as a general indication of the
strength Of the tendency toward an
enlargement or reduction of acreage.
"In every ooston.growiog State the
indications on the first instant pointed
to reduced acreage with correspond
