The San Francisco call., 1899-09-24

toms yacht Shamrock sailed one of the
most satisfactory trial spins she has yet
had. There was not much windward
work in it, but with the wind abeam she
covered the distance from Scotland light
ship to a mark off Elberon in an hour
and eight minutes. The reach-back was
made in an hour and twelve minutes,
about twenty-five miles in two hours and
twenty minutes, or at the rate of nearly
twelve miles an hour.
The yacht carried her club topsail
throughout the trial although her lee rail
was often awash. During the first half
of the course 1t took her nearly five min
utes to pass one of the crack schooners
of the fishing feet which met her outside
Casting off the towline near Sandy Hook
at 1926 Captain Hogarth sent the Sham
rock over toward the Long Island shore
and put her through a preliminary spin
for an hour and fifteen minutes while
waiting for the Erin to come out.
AS soon as Designer Fife went aboard
the trial began in earnest. The start was
made from the Scotland lightship at IL 30
The outer mark off Elberon was rounded
at u :5S Then the yacht was put on the
other tack and with sheets broad off to
port she made fast time back to the fin
ish line, crossing 1T at 2:10. The Sham
rocks crew will have a rest tomorrow
and trials will be resumed for three days
Of next week.

Bad Umpiring at the Base

Sacramento 6, Oakland A.

Sacramento won the game in the ninth
inning yesterday afternoon, and Dun

Oakland is responsible for the winning
runs which gave the Senators the game.
The score was of the kind that makes
an interesting contest. At the end of the
sixth both Dudes and Senators were la
beled with brace of runs. The seventh
inning brought them two apiece, and the
eighth was fruitless. Errors on the
Dudes part in the ninth was the cause
Of their losing the match, and all the ex-
plantations which Cal Ewing has been
pouring into the ears of the friends who
had money to scol ch on Oakland cannot
get away from this fact.
Harper twirled for Oakland and Harvey
for the beveled gold-edged men from the
capital. That the game lasted over two
hours was due TO the excruciating slow
ness of Mr.. Harvey of Sacramento. Be
fore he pitched the ball he went through
mental men operations that drove the specta-
tors into spaSmS of indignation.
In the first inning this same Harvey
scored. single gave him first and he
took two bags on a fair hit by O'Connor.

the plate. When Oakland came to bat it
looked as if something fruitful would
happen. A two-bagger by Dunleavy and
"a hit by Schmeer gave the former an
earned run. There was a very rank de-
cision on the next play and Mr.. Long will
be held in disrepute for it. Moskiman hit
to Eagan, who really threw him out at
first, but the Car said safe and Schmeer
scored on the play. The board then read
four runs all.

best of a bad thing by appropriating sec

COLUMBIA'S SAILS.
Mr.. Iselin Declares He Is Satisfied
With Their Fit.

BRISTOL, r. l.. Sept. 23.-To-day was
a busy one for every man aboard the
yacht Columbia Early this morning she
went out for a practice and satl-stretch
ing spin and ran back to her moorings
again at noon. After dinner the sails
were taken ashore to the sail loft and an
other main sail taken out to the yacht.
The crew bent on the sail, which was
hoisted up to its full height. Later the
club topsail and jib topsail We're sent
up for inspection. A number of other
sails were taken ashore in order that
some slight alterations might be made.
About $50 the mainsail was lowered and
covered and the staysail and Jibs set up
in stops
Quite a lot of sails with small spars
were put on the tender st. Michael this
afternoon and the probability. is that the
Columbia will leave here Sunday or Mon
day for New Rochelle. Mr.. Iselin will
go to Newport on the st. Michael to-
morrow and later in the day will continue
on to New Rochelle. The set of the sails
on the Columbia is almost perfect and
Mr.. Iselin is satisfied with them.

Gadder Wins Challenge Cup.
FIELD EVENTS: World Records Beaten.
BASEBALL: Sacramento 6, Oakland 4.
GADDER IS
VICTOR IN
YACHT RACE
Wins the Challenge Trophy
Clever1y for the San Fran
cisco Yacht Club.

After a close and interesting race yes
terday afternoon the yacht Gadder de-
feated the 4ruant by one minute and
fifty-eight seconds corrected time, and
won the Perpetual Challenge Cup for the
San Francisco Yacht Club. The result
of the race surprised everybody, the Win
ners as much as the losers. The winning
boat is certainly not beauty. With her
blackleaded hull and stern like dry
goods box she did not compare favorably
with the trim, graceful lines and spot
lessly white body OF the Truant.
At 1880 p. m. the steamer Caroline
which carried the members of the regatta
committee, the referee, timers and invited
guests, sounded preparatory signal and
at l o'clock the starting whistle was
given. The Truant was lowering about
near the line and crossed it one minute
and fifty-two seconds after the signal.
The Gadder crossed nearly seven minutes
later, at eight minutes and forty-eight
seconds after the whistle. Ex-Commodore
W. n. Mccarthy, who sailed the Calder,
kept closer to the shore than eX-Com-
modore J. w. Pew, who handled the
Truant's helm. The tide was flooding and
the breeze only moderate at the start and
the Gadder seemed rather slow in stays
and not very speedy. The wind kept
treshening and as 1t grew stronger 1t was
seen how closely she pointed and that she
stood up under her canvas quite stitly.
In the run to Blossom Rock buoy the
challenger and defender were practically
even, the former gaining only 3 SECONDS;
At the leeward stakeboat the Gadder had
gained % seconds, and when she rounded
the windward mark for the second time,
9 minutes and 80 seconds later than the
Truant. the hopes of the San Franciscos
rose high AS the Gadder started min
utes and 56 seconds later than the Truant
and received from her a time allowance
of minutes and 46 seconds, the Truant
had to cross the finishing line 10 minutes
and 43 seconds earlier to beat her. When
the Truant crossed the finishing line at
% seconds past 4 o'clock. and the Gadder
was seen running home like scared
dog 1t seemed a sure victory for the
San Franciscos' boat. So it proved. On
the Gadder came and crossed a winner
at minutes and seconds past 4. or
minute and 80 seconds. corrected time,
ahead of the loser. The actual sailing
time of the winner was 3 hours and 10
seconds, and of the loser 2 hours 30 min
utes and 80 seconds; so the race was won
on time allowance.
The times of starting. rounding the
marks and of finishing, with actual and
corrected times, were as follows:

shrimp-Fishers Arrested.

The Fish and Game Commissioners yes
terday received word from Deputy John
Davis that he had arrested five Chinese
fishermen for violating the law in catch
ing small smelt The arrest is really for
the protection of the shrimp of the upper
bay, which the Chinese take in their small
mesh nets by the ton. At every haul they
destroy thousands of the young of all
kinds of fish. The illegal fishers were
found near McNears Landing and taken
to Sausalito, as 1t seems to be impossible
to secure a conviction before the Justice
of the Peace OF, San Rafael. no matter
how conclusive the evidence may be- JUS
