The Athletic club claims to be the
amateur champions of Northern Cali
fornia, and has justly earned the title
by defeating all the crack clubs north
of Sacramento. 1t has lost but one
game during the season, an unusual
record for an amateur club. Its bat
terry will be Shields and Mott. Shields
has few superiors as a pitcher and is
the hero of many a hard-fought battle.
Pope at first base, George Newbert at
second, w. Newbert at third and
Treichler at short, comprise an infield
of which the Athletics are justly
proud. 1t is a veritable stone wall
that rarely goes to pieces.
The game is for a wager of $50 a

this vicinity.
Arrangements have been made where

At 10 a. m. the eighteenth anniver-

The attendance filed the auditorium.
The convention includes $50 churches,

the convention. read the annual re-
port. The convention then took the
form of an open parliament for the dis
cussion of recommendations in the re-
port. The interest centered in plans
to push the work at Berkeley and Palo
Alto, our California university centers.
At the latter a suitable church building
is to be erected and pastor secured.
At 2:30 p. m. the conference reas
sembled and ten new men were intro
duced to the convention Then came
the subject of How Shall We Care for
the Weak Country Churches?" The
five-minute addresses created great in
terest. Following this came a stirring
address by Rev. E. A. Woods, D. D.,
of San Francisco, on Enthusiasm,
and the convention adjourned to at
tend a reception given by the ladies
in the hotel parlors, a splendid time So
cially.
The evening session opened with song
followed by appointment of commit
tees, but the chief interest of the even
ing was a strong and somewhat rad
ical sermon by Rev. A. M. Petty of
Dixon on 1.-The Shepherdless Multi
tudes." The sermon declared the need
of the masses to be need of shepherds
for the country churches, plain, partly
educated but true shepherds.
The meetings are to continue over
Sunday and are growing in interest
and numbers. The hotel is taxed for
space and every cottage is occupied.

Famous Fire Horse Met with n Fatal
Accident This Morning.
"Old King" the oldest horse in the
Houston fire department, both as to age
and length of service, met with an accident
this morning which will put an end to
his career OF usefulness. He was one of
the team which was pulling hose wagon
No. l in answer to an alarm from box Al
shortly before / o'clock. Just before
Funk's store was reached he stumbled and
fell and an investigation developed the
fact that his right hind leg was broken
just above the hook. An effort Will be
made TO save his life, but there Is little
doubt that the nature of his injuries Will
uecessitate his being shot. He was about
20 years old and had been member OF the
equine forces of the fire department for
something over sixteen years. The iiremen
are unable TO account for the accident.
The alarm to which the department was
responding when the accident occurred was
for fire in the small frame house at No
1907 Gushing street, owned by w. FARRELL
and occupied by Mrs. s. Young. The
building was outside of the water limits
and was totally destroyed, together with
most of its contents.
