AMATEUR BASEBALL.
Westerns Beat Atkinsons, F1orins
Down the Violets.


A very close and exciting game of ball
was played yesterday at Fourteenth
and R streets between the Violets OF
this city and the F'lorin team. The
country lads won by a score of E to 8
Both Thomas and Nebis pitched good
ball, the former being almost invincible
The umpiring of Baker was superb.
In the second inning the crowd
swarmed around the lines in order to
rattle Pitcher Thomas of the Florins
but were forced back to the fence
Hereafter teams will be able to play
without being molested by the crowd
Next Sunday the Florins will visit
the city and cross bats with the crack
Westerns.
The Westerns took fall out of the
Atkinson baseball team yesterday by a
score of Is to 5. This makes eighteen
games won to one defeat for the West
ems during this season.
The features of the game were the
work of Nelson and Bauer at short
and third, respectively, both accepting
several difficult chances. Miller pitch
ed fine ball for the Westerns and re-
ceived excellent support.
The Westerns are out to play any
team in the State whose members are
under the age of is years, either for
money or marbles. Following is the
score of yesterdays game:

DERED BY THUGS.
S. B. wilkes Assaulted on the Yo1o
Bridge-The Thugs Now
In Jail

There came very near being muir
der committed on the Yolo bridge about
half-past IL o'clock last night. AS il
was the victim, an elderly man named
S. B. Wilkes, who halls from San Fran
cisco, lies at the Receiving Hospital
with a broken jaw and minus $780, a
gold watch and eight Of his teeth.
The three men concerned in the affair
are in JAIL They gave the names OF
J. D. Clark, J. j. Lamb and IA. How
ell The latter declares he had moth
ing to do with the robbery, and that
he went with the other two in order to
try and prevent the robbery. He fur
Their says the others offered to divide
the plumber with him, but that he de-
clined any portion of it.
| 1t seems that Wilkes, who is a man
of probably 60 years of age. came from
San Francisco yesterday He got to
drinking, and in his rounds fell in with
the men named in a saloon on Third
street, near J. He was in an almost
helpless condition when he left the sa-
loon, chaperoned by Clark, Lamb and
Howell.
/ The men escorted Wilkes over to the
|
knock him down, rob him and then
start back for the city.
A man who claimed to have witnessed
the assault from a distance notified the
police, and Sergeant Dolan, officers
Higgins and Rible, and Deputy Sheriff
Bailey, the bridge Waterman, soon got
on the trail of the thugs and overlook
the trio at Front and K streets and
arrested them.
| In the meantime, Assistant City
Physician Ogden dressed the wounds
of Wilkes, who had been brought to
the Receiving Hospital. He found a
fracture of the jaw and eight teeth
either knocked out or loOSened.
| Wilkes told the officers that he had
$50 in his pocket when the men took
him from the saloon and a watch with
a gold-filled case, all Of which were
taken from him. Neither the money
nor watch were found on the men ar
rested. Howell had So, and one Of the
others had 81 and a lady's watch, but
there had been plenty Of opportunities
for hiding the plumber on the way from
the scene of the assault.
After the men had been arrested
Watchman Bailey found piece of gas
pipe on the bridge close by where
Wilkes was robbed, and it is supposed
that it was a blow from this that
broke his jaw and laid him low.
Later-Since the above was writer
Howell has admitted to the officers
that the money found on him was 8
portion of that taken from Wilkes, an6
that it was given to him by Clark ano

THE MAORI RACE.
Evangelist Rewei Of New Zealani
Tells Of His People.

Rev Wherahik Rawei, the New Zea-
land Maori evangelist, preached an in
teresting sermon in the rooms of the
Young Mems Christian Association yes
terday afternoon, taking for his text the
parable of the ten virgins. five of whom
were wise and five foolish.
Mr.. Rawei in the course of his re-
marks, touched briefly on the charac-
teristics of the Maori race. They are,
he said, brave, intelligent, kindly and
forgiving, but, owing to violations of
natural and sanitary laws, they are
slowly but surely dying out. There is
only one way to preserve the Maori
race, and he was making that his life
work. He and his wife had for the
last twelve years devoted their time
to organizing and conducting schools
for the native children, at which they
are taught not only the rudiments of
an education, but are given instructions
in cooking, cleanliness and general san
itary matters. 1t was to raise money
to continue this work that he had come
to this country.
On Tuesday and Thursday evenings
Mr.. Rawei will give illustrated lectures
on New Zealand and its people.
