Mamie Pleasant won the open stake at
Ingleside yesterday and her full sister,
st. Helen, was runner-up. Both bitches
are owned by Connell Bros. and they
were certainly entitled to the stake for
the fine condition in which they sent
their entries to the slips. The coursing
throughout the day was good and the
betting lively. The hottest thing handed
to the .'pikers' all day was at the closing
part of the programme, when St. Oran
met Jessamy in bye and won on the
short end at odds Of five to one. Jessamy
delayed the sport as usual after the course
by refusing to be caught by her owner
If she cannot be broken of her fits of the
sulks heI entry should be refused by the
field stewards, as her performance of yes
terday was certainly an imposition on the
spectators. The results of the day were
as follows:

MORNING GAME.
Oakland 9, Santa Cruz 4

Oakland won the morning game by hit
ting both Andrews and Borchers for
every kind of bagger known to the game
In the second inning, with AndreYs in the
box for the Lobsters, Moskiman and
Harde batted the ball over the fence for
home runs and four tallies resulted. Santa
Cruz did something in the hitting line also,
nine hits being their portion. Oakland
registered thirteen of them and that
is what won the game.
Each team scored run in the
first inning. Babbitt made first on
hit to Hutchinson. scoring on
Drennans double. For Oakland, Ham
mond hit safely to, short, stole
second and went to third on an error of
Mccarthy, scoring on Dunleavys hit
The second inning brought Oakland four
runs, two being homers. Two runs were
added in the third and two in the eighth
Santa Cruz inning was the sixth. Dren-
nan reached first on a low throw by
schmeer; Clark hit to Hutchinson and
brennan was caught at second. Streib
hit safely, but a hot one by Dalrymple
was stopped by Lange and Clark was out
Then came Morrow, who swatted the ball
for a two bagger, scoring Streib and
Dalrympe The score is:

Oakland q. Santa Cruz 3.

Ten innings were necessary to decide
the game yesterday afternoon between the
Dudes and Lobsters, and for the second
time in single day the Dudes consumed
the erustaceans in every variety Oh
preparation The game developed new
twirler, Babbitt, perhaps the best santa
Cruz has within it's ranks. In the thlrd
inning he replaced Whelan and not a
hit was made off his delivery. This con-
joined with the fact that he pitched SIX
innings of the morning game in Oakland IS
a remarkable record.
At the outset of the game 1t looked IKE
a genuine walk over the entire earth LOT
the fancy dressers from across the pay.
Hutchinson logged TO the first bag ana
was presented with second on a Wlld
throw. A soft gentle bunt by Hammond
gave Hutchinson another base and him
self a safe resting at first. Then Mr..
Donovan placed the ball in DevereauX
hands and the latter threw home to end
the existence of Hutchinson, but the pail
struck Hutch in the back ana ne was
safe on the rubber. All TINS tine ham am
mond kept a-moving round the bags ana
scored, followed across the plate soon
after by Donovan, who made the pest OF
DunleaVy's single. These three runs were
all Oakland had marked against ITS name
on the score board until the tenth inning.
In the fourth inning Moskiman was pre-.
sented with a large and bushy punch OF

sen-ation, the Oakland fielder was not
himself, all his hits being sent TOWARD ara
heaven, where his head rested tor the
nonce. The bunch acted as a Lobster
mascot for brennan when he stepped TO
the bat in the fourth and drove the ball
to Schmeer, who threw over first and
into the crowd. The crowd clung to the
ball and brennan rounded the bases. The
fifth inning brought two runs to Santa
Cruz Dalrymple went to first on a throw
of Lange's over Hutchs reach and
two base hit by Morrow sent him to
third. Andrews bunted and both Dali
rymple and Morrow scored.
With three runs apiece the game ad-
vanced to the usual limit without a sGor,,
ing by either side. Then came wicked
error. that gave Oakland the game.
Hutchinson went to first on walk, was
forced to second on Hammond's sacrifice
and scored on a jpggle Of Mccarthy,
who did not field a hot one that HardIe
sent into his hands. The game ended here
with the winners at the bat, but one man
having perished. The score is:

The reserve stake provided sport in
keeping with that shown by the dogs in
the champion class. The McInerney rep
resentatives, Regina r and Johnny II,
worked their way into the final and di-
vided first and second money. Lavender
again covered herself with glory and the
"Hoot Mon" admirers were in ecstacy
over her performances. She beat McKin-
ley Go, Sara 6-3. Beacon 14-9, and was
finally defeated by Regina by score of
5-11, which shows that in the language

Three applications were made, old

He left a will dated Oct, 2Sth

Wasn't they right in protecting
