MOSKIMANRETURNS
AFTER A GOOD
SEASON.

DR.. William B. Moskiman, the ever
ponuIar pitcher who for years was the
mainstay Of the Oakland club, returned
from Jersey City yesterday morning.
The Doc had a very 5uccessful season
in the Eastern league. HIS team nm
ished next to Buffalo, the pennant WIN
ming aggregation, and 1T was due In
measure to his twirling that the nine
made such a good run
my eyes went back on me for the
first time in my life" said Moskiman,
"and for this reason / did not hit the
ball quite as hard as / might. ! pitched
all the time and had very successful
season. The management treated me
in princely fashion. and taking it all in
all the season will be a pleasant mem
ory for long time to come
when playing time expired in the
Eastern League I reported to Pittsburg,
as I was instructed to do But as the
season is about over in the National
League and the Pirates are out of the
race for first place, Manager Clarke al
lowed me to go home.
II was drafted by Pittsburg last sea-
son and will report back to the Smoky
City next spring. Manager Clarke had
assured me that will be one of the
regular pitchers"
Rube vickers is averse to the term
"erratic' which is so often used in
connection with his name in the press
reports. The big Seattle pitcher points
out with pride that he has been one of
the most successful slabsters in the
league this season, and therefore is far
from being an erratic one.
This name is really an unjust one
for the rube, but it preceded him here
from Cincinnati and has stuck to him
ever since. Whenever a ball player is
christened the nickname is apt to re-
main, and therefore Vickers is bur-
dened with title that really does not
suit him.
Beginning next Tuesday afternoon
the games at Idora Park will be called
promptly at o'clock instead of $3.50.
The days are beginning to grow short

NEARING THE END
Of LONG RIDE.

When Virgil @. Bogue and W. J..
Shotwell, both of the Western Pacific,
reach the town of Oroville. as they are
expected to do some time during the
week, they will be able to lay claim to
the reputation of being among the
champion long-distance riders of the
country.
They arrived In the town Of Loyal
ton last Monday and their appear
ance did not impress the residents Of
that mountain hamlet. Indeed, 1t re-
quired all the persuasive eloquence Of
Shotwell to make the landlord of the
inn they desired to sleep in believe
that they were high officials of the
Western Pacific. .
The landlord shook his head and
muttered that he was from Missouri .
Fortunately for the distinguished
riders a contractor happened TO notice
them and told the hotel man that one
was the chief engineer OF the West
ern Pacific and the other was a direc-
tor.
Then there was fried chicken.
Virgil G. Bogue and w. ]. Shotwell
have been taking a ride over the route
of the Western Pacific so as TO thor
oughly familiarize themselves with the
grade and with the country through
which the line will pass.
They started on horseback about
one month ago from Salt Lake City and
are now somewhere between Loyalton
and Oroville. At that point they will
drop their faithful animals and take to
the train. 1t is whispered that Shot
well was desirous of riding his steed
into the city, but Bogue demurred and
said that he thought his presence was
urgently needed at the office
They are said to have encountered
numerous dangers and Shotwell may
perpetrate a book about the trip.
1t is estimated that the daring rail-
road men have ridden in the neigh
borhood of $50 miles and the trip has
made them stouter and stronger.
Both gentlemen have acquired much
valuable knowledge regarding the
country and already Shotwell has de-
clared that it is to be the scenic line
to the East.
William Hood is not prepared off,
hand to deny the allegation.

. AND WHITNEY TO

d. NEW YORK, Oct 3.-An automobile
race that Will rival IN interest the
great Vanderbilt Cup contest will prob
ably take place at daylight Friday
merning over the Vanderbilt Cup
course beween William K Vanderbilt
Jr. and Harry Payne Whitney.
Harry Payne Whitney although not
represented by a car In the big race,
has been an interested spectator OF
the morning practice work, and has
rivaled the work Of the foreign drivers
by making fast time in his 1O0-horse-
power racing machine. W. K Wander
bilt Jr. Joked him about his efforts
Vanderbilt laughingly said he could
beat Whitney. Whitney retorted half
seriously that he could beat Vanderbilt
ia any car the latter selected This led
Vanderbilt to challenge Whitney, and
as a result, the race is said to have
been agreed upon.

Many special trips have been made
out into the country by individual own
ers the last week. J. A. Marsh, the
president of the Mobile Carriage Com
pany, has just returned from a run to
Nevada City. In Speaking of the run,
he said yesterday:
THE trip to Nevada City was one of
the most enjoyable that I have ever
taken. The roads are in splendid con-
dition and did not have the slightest
trouble the whole way. The entire
trip is a continuous panorama. Leav-
ing San Francisco at sea level we went
up through the Sacramento Valley, with
all its beauty, and then took to the
mountains, with their rugged scenery.
The mountain roads are ideal and there
was never a time that there was not
plenty of room to pass all vehicles.
The grades were a little steep at times,
but we did not experience any trouble.
I ran the great Pierce-Arrow, that had
gone over 1900 miles before / put it
In the races at Del Monte. and for the
trip there were no special preparations.
This would be an ideal course for an
endurance run of the Automobile Club
of California. 1t can be made in be-
tween twelve and fifteen hours. It
would be a real test of the cars and
could easily be made by the frst-class
vehicles. Del Monte is a delightful
place to go to, but we have been there
so much that change would be well
coined. There are plenty of good ac-
commodations at the mountain town
and the run would be one that would
surely please all who ever made it."
Matt Harris, one of the Dipsea In
dians, who has taken to the automo-
bile, having given UP the trail for the
time being, has just returned from a
trip to Cloverda1e. He is most en-
thusiastic over the roads up in that
direction. The trip was one of the best
he has taken this summer. The weather
was perfect and there was hardly any
dust the whole distance.

THEY SUE CARNEGIE.
Mrs. Burden and Her Father AHege
Violation Of a Contract.

New York, Feb 2S-Mrs Florence
Adele Burden and her father, William
D. Sloane. have begun an action in
the supreme court to enjoin Andrew
Carnegie and his real estate broker
from selling to Lloyd S. Bryce the plot
adjoining Mrs. Burdens residence with
a frontage OF Ninety-hrst street, near
Fifth avenue
The complaint, filed with a lis pendens
in the county clerks office, recites that
five years ago, when Carnegie acquired
the corner of Ninety-first street and
Fifth avenue, with a frontage on the
avenue, he opened negotiations with
Mr.. Sloane, who owned the adjoining
plot on the street side, for the purchase
of a few feet more of that frontage.
An agreement was then arrived at,
| the complaint relates, by which MI.
Sloane sold the desired feet to Mr. Car
negie on Mr.. Carnegie's agreement to
do so, only to a single purchaser, who
would covenant to erect a handsome
private residence thereon.
In consideration of this Mrs. Burden
agreed to erect on the adjoining street
property, conveyed to her by her father,
a fine private residence as her own,
with western elevation of limestone.
A few days ago Mrs. Burden alleges
she learned that Mr.. Carnegie's broker
had contracted to sell the plot adjoining
her home on the Fifth avenue side to
LLOYD S. Bryce and that the latter had
practically completed arrangements for
the erection on it OF a house. a wall of
which Will be right up against an ele-
walton for the Burden house. The
building OF such house, it is said,
would not only depreciate the value of
the Burden property by the obstruction
Of the view on that side, but would
necessitate the removal of a considera-
ble portion of the elevation. such a
sale Mrs. Burden complains, is in di-
rect rect Violation of the agreement made
1--WE years ago and will deprive her
property of the light, air and access to
which it is entitled by the covenant 20, OF
the deed of sale TO Mr.. Carnegie. She
therefore asks the court to enjoln the
ale nermanently.
