BARNEY JOY HIT HARD.
SAN FRANCISCO, October 31.-Bar-
ney JOY was roughly received again by
the Commuters yesterday afternoon at
the Valencia street lot None of the
Oaks had the slightest bit Of respect
for anything that the big Kanaka hurl-
ed at him. They clouted the sphere to
remote corners of the lot, pranced
around the bases like a flock of Bak-
ersfield jackrabbits and took advantage
Of every error the Seals were kind
enough to make. Taking it all in all,
it was a grand day for Oakland and a
blue one for San Francisco.
Up to the sixth inning the Seals had
it on the enemy, to l. They were
confident that the rest would be easy,
but for some reason they forgot that
/ it takes but one spasm to break up any
old kind of ball game, And it can
/ be done much more easily when sky
rover like Barney is doing the bend
/ ing for a team that is as erratic as the
/ Seals often are.

The football game tomorrow after
noon between the Rams and the Puma
hous should attract a good crowd, as
both teams are in the best possible
condition and will be ready for the
/ game of their lives. The teams are
very evenly matched although some of
the wise ones figure out the Puns to
/ win. The average weight of the teams
are about the same, but the Puns seem
/ to have little faster team than their
rivals The game will be played at
Punahou at three o'clock, and the
lovers Of the game should be on hand
to cheer their favorites on to victory.
Coach Reed of the Puns has done a
good deal of hard work to get his
team in shape, and from the kick on,
until time isc called in the second half
the players will be seen at their best.
The greatest interest prevails among
the yachtsmen about the outcome of
| the race on Sunday for the Cooper Cup
The owners of the second class yachts
are doing every thing to get their res
pective boats in the best possible con-
dition for the race, and the chances are
very good for some surprises. The
new yacht Defiance owned by Schaefer
| seems to be the favorite in the race
although the other owners are just as
confident as to the result. The race
will be over the new course, and if the
wind is fresh should be finished in
good time. The chances are that the
Skip and the Princess will not be on
hands for the start, although the own
! ers are doing the best to get them in
readiness. A good many dinners have
been wagered on the result of the race,
and the owners will have something
to look forward to.

One of the best practices that have
been held yet by the All Hawaii base
ball team, vase held yesterday after
noon at the league grounds and was
attended by all the team. The boys
went through their work with the
greatest alacrity, and the improvement
among them is wonderful. The team
will play their first exhibition game on
the II with a Picked team from the
Riverside League, and it should be
very good test of their ability to play.
Starting on Monday the team will
practice nightly and the last touches
will be given the team in preparation
on the opening game with the coast
team on the %. The players have
done good work in practise, and the
team are now satisfied that they will
be able to give the Fisher team a good
hard fight for the honors.
