gathered on the baseball lot across the
bay yesterday afternoon the rain was
coming down good and strong. A
peace conference was quickly arranged
by Captains Van Haltren and McCredie
and they decided to give the boys a
rest for the day 1t would have been
possible to play the game, but the
field was very mushy and the captains
did not want to take any chances of
injuring their men.
The Oakland fans seem to be loyal
to their team in sunshine or in rain.
Though the weather looked gloomy and
rain threatened to come down fast
about the noon hour, there was quite
a collection of the transbay fans at the
park when the appointed hour rolled
around. They were strong for a ball
game, but 1t was declared off and they
went away sore.

league.
Rube Gaddy. the former Seal southpaw, has
become power in the bushes. He went to

Ed Pinnance. the Indian pitcher, took Los
