neatly prepared account of the latest
game from the pen of the secretary of
the league, whose name and prison
number are duly affixed. These oficial
reports make singNarly interesting
reading, and Warden HoyIe takes a
pardonabIe pride In showing them to
interested visitors. Here is a trans
ogiption of one of them:
"The Oakland-S Sacramento game of
the league series was the best of the
season. Sacramento's ironclad infield,
ably supporting a greatly weakened
pitcher. had considerable to do in win

the confidence Of youth as he dug his
toe into the ground preparatory to de-
livering the ball. And he could pitch
too. The heavy hitter of the Colored
Giants ignominiously struck out and
retired to the shade to explain to his
dusky brethren how it all happened,
while SNOWFALL" came to bat.
SNOWFALL" the Black Wonder
Snowfall" is a celebrity in the IS.
Q. League" He is the perpetrator of
teammates combined. Not once during
the entire game did Snowfall" land a
base hit; but only once, on the other
hand, did he strike out. His method
is to induce the opposing pitcher to
let him have a base on balls.
The approach of SNOWFALL" to
the home plate seems to strike a
sort of terror into the members of
the San Francisco team. He is one
of the blackest blacks they ever
looked upon, and invariably has the
crowd with him. You can't help laugh
dates good nature. His laugh is deep
and resonant and his smile all embrac-
ing. and he quits laughing only to
smile, and quits smiling only to laugh.
Hey there, kid" he shouts to the
San Francisco pitcher, cavorting about
the plate in unmeaning ecstacy. Maybe
you don't know what1l happen to that
there ball IL you only put it oveh the
plate once"
That makes the pitcher laugh
''Snowballs" enunciation would be
more than enough to make Nestor
ball one" whereupon Snowfall"
executes a fantastic two step and flaps
his arms deliriously. Wow" he re-
marks as the pitchers arm goes back,
and the pitcher goes to pieces and the
ball flies wide of the plate. Then, in
order to get rid of SNOWFALL" and re-
sumo the rigor of the game the San
Francisco twirler throws two wild
balls in quick succession and Snow
ball" cakewalks down to first.

"snowball' is off for second. He is a
poor sprinter, but he always makes his
base. "Oh, Abier' he shrieks at the

Judge Murphy granted a temporary
injunction restraining the Murphy es-

The action OF the restaurant pro-

as a surprise. as II was confidently ex-

make the first move.
The action Wednesday morning was
taken because OF an alleged threat
