PRIME P|CKERs DOWN OAKS
DESPITE HENDERs0N'S
GREAT TW|RL|NG
WaIffour's Muf i'm Right Field
Responsible for the Victory
of San Jose

At the present clip the Oaklanders
are likely to slip down peg and I'm
ish in third position If they continue
their gait For the fourth successive
afternoon the Invaders have left the
field with the short end of the score,
and the boys are beginning to wonder
when they will win their next game. At
the conclusion of the nine frames San
Jose had three runs to Oakland's two.
Just an even dozen batsmen went
down before Benny Henderson's curves
in their efforts to find the ball The
big right handler was bending them
over with the usual velocity and the
boys from Pruneville made themselves
look foolish in their vain efforts to
put the bat on the ball. With this
great strikeout record and allowing
only FIVE hits, the game at that went
against Henderson. 1t was outrageous,
and Walthour, who plays right field for
Oakland, was the cause OF 1t all. He
dropped simple fly in the seventh,
and after that the Prune kids put
over three runs.
Logan was on the firing line for the
visitors, and he was steady. Outside
OF the third inning he kept the enemy
guessing. Oakland's lineup was shat
tered one. Witt of Wilmerding played
short for Oakland, and he acquitted
himself creditably. He got away with
all that came his way, as well as get
ting two hits out of three times at the
bat.
In the third Witt started the run
making by getting a single. Logan was
good IN McHale and allowed him to
take first on no action. Sheehan hunted
safely. and the bags were filled. Nea-
lon picked out nice one and scored
Witt and McHale with a hit.
The Prune Pickers got their three
runs in the seventh after two were
down. Happy Smith singled and stole
second. He scored when Walthour
dropped Krueger's easy fly to left.
Reed hit for a double, scoring Kruger.
Lacey picked out a nice one, and Reed
came home on the bingle After the
third frame Logan frightened up and
was never in danger. Score:

ARTIST IN JOKE PAINTS
FALLIERES AS A CANON
Paris Art Society Refuses to
Admit Presidents Portrait

Some of the Paris newspapers are
ENJOYING a little joke at the expense of
President FaIlieres, and the art So
cietv of LIE Mans, which has just
opened an exhibition in the town.
The committee has refused to admit
a stained glass window of ecclesias-
teal design by M. Eehivard, an artist
in painted glass. The. scheme of the
window is NJ. Fallieres wearing a
canon's cope and kneeling on prize
dieu with his hands Joined over
book of the gospels, after the man
ner in which saints are represented in
old manuscripts-saye the presidential
head wants the nimbus. The expla-
nation is that in virtue of his office the
ruler of France, as successor of Charlie
magne, is an honorary canon of the
church of st. Julian at lie Mans 1t
seems the artist received his jocular
inspiration from window at Lune-
bourg. in which the kaiser is depicted
in the armor of Henry, the saint
emperor of Germany.-London Globe.

season should open, according to the
amendment TO the code passed by the
legislature. The commissioners, how
ever, being as much at sea as every
one else, have decided to ask the attor-
ney general for an opinion on the sub
1ect, and they take the stand that the
matter will not be definitely settled
until that official is heard from.
The original senate bill, amending
section 626 of the penal code. was in
troduced by Senator Birdsall and named
August 10 and November 10 as the
opening and closing dates for the deer
season. This bill did not meet with
approval. and was finally amended so
as to make the season open August
and extend until November /. The
