OAKLAND A GAME
Cameron and WoIKerfen Object
to Close Decision and Um=
pire Says Forfeit
[ Special Dispatch to The Call

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15.-Follow-
ing a near riot In which Umpire Nc
Greevy narrowly escaped injury at the
hands, of infuriated Oakland players,
the game this afternoon was declared
forfeited to the Angels when Captain
Wolverton and First Baseman Cameron
refused to leave the field when ordered
to do SO by McGreevy.
Angered by what they believed an
unfair decision and which resulted in
the scoring of two runs by the Angels,
the Commuters surrounded McGreevy,
and Cameron, so eyewftnesses declared,
attempted to strike the umpire. Lively
threatened him with a bat, while two
policemen were required to lead Pitcher
Nelson from the scene. Members of the
Los Angeles team formed a guard for
McGreevy and escorted him to the
grandstand, where he remained until
the Oakland players left the field.
All the excitement came in the sew
enth inning. The score was three to
two in favor of Oakland when the
Angels went to bat Orendorff was hit,
Nagle was safe on Christians low
throw, but Daley was declared out for
attempting to bunt the third strike.
Lively then relieved Christian, and
after Bernard was out, Lively hit
Howard. SLING the bases. Dillon drove
to Cutshaw, who threw to Cameron, and
the Oakland players and many specta-
tors believed Dillon was out
Cameron, without waiting for the de-
cIsion, started for the bench, but in
the meantime McGreevy had called
Dillon safe, and Orendorff and Nagle
crossed the plate. The Oakland players
rushed for McGreevy, Cameron ana
Wolverton leading in the protest Both
We're fined SIS each, and then they were
ordered from the field. McGreevy
warned them to obey within five. min
utes, and when that time had elapsed
and his order has not been obeyed he
declared the game forfeited to Los An
geles by the score of 8 to 0.

Yesterday was another good day
for Portland, even if the goddess of
good luck did step in and lend a
helping hand. The game which the
Beavers had scheduled with Sacra-
mento was called off, while the
Oaks rough housed themselves out
of a possible victory at Los An
geles. This turn of fate gives the
Beavers the lead by one game.
San Francisco's chances look
brighter now than ever. They are

II am a man devoid of lightaess and
ing afflictions!''
''Aye! said the. woman, "wert
thou not patient in bearing of afflic-
tions. thou hadst never endured thy
nose these forty years!"
All of which is more witty than
kind. Hardly less sharp is this next
tale; Bahlul, we are told. once came
into the presence of the famed Caliph
child. One Of the viziers accosted him,
saying, Rejoice, o Bahlul, at these
good tidings! The Prince of the
Faithful has made thee ruler over
apes and swine!"
Take my orders, then," quickly re-
torted Bahlul, "for surely thou art of
my subjects!"
Again there is q spice of national
hatred in such a tale as this: o Hurk,
says Jami being asked which he would
prefer, plunder in this world, or Par
adise hereafter, made answer thus:
Let me today engage in pillage and
carry off all that I can find, tomor-
row 1 shall be willing to enter hell
fire with Pharoah the persecutor!''
For some reason or other, the Man
Of Jam seems to have a deep detesta-.
ton of school teachers, if one may
judge from the many sharp jests he
directs against them. For example,
this: A teacher, he says. whose son
had fallen i'll and was at the point OF
death, bade them send for the wash
er OF corpses to wash his son. But"
they objected, che is not dead yeti"
Never mind" said the teacher; "he
will be dead by the time they have fin
ished washing him!''
Again, they said to the son of an
other teacher. What a pity thou art
such a fool!" ELSE were I no true
son of my father!" he replied

Harry was an only child and the
greatest desire Of his heart was for a
baby brother or sister. He preferred
sister and never failed to ask for
one when he said his evening prayer.
Not receiving an answer, he remov-
ed all restrictions by altering his pc
ton to the following: 20 God, send
us baby; don't care whether it's a
boy or girl, or black or white, if it's
only baby"
Shortly after the Densmores, who
lived next door. had an addition to
their already large family, Harry's
mamma. noticing that the little boy
no longer prayed for baby, said to
him one day:
Harry, why is it you don't ask God
for a baby any more?"
"Oh,. it's no use," he replied, "if
one comes along the Densmoresll

Well, where it strikes the wall you
will be pretty sure to find spots that
seem to stand out vividly from the
dark background. Select one of these
patches of brightness one preferably
not much larger than a silver dollar.
Settle down comfortably in such a way
that 1t will be within easy range of
your vision without straining to see it.
Then gaze at 1t steadily.
DO not, however. try to stare it out

Before long your eyes will begin
to feel tired, and they will gradually

they will close. Again open them.
Presently you will find 1t impossible
to open them, and the next instant you
will be asleep"

a poison it has been known from very
