THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, APRIL 7, 1895. | WAS WON BY BITTNER His Superior Playing Took the Tournament for Riverside. THE SCORE WAS SIX TO TEN. Burlingame Put Up a Strong Game, but Weakened on the Finish. The greatest polo game ever played in the West, and He n Oelrichs s one of the greatest ever played in the United States, was witnessed yesterday afternoon at Burlingame. From the time ptain Wainewright threw the ball into the field to be caught by the wizard, Bittner, until the coach sounded the tinale, more than two hours later, the play was fast and furious. The game from start to finish was contested inch by inch and the victory of Riverside was won after the closest rout the team was ever put to. Cigarette is a mite of a pony. He was ! | visiting team played with almost mechani- cal evenness. Up and down the field the daring horsemen dashed, the white_ ball skimming over the smooth surface like a | shot from a cannon, all eager to win their | spurs upon the field. The excitement | grew apace. Men cheered and ladies ap- | plauded. The pace of the players was ter- | rible, and never for a moment did it slacken. But up and down, back and | forth they dashed, sometimes neck-and- neck, again abreast, and not infrequently ! in Indian file—all the time keeping up the | steady, thundering rate of speed. At the end of the first period the game stood 3 to 41in favor of Riverside. | At the opening of the second period all the players appeared on fresh mounts. | Bittner got the ball, and in a few seconds |of very skillful play on his part another goal was scored for Riverside. The home feam here made a series of bad plays, for | which they were all equally responsible. They held the ball down on the Riverside | goal for some little time, and should have put it through,but they were all too anxious | and the result was disastrous. The Tobins carried the ball down the field several | times, but the ranchers sent it back again with equal velocity. Bittner would dash into the thickest of the fray with his little | roan pony, and he generally got the ball. | Atthis particular point in the game the ball | came into his grasp, ana he carried it | down the field and sent it through the goal. | By this time the audience seemed to dis- cover the demon of the polo field, and throughout the remainder of the game he was looked upon with awe and trembling d bet against his team. ing, however, and the his pony, Burlingame by those who b | Despite his fine p! \perior speed o SCENE FROM THE PADDOCEK.

Riverside then went to work and captured three goals in quick suc- | cession, bringing the score up to ten. | That is how the game stood when the horn | sounded from the score box, and the fash- | ionable audience broke forth in cheers for victors and vanquished, and for the Country Club of Burlingame. | The attendance yesterday was much | larger than on Thursday, when the tourna- | tense a; | la Lande, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Oxnard, | tening up on the shoals of herring that | Sausalito ferry- were a hundred cavalry men on the ground vesterday.

The Holy Cross Church to Be Re- placed With a Modern Edifice. Of the thousands who tlocked to Cali- fornia in the early fifties, only a few are left to tell the story of their struggles and trials; of their successin the gold fields, and of the turbulent times, when lawless- ness was popular, and to have ‘killed your | man” meant applause from the gamblers T $100 cash and the remainder in install- ments. After making his first payment he had only $100 left, too little with which to build a house. He purchased three horse cars, which had been discarded by the North Beach and Mission road, for which he paid $15 each. Then he concluded to have the cars taken out to his lot, paying $27 for the work. The three cars were set side by side, fac- in%north and south, on a firm foundation, and the house was completed. Five dol- lars’ worth of lumber was put into a chicken-house, and there was enough left overto do some finishing in the middle car, which will be used as a sitting-room. The other two will constitute the kitchen and sleeping-room, respectively. Stahl is putting on the finishing touches at odd times and has the building nearly ready for occupancy. He expects to move his fdamily into the new quarters on Wednes- ay. ———————— LEAGUE OF THE OROSS Cadets Arranging for a Grand Com- petitive Drill.

Ben Butler's full cousin is in the bay. The big brown sea lion has temporarily forsaken his home on the seal rocks, in- trusted his young family to the care of Mrs. 8. Lion, and is most luxuriously fat- congregate in the tide rips in the neigh- borhood of Arch and Anita rocks. He is a monster, a brown brute, and his favorite pastime is to get into the course of the boats, lift up his grinning jaws cramming with fish, and disappear at the moment the ladies on the other side of the boat have rushed to the opposite rail to get a peep at him. He has the harbor to himself. Occasion- ally a few timid seals endeavor to feed in his herring pastures, but they are at once promptly chased away by Ben Butler's ferocious relative. The sea lion is an epi- cure in his way and prefers a chunk of fresh run salmon to small fish. When he strikes a shoal of salmon he wants a slice out of each and will disdain to finish the fish he has already mutilated. In lieu of salmon he considers sturgeon not bad and will conclude a course of the former with some light entrees of herrings and sar- Jines. The fishermen execrate the sea lion. He chases the small fish off shore, and if he gets put in their nets it will take a week’s work and miles of twine to repair them. They denounce the sentimentality which | permits them to dwell unmolesged on the rocks so the Eastern tourist may be con- vinced that we are not dependant alone upon the climate for attractions. VINING IS ARRESTED. He and Secretary Willcutt Are Booked for Committing a Misdemeanor and Give Cash Bail. Mayor Sutro yesterday morning fulfiiled the promise he made the Grand Jury on Friday by appearing in Judge Low’s court and swearing out warrants for the arrest of E. P. Vining and J. B. Willcutt, man- ager and secretary respectively of the Market-street Cable Company, for misde- meanor committed in tearing up O'Farrell street, between Scott and Devisadero, with- out giving forty-eight hours’ notice of their intention to the clerk of the Board of Supervisors, as required by law. The warrants were placed in the hands of Policeman Graham to serve. He called upon Manager Vining at his office and was received most courteously. He produced the warrant and was asked the amount of cash bail. He reylied $150, and in a few minutes it was handed to him_in gold. Then he ealled upon Secretary Willcutt, when the same performance was gone through. - Graham returned to the City Prison, pro- duced the $300 cash bail and the names E. P. Vining and J. B. Willcutt, with their ages, occupations, color, etc., were entered on the prison register, the charge ‘‘misde- SCENE ABOUT THE SCORE - BOX =3 4Dt Vi [Sketched by a “Call ™ artist.] ¢“Friends, Romans, Countrymen, Lend Me Your Ears.’—James K.

In a few years more all that will. remain of them will be a bitter or pleasant memory, as the case may be, and possibly a few lines in history. Away out on Eddy street, near Devisa- dero, stands a little church, adorned only with a small cross in front and an unpre- tentious tower in the rear. This is now the pioneer house of worship in San Fran- cisco. For forty-three years the parishioners of the Church of the Holy Cross, called in earlier days St. John’s, have met in this building. From a few members the congregation has grown to be one of the largest In the Church of the Holy Cross, Built in 1854, and Now Standing on Eddy Street. city, and as it increased in_importance it grew in riches. The building is now too small, and the congregation has deter- mined to build an edifice more suitable to their growth and more in keeping with the lines laid down for modern churches. DURING THE GAME. played with great energy, did not have the strength fo continue the pace, and was noticeably weak on the finish. There was a hot skirmish for possession of the ball at the opening. The ball ca- reered up and down the field for a short space and finally passed into the pos- gession of Joe Tobin — who, with his brother, may well wear the red and blue colors of the Burlingame with honors— and he carried it down on the Riverside goal, where Captain Waring got the.ball and, bearing down on the enemy’s al, he passed itto Mond, who gave ita ne drive and sent it between the flags, scoring the hrst goal for the visitors. This goal was taken before the audience could get its breath, and in an equsrlg short period the Burlingame men sco: the second point. Joe Tobin got_the ball and sent it flying through the Riverside | goal amid the shouts and cheersof the spectators. 5 Riverside won the third goal through the skill of Bittner and his pony. The play now became fast and_furious. Burlingame seemed rattled, while the | ment opened. Besides the most fashion- | able people of the city, there were hun- | dreds present that were not of the swagger | set that sought and found an afternoon’s | sp(:rt that was intensely exciting through- | out. | There were many handsome equipages | on the grounds and the scene was one of | the most brilliant ever witnessed at Bur- | lindame. The club came in for much | praise for the splendid manner in which it | carried out the tournament, and if it suc- | | ceeds in making the sport popular in Cali- | fornia, as it will doubtless eventually do, | it will greatly aid in developing the men- tal and physical resources of the growing | vouth of ‘the country.

With the growth of the city the site became very valuable, and the church as a body decided to move, purchasing a lot on Eddy street, near Octavia. In 1893 they sold this and moved to the present location. For the last fourteen years Father Mc- Ginty has been in charge of the pas- toral work of the church. Under his direction and guidance the Holy Cross Church has become one of the most tlour- ishing in the city. He is working hard for the success of the coming theatrical per. formance, and it will not be his fault if they do not reap a rich financial harvest.

Away out on Twentieth avenue, near sm_mherry Hill, where the sand drifts whm‘a and hard in dunes and the lupine flourishes, pharles Stahl, for the past three years a gripman on the Ellis-street cable lmg, has just put up a novel structure, which he proposes to use as a dwelling place for himself and family. Stahl at the present time lives with his wife and two children in a flat at 191114 McAllister street. He has a regular night run on the Ellis-street road and earns $1 75 per night. This he claims is principall; absorbed by his rent bill, leavinpvery ittlye for other expenses, and precmdi%g the pos- sxblht_v of putting anything by for a rainy ay. A few weeks since he set himself to the task of solving the question of how to own a home on §175 per day. He is now sure that he has a solution of the problem.
