THE HANDBALL COURTS, Great Interest Manifested in the Coming Championship Match. A Number of Exciting and Closely Contested Games Played Yesterday. Great interest 1s being manifested in handball circles in the match to be played next Sunday afternoon in- the San Fran- cisco court between J. Harlow and John Riordan for the coast championship. Riordan held the championship for some years. About a year ago Harlow chal- lenged him to play for the championship and $50 & side and deposited $20 with Tue Carr. Riordan failed to cover theamount and Harlow ciaimed thé championship, which he bas held since then. The wish has always been expressed by {riends of both men that they should play a match 1o settle who was really entitled to the position of champion, and it _will come off next Sunday afterncon. Both are in active trnhflnf for the event and each feels confident of success. Yesterday there was a large attendance at each of the courts. At the Ban Fran- cisco court the principal attraction was a match between P. T. Donnelly, the ama- - teur champion, and R. Linehan and Har- low, thecoast champion, and J. Feeney. Each of the five games was stubbornly contested and the final was won by Don- nelly and Linehan by five aces.” At the Union court the event of the da was a match between J. J. Feeney an Terry McManus and R. Linehan and J. Rodgers, the two former winning the finai game by only one ace. Next Sundsy af- ternoon, commencing at 1 o’clock, Don- - pelly, the amateur champion, and T. F. Bonnet will play R. Linehan and J. J. Fecney, the crackajacks of the court, which will be a match well worth seeing. Following were the games played yes- terday: San Francisco court—J. Rodgers and M. Mc- Neil played W. Manion aund G.

The latter had him arrested for aiding in the landing of a Chinese girl, Dong Sun Yet, for immoral purposes, but the United States Grand Jury dismissed the char, Now ‘6i iams is after Wong Sam again. He wants him out of the way, as Sam will give damaging testimony against Wil fiams, who must answer the charges of conspiracy and bribery. Wong Sam was released on $3000 bail. CRICKETONTWO GROUNDS Both Matches Are One-Sided, Particularly the Alameda- California. - 1—1 At Alameda the Bohemians Were Badly Beaten by the Pacific Eleven. Neither of the cup cricket matches played yesterday could be called particu- larly interesting. At Alameda the Bohe- mians, minus tbeir regular captain, Wil- liam Robertson, met the Pacifics. Cap- tain George Theobald of the lattér club, winniog the toss, sent his opponents in. They were disposed of for a total of 59 runs, to which Martin, with 21, was the only considerable contributor. The Pa- citics then faced the bowling of Cookson and Reynolds. Pocock was the first to do any scoring, and put up a somewhat lucky 27. Up to the fall of the seventh wicket the result hung in the balance. Then Cassidy settled matters by hitting up a timely 23, not out. ‘At the tenth wicket the telegraph board registered 104. In their second essay the Bohemians only managed to score a puny 28, thus Jeaving the Pacifics victorious by an inning and 17 runs. The fialding features of the game were Tiedemann’s catch of Reeves and Young’s catch of Reynolds. The scores: BOMEMIANS—FIRST INNING. Dr. Bowhill b. Casidy 2 F. A. Coles ¢. Harbour b, Casidy. E. A.

Alameda lost the toss and were put in. With the lossof only four wickets a total of 224 runs was com- piled and then Captain Hogue called the inning. The scorers were Moriarty, who, after a let off early in the fight, put up 68; Price, who gslayeu a good inning of 84, and Bird, with not out—extras 14. Towns- ley, Guild, Banner and Gelatly bowled against them. The Californias then went in and were dismissed, first for 59 and then for 99 runs, no individual particularly distinguishing himself. The Alameda bowlers were Ward -Sr., Ward Jr., Peel, Driffield and Bragg, the last named accomplishing the “*hat trick’’ for the second time this sea- son. Result, a victory for Alameda by an inning and 66 runs. —————— BOVARD T0 YOUNG MEN. Yesterday's Address at the Y. M. C, A, Events That Will Follow. The Rev. W. 8.

Good Scores Made WIth Target Pistols—Military Marksmen’s Monthly Records. The fifty-shot pistol match between Smith, Carr and A. H. Pape did not take place at the Shell Mound range yesterday. It 'was discovered that Carr’s trigger had been worn down by use; that it was lighter than the regulation two-pound pull, and there was no way then to stiffen it. How- ever, several matches were shot for small purses. Inthe first, a thirty-shot event, the scores in strings of ten, on the Colum- bia target, were: Carr 42, 42, 47; F. 0. Young 51, 50, 52; J. E. Gorman 58, 53, 50. A. H. Pape shot two strings of ten and made 55, 52. Another pool match took place, in which some excellent shots were made, especially by Gorman. One string of ten, equaling 33, beat the best run on the coast, the in- dividual shots being 4, 2,5, 3, 3,1, 1, 2, 8, 4. The scores of the whole were: Pape 56, 56, 45, 36, 65; total 258. Young, 56, 64, 62, 62, 65; total 319. Gorman, 53, 61,55, 33, 50; totai 252. “'here were not many rifie-shooters on the range and it was well they stayed away, for the clouds made the light very poor.

Ed Morris, proprietor of the Popular saloon on O'Farrell street, which was formerly owned by Ryan, the defaulting treasurer and insurance solicitor, said yes- terday that he bad also been victimized to the extent of $300. “Mr. Ryan,” he said, “has never been a partner of mine; he merely secured a lease of this place, but he was really a fizurehead. Last Monday I paid or rather loaned him $250, because Isaw that he was in trouble. Idid not know at the time that he was a defaulter.”” . ‘Are you not a8 member of the court?” asked the reporter. ‘‘Yes, but we always trusted Harry, and we were secured also, you know.”’ On being interrogated further Mr. Mor- ris said he believed Ryan was yetin the City, volnnmrinfiithe information that he thought he was in hidiug in the vicinity of his bome, 537 Minna street. The executive council of Acme Court met last night and was disposed to view Ryan’s defalcation with leniency as the bonds of ic Burety Company would cover all losses. The detectives employed by the Pacific Burety Company have not as yet been able to tind the slightest trace of Ryan. His former residence, 537 Minna street, is closely watched, because of a report that the double defaulter was in hiding in the neighborhood. . ‘e exact amount of money secured by the solicitor and treasurer is not definitel known. Acme Court is out at least with every probability that the sum will be materially increased when all the out- standing bills are in. His partner in the Popular saloon, 131 O'Farrell street, is also out a similar sum. Brown, Craig & Co. have not yet figured up their losses, but enough was'discovered vesterday to show that Ryan got away with at least $1000. There are still a score or more of outstanding policies yet to be looked after. : It is said that Ryan borrowed money wherever he could, his personal friends being the ones o suffer most. When these obligations are considered the absent treasarer’s debts will not fall far short of 2000, .Up to a year ago Ryan took an active part in politics, making a lively fight at that time for tbe Republican nomination for Supervisor of the Eieventh District. REASON AND RELIGION. The Pastor of the-West Side Church Talks on This Interesting Theme. Rev. W. A. Gardner, pastor of the West Side Church, preached on “Reason ana Religion” last night. Among other things he said: *There are a great many people who are too proud to say they are religious. When asked the question they will say: ‘Me re- ligious? No; I am & man of common sense. I have too much reason to be re- ligious—reason and common sense do not go together.” Now, there are thousands of people in San Francisco who think this very way. There are many religions, some of which I do not think are reasonable. Of them I will not speak to-night.” The speaker then recited several in- stances which had come under his obserya- tion where people became disgusted with religion because some person or persons of their acquaintance had shown themselves to be bypocrites. He contended with those who came with such complaints that it was not Christ’s religion, but mere- ly the particular belief of one person. Yesterday marked the third anniver- sary of Rev. Mr. Gardner's pastorate of the West Side Church, The society was organized four years ago and for twelve months held irregular services in_a build- ing on Post street. At the end' of that time the present edifice on Bush street near Devisadero was erected. Under Mr. Gardner's guidance the church has grown in every way. A new and more commodi- ous building is contemplated, ——e A FAREWELL BANQUET, Julius Platshek, a Prominent Merchant, Honored by His Friends. Many of the Well-Known Members of the Order B'nai B'rith Were Pres. ent to Bid Him Good-By. Julius Platshek, a well-known merchant of this City and a prominent member of the Independent Order of B'ne B'rith, who recently, on account of ill health, resigned the office of grand treasurer of the order, to which position he was re-elected at the session of the district grand lodge last January, will leave for a six months’ trip to Europe for the benefit of his health. He will be accompaniea by his son. On last Saturday night he was tendered a complimentary banquet at the Maison Riche by a number of friends who assem- bled to bid him good-by, a safe journey and a speedy return improved in health, There were seated around the table. at the bead of which Was the guest of the even- ing, Grand President E. I. Wolfe, First Vice-President M. P. Stein, Second Vice- President Ed Bare, Grand Tressurer Ben Harris, Grand Secretary Jacob Levison, Grand Trustees M. Marcuse, S. Hoch- stadter and Louis Oohen, who compose the general committee of the district grand lodge; Marco Platshek, son of the guest,Dr. Jacob voorsanger,Joseph Roths- chiid, J. Greenbaum, 1. Harns, J. Lacher, Henry Schwartz, S. J. Ascheim, H. Block, Dr. 8. Levy. 8. Baruch and D. S. Hirshberg. After the cafe noir had been brought on Grand President Wolfe assumea tne duties of toastmaster and offered a number that were responded to. J.Greenbaum read telegrams of regret from ex-Grand Presi- dent Abram Jones, who was detained in Oakland; and from J. L. Franklin,who was in Coronado, but each wished the ex- treasurer go&speed and a pleasant voy- age. Aftera few remarks by the toast. master, Dr.Voorsanger said that he hardly thought it necessary to say anything, as the good wishes had been expressed by the presence of the friends of Mr. Platshek and that carried with it the conviction of sincerity, which he thougnt was of more value than the medicine of physicians given for the restoration of health. He spoke of the affection of the son, who goes with his father on the journey, and said that such affection as the son "has shown for the father is a good omen. He con- cluded with “God bless you, and may he watch and care for you and restore you to us soon sound in health.” Other speakers were: D. 8. Hirshberg, I. Harris, M, P. Stein, Joseph Rothschild, Ben Harris, Dr. M. 8. Levl; Ed Bare, Marco Platshack, Jacob vison, L. Lachor, H. Enkel, 8. Hochstadter, §. Ba- ruch, M. Marcuse, H. Bloch, 8. J. As. cheim. At the close the imeaz of the even- ing expressed his heartfelt appreciation of the compliment paid him, and promised on his return to work for the best interest of the order as he had done in the past. Mr. Platshek is held in high esteem by all who know him, and partiqularly so by those who have been in close communion with him in the charitable work of the order of which he is an honored mem- e FOR MEMORIAL DAY.

THE RECORD FOR THE WEEK. Notable Increase in Amount of Build. ing Contracts Fi'ed in April, The real estate market during the month of April was not as active as in March. If the weather is favorable this mouth there will probably be some increase in the volume of business. The unsettled weather that has prevailed for the past two weeks or more has hurt business to a considerable extent. FARM MORTGAGES HELD BY SAVINGS BANKS. Thomas Magee & Sons’ Real Estate Circular 1ssued the 1st of May contains the following timely article on the subject of farm mort- gages held by savings banks: Recent articles in the daily papers are calcu- lated to give the public the impression that the owners of the farming lands in the agri- cultural counties of the State are generally weighted down with mortgages beyond hope of extrication; also that the savings bunks of the City have loaned imprudently on such lands, and that their value has fallen so much that the security is no longer good. These ideas will be dissipated by examina- tion of the following tables, collated from the report of the State Board of Equalization for the fiur 1894 (latest issue) and the report of the Bank Commissioners for last July. We have not space for a showing in detall for all the agricultural counties; hence we se- lect seven counties as tyqllcl.l, where the mort- gage indebtedness is the largest. Four of these counties are 1n the San Joaquin Valiey, two in the Sacramento Valley and one on the coast: Q g g z 5 = c&yeaa e jo ESEE583 | ouwa possossey Bl 22228 S2ES2 S 1055042 2 RSgximi | - saSudiiom SR3ZE35 s jo junowmy B SS3885% n[eA 19103 031 sareSiuow 30 e3viusdlag awise [va: paSediiom 30 euyua passassy 002'092'9 8 * - £1anoes 01 50 % uniom o 98uiusdieg ¥9'69 ROEL 08°LL In no one of the counties is real estate as- sessed for more than two-thirds of its value. 1t follows, therefore, that the last percentage given may be reduced one-third. The second table shows the total mortgages held by the savings banksof this City in the seven counties named, with the assessed value of the security, the real value of the security, the percentage of mortgages to assessed value and percentage of the morigages to the real value: f FESTE EgEads £38sz:3 & o o S g g £ Z EF I 3 2 & & | oA ;i go E22EENE | ovawq | d3uiaes $REEELA | Lq pleq. 20 B5EEaEs SSERSEE - 2 R R '3 |30 onrva. possossy “£1110008 °q3 jo eupsa vay **'aMIWA passas -6% 01 SesEIIOW 30 ef¥iusdiag ¥9'69 i 98vjuodiag The total loans of our City sav ings banks se- cured by mortgages and trust deeds on sil California real estate, city and country salike, sggregate §72,402,152. From this sum there is 10 be deducted loans on city real estate, to wit: San Francisco, all; Alameda County, two-thirds; Los Angeles, one-half, and the re- mainder of. the counties’ one-tenth, the aggre- g;le being $48,449,248. This will leave 55.8,- 2, as the total amountloaned on country lands in this State, the seven counties above named included; but'it is to be remembered thata ver{ considerable percentage of this re- mainder is secured upon lands in the Bay counties, where there has been but little de- preciation in values, and there can be but small question there as to abundance of se- curity, The savings banks carr; ns loans as above have assets amounting to $113,657,469. That some country mortgages fiud uately secured are held by the City banks is beyond uestion, but that is the case averywhen.-})n- ticularly where there has been & general de- reciation of values. Not every ings bank oan on San Francisco real esta o-day well secured. The margins on country loans have always been much larger than what has been demanded in the City, hence they will stand a larger percentage of depreciation withous loss, and it is a question to-day whether the City loans of the savings banks average better as to security than those on farm properties. The Tealty of the State of California is assessed as follows: Land, $715,383,880; im- rovements, $244,814,073; total, $960,197,- 3. The mort, 86“ thereon amount to a total of $218,714,706, or only one-fifth of the assessed, which is at least 33 per cent below the real value. In a footnote the Board of Egu.ll.nunn 8ays: “The value of the mortgages in 1894 is 68.27 per cent of the value of the property mortgaged. The total amount of real estate and improvements is burdened with mortgages to the extent of 21.89 per cent.” There is not, we beiieve, a growing State in the Union y less encumbered by debt. The need of immense sums_of money for de- velopment in this great undeveloped State is & vital, & ng, & cryi one. The l'inql bauks orzhe Ciry, bkg.?&.m luppnl{ln this need, have made orchards, vineyards, irriga- tion projects and general development possi- ble to an enormous exient, thereby increasing the weaith of the State three to ten dollars for every dollar they loaned. In return for this great work, exercised with as great care and discretion as it was possible tondort. do-nothings here—barnacles on the ship of progress—have criea out that the work was an unsafe one and the securities bad. I that is 80, San Francisco, which depends on But& progress, will go down in the general wreck. The small percentage of mortgage debt to total value otnu estate will be a surprise to those who have jumped to the conclusion that the State is bankrupt. It may be safely as. serted that the people of California have rela- tively the sm it mortgage debt of any State in the Union.
