SOME YELLOW BALL. Painful Accident to Catcher Bodie of the California Club. A CCLLISION IN THE FIELD. Three Men Ran for a Fly and They Came Together With a Crash. There were two games of ball playea at Presidio Athletic Park yesterday for a single admission. It seemed as though the management knew in advance that one of them would be worthiess as an en- tertainment. Both contests were appro- priate to the Fourth of July, being singu- larly pyrotechnic. Base hits and runs were as plentiful as pebbles in a gravel- bed, while errors were by no meansscarce. Of the first game, in which the Califor- nias and Imperials engaged, the less said the better. The Californias, who won, played like & lot of schoolboys, and the Imperials seemed unable to get out of one another’sway. Kelly, who pitched sucha magnificent game against the Pacifics two weeks ago, seemed to have been training & la Corbett, on shrimp salad. Atany rate, is opponents found him the easiest of easy gaies. ’l‘yne conlest between the new Oakland representatives and the Pacifics was quite an improvement over its predecessor, but by no means what it should have been. The Oakland organization is a good one, and it seems probable that it will win-the City League pennant. However, the men from across the bay showed a lamentable | iack of team work. They aiso need a pitcher. Noian was heralded as a college phenom, but he is many notches removed from being even a clever amateur. Had McCarty, the regular pitcher of the Pacifics, been on hand ‘the result of the game_would have undoubtedly been re- versed and a clever young player been spared a puinful accident. Owing to MecUarty’s non-appearance Monahan was taken_irom short to fill the | pitcher’s box, and Bodie, the promisiag cateber of the Calitornia team and proba- bly the best man in that organization, sub- stituted for Monahan. 1n the fourth in. ning, while trying for a high fly in leit field, Bodie. Muller and Cosgrave collided, with the result that both bones of Bodie’s left leg were broken below the knee. He was taken to his home in a patrol wagon. A young man named McKee was put in the game after the accident. He played in right field and McDermott took Bodie’s place. McKee is a good player. Out of four times at bai he made two hits, both of them good, clean ones, and stole two bases. He also made one put-out on the only chance he had. | The spectators had little time to grow | cold after the game commenced. In only one inning did both sides fail to score. The Oaklands were first at bat. Agnew | singled ana Arlett followed with a two- | bagger, but the Churchmen failed to score. | The Pacitics started the run-getting in their half, tallying one on Monahan’s { double and Wilds’ single. From then on until the ninth it was a see-saw. The visitors made two each in | the second and third and the Pacifics two in their half of the latter. In the fourth six of the Oaklands circled the bases and things looked easy for them. The Pa- | cifics, however, went to work with a will | and made four in the fourth, two in the fifth and three in the seventh. | O’Neill's heavy hitters were not to'bede- nied, and in the ninth man after man hit safely until six singles had been piled up and three men scored. Then Agpew was | put out at the plate and O’Neill flew out, | | Walter scoring on the throw-in. Keating followed with another safe arive, and Hardie tallied. Davis retired the side on i a fly to first. In their half of the ninth the Pacifics went out in one-iwo-three order. The new team is composed of heavy hit- ters and clean base-runners. Donovan, | who plays first, can run a hundred yards | better than eleven seconds. His batting ability is proved by the fact that out of six | | times at bat he made three hits. Agnew | is a poor tielaer, but a hard hitter, his per- | centage being the same as Donovan’s. Arlett, the shortstop, is a jewel. He | made four hits, two of them doubles, out | of a possible six. He, too, is a runner par | excellence. Waiters hit twice and made | four runs. Irrepressible “Tip” O'Neill got | his base on balls three times and made | three runsand asingle. Keating’s batting record was the best of all, he scoring five safe ones. | Of the Pacifics, Monahan easily carried | off the honors. He made two singles, two | doubles and a triple and failed but once to | hit safely. He also made four runs, stole | two bases, made three putouts and four | assists without an error. Wilds batted | well. Out of a possible six he culled a | triple, a double and two singles. The bal- ance of the teams secured but five hits al- together. ‘rém now on it will take a mighty good | team to get within hailing distance of the | Oaklands. Donovan, Arlett, Hardie, | O’Nril, Keating and the rest of them form | & strong combination of old-timers and young bloods. | Following are the summaries of the two games: AB R 1B 8B PO A B TR DA T R Y e [ B et Ll Vi ey 4558 A0 SN L0 T U R RS TR B et ¢ 7 o Qe o gy by Eoi S B e e i (o e 8.5 3 N 32 0 [ Zeis, 3 b. 576 3 0'3 6 3 Totals.............49 27 22 6 27 16 13 IMPERTALS.

LAUGHS AT TORNADOES, And Is Fortified When at Home Against the Worst of Twisters. Over in Quindaro, Kans., is a man who laughs at tornadoes—when he is at home. Put him among strangers, however, and the commonest little dust whirlwind, bouncing along a road, will cause him to quake with apprehension, says the Kansas City Star. A black spot in the sky on a summer afternoon no bigger than one's hand soon takes on, for him, a most prodigious size. He reads in the daily papers accounts of the storms that swept over Kansas and Texas, and for weeks afterward he relates in a dramatic manner the stories to the credulous ease-takers who assemble daily at the corner grocery. He begins to talk of the tornadoes as soon as the ice and snow of winter melt, and it depresses him to contemplate the dire dis- asters that niay come forth from the yawn- ing chasm of destruction .between cold weather of early spring and late fall. He has accordingly fortified his home, and when there defies the worst twister that ever blew water outof a cistern or feathers off a chicken. Underneath his house is a large cellar, dry as a bone, in which is kept the family rovisions. On one side of this ceilar and into the earth beyond descends a flight of steps leading into another cellar. This latter cellar is cemented from top to bot- tom, and is so carefully donstructed that not a drop of water can enter.’ A ventilat- ing shaft reaches the open air above, making it impossible for a person in the cellar to become sufficated. This subter- ranean abode is the envy and admiration of the neighbors, but ‘“‘every rose has its thorn.”” In the neighborhood lives an old farmer who is something of a fatalist. He sed by one day while the cellar was ng dug. “Well, now, what ye think ya’re doing?"” “Buiiding a cyclone cellar.” “‘Ye jest might as well stop wastin’ yer muscle, fer if ye're born ter git killed by one of them danged cyclones iv'll git ye, if ye're fifty feet under ground.” The owner of the cellar never quite re- covered his faith after this bit of fatalism. R Moltke and His Generalship, The question has often been raised, “What system did Moltke pursue in strategy ?” All are now pretty well agreed in answering it as follows: ‘‘His system lay in the maxim, ‘March on different lines, and concentrate to strike.’” The question is, of course, wmnzl? put, for what great commander ever followed any “'system of strategy’’? And the answer given above is not less wrong in itseli, for it expresses no princinle, but merely con- tains one of many conditions without | which great bodies of troops cannot pos- sibly be handled, or war on a large scale carried on.—The Forum. ———————— Do not fail to read Thomas Siater's advertise- ment on page 11 for men.

Charles Dickens’ love of children is well illustrated in the following storz: He was walking in the neighborhood of Gads Hill one day, not long after he had acquired his property there, when he suddenly ran into a little girl woeeling a doll's peram- bulator. In an instant.the tiny vehicle upset, the doll being thrown out. It was a bad accident as far as they were concerned, for wax heads ana limbs are not calculated to stand much hard usage. The Jittie maid burst into tears, and, much to the novelist’s sorrow, refused to be comforted. 3 > “Then come home with me,” Dickens whispered soothingly, “and we'll see if we can’t find some grand waxen lady in silks and satins for you.” So back to the big house the two went, and, sure enough, up in his children’s nursery he managed to discover a few prettily dressed dolls. With these safely tucked in her perambulator the little girl trotted cff. But 1t is in the sequel that the best part of the story lies. The child’s heart was set on making some return for this kind- ness, so her parents, who had not the faintest suspicion of her friend’s person- ality, took her to town to choose some- thing. Her choice fell eventually upon a gorgeously bound book. & When Dickens the next day undid the parcel his small visitor brought him he was mrgrl-ed and delighted to see a copy of “David Coppertield.” Not until many years later, when they met again in society, did the little girl learn who the “kind gentleman” was.

Old Annie Plays “ The Red, White and Blus” on Her Music-Box in Honor of the Day. Yesterday was a Fourth of glorious prospects as well as being a glorious Fourth at the Pesthouse. It was the firstday of the leprosy treatment from which all the inmates of the Pesthouse expect so much. All the lepers began taking the medaicine and although it will bea month or so be- fore much can be determined as to the efficacy of the treatment, nevertheless all are hopeful. The medicine schedule, as pablished in yesterday’s CALL, went into effect and each patient took the bath, the tea and three doses of pills, Superintendent Keating fears that the Chinese, who become im- patient unless they see immediate benefits from a medicine, will not persevere, but the white lepers wiil continue the treat- ment. The two Bindt boys took the med- icine five years ago and Superintendent Keating believes it practically cured them, for they have not become any worse since then. The lepers were anticipating a feast of Toast pig yesterday in honor of the Fourth, but the porcine delicacies came too late, so the spread was postponed until to-day. A keg of beer allayed their disappointment somewhat, however, and they felt in quite 2 mood to celebrate. Old Annie, the Chinese woman, had her room fixed up, and when a Carwn reporter stopped a mo- ment at her door she insisted on playing “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean,” on her music-box. : Several of the Chinese upstairs were busily perusing the strange Orientat hieroglyphics in the instruction books that come with the boxes of medicine. Most of them are quite hopeful at present, pbut it is doubtfui whether they will con- tinue the somewhat tiresome bath treat- ment, which, according to a member of the Board of Health of Honolulu, who was here visiting a few weeks ago, is the most beneficial part of the remedy. One of the Chinese patients, who has had the disease but a short time, can be entirely cured, according to the doctor’s opionion, if he keeps up the treatment. 5 —~—e e e o e DRI All 77 nes 1S TO COMPARE OUR PRICES ON BABY CARRIAGES Hood top, reed body, upholstered, steel eorings and wheeis, ....84.75 Hood top, reed body, good upholstering, steel springs and wheels. ................86.35 Hood top, reed body, upholstered in tapes- try, plush roll, steel springs and wheels........ ..88.85 Hood top, reed body, fancy shape, uphol- stered' in tapestry. plush roll, steel springs and wheel ...810.00 CARRIAGE .".
