But the Varions Members of the Teams Did Do Most Valiantly, The Score Was Small, Justifying the Verdict That the Contest Was Great. ALAMEDA, Cai., Sept. of Oakland piays better ball than the city of Alameda—not such a very large amount better, however. That fact was well demonstrated this afternoon, when the teams met on the diamond at the Alameda Baseball Park. The trouble began with a paradeon Park street, Alameds, of the two teams. City Treasurer Wheeler of Alameda, orna- mented with a pretty white sweater, led the van. Then ceme the Alameda team, marching in single rank and coveringas much of the street as they could. The second division of tbe parade con- sisted of the Oakland team, manfully trying to spread out over more sireet than the Alameda team couid. Then came citizens in carriagi foot, citizens on the sidewalk and citizens in a streetcar. The parade made good time down Park street to the narrow- gauge depot, and there all hands took the train down to the grounds at 2 o’clock. It was a warm game, but it wasn’t quite s0 warm as the games the city of Oakiand played aguinst the county of Alameda. But the Oakiand team all solemniy assert that it was a much better game, better by about 15 yer cent. That idea may be partly explained, however, by the fact that thisis the first game they happened 1o have won. Circumstances muchly alter cases. Tue players and thoir positions were as follows: Alameda Ci ployes—Goldsworthy,short- stop; Steinmetz, pitcher; Simpson, caicher; S humacher, first brse; Kieupter, third base and captain; Wanhnanth, leit field; Mai.lot, c:uter field ; Rogers, right field; Sculls, second pase; Guun, >t Sure and Lamborn, substitutes. Oskland City Employes—Callaban, short- stop; Hennessy, third base; H. tbese; Coblett, second base; Cl it field; Thomus, nan, pitener; Jacobus, ter ficid and Captain; Ailen, right field. During the game Goldsworthy Steinmetz's place as pitcher, for the last three innings, for the Alameda nine, and Gunn replaced Scully on second bag for two innings. The rame was called almost on time, at alittle after 2:30 . M. Alameda went to the bat and Golasworthy gotfirst on a very pretty hit and stole two more bases. Steinmetz, who followed him, made thé only three-bagger of the day, and he and Goldsworthy got home before the ball was returned. Then Ozkland came to bat. Mr. Calla- han rapidiy found the pitcher, and after knocking two-foul bails #0 far-over the party went to search for them, he goi his buse on bails. He also managed to get all the way around the diamond and got a tally all by himself- Mr. Spike Hennessy, clerk of the Police Court, as is nis usual cusiom fanned out in one, two, three style. Mr. Holland gatherel in another run, and then the misfortunes of some of his fellow-viayers | resulted in ending that inning with the score a tie, 2 to 2. In the second inning on Alameda’s side | wo men_struck out gracefully, and then | Chief of Police Rogers came up to *he bat. | The Chlet was presented with an elegant | ouquet consisting of an assortmentof ! 11.—The city | citizens on | took | fence that the game was delayed while a | in favor of Oskiand and Alameda resolved | to do or die. Mr. Simpson redeemed the team by get- ting in a good run before his side had three men out, but Goldsworthy, Maiilot and Rogers all died before they got home; Chief Rogers, in fact, died right on the start, having done the fan-out act for the second time. For Oakland in tihe same inning Hennessy and Holland each made a run, leaving thae score at the opsning of the seventh 8 to 3. Neitber side scqred in the seventh, but in the eighth Steinmetz and Simpson each got a run for Alaineda. Neither side made a ran after that, and the game was ended after the first half of the ninth with Oakiand shead by a score | oi 8 to 5. The game was 4 much botter ball game than those which the Oakland team pieyed against the county, The smali- ness of the score is a proof of that fact. Chief Rogers of Alameda played in bad luck. He fanned out twice, and the third time he came to bat knocked a choice fly out into left field, where the fielder yrace- fully gobbled it and put -out not only Rogers, but his side, too. Monte Clement got a ball from Rohan right on theé side of the head that knocked him head over heels, and it was thought that he was seriously burt. He got up, however, dusted himself off and laughed and went on-with the game. Percy Jacobus ot a ball on the left arm trom Sieinmeiz. It gave him his bae but he didn’t want one that way as it also gave him a lovely black and blus place about the size of soun plate, Labrarian Jonn W, Harbourne of Ala- meda and Dr. Tom Carpenter, City Veterinary Inspecior, clothed themselves in sweaters aud voluminous bloomers and sold chewinz gum and peanuts. They were universally pronounced the sweetest things on the grounds. Substitute Trune of Oakland was a truly heroic fizure. He is about 54 feet high and 6 feet around, and when ue took Hol- land’s place for a while on first base he got all the crowd’s attention. J. Cal Ewing umpired the game for Oak- land and Georce Croll for Alameda, F. 8. Cone and Juck Hammond kept the official score. The scoré by innings was as follows: Oakland 3010200 =8 Alamea. 0000102 0-5 | COLLEGE 1MPROVEMENTS, Kegeuts Will Be Asked for $2740 for Lighting the University Grounds.

Booths, Bazars and Witches' Caves Coined Money for the Church’s Coffers, OAKRLAND OFFICE SAN FRraNcisco CALL,} 908 Broadway, Sept. 11, As soon as the full, round moon was high enouzh above the Fruitvale bills to make a siiver pathway across Lake Mer- ntt to the Baker residence the’ scene of St. Paul’s open air fete became the cen- ter toward which the society flocked. Myriads of lanterns and gay electric lizhts illumined the grounds, and for blocks around the glare in the tky was all that was necessary to announce that some- thing unusual was in progress- at Thir- teenth and Madison streets. The last time a crowd gathered in that quarter was about four months ago, when the Baker and Adams mansions were wrecked with a sweeping fire. The Baker residence and grounds were the scene of to-nights fes- tivities, and there was nothing in evidence to recall the exciting evening of last April. Under the broad pepper trees -were quaint walks crowded with gay lanterns. The entire lower floor of the mansion was canvased and the .spacious drawing- rooms were given over to the young people until the hour of midnight pro- claimed the advent of the Sabbath day. The booths were well patronized and were worthy of it all. Mrs. Fred W. Hall and Mrs, E. A. Heron reaped a harvest for the church in their ice-cream booth. Mrs. James Allen is to be congratulated on the splendid musical programme she pre- pared. Mrs. George H. Wheaton was assisted by Miss Gertrude Alien, Miss Louise Sim- mons, Miss Marietta Haven<, Miss Ethel Kitiredge, Miss Harriet Kittredge, Miss E'sie Gregory, Misses Bertha and Elsie McElrath, Miss Elsie Marwedel, Miss Lilliun Toby, Mise Madderh, Mi-s Irene | Bangs and Miss Katheryne Brown. T eir duties are to preslde over the fortune-teli- ing booth. Mrs. 31m Breck and Mrs. Allardt gave the largest sandwiches for the money that were ever seen at a church fair, Mrs. Mark Requa and Mrs. A, Mosely were assi<ted by Miss Ida Belle Palmer, Miss Belite Mhoon, sMiss Myra Pra:her, Miss Vioiet Whitney and Miss McKee. They <eryed lemonade. It'was a thirsty nicht, and Dr. Woolsey wasé heard to remark that he bad dyunk over $8 wortn, while Rev. R. R. Ritchie regaled himself with nearly an .equai amount of chocolate at the booth where Mesdames W. E. Sharon, C. M. Converse, James McElrath and John Currier were in charge. L rs. L. L.

He even took a trip to San Mateo, where Boyle has a ranch, in the hope that he might find he had gone there to recuperate, out the journey | proved fruitiess. There zre some people who are inclined to the belief that he has committed suicide, but this scouted by his telatives and intimate friends.

Irving Kleis and Benjamin Silverberg Meet in the Orthodox Ring to Settle a Feud. standing Irving Kleis of 508 Kddy street and Benjamin Silverberg, 935 Post street, had a twelve-round set-to in the orthodox ring at the Velodrome last night in the presence of about fifty spectators. The figcht was a desjerate one from start to finish. At the call of time the men went at one another hammer and tongs. Silverberg planted a nose-ender and was sccorded he went for his man. Silverberg quite cleverly dodged several wick=d rights and visited Kieis’ tender nose a second time. At tbe call of time the men were fighting desperately in Kleis' corner. In the second, third and fourth rounds very little work was done by either con- testant. The fi{th ronnd opened by Silverberg landing some hbeavy body blows, which distressad Kie's. He stocd up bravely before the on- slaught and just as time was called smashed Silververs in the face, which staggered him. Bilverberg was the aggressor in the sixth, and at its conclusion Kleis was very weary. From thison to nearly the end of the eleventh rounu Silverberg hed much the better of the battle, ru-hing bis opponent about the ring, playing a tattoo cn his body and face. But the pace set by Siiver- berg was telling on him, for he was per- ceptibly weak when the men were crdered to their corners. : In the twelfih round Kleis recovered bis second wind. He smasbed Silverberg re- peateily on the face, and the latter’'s hands arorped and he grew groggy. The ref- eree stopped the fight and declared Kleis the victor. There is some talk of the men meeting again, as Silververg is confident that he can turn the tables on Kieis. The latter bad beea in training for the battle for two weeks.
