THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1897. NEW LEAGUE A Bl SUGGESS Large Crowds and Lots of Enthusiasm at the Open- ing Games. Gilt Edges Victors Over the mpics After Nine Lively Innings. The Reliance Aggregation Succumb to Stocktons’ Superior Playing. Fully 1500 people watched the first came of the new league between the Gilt Fdge and the Olympic clubs at Snowflake Park at Sacramento yesterday, despite the | fact that the bicycle races drew away an immense crowd of the ball patrons. The Olympics plaved a splendid game, but adverse circumstances and a failure to connect with Harvey's erratic curves lost the game. They only circled the dia- mond three times while the husky Brew: ers tallied eleven runs. | The game was a snappy one from start to finish, replete with startling plays that beld the entire crowd in their seats until the last man was out and sent them home with voices that will not regain their nor- mal condition for some days to come. | In the first inning Harvey, the new Gilt von the heartsof the entire | out the first man up, | his infield disposed of the next two In the second half of the first, atter old Nick Smith had made a circuit of the bases, Farrell hit a hot liner into the hands of Brenning, who | to it and doubled up Hennessey at The crowd went wild with en- siasm. In the first hali of the fifth Nethercott stopped a hard hit grounder and threw short to telescope Hennessey at first, who, keeping his foot on the initial, let out two links and captured the ball off the eround with his left hand, and again the bleach- ers were heard from and batters in short order. secor 1 The eehan made a long run and i captured a hard-hit flv of Hennessey’s, re- ! tiring the side. Ford, the Olympic catcher, made a long run and captured a difficult foul close to the back fence.

The Stockton nine has been materially | strengthened by the acquisition of Mon- ahan, Peters and De Costa.

The lia boys gave them very poor support, however, and after the first few innings Moskiman and Hammond became care- less in ir playing. The gam- was marked by several errors on both sides.

The above score partially tells the story of agame in which runs were as scarce as provisions on the Klondike. The two runs that gave the home team their victory were scored in the third inn- ing on four out of five hits gained off Daubenb s’ delivery. The latter was still ed from his hard run in the pre- £, and when he stepped into the box his pitching lacked speed. The opposing batters took advantage of his weakness, as Collins caught the pitched ball cn the end of his stick and sent it over second for a neat singie. Hul- | derbrandt followed his example by land- ing the ball in the same spot. This ceemed to have a demoralizing effect on Daubenbis as he filled the bases by hitting Johnson with a pitched ball. Scott then flew out to left. Bliss be- came imbued with the batting streak and | jined the sphere past third, scoring Col- lins. Muller zepeated the performance with a hit in the same direction and Hil- Struek out Hic b Tassed balls—Ford 1 Umpire—J. McDonal derbrandt taliied. This ended the run- geiling, as the next {wo men were easy outs. During the remainder of the game Dan- benbis settied down, and aithough he was batted often, yet the Wili & Fincks could | no lund safely. In their half of the third the “Beach- combers” scored their first and only tally on a single, a base on balls and a sacrifice. The visitors seemed to be troubled with a fine case of “hood0o,” and some people were unkind enough to say that their ill Juck was due to the skv-blue smoking- jacket that Phil Knell insisted on wearing while on the coaching line. . Sireib made an “'impossible” catch in the eighth which spoiled the chances of the home team from scoring two runs, and he received an ovation. Smith, the Will & Fincks' shortstop, disting by hi- fine fielding and cle er stickwork. “The following score telis the rest of the story: R BH. SB. PO. A E D10 o | 4 ety Coilins, 1. 1.

Yesterday's cricket event was a novel and interesting game between an eleven representing the banks and insurance of- fices and a team of those engaged in other | business. The match was played at Ala- meda, and resuited in an easy victory for the general business contingent. Going first to bat the Rank-Insurance men, captained by Charley Hill, putup a modest total of 48. The small score was due mainly to the excellent bowling of Casidy. Dickincon, for the other side, made more than half tie required runs off his own bat, though he had a fortu- nate decision to telp him.

Captures the Coast Cham- pionship and the Mile Handicap. Allan Jones Defeats th= Northerner in the One-Third Mile Pro- fesslonal Event. SACRAMENTO, CaL, Sept. 26.—The cycle meet of the Capital City wheelmen here to-day drew a larze crowd to the track, which was greatly increased when the baseball game, the only rival attrac- tion, was concluded at 3 o’clock. A big crowd of San Francisco wheelmen came up to attend the meet, and returned higbly elated, as the Olympics won first place in every event of the day. The presence of three crack professionals new to Northern California tracks created | considerable interest. They were Vaughn and Palmer of San Diego and Sharick of Tacoma. Vaughn and Sharick proved to be very speedy men, although Allan Jones of San Francisco took their measure in the one-third-of-a-mile event. Sharick turned the tables on him by winning the mile professional handicap, and also the one-mile Pacific Coast championship, so that the honors of the day rested with him. In the amateur class none of the cracks | presant coula “hola a candle” to Wing of San Francisco. The most attract:ve event to the riders | was the one-mile Pacific Coast champion- ship, open to both amateurs and profes- sionals by special dispensation of the racing board. Two Keliance men took the first heat, Moit and Rosenheim finish- ing first and second. Wnitman took the <econd from Jones, who nearly fell at the Downing won the tuird heat, Wyman second. Sharick, Elford and Deacon, by pacing the three heats respectively, were piaced in the final. The final was hotly contested and re- sulted 1in a victory for George Sharick of Tacoma, who thereby earned the title of Pacific Coast chamvpion. Sharick, Wy- man, Downing, Mott, Eltord, Waitman | and Deacon siarted in the final, Sharick { taking tue lead near the finish and win- Downing ran second by a ninz handily. : Deacon third. The time close margin, as 2:98. Next to the mile Pacific Coast cham- pionship the eve-ntof the day was the one- mile professional handicap of the Califor- nia Associated Cycling Ciubs for & purse | of $25¢ It was run in one heat, the start- ers and their handicaps veing Jones, Sharick and Vaughn, scratch: Downing yard 100, Brereton 120, Bleuler 150, At the start the scrat nating with Vaughn and Snarick. The limit_men were soon bunched together, and Jones jumped his bunch and caught them. Bleuler led all the way up to the last bank, Jones in fifth place, Sharick h. When the sprnint for home came ter winning by a wheel’s length from Jones, who was equally as far ahead of Paimer, Whitman taking fourth. Shar- time from the scratch mark was 10 3->—remarkably fast considering the strong wina blowinz. Jones of San Fraucisco, Sharick of Ta- coma, Vaughn of San Diego and Downing of San Jose qualified for the final of the third of a mile event Vaughn jumped to the front at the start and held ihe lead turning into the home stretch. when Jones gradually forged to the front and won by a scant margin. Sharick was a close third. Time, : Mott, Fuliett, Wing, Leiteh, Squires, Russ and Hirsch qualified for the tinal of the amateur hali-mi'e. Russ was thrown on the first turn, but escaped any injuries. The finish was sensational. Wing was in froat on the last bank when Leitch came on with a rush and showed in iront for a time. Then Hirsch came up and George Fuller also shoved his way througn the bunch. Wing forged ahead in the last length and won by inches, Fuller eetting second, Hirsch third. Time, 1:13 4-5. Wing also placed to his credit the iwo - mile handicap in his class, defeating a biz field. Bird- sall, Thiesen, Wallace, Wing, Hallauer, Wyman, Payne and Peck qualified in the preliminary heats. Birdsall fell in the tinal and Peck ran off the track to save himself. Wing, who had ied for the last two laps, won as he pleaced, Wyman and Theisen closely following. 5 e following is the summary: One mile championship, California Asso- cintet Cycling clubs.

He Repented and Afterward Sent His Savior a Substantial Reward. Another Case of Accidental Immer-! sion—The Fearless’ Big Catch. An Anchor Found. Two casualties in the way of drowning in the murky waters of the bay were avoided, one yesterday and the other a day or two before, only by the presence at the fina! moment of men who knew what to do and dit it. Oneof these cases is surrounded with an air of mystery, and points to an intention of suicide on the part of one whose generosity afterward would show him to be a man in well- to-do circumstances who repented of his rash act. Boatman *“Jimmy’’ Farrell had taken a sailor off to a ship last Friday night, and was in the act of returning to the wharf, when he heard a man feebly calling for help. Turning his boat in the direction of the sound he put in toward Broadway wharf, and near the end of the pier per- ceived a man in the water. The man was about exhausted. Farrell managed to reach the man in time and get him into ihe boat and safely to the wharl. When he reached there herefused to give his nane and why he came (o be in the water. Yesterday a messenger boy came down to the wharf and asked for Farrell. He final y found him and gave him a consid- erable sum of money and by proxy the thanks of the man whom he had rescued two nights before. All inquiries as to who the man was were in vain, as the boy had evidently been coached to keep his mouth closed on that subject. The second rescue was made yesterday by a young fellow named Snelling. He had gone to the Merchants’ Exchange with the manifest of a ship’s cargo for Keporter Daniel O'Connell, and was on his way back to Meizgs wharf when he heard a man’s cries. The voice seemed to come from near the schooner Amethyst, lying at section B of the seawal. He ran there at once and perceived a sailor in the water. A rope was thrown the man and he was hauied on board the sctooner. He gave his name as Lauren- sen and said e was leaning over the rail and fell in. He was unable to swim and help came just in the nick of time. The British ship St. Mirren heaved her anchor and started for sea yesterday. She had been anchored in the region of Meiggs wharf, but when she got mear Fort Point it was discovered tbat another anchor anc chain was artached to ths ship’s anchor. The tug Active, which was doing the towing, blew her whistle for help, and the Reliance was soon on the scene. The Reliance took the anchor and chain, worth in the neighborhood of $100, to the wharf. The British ship Merioneth, Captain Rowlands, 144 days from Swansea, with wound. Officer J. J. Crowley arrested the | coal for Baliour, Guthrie & Co., arrived knife-thrower, yesterday. HAS HANDLED NANY LEPERS Dr. Watts of London Stud- ied the Disease Seven Years. Is Now Here on His Way Home From Lazarettos of Australasia, Says Leprosy Is Not Contagious and Can Absolutely Be Warded Off. A man who has studied leprosy for the last seven yearsis at the Occidental Hotel on his way home to London to write a thesis on the subject fur the purpose of at- taining the degree of Feilow of the Royal College of Physicians. He is Dr. W. C. Watts, B. A., Balial Colleze, Oxford; M.D., Guy’s Hospital. London; member of the Royal College of Surgeons, and Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians. He arrived here in the latest steamer from Australia. Discussing leprosy and his extensive in- vestigations of the disease in Australasia, Le said yesterday : “‘Leprosy is absolutely not contagious. How the bacilli enter the body is not yet known to medical men. Whether it is througn the air, through the handling of a leprous person, or through closer physi- cal contact has veen the question. “I do not think the disease can be con- tracted from simple handling of a leper. 1 bave handled many. “Leprosy is on the decrease in Aus- tralasia. This is so because of careful medical regulationsto prevent its spread- ing. ‘“‘Generally speaking, leprosy is not a bit more contagious now than it was in the time of Christ. Egypt to-day swarms with leyers who go about freely :ouciting alms. They keep you at a distance by a stick at the end of whnich there isa little bag mnto which you may drop coins. *I contend that leprosy is simply an advanced form of syphillis. Syphilis leads to it. A tendency toward leprosy can absolutely be stopped before it reaches that stage. It takes two years to prove a case of leprosy that is deveioping. “Leprosy is finally plainly indicated by a tiny biue scale close in against the ba-e of the finger naile, These scales peel off. I visited all the lazarettos in Austral- asia. There are four in Queensland, with a total of seventy-two lepers; three in Vic- toria, with a total of forty-two, a few of whom are yet questioned; one in New Zealand, with twenty-eizht, 5 per cent of whom are still undetermined, and one in New South Wales, with thirty-seven. “The New Bouth Wales lazaretto is at Littie Bay. Itis maintained by the Gov- ernment and is an admiraple institution. I spent nine months there. Through the courtesy of Dr. Ashburton Thomas, the Government Heaith Inspector, was granted special permission to make an ex- tended examination of the patients. “This lazarettois admirably located and faces directly upon the deep waters of the bay. The lepers are kept isolated from the attendants at the station. Their food is sent in to them by a little trolley system. The doctor inspec's them as they stand | within a barred corridor. “The regulations require that persons entering the buildings shall wear rubber masks and rubber gioves as an extra pre- caution. I took both mask and gloves off and freely handled the lepers, and 1 have not leprosy. 2 “The lepers in all these lazarettos are for the most part Chinamen. At Little Bay, however, there is a colonel of the English army. He has been there for four years. I could not ascertain his name.
