The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, November 1, 1897, Page 10

FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1 THE BLEACHERS — 3 THEFRESNG ROOTED s HARITY covers a multitude of ‘ sins,”” but the mask of charity covering the face of avarice can- not deceive the baseball public, nor base- ball men, and so in the face of tnat great- estaf virtues the Kresno Baseball Club withdrew from the Examiner tournament and played for a decent management at Recreation Park. 1t was all because of the coarse work at yesterday’s game and the way in which petitions for redress were received. These coming upon. endless petty annoyances and injustices impelled the team to leave its yellow associations. San Francisco never saw such excite- ment in baseball circles as was witnessed yesterday. ‘I'HE CayL published the story jand everything would be as lovely as a | wedding breakfast. | Among the visitors from Fresno was H. 0. B. Gill. He is a member of the Fresno Track Association on whose grounds the games are played in Fresno. Mr. Gill at first favored p.aying at Central Park, and tried to induce the nine to appear at those | | grounds, but the ball-tossers were obdu- | rate. Uunder no conditions woutd they play at Central Park. They emphaticaily declared that they had never, notwith- standing that the games were for charity, received a square deal there, except when thev played with Bakersteld.. The pall- players toaman stood by their manager, Joseph Shea, who has done 80 much to make the aggresation a strong one, It . E SRR SUMMONED vellow as the tournament which he played in.

Then it was :ihat the promoters of the Central Park tournament resorted-to in- timidation. Manager Shea tells elsewners the story over his own signature. As the hour for. the game to be plaved at Central Park approached, about 1500 of the disgraceful proceedingsat the game Central Park Saturday afternoon, wherein Umpire Tip O'Neill in many rank | decisions brought cefeat to the Kresno Republicans, Tur Carralso stated that the Fresno Re- publicans would undoubtedly appear at | Puil Kneil as their spokesman, ably sec- onded by Fitzpatrick’s stentorian tones, For a time it looked asif Saturday’'s performance would be repeated, but ths | kickers were prevailed on to submit, wh.ch they did with bad grace.

The Fresno Rebublican Baseball Ciub (of which I am manager in fact as well as 1n name) was schedule ‘o play two games at Central Park in this city on October 30 and 31, with the California Markets on Saturday, October 30, and with Santa Cruz on Sunday, October 31, said schedule being arranged according to the Examiner tourua- ment committee and adopted by the various clubs plaving in the tournament. In Saturday’s game with the California Markets, there is no doubt in my mind that we were jobbed out of the game. The decisions of Unipire O'Neiil on balls and strikes, as well as a decision at the plate in which he prevented the Fresno team from scoring, had every indication of a job hbeing perpetrated.to defeat the Fresno Republicans. The Fresno Republican team finally concluded to play the game out simply to secure their portion of the gate receipts, and for no other reason, Mr. McNeill tried to have us play the game out and file a protest with the committee conduciing the tournament. We already have a protest filed with the committee, together with the signatures of 500 representative citizensof Fresno, asking fur a hearing, but up to the present writing they have not given us a hearing. Their organ, the Examiner, has never seen fit to even mention the fact that we have filed a protest with the tournzment committee. Seid protest refers to the game played with the Alerts of Alameda in this city. There is no use to:file a pro- test with the committee conducting the Examiner tournament, as the whole thing looks to be cut and dried for s certain team in the tournament to win, and I have no hesitancy in mentioningthe team I refer to—the Bushnel!l Alerts of Alameda, In regard to playing at Recreation Park in this city yesterday, I will sav it was only arranged Sunday morni d at the request of every man playing in the team. They were simply disgusted at the treat. ment they received at Central Park, and withdrew from the tournament. Through the Kindness of the Recieation Park management it allowed us the privilege of playing an exhibition game with the winner . of the Reliance and Olympic game, so as to enable the Fresno Republican team to cover expenses on the trip, and for no other reason. The kindness of the manage ment is hereby publicly acknowiedged by me. I will nuw ciose my statement by referring to a threat made by Mr. McNeill of ‘the Examiner tourna- ment cc In view of the fact that I had arranged to have the team play at Eighth and Harrison streets, ) McNeill met me in front of the Golden West Hote! in this city at 1 o’clock yesterday, and- said he would have the Examiner burn me up as a man void of principle and ‘honor, and would ses to it per- sonally that I would never play ball in this State azain or have any connection with any feam playing in t he State.

They promised everything if Fresno would only play. 1f this consummation, voutly to be wished, came to pass Tip "Neill sioould never appear on the grounds again.

He Lies in Ambush With a Loaded Revolver Awaiting for His Sweet- heart to Appear. Antonio Pecci was arrested by Officer J(_:y on Hayes and Gough streets last night and charged with carrying a con- cealed weapon. The officer was informed by Annitta Gilmatti, a young woman empioyed in the Standard Shirt Factory, that Pecci had threatened to kill her and also the'man who should marry ber, unless she became his wife. This she refused to do under this line of persuasion, and as a result Pecci waited for her last night while she was visiting a_iriend’s home on Van Ness avenue and Hayes street. He lay n ambush for her when discovered by the officer who placed him under arrest. Previous to last nigit's occurrence he threatened to kill her and in his anger he siapped her face. For this she will prose- cute him for battery. He said to Officer Joy that he did not mind going to San Quentin so long as he got even with the girl who'refused to become his wife. When searched at the Central police station a loaded pistol was found in his hip pocket. The girl says she never gave her jealous lover any encouragement, which would lead bim to believe that she intended to marry him. Their acquaintance was uothing more than social friendliness, and was of short duration. ———————— T Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tabiets.

About the middle of August Mr. Smurr | contracted a slight cold that settled in his ear and gave him considerable pain at iimes. - For a time no attention was paid to the ailment, but the case grew worse and the family pbysician, Dr. Storrer, was called in. Upon his advice Mr. Smurr left his business and went home to rest and recover. The trouble grew worse and Dr. Overend, a specialist, was called into consultation and several operations were performed upon Mr. Smurr's ear. - While he was up and around, he was kept away from his office by the other officials in the company. On last Thursday Mr. Smurr became so 1 sick that it was necessary for him to re- | main in bed. On Saturday Drs. Gardner, Powers and Paine were called in to con- | sult with the otbersand it was thought | best to perform another operation upon | hisear. By Sundsy morning the physi- | clans considered the case asserious in- | deed. The patient’s temperature was at | & high degree and the doctors knew that the ailment had gone beyond the ear into the brain, although they we«e confident of bringing the sufferer through eventually, and the sufferer gradually sank until tne ! hour of his death. Tne deceased was one of the most prom- inent railrodd men in the United States, for he iransacted business for his company all over the land. All who have met bhim acknowled ge that he was as shrewd as any in a matter relating to his line of business and he hadthe highest confidence of his employers and associ- ates. Mr. Smurr was 48 years old. He was born in Orange, Ohio, April 1, 1849, He entered into the ra:lroad business under J. C. Stubbs, now the third vice-presi~ dent of the Southern Facific, many vears ago on the old Pan-Handle !ine in Penn- sylvania, and twenty years ago he came to this State with his friend and entered tiie service of the company last named. Mr. Stubbs says that Mr. Smurr has has filled every position in the road from clerk to the important place that he lasr Leld as traffic manager, which position he held siuce 1889. During the most of his time in this State he resided in Los Angeles, to which place he was greatly attached. It was there that he buried his first-born son, and he expressed the wish (o be buried near the chi'd’s body. While: there he also became a Mason, and at the time of his death he was still affiliated with the Los Angeles lodge. While there has not been time to make | arrangements for the funeral it 1s very | likely that his body will be taken to the city he loved for interment. At present the plan is to have Masonic servicas at the family residence on next Wednesday, and immediately forward the remains to the south, where the Los Angeles Masons will cake final charge. Deceased leaves a widow and one son, now 19 years f ace. INGLESIDE RACES T0-DAY Barney Schreiber Arrives and Will Hang Up His Slate. | University Stake the Feature of the | Card—Probable Winners in the Different Events. On last evening’s overland train Barney Schreiber, the jovial St. Louis pool-seller, arrived, and there was generzl rejoicing among the overnight racing fraternity. Barney is very popular among all classes | of race-goers, and nearly lost his right | arm shaking hands with his many ! friend. He brought along with him Johnny Woods, the crack hghtweight, who has nearly replaced Felix Carr in the big book-maker’s affections. Woods was the preminm lightweight of the West, | and, it is claimed, now rides with the judgment of a veteran knight of the sad- dle. Mr. Schreiber stated thst his string racing at St. Louis ‘mearly: drove him crazy, but that with Jockey Woods, Grey- hurst and Sorrow he more than recouped his losses at Harlem track. His old light- weight rider, Slaughter, has fally recov- ered from his St. Louis accident, but will probably never ride again. s Regarding the recent Hawthorne track deal Mr. Schreiber was rather reticent, but said the outlook for racing around Chicago next vear was very bright. Wash- inglon Park Association would like to race again, and the probabilities are that a special session of the gisluture will pass a bill allowing the sport to proceed as in the olden day«, Barney's slate will bé hung up to-day at Ingles de. Billy b"erly1 the well-known penciler, also arrived on last night’s overland. Guessing the winner to-day is purely problematical, as no doubt many norses will be started short of work or still un- accustomed to our climate.
