The Santa Cruz team is capable, with a live ball and on live grounds, of putting up a live game; but, notwithstanding their expertness and knowledze of the great outdoor sport of the country, it is impossible for the nine to bring out the finer features of the game under such disadvantazeous and unfaver- able circumstances as it is now playing. | — - Mincr Games.

Tue Olympies had come to the last in- Rileys s | ning with only one run to their credit and two men out. Sheehan stepped to the plaie and abided his time. Harvey, like a *'steel spring,”” opened and closed, the ball shot out like a bullet, and bang! resounded the bat of the leftfielder in the crisp November air. No one sezmed to see the ball. It had gone heavenward. Suddenly a white streak appeared in cen- ter fietd. 1t shot into the air like a me- teor, in Shanahan’s hands. Oh, what a shout went up! Not a soul in the grandstand or the bleachers had left his place, but when this great play was made, and the throng realized how ittingly a glorious season had closed, they arose as one and their shouts went up as high as Sheehan’sball had gone. it was a triumphant close of a grand series of games.

The Father of Triplets, He Threat- ened to Throw One of Them i Through a Window. Peter Kennedy, whose wife gave birth to triplets several days ago, was arrested | early yesterday morning and charged with { vagrancy. | Shortly after 2 o'clock Kennedy went home drunk and proceeded to abuse his wife. She threatened to call a policeman, whereupon Kennedy seiz:d one of the triplets and threatened to throw it out of the window. The woman’s screams attracted the at- tention of a neighbor, who wentin search of a police officer. Meeting Officer Heme- nez. she told him of Kenneay's threats, land he at once repaired tothe house. Failing to induce the unnatural father to ieave, the policeman seized him by the | coat collar and started to ejecthim. Ken- nedy, with an oath, turned on the guar- | dian of the peace and vainly endeavored | to throw him downstairs. Atter a desperate strugele Kennedy was finally secured and taken to the City | | Prison. | “Itisall my wife's fault,” he remarked | 9 in a maudlin'way. ‘‘She had me thrown in jail for nothing.” A short time ago the unfortunate woman was compelled to have Kennedy | urrested on account of his drunken hab- | its. | When he learved that she had given | birth to triplets he visitea her and en- | deavored to effect a reconciliation. Ken- | nedy promised to behave in the future, and on this condition she again agreed to | live with him. | " The following day he returned to his | home in an intoxicated condiiion and | proceeded to abuse his wife. Several of the neighbors interfered, and after con- siderable trouble succeeded *in ejecting him. It is the intention of the police to vigorously prosecute him on the charge of vagrancy. (OBEYED THE ORDER Nickel - in - the - 8lot Machinos Have Been Put on the Shelf. Saloon-Keepers and Oigar Men Are of . the Opinion That the Machines Must Go. The order which was issued by Chief Lees Saturday evening to those who owned nickel-in-the-slot muchines, stating that | that they must bs suppressed, seems to have accompilshed the purpose. A few who had the machines have not as yet re- moved them from the public gaze, but it is evident that they are aware that the order means bu iness and that sooner or Jater the little gambling devices mast be put on the shelf, there to await ‘‘better aays.'’ Some who have not complied with the order of the Chief of Police are evidently awaiting arrest, as it is probable that they will fieht the case. Scme muke the contention that machines have beeu fitted out with a full deck, or fifty-two curds, and that they are consequentiy not a lottery, ! ut just where this arrangement dodges the law is hard to determine and will possibly bs taken to the courts. However, the scarcity of machines on the saloon ba-s and cigar counters was very noticeab.e last evening and it is evi- dent that the men are a little frightened, and are awaiting for some other party to test the case, as it is known to be a rather expensive iuxury to test an crder of ihe autherities, e To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

Manufacturers’ Association Sur- prised and Thoroughly Disgusted. Police Officers Are Made to Stand a Frxed Price on Eastern- Made Headgear. There is what may be termed a big kick, with a sublued noise, over the new hel- mets worn by the police in this city. The majority of the people who witnessed the parade on last Tuesdey in which that splendid body of men were made to ap- pear more than usually attractive by hav- ing donned the blue helments for the first time, little knew that the blue helmet was not only decidedly distasteful to the men that were compelled to wear them, but also to the Merchants’ Association and the hatters of this ciiy. The cause of this “'big"” kick dates back to the time when Police Commissioner Mose Gunst, shortly after his appoint- ment, had the headgear of the force changed from an ordinary stiff hat to a helmet. The hats worn previous to this change were made and sold by Sau Francisco hat- ters. Thechange to the helmets deprived the trade in S.n Francisco of the privi- lege of entering into competition and threw the business into the Eastern mar- kets. The first consignment of helmetswas sold to the members of the force at $3 apiece. This price was not considered too much, but a second consignment, a few months later, called for $3 50, at which there was considerable grumbling by the men. Tne additional 50 cents for what they considered an inferior article was looked upon as an impo-ition and a hard- ship, so much so that K. A. Lundsirom sent East for a block pattern oi the hel- mret and also a case of unpressed felt, from which he produced a much better helmet than the New York one, and which he offered for sale at $3. But to his astonishment, he had no cus- tomers 1o speak of. Huving invested about $500in this line, and with no pos- sible returns appearing, he consulted the Manufacturers’ Association, of which he is a mem ber, to lay the matter before the Police Commissioners in the hope that, inasmuch as the police force, inciuding the Commissioners, salaries were contrib- uted by the people of San Francisco, it would be no more than fair that the mer- chants should haveatleast an equal show with Eastern hatters. Accompanying this petition two helmets were sent from Lundstrom’s store, which, it was admit- ted, were very superior to the ones in use. No answer was returned to the. Manu- facturer-’ Association or to Lunds rom on this request, and the matter, helmets and petition have been lost sight of in the I labyrinths of the Police Department at the City Hall. But an answer was given through another channel. It was throush the columns of THE CALL in which it appeared a few days previous to the big parade that the officers would don their new helmets :or the first time on that day. This announcement was correct. The blue helmets did appear, and with their appearance the last hope of the Manufac- turers’ Association and Hatter Lundstrom passed into space. The “kick,” tnis time, comes not only from the Manufacturers’ Association but from the officers who were compelled to merch into Korn’s store and have their craniums measured and the figures for- warded to New York, and when the nel- mets arrived step into the store and de- posit §3 50 for the prrvilege of wearing the blue siring that could be had from a San Francisco hatter for §3. The change in the helmets bad been kept a profound secret by the Police Com- missioners until the consignments had arrived and the men all supp! This is what has made the “kick” with the hatters in this city. They say that, inasmuch as they help to support the po- lice ofticers by 1axes and licenses, they should at least have had an opportunity of bidding on the sample, and by that means have an opportunity of ccmpeting with the Eastern factories. his has been done by the Fire Com- missioners who have ordered a change in the firemen's caps. This boay had circu- lar letters sent 10 every cap and bat store in the city notitying them of the proposed change and 1nviting bids upon the sample in the Chief's office at the City Hall. This is spoken of as being fair and hen- orable, but not so with the Police Com- missioners, who have completely ignored the San Francisco business men on the helmet deal. SUPPOSED TO BE SUICIDE. John Campbell, a Laborer, Died Sud- denly at the Potrero Yester- day Morning. The body of John Campbell, aged 50 years, lies in the Morgue, with the sus picion that deatnh was the result of his having taken poison. Campbell roomed at 50 Twentieth street, Potrero. On Saturday night about 9 o’clock he complained of having a burn- inz sensation in his stomach. Dr. James Simpson, whose office is close by, was called in to attend him, and after pre- scribing tor him he inquired of him what he had taken to cause his sufferings. The answer given was that he had taken a glass of whisky. About four hours after this Dr. Simpson was again summoned, but on his arrival he found Campbell dead. The case was reported to the Coroner, who had tte body removed to the Morgue, where an autopsy will be made to-day. The deceased was a_laborer and a wid- ower.

The Assailant Laid Up in Bed—An- other Bath Due to to John Barleycorn. Ifever a vessel was “‘boodooed,” it is the French steamer La Madeline. The Madeline will be remembered as the steamer on which a bloody duel cc- curred while she was on a former voyage here, the second mate being killed by the chief enzineer. That was the beginn/ng, Then the steamer ran into Beale- ~reot wharf, badly damaging that structure and ber own bows. But the troubie did not end with that. When she left here the last time she was obliged to put back once or twice on account of accidents to her machinery. Yesterday she reached this port, twenty- four days from Coleta Buena, Chile, with 2001 tons of nitrate of soda, consigned to W. R. Grace & Co., and she now lies off Vallejo-street wharf. In addition came a tale of fresh trouble. One of the sailors had got into an alterca- tion with a companion and had vainiy triel to thrusc a sheathknife into the oih- er's vitals. He was stopped by a kick in the stomach, and was Jaid up in conse- quence. George HBromley, a deckhand on the steamer Walter Hackett, lying at Mission wharf 1, fell into the bay yesterday while under the potent influence ot “John Bar- leycorn’’ and was taken to the Harbor Hospital to be pumped out. No visitors were allowed on the Orezon yesterday, because she has not finished unloading her ammunition. Most of it was placed in two scows and towed to Mare Island by the tender Unadilla. The schooner Neptune split her main- sail on her recent trip down the coast from Grays Harbor.

Hill; Hall and Hutchins Will Appear Before the Com- missioners, | | Suspended After Being Caught Red- Handed in° a Convenient Saloon. | e Police Officers John Hill, Hiram Hutch- ins ana Joseph Hall have been suspended by Captain Wittman pending an investi- gation by the Pclice Commissioners. They are accused o! engaging in the fes- tive game ol poker instead of patrolli | their respective beats. Recently a complaint was madeto Cap- tain Wittman that the accused officers were in the habit of neglecting their ng duties for the great American gume of poker. It was claimed that they would nightly meet in a North Be saloon | con 10us to their beats and engage in a game of “draw.”’ Shortly aiter 11 o’clock Saturday night | Sergeants Cook and Wolwebber, acting { under instructions from their superior | oon in search of the | officer, visited the ‘“gay’” policemen.

Cook informed them that they had committed | a serious breach of police discipline and informed them that they would have to answer for their conduct to Captain Wiit- held a full man. Yesterday afternoon the accused officers were summoned before Captain Wittman | and at once suspended. They will have a | chance to exvlain their conduct before the Police Commissioners at their meeting next Wednesday evening, Hall is one of the best known men in the department. He nas been on the force for nearly eighteen vears, and hasan ex- cellent record. Hill wus apyointed to the force about four years ago, and has maae several important caplur Hutching 1s known as the ‘‘terror of the Tender- loin.” For several years past his beat has been in the Teuderloin diatrict, and he was a terror to evil doers.
