On the whole, Ewing surprised the cranks with the strength of his team fully as much as did Manager McGlynn of San Jose. With the exception of Monahan, who layed center, and H. Krug, who pitched, San Francisco presented the same team as on Saturday. The changes were bene- fictal, for the locals put up such a game as won the championship for them last | vear.

But the star feature of the day was con tributed by Henry Krug in the ninth in- ning. O'Neil, who had been sending up sky-rocket 1l day, changed tactics when_he went'to bat for the last time and drove a liner that would have sunk a Spanish battleship had it struck broad- side on. It was a solid shot and had a muzzle_velocity of 300,000 feet a Krug didn't have time to dodge i | fortunately his hands were still raf ter delivering the ball, and as it came back it _struck his palms—and stuck to them. It was a wonderful catch and it set the spectators into howls of applause. It is small wonder that with such base- ball dished up to them the cranks had lit- tle time to devote to admiring Pugilist Jeffries, who was escorted on the dia- mond by the Colonel and assisted Jim McDonald in umpliring. Jeffries only gave one decision; he called a runner safe at first, which met with such marked dis iavor from the kindergarten that he dim creetly retired and watched the rest of the game from the players’ bench. San Francisco was first up and scored on Lange's low throw to first of Mona- han’s hot grounder, which he fielded in excellent shape. Murphy drove out a double to left field fence, sending Mona han home. Karl Krug popped up a fly which Shea dropped, but recovered in time to cut Murphy off at third, and al- though Krug got around to Lange's cor- ner on Hearty's single, Brockhoff could not get home. to short, which Kelly partly blocked but couldn't get. Lou was sherificed to second and scored on Dean’s long single to right. There was no change in the score until the sixth, when the locals got a man around after two were out. Karl Krug drove a double to right for two cushions, and Hearty was safe on Smeer’s fumbie of his grounder. Krug was held at se ond, and the ball was returned to Moski- mon, who snapped it down to O'Nelil, catching Krug asleep. Tip threw the ball back to Muskimon, who whirled ana layed the same trick on Hearty at first. ‘hen Ne doffed his cap in response to the cheers. Brockhoff was safe on Lange's low throw to first after making a great ick-up of his grounder, and scored on elly’'s double to right. Oakland took the lead in its half, Smeer making a single and Lange being given his base. Hardie Fmilsheg out a double, Smeer scoring, and Lange came home when Monahan dropped Shea’s fly. In the eighth San Francisco _won the game, when, with two men out, Brockhoff reached second on Smeer’s fumble. Kelly hit to short, and Brockhoff started to third. The ball beat him there and he turned back to second. He made the bag, but hurt his ankle so that he had to re- tire, Conley being substituted. Stroecker scored both runners with a triple to cen- ter, and though the Colts tried desperately to pull out they were unable to make an- other run. The score follow Oakland— AB. R. BH. SB. PO.

The game was called in the middle | the seventh inning, as the visiting play- ers were compelled to catch the 4 o'clock train for Sacramento. Neither team played the men the managers expected to have on the diamond, and the game was not_characterized by brilliant play- ing on the part of either nine.

Dr. Gordin, 514 Pine street, San Francisco, o According to Superin- Q| tendent Hayes of the ©Oakland Asylum for the Adult Blind the institu- o tion is runmning behind because of bad laws, which handicap the management from buy- ing raw material in the open market. There isa shortage of 81987 26 in one fund, and this is be- ing increased because the factory is compelled to ruu on a basis that forces the sale of breoms that cost 81 31 at 90 cents. Secretary of State L. K. Brown has just com- pleted an investigation of the institution, and he charges that there is gross mismanagement, although he exomerates | the superintendent and | blames the board of dia rectors and the bad laws. He says the shortage is $6000, and that the place is conducted without dis- cipline or sound business management, some in- mates being gifted with wealth and good eye- sight. 000000000002 00000000000 o 0000000000000 0OV00000000000000000000000000 0000000000 00000000 Unless all signs fail there will soon be a thorough revision of matters con- nected with the Adult Asylum for the Blind in Oakland. Superintendent Hayes says the busi- ness results are necessarily bad, the laws governing the institution being cumbersome, antiquated and a handi- cap to business methods. Secretary of State L. H. Brown un- hesitatingly declares that his recent in- vestigations have shown an “astound- ing state of affairs,” and makes sweep- ing charges of mismanagement, while Expert Lewis laughed in his sleeve as he read the figures that showed how brooms are being made for $1 31, and sold in the markets at 90 cents, simply because the law says that brooms must be made and sold, and that the factory must run. “This means that we are losing right along,” Superintendent Hayes said last night. *“My books shows that there is a deficit of §1987 26 for this year, and the loss must grow greater as the fac- tory continues.” To make the conclusions of the three men heretofore quoted clear to the public it should be explained that there run continuously, the broom corn and other raw materials being bought by contract. According to Superintendent Hayes this is a great handicap. He says he has received offers of corn at a cost of $33 a ton less than 1s being paid here, the offers coming from the East. The other factor in the case that mili- tates against the local institution is that the blind men workslowly with the best material, and their goods have to ‘Jcome in competition with poorer ma- is a law that compels the institution to| BLIND TEN ARE LED BY INCOMPETENTS Many Leaks Result in a Deficit of Six Thou- - sand Dollars.

Continuing, he | sald that the place was economically | managed. “We feed the inmates at a cost of 25 cents per capita per day, and | feed them well. I file away all bills ofi fare and the food list shows such things | daily as oatmeal. mush, boiled hal’n,l toast and eggs for the sick, roast mut- ton, potatoes, beans, fruit and tea, cof- 1 defy any one to show | that there is any extravagance or suf- | fering, but the simple fact is that the | brooms which we are obliged to sell at | net a loss right along.” A summary of the figures now in the hands of the State Board of Examin- | ers shows the following: Cash receipts | from factory from July 1 to March 16, balance on hand, $81194: un- paid bills, $708177; bills receivable, | ; raw material, $1300, showing a total deficit of $1987 26. Speaking of the situation last night “In the first place there are quite a number of people maintained there by the State who should not be there. As I entered for instance, I saw one of the inmates reading a paper without lasses. NoWw I believe that there should e no one admitted there who is not to- tally biind. In the next place there are several of the inmates who have money deposited in the bank. One of them is worth $40,000, and yet he is fed and cared for by the State without a cent's cost to him. There should be such a change in the law as would enable the Directors to compel people who are able to pay something for their keep- ing. Of course so far as the indigent are concerned the State always has and always will provide for them. “In the next place there is a total lack of discipline. The inmates go and come as they see fit without even giv- ing notice when they depart. So far as the management of the broom fac- tory is concerned, there is certainly a chance for some decided improvements. They are now paying $30 a ton more for their broom straw than private fac- tories pay. When I asked about this strange and unbusinesslike state of af- fairs they informed me that it was due to a combination made among the bid- ders. An Eastern firm offered to fur- nish them with broom corn for $60 per ton, and they are paying $90 for it, and the contract will run until next June. On the other hand, there is not an item about the institution which is not paid for almost in the same pro- portion. I do not want to be under- stood as claiming that there is any- thing like a concerted plan to rob the State, but I do claim that some very decided changes should be inaugurated in the management of the business portion of the concern or there is no telling where the drain will finally flow. “They are now $6000 behind in their broom fund, and that after operating but ten months. To be exact, there are now on file in the office of the State Controller claims to the amount of $6270, and there is not a dollar in the fund to pay them. I believe there is something like a few hundred dollars’ worth of stock on hand, but it is not enough to pay the inmates the back pay which is due them. “There was once a system there by which the inmates were not paid a| very fancy price for their labor, but no charge was made for their board and lodging. The new board raised the SPECIAL SALE OF FINE GERMAN LINEN®! We have just received direct from the manufacturers in GERMANY a very large shipment of extra quality Housekeeping Linens, and commencing MONDAY, March 28, will offer the same at lower prices than similar goods have ever been sold at in San Francisco.

There are 108 inmates there in all—90 males and 18 females. The latter can only be employed in making whisk brooms and toy brooms, and are lucky if they earn 15 cents a day. “Most of them range from fifty years up, and to expect them to earn enough to sustain the broom factory under the present conditions is out of the ques- tion. All of their machinery is old- fashioned, and it is simply impossible for them to make ¢ - article that will compete with the product of modern machinery. They are working as light as they can now, and of course there is no hope of them paying up this $6000 shortage. It will have to be done by allowin~ a deficiency. The State ap- propriated $45,000 for the two years, but of course none of that could be used for paying the deficiency in the broom factory fund. That is for the mainte- nance and general support of the insti- tution; I have always understood that there was not much politics in the management of the institution, but I noticed that ou" of the twenty-two em- ployes there are only five of the old ones left since the board became Dem- ocratic.” When asked how long the directors had been paying $30 per ton more than any one else for broom corn, , Mr. Brown replied “Two year: “They claim a defect in the law, do they not?"” *‘Yes." “Then why was the law not remedied at the last session of the Legislature?” “You will have to ask me something easier,” answered Mr. Brown, and con- tinuing, said: ‘“Had they secured such amendments as they claim will be nec- essary before they can purchase as any one else purchases, they would have saved $3000 on their last contract, as they buy about 100 tons per year. An- other thing I noticed, and that was while there has been only an increase of twelve inmates in 1897 over 1896, the increase in the pay to inmates of 1897 as compared to 1896 is $2260. Of course 1 do not pretend to say that such an increase was a prover one, but it looks a little unreasonable to an unpreju- diced mind.” In speaking of the Superintendent, Mr. Brown said: “I do not wish to be understood as-implicating Mr. Hayes in any of these transactions wherein the State has paid out 30 per cent more money for material than a private in- dividual would have to pay. I only know that my investigations show that such has been the practice, and such is the practice in vogue there to-day, and if there are good reasons for it, T pre- sume the Directors will be pleased to make them known. . “At any rate there should be some very decided changes in the present law governing the institution.” The Home Trainer Contest. The result of the home trainer contest of the Olympic Club Wheelmen, which took place Saturday evening, is as fol- lows: First place won by Bert Bean in ten minutes covering 8% miles, his fastest mile being ridden in fifty-five seconds.
