The two courses were the principai events of the day, and in consequence the form players were thrown off their feet. J. Dean, the owner of the hounds, was not greatly surprised at the defeat of Connemara, as that dog has been carry- ing considerable surplus fat for a few weeks, but when Moondyne went down to Flashlight, who won the purse, the owner | was unablé to account for the defeat with | the exception that the hare favored ihe winner to a great extent. _The puppy stake created consiierable interest, but the many fleet old dog3 and the splendid condition of the hares were the main topic of conversation.

Why should ; the glorious springtime be the signal for a deluge | of physic, and the golden harvest be associated with the excessive drinking | of rum and whiskey disguised as bit~ | ters? Medicine should only be given | to the sick, and should always be ad- | ministered with gentleness and dis- | cretion. Medicine should be to Nature only a delicate rebulke of error and a | kind encouragement of the physical | forces for good. The hard work of re- | covery is done by Nature itself. The | human body is more delicate than the | finest mechanism, more sensitive than | the tenderest plant. To shatter the | liver with mercury, to madden the | nerves with morphine and chloral, and i to flay and burn the stomach with | every poison blaclk-listed with skull and cross-bones, is torture more demonic | than the Inquisition. This is a world of compensations. For every valley there is a correspond- | ing mountain, for every darkness there is a corresponding light, and for every | disease there is a corresponding cure. Not all such cures have yet been found, but Munyon has discovered fifty-seven of them. Each one of Munyon's cures articular disease, and for nothing else.

To him all glory {s due. Did he not lay aside his toga and hie himself to Central Park yesterday and bat the Olympics to victory? Did he not with ease of manner accept the glances of the fair sex and the swift speeding ball while playing the initial position? Ay, that and more. Cor- bett endeared himself to the baseball en- thusiasts by accepting fourteen chances without an error, a record that would, if brought to the notice of his constitu- ents, send him to Washington by an overwhelming majority. The news that the actor-pugilist-states- man was to appear on the diamond acted as a lodestone in attracting nearly 3000 of both sexes to the grounds; principally the fair sex. The latter seemed to have been carried away with Pompadour Jim's graces, and many were the kindly re- marks that sped toward him. “Isn’t he ust lovely?” *“‘On, he's just too clever 'or anything,”” and so on throughout the game. The tall ‘Naval Cadet” could not come to the bat without receiving an ovation, and when he made a brilliant lay the sound that arose over Central Bark was like a park of artillery saluting the incoming Span! flotilla.

Had his searchlights not been in such good condition the game would probably have extended into the dinner hour and dark- without either side scoring. Sacramento made its initial appearance | on the local grounds and though Manager Young took home a little white alley, the first shut-out of the season, the defeat of his giantsisnodiscredit. They played abril- liant game as shown by the manner in which they held the Colts down, but they were handicapped by having to face aport side pitcher, and as the majority of the Giants are left-handed batters they were completely at his mercy. Three widely scattered singles, one of them being very much on the scratch order, were all they could muster, while seven of them tore large rents in the atmosphere. They are a good aggregation and when they round to into form they will make the best of the other members of the Call- fornia Ledgue realize they have been to a ball game. Pitt gives promise of develop- ing into one of the fastest pitchers in the league. He has wonderful speed, remind- ing one of Borchers in his paimy days, be- sides excellent control as a rule. Yester- day he went into the game without hav- ing done any preliminary work to speak of this season, and held the Oakland slug- gers down to ten hits, divided up among six innings. There is not a point in the team that can be pronounced weak in flelding, and all have records as heavy willow-wielders. The Colts show up to better advantage each game they play, and Manager Ew- g is already drawing pictures of the disposition he will make of the cham- pionshlg pennant. No argument can shake his belief that the trophy is al- ready within his grasp. With Russell to hold down opposing batters and his aids 5 to punc thog h Ewing had cause for his optimis- tic_views. What a game It was yesterday! Sat- urday’s afiair was fast enough to_suit the most exacting crank, but yesterday's ame went it one better. Recreation ark is_rapidly becoming noted for its| ng contests, but the latest game kept the spectators In a con- stant roar. Played in an hour and twenty-five minutes, with the score at the close standing 3 to 0 in favor of the Colts, everybody present knew he had seen a ball game. Besides Russell and Hardie, Moskiman, Oakiand’s change pitcher, took a leading part in the game. Owing 'to the illness of Fred Lange's wife Dean was sent to third, and Moski- man to the middle pasture. Two hits out of four times up was his record with the stick, while two put outs and an assist constituted his outside work. But it wus the assist that earned him a great round of applause. With one out Edwards reached second on a muffed fly and assed ball. Caverly was hit by a pitched gnll and went to first. Hoagland lifted a high fly out to right center, which Mos- kiman plucked and shot the ball away over to third ahead of Edwards, who started for that cushion as soon as the sphere was captured. It was a wonderful throw, equaling that of Lou Hardie's a week ago. While none of the Giants did anythin, worth _mentioning with the bat, they all showed up strong in the field, with the };nulble exception of Edwards, but as he rad not touched a ball before this sea- son it was hardly to be expected that he would play up to his gait. For three innings the game was of the whirlwind order, then the Colts broke the ice. Hardie led off with a double and scored on Russell’s single. The latter got to third because of Edwards' faflure to block his hit, but the next three men u; :]nuld not get him home. Pretty fast bnlf’. hat. Two more tallies in the sixth terminat- the run-getting. Schmeer was safe on Smith’s high throw to first, and Har- him across tha close and excitl h cut runs, it certainly looks as | case of hoodoo that has been witnessed upon the grounds for many seasons. | Starting out with two runs, San Jose | counted on an easy time, but they were | lfinornut of the fact that Jim had a rab- | bit's foot in his pocket, and to him they | artially owe their defeat. Knell was rst up for Olympic, and reached first on a single, and was advanced to second on MecCarthy’s fumble. Corbett sent a swift rounder to second and White was orced, Phil coming home on the play. Steffani began his presentation of bases on balls by letting Hilderbrand walk. Muller then bunted to third and fillea the bags on Foley's error. Bliss flew out to right, and the moment the ball was cap- | tured he flew home, beating the sphere | by am inch. Johnson then endeu the in-| ning by going out on a bunt to first. 1 In’ the second Olympic scored another, | and things quieted down till t.e fifth, | when San Jose alighted on Knell's deliv- ery for four long hits, scoring three runs. Every spare moment of Jim's time was spent in rubbing the hare's foot in the hope of changing things, but no fruit was borne till the seventh, when, by an extra rub, fortune turned. Johnson was hit by Steffani, Scott singled and reached third on the throw home to catch Johnson. Smith was given a life and stole second. Knell sent a liner to center and Johnson | and Scott scored. White struck out and then mighty Jim came to bat. Taking a grip on the ash he vowed to do or die. He | caught a nice low one and raised it over second and Smith_and Knell came home, tieing the score. In his attempt to reach second Jim was retired. In the eighth Steffani suffered some more. Scott singled, took third on Smith's two-bagger and both scored on Knell's two-cushioned strike over the fence. In their half of the ninth San Jose tried to overcome the lead, but the hoodoo was | too great. McGucken reached first on a | hit and was scored on Foley’s two-bagger. | Thin, looked rosy for an extra inning, but Greeniger flew out to right, explog- ing the visitors’ hopes. Althou%h striking out seven men Btef- | fani pitched a poor game. He repeatedly hit the batters or gave them bases on balls, and to this may be attributed San Jose's defeat. Knell pitched a steady game and proved an easy thing for his opponents. Good fielding alone saved him. McCarthy easily played the star game from his side, while, next to Corbett, White deserves honor- able mention. Following is the score: AB. R. BH. SB. PO. A.

Police Think it May Have Been an Attempted Murder, but the ‘Woman Blames Herself. i g SO N | Mrs. Willlam Schuld, known as Pearl | Hathaway, an employe of the Midway, on Market street, was wounded by a bul- | let on Saturday night. Though it is gen- erally believed she attempted suicide, her husband is now being held on suspicion of having shot her in a fit of jealousy. As soon as the news of the affair came to the knowledge of the police Detective Crockett was detailed on the case. He | called at their apartments in a rooming | house at 12 Mason street and unceremoni- | ously ordered Schuld to leave his bed and | accompany him to police headquarters. Mrs. Schuld is in no particular danger, as the bullet entered her hip, causing a slight flesh wound. Dr. A. P. O'Brien has attended her and yesterday she was able | to leave her bed and move around her apartments. In speaking of the affair last evening, Mrs. Schuld said: | -1 am much worried because tney took | ‘Billy’ out of bed for something he never did. He is as innocent of the atttempt as any one. I am the one to blame. 1 was despondent and tried to end my existence, just as I have tried and failed before. 1 had a few drinks and they must have turned my head. The revolver was lyin on a shelf, and I idly picked it un witl no intention in the world of doing what | I did. I had my thumb on the trigger and sna;g)ed the weapon two or three | times, and all of a sudden the pistol went | off. The ball just grazed my hip, and I fell to the floor groaning. Billy was ly- ing on the bed in a sort of stupor, hav- ing had some gin for the first time in eight months. e lay there a few min- utes, but hearing me groan he arose and | said, ‘Pettie, you're not hurt, are you?’ and lifted me on the bed. He opened my skirt and found blood stains, and becom- ing frightened he sent for a doctor. I swear he did not do it, and I am sorry I caused him this trouble. ““This {s about my sixth attempt to com- mit suicide, and I swear I will never do it again. I tried to kill myself In Sacra- mento when I first bought the re- volver, but did not succeed. Then again, on Howard street, I took laudanum, but my- mother relieved me of the poison.
