Out of all the games in which they participated, the percentage | column never changed, they having at- | tained the highest possible record—1000 per | cent. This was brought about only after | hard and faithful service, every member of the team doing his part. Their only regret is the abrupt ending of the league, before they were given an opportunity to meet the Bay City boys, who, however, | are behind them, having been' defeated. The team from all accounts has dis- banded for the season, but is prepared to reorganize should any of the cyclers’ teams wish satisfaction. Thefr pitcher, | Mr. Head, by his clever work and greaf batting, has demonstrated that he is quite fast enough for the Pacific Coast League, and should be given a chance. Following is the line up for to-day’s game: AMATEUR BOXING IS NOW BOOMING. Tnless some restrictions are placed on the members of amateur boxing clubs that are springing up here and there like mushrooms in April, this city will be overrun with scrappers of all sizes, weights and colors within a few months. There is scarcely an evening of the week now that a boxing entertainment is not held in some quarter of the city, and | considering that the rings within which the contests are held are free from pad- ding. The authorities who are supposed to look out for the safety of Lfé and limb should certainly insist on boxing club managers seeing that the floor of a ringon which fistic contests are held must be padded with boiler felt, and not with sawdust that is generaily used because it is_cheap, before an exhibition Is al- | lowed to proceed. Boxers, and especlally (yros, who go in for hard punching without paying the least attention to the aclentmlc part of | the game, tr_gquently receive heavy fauls,| which not infrequently crush the skull To avold accidents of this kind the floor should be covered with two inches of padding. It may cost more than saw- S but in the end it will be found ntiy cheap for all concerned. kinds and manners of boxers are notoriety, it would be as well now see Bieo that the police authorities insist on having a physician’s certificate pronounc- ing the contestants physically sound. Many of the young men who participate in boxing contests are'not by any means sound of body. It is a surprise to many that casualties of a severe nature have not occurred before now. The Manhattan Athletic Club has an- nounced that it will give a first class en- tertainment on Monday evening at its rooms, 1749 Mission street. Fred Muller states that he is ready and anxious to meet Lon Agnew or Frank McConnell in a twenty-round contest, to weigh in at 145 pounds at the ringside, or he will meet “Spider’” Kelly at pounds. The celsior Athletic Club will enter- tain its members on Friday evening next. The programme is a§ follows: Three- round contests between Jimmy Lawlor vs. Bllly Otts, ennedy vs. Joe Ma- her, Joé Kane vs. Jack O'Brien, Kid Par- sons vs. John McMahon, Frank Skruse Hogan, Jim McDevitt vs. Tom Devine, Jack Lahey vs. Fred Muller and an eight-round contest between Jim Lee and Pat Brown for the championship of the club and a gold medal. The main event will be an eight-round contest between Yank Savage and Jimmy Riley for a_valuable :rnphfy. The Occidental Handball and Athletic Club will hold its inaugural entertainment at 120 Grove street on Tuesday,’the 24th inst. Tt will consist of boxing, wrestling aud handball exhibitions. The ‘events of the evening will be an efght-round bout between Bugene Mulligan and Jack Gran- fleld_and an elght-round bout between Joe Henderson and Mike Young. The Health and Police Committee de- cided yesterday to report favorably the resolution granting the Occidental Ath- Jetic Club permissibn to give a boxing ex- hibition between May 20 and 30. The committee also decided to report favorably the application of the Manhat- tan Athletic Club for permission to give 1‘ox‘hlbiliurl of boxing between June 6 and 20 The California Athletic Club petitioned the board for permission to give monthly boxing exhibitions at 1108 Golden Gate avenue, and the committee agreed to re- port the resolution granting the permis- sion with the recommendation that it pass. The committee reported adversely the petition of the Pythian Athletic Club for permission to give monthly boxing exhi- bitions. ARIEL ROWING CLUB. NOW IN TRAINING. The Arfel Rowing Club will hold a re- gatta on Sunday, June 5, under the man- agement of the following officers: Ref- eree, Joseph Nyland; starter, P. J. En- right; timers, Walter Blake and John O’Connell; judg son Hardy, J. D. Batteaux, John- L. Waterman, G. T. McGin- ward Caveny. The following events and entries: Junfor barge >rew 1: 1d Lynch, stroke; F. Loth, after waist; J. Horton, forward walst; E. McDonough, bow. Crew 2: Andrew Car- roll, stroke; Dan O'Connell, after wals! H. Wilson, forward waist; Al Carroll, bow. For the junior skiff race there are four entries: James O'Connell, Charles McAu- liffe, C. Sternberg and Archie Taylor. For the senior skiff race Frank Wilson, James Wilson and Robert Ellis have en- tered. The fourth event will be a race between a pair-oared shell and a single shell; the pair oar will be rowed by D. J. Sheehan and H. A. Pless, and the single sculler will be H. A. Wittkopf. The fifth event on the programme is an old timers’ :uliing race, open to all, for which Lean- der Stevenson, Eugene Flanders and Wil- llam Growney have entered. The last event is for a four-oared barge race be- tween the senior and junior crews. The senfor crew_consists of William Howe, stroke; R. Ellis,after waist; E. McKenna, forward waist; Joseph Hannan, bow. The junior crew is thus made up: Charles Haas, stroke; H. Haustein, after waist; W. Oechsle, forward walst; E. Steffern, bow. Last Sunday was a qulet day at the South End Boat Club house. A’ few men boxed or punched the bag, but no crews went out. Emmett Hayden, manager of the 11 Campo_ picnic grounds, says that he is prepared to submit to the Pacific Amateur Athletic Association a definite proposition for a regatta to be heid at El Campo in the latter part of June. To enable the management to offer more sub- stantial inducements to the oarsmen and scullers he will suggest that the races should be held on two successive Sun- days—the outrigger skiff and shell races on the first Sunday and the barge races on the second. All the rowing clubs are to be invited to take part in the regatta. Should Such a regatta be held, the South End Rowing Club will endeavor to be well represented in all the events. It has plenty of good material to select from and many members eager to take part. As one of the ‘“midget” crew is unable to 8o into training the club may be repre- Sented by a new senlor crew and expeci to be able to get a strong one. The *‘Irish’ crew will méet all comers in the interme- diate barge race, but the junior crew has not yet been selected. The South End Club will also be well represented in the sculling events. The Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club recently passed a resolution to admit none but American citizens as members. W. O. Patch and Victor Caglieri have been going out three times a week In skiffs, and the latter, being heavy and in good training, should have a very good chance of winning the A. B. Treadwell medal for junior skiffs, which will be competed for to-morrow. The entries closed last Sunday and are as follows: Victor Caglieri, T. J. Hopkins, C. M. Far- rell, T. R. Keenan and J. Laib. There was very little doing at the Olympic boathouse at Tiburon last Sun- day, but half a dozen rooms are being painted and put in order for members, so that from this time forth greater activ- ity may be expected. The Alameda Boat Club has lost an- other member through the Hispano-Am- erican conflict, for Samuel Marston has enlisted as a volunteer. B HANDBALL GAMES IN RYAN'S COURT. Handball games will be played to-mor- row at Phil Ryan's court as follows: J. Leonard and M. Kenny vs. D. O'Brien and P. Gallagher; M. McLaughlin and M. McClure vs. J. Dowling and W. Hamil- fon; J. Collin and E. Curley vs."R. Mur- bhy and J. White; D. Rodgers and P. Ryan vs. M. McNeil and G. McDonald; R Housman and T. Foley vs. E. Barry and M. Basch; J. Riordan and G. Hutch- {nson vs. M. J. Kilgallon anua P. Don- nelly; J. C. Nealon and R. Linehan vs. T, . Bonnet and A. Hampton. Mrs. Walter Appointed. Mrs. Josephine Walter, widow of the late Gustav Walter of the Orpheum, was appointed administratrix of the estate of her husband by Judge Troutt yesterday, with a bond of $120,000, to be filed for the faithful performance of the trust. ————————— William Dean Howells advises you how to succeed as an author in pext Sunday’s Call. R R R R R R R kD { RELAY BETWEEN + OLYMPIC + AND RENO RIDERS + b P R R P TR The relay team of the Olympic Club Wheelmen will leave on & special Pull- man car attached to the 6 o'clock over- land to-night for Reno, Nev., being billed to race a team of ten men from the Reno Wheelmen in a relay race at 2% miles to-morrow, each man to ride 5% miles. ‘The event is to take place on a horse track, and the Olympics expect a hard race, but if the higher altitude does not affect them they will give a good account of themselyes. Ex-Captain Herman D. Hadenfeldt is the manager of the team, assisted by Trainer Dent. The Olympic team will comprise H. D. Bean, E. A. Bozlo, E. O. Kragness, L. H. Smith, E. F. Rus George Tantau, George E. Kroetz, J. H. Ward, J. E. Wing and E. Tucker; O. E. Bozio substitute. Stanley, who was a member ~of the Olmpic relay team, will ride for the Renos in this race, as he halls from that city. Captain Loos, Chester S. Myrick, I. Montealegre, Henry Russ, Harry Cos- | griff, Ed Bose and a number of other en- | thusiastic Olympians, will accompany the team on the trip. They expect to get back early Monday forenoon. E. A. Bozio will not try for the five and ten mile road records to-morrow on +4+ +4+4 | account of his trip to Reno with the Olympics. Witbur F. Knapp Is still in_ Chicago, but s anxious to get back to California, according to Jimmy Joyce. Joyce also met George Stratton 'n the Windy City, and says the ex-road racing chalrman has lost_fully twenty-five pounds, and also pines for his tive heath. In spite of the heavy downpour of rain last Sunday the Olympic_Cyclers held their outing at Escal It might more properly be called an “inning,” as those of the members who did make the trip went minus their whee and entertainment w doors. About sixty attended, whe fully 200 were expected had the weather | been fair. The club intends holding | other picnic at the same place for those who missed the sport last Sunday. The date will probably be June The postponed “'Old Me , and the games in- conducted * of the Reliance Club Wheelmen will be held to-morrow under the same conditions as told In last Saturda Ther be no “‘hold-over” chicken from la vy, and e ry one who attends is prom- ised a_gala time. H. Austin Goddard of the Bay City | Wheelmen departed on the Mariposa for Australia Thursday afternoon, and a large delegation of his clubm: 5 | down to the boat to see him o day evening previous President Frank H. Kerrigan gave a dinner party at a down- in_honor of Mr. Goddard e Jr. Those present were: | H. Austin_Geddard, James Joyc s Frank H. Kerrigan, George P. Wetmore, town_roti | William_H. Toepke, Herbert D. Clark, | | David McT. Marshall, Ivan Treadwell and H. W. Spalding. Mr. Joyce is still in the city, but ex- pects to go back East in a few 5. A touching scene was enacted in a prominent local club the other evening when H. Austin Goddard and Edwin S. Battles met for the first time since their memorable match ra over the San Le-| andro course two vears ago. At that| time it wi the event of the month, as both were known as hardy road riders, | and bringing them together was the matching of champlons. Both belonged .to the Bay City Wheelmen, and the club members split in their partisanship, one- | half favoring Battles and the other God- dard. A good deal of feeling was en- gendered and considerable sums of money | | | | | | changed hands on the result. Goddard won after a hard fought contest, but Battles, though beaten, was not dis- graced, and he and his backers sat down | to a banquet thirty strong that night, | not to drown their sorrows, but to show that they were “easy losers.” After that night Battles and Goddard kept out of each other's way, and many thought an enmity for life had been formed, but not so. Gaddard went Fast shortly afterward, and returned last week after eighteen months’ absence, passing through this city en route to Australia. He visited his club and almost the first man he met was Battles. ‘“Hello, Ed- die”; *“‘Hello, fAustin,” they greeted each other, and with a hearty handshake sat down’ and for an hour rehashed the old story of that memorable ride. And neither would consent to a return match. The Touring Guide and Road Book of the California Associated Cycling Clubs for 1898 Is at last out. The highest praise that can be awarded the efforts of the compilers is to say that the book justifies the long delay. othing so elaborate and complete has ever before been prepared for the touring wheelman. TFn addition to tabulated routes and maps covering the principal traveled roads in the State and the list of hotels and stopping places (with the rates given C. A. C. C. mem- bers), there Is a mass of general infor- mation, including an article orr the law of the road, a digest of the bicycle and road ordinances in force in the various counties of the State, an article on tour- ing, containing many valuable hints, and a full description of the most popular tours. The selected tours are arranged with reference to the time required therefor; so that a person may select his tour in accordance with the time at his disposal. Among the longer tours the Yosemite Valle% tour and the Lake County tour may be especially mentioned; a full and complete itinerary Is given for each of these tours. 'In the article on touring there is a short chapter devoted to “first aild” for injured cyclists, with clear aund explicit directions’ for the .treatment of wounds, fractures ‘and other Injuries. The tabulated routes are very ingen- jously arranged and show at a giance the directions to be taken, distances be- tween points, the total distance from the | starting point, the condition of the road | and post, express and_telegraph offices, as well as rallroad and stage statio The book is bound in substantial flexi- ble cloth binding, and is of a size to be conveniently carried in the pocket. It is not for sale, but is given free to every member of the C, A. C. C. On May 4 last, Horace Dennie, W. W. Gray, W. W. Knapp and George Booth, members of the Tiger Cycle Club of Bos- ton, started from that city awheel for California. It {s their intention to make the trip overland via the central route, and they will try to reduce the existing record. Walter C. (“Steve”) Brode of the Bay City Wheelmen {s expected back from China on the 23d instant on the steamer China. The Imperial Cycling Club will have a run to Coyote Point, San Mateo County, to-mrorrow, leaving the club rooms at $:30 a. m. Friends of members are invitea and Captain Schneider_expects a large crowd on the ride. H. W. SPALDING. WHEN WILL THE COAST STREAMS BE STOCKED? Anglers regret very much that the lakes of_the Spring Valley Water Company will not be thrown open this season. During the summer months when the streams are very low and clear the Spring Valley lakes were the only solace of the- lovers of the rod, who have enjoyed many pleasant hours in trolling from boats or 4 whipping files over the crystal water in the early morning before.old Sol popped up with his blazen face from behind the hills on the east side of San Andreas Lake. How such of the old army of spooners as Braunsdorff, Rondeau, _Smith, Dolliver, Banker, Hewson, Andy, Walker, Brooks,’ Butler, Benn, Lemmer, Taylor, Watt, Johnson, Eaton, Precht, Green, Cumming, Finch, McRae, Newman, Wil- son, Marcus and many others who are passionately fond of fishing will miss the old lakes this year! The grand open st: ams and rivers of the mountains are too far distant from this city to be reached by the fraternity who can't afford a vacation, and unfortu- nately the coast streams contain only fin- gerlings, which, although toothsome and excellent for ble use, afford little sport to the angler who takes a special delight in hearing the reel ick up @ rumpus” when a game fish has taken possession at the end of the line. This should be a splendid vear for stream stocking, by the way, and it can be said without fear of contradiction that unless the Fish Commissioners will give some attention to the creeks which are within easy reach of this city and stock them during this summer there will not_be any sport for anglers next vear. The heads were unable to reach their spawning grounds last win- ter, Owinf: to extreme ‘fflw water, conse- quéntly the annual supply of fry not be- ing in evidence the prospects for the fu- ture are not by any means encouraging. This forenoon the Fly Casting Club will hold a contest at Stow Lake, where the usual 1ing of records in long dis- nce ing _will _ doubtless result, weather permitting. On Tuesday evening, 24th inst., the club will hold a busi- ness meeting in Assembly Hall, Mills building. e CRICKETERS AT THE GOLDEN GATE. The opening cricket match 'of the sea- son of 1898, Alameda vs. Pacific, began at Golden Gate ground on Sunday, May 8, the first innings being not quite played out. The first Innings should have been finished and the second innings played last Sunday, May 15, but on account ef the rain so few of the cricketers put in an appearance that it was fmpossible to con- tinue the game. The event set down on the programme of the California Cricket Assoclation for to-morrow is Married vs. Single, on the Alameda ground. It ls un- lucky for the Pacifics not to have been able to finish the match last Sunday, as they made so good a score in the firs innings that they reasonably felt pretty certain of winning the first match of the season, gregate score in ome innings was 887, made by Yorkshire against Warwick- shire at Birmingham in May, 18%, four of the Yorkshire eleven ng centuries. The next highest aggregate scores in one innings was 843, made by the Australians t Oxford and Cambridge, Past an ent, at Portsmouth in August, 18 made by Non-Smokers against t Melbourné in May, 1867. But ‘ores have been entirely eclipsed at made in a match played at Mel- bourne between the University of Mel- bourne and Essendon, in which five Bats men of the Universify team scored cen- turles, their agregate score being 889, and the total score of the eleven 1094 AS Es- sendon scored only 76 runs, the University won by an innings and 1018 runs At Singleton, in Victoria, Australia, C. Maguire recently took all ten wickets for one run, the result of an overthrow. the second Innings of the same match Maguire took five wickets with five suc- - e bulls. There are more than a en instances on record of all ten wick- ets in an innings being taken by one bowler, and there are five instances- of four wickets being taken in four consecu- tive balls; but Maguire's performances surpass th A POSTOFFICE PARTY.

The gathering of the volunteer army Is naturally the prominent feature of this week’'s Wasp's illustrations. A number of scenes at the Presidio are given, In- cluding one of Major Roe and other offi- cers of the Fourteenth Regiment U. S. Infantry. Of the cartoon features, the depletion of the school fund cupboard and the opening night incident at the dog show are especially clever. Besides pic- tures of several of the United States na- val vessels, there are pictures of Rear Admiral Dewey and Sampson, and one of “Fighting Bob” Evans. The’ pretensions of shoddydom is discussed interestingly Dy Tabitha Twiggs in ~The Old. Mald’s Diary.” Other features are a “Wife's Grievance,” a short tale without a moral, by the Story Teller, and an expose of the tricks to fool the credulous, by the Pro- fessor, in the X-ray column; the weekly financial review, and _the musical and dramatic criticiSms. In the Plain Talks to Public Characters the Board of School Directors is_severely scored. Honorable Lawrence Mullrooney tells how our statesmen rule the nation. The editorials are vigorous and entertaining, and alto- gether this weeks’ Wasp is an especially clever number of that always up-to-date weekly. —_———— Mrs. Mahoney’s Judgmenu. Mrs. Delia Mahoney, who has been su- ing Lucky Baldwin for the amount of a debt she claimed was due from G. W. Dexter, Baldwin's manager, was awarded a judgment of $5 vesterday by Judge Car- roll. She claimed that Baldwin had made himself responsible for the amount of the debt, but Baldwin said he had agreed to pay but half of it and he had already pald her $i5. This was accepted by the court and Mrs. Mahoney was given judg- ment for the $5 still due on Baldwin’s half of the debt. RE —_———— Battered His Father. Frank Costagalini of 600 Francisco street swore to a complaint in Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday for the ar- rest of his son Louis, 17 years of age, on a charge of battery.

The gun clubs represented In the asso- clation of Inanimate target-smashers are the Lincoln, Olympic, Empire, Garden City, Monterey Wing and Reliance. It is doubtful if the Reliance Gun Club will be represented this year by a team from the City of the Oaks. The San Joaquin Gun Club, the Stockton Gun Club and its annex, also the Antioch Gun Club should have some representation; but it seems that the once popular sport of smashing inanimate targets is fast losing its charm, doubtless because of recent years there have been too many ‘‘dead” shots among the clubs, who carry away the cream, leaving the skim milk to the fairly good trap shots, who seldom run up a clean score. The representatives of sporting goods houses should be penalized heavily or otherwise be not permitted to enter club shoots or tournaments unless there be an-understanding between the shooter and the club that prizes cannot be won | by sportsmen who travel through the | country in the interest of firms who deal in_sporting ware. But it would not be altogether sports- manlike to deny them the pleasure of en- tering a club shoot if they desired to join in it just for the sport of the thing. 1t is said that the Los Angeles wuun Club will not figure in the coming tournament year. One of its members—Leighton— holds one of the individual trophies, which he won at Monterey last fall. He may put in an appearance. In the live bird shoots purses in all high gun events will be divided according to | the following schedule: Ten entries or en to fifteen entries, three moneys, viz., 50, 30 and 20 per cent; more than fi teen entries, four moneys, viz., 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. Snglish snipe and quail on toast are very popular dishes at some of the bon ton’ city restaurants. The Game Warden | of this city and county should awake from his hibernating spell and do.some- thing more serviceable to the country | than bagging $125 per month regularly. Of course, there is, unfortunately, covering snipe, consequently the purvey- ors of the toothsome bird cannot be pun- | ished. The.snipe was omitted from the | list of game birds by the by no means | intelligent sportsmen who helped to frame the game laws. Their contention was | that the snipe did not breed in this State and should not, therefore, be protected. | What bosh! The put-their-foot-in-it law- makers should have inquired of some person who understands something about game birds if the canvasback duck is a homre breeder. SOME METHODS OF THE YELLOW FAKERS| HOW AN ARTIST BECAME A WAR | - CORRESPONDENT. And How He and His Paper, the Chi- cago Record, Were Imposed Upon by Treachery. It was by mere chance that John T. McCutcheon became a war correspond- ent at Manila. For many years he was an artist on the Chicago Record, and in conjunction with Mr. Adee produced every day two columns of matter en titled, “Stories of the Street and Tow: The illustrating was of a high grade and firmly established Mr. McCutcheon's | reputation as an artist. The stories treat- ed of every-day affairs, but were told in | a charmingly attractive style, evidencing | that the author was a man of consider- able literary ability. About six months ago' McCutcheon ac- cepted from the captain of the McCul- loch, his warm personal friend, an invita- tion to join him in a cruise which his ves- sel had been ordered to make. His de- parture from Chicago was made the oc- casion of a most kindly farewell demon- stration on the part of his newspaper as- soclates, who hold him In the highest esteem. McCutcheon, being a guest on board ot the McCulloch, was an eye-witness of the naval battle at Manila, and of course he took advantage of the opportunity to send a dispatch to his paper. The only other newspaper man present at the engage- ment was the Herald-Call correspondent, who was on board the flagship Olympia. # McCutcheon went with the McCulloch to Hongkong and there cabled the Chi- cago Record a dispatca that was graphic and realistic, covering every important phase of the engagement from beginnin, to end and devoid of the padding whicl has characterized so much of the war news appearing in the vellow journals. McCutcheon’s cablegram reached Chi- cago Saturday night. Unfortunately the Record does not publish a Sunday edi- tion. The New York Journal, learning ot the receipt of this message, asked' per- mission to use it, and Victor Lawson, proprietor of the Record, furnished the ournal with 500 words, upon the distinct understanding that the matter was not to be published until Monday morning, at which time the Record would be able to give the dispatch in full to its own read- ers. The New York Journal violated its promise, which should have caused no surprise to those acquainted . with the character and methods of the %yellow fa- kers. It published the dispatch Sunday morning, padded out to several thou#and words, and sent the matter to its twin sister, the Examiner, signing the name of McCutcheon to the expanded cablegram, claiming him as its own correspondent, and making him responsible for many things he never sald. But more exasper- ating than all else, the New York Jour- nal furnished the padded dispatch to the ghlcugo Tribune, a competitor of the ecord. —_———— Who Owns the Cushion and StrapP The police want an owner for a leather cushion and hitching strap which were dropped out of a buggy during a runaway on Market street a week ago. Bills of Fare in Fashionable Res- taurants.

On Wednesday last the Jjunior ladies’ class met in a doubles tourna- ment. Though the entries were not large the matches were of unusual interest. The first match was between Miss BEck- art and Miss Dempsey and Miss Tick- ner and Miss Chesebrough. The score 6-2 does not tell the character of the con- test. Every point was hotly contested, and the game showed some close playing. Miss Foster and Miss Middleton drew & bye and met Miss Tickner and Miss Chesebrough in the finals. This match was the best two out of three sets. The first set was won in rather easy style by Miss Tickner and Miss Chesebrough; They scored six games to their opponents’ two. The second game was of a different kind altogether. At one time it looked very much as if Miss Foster and Miss Middleton would win the set, but the superfor steadiness of the champions proved efficacious and the second set was attached to their credit column with & score of 8-6. Next week will see the inauguration of a continuous tournament among the ladies. The players will be ranked by the best judges of form and then the chal- Each player will have to challenge the player above her on the list, and in this way the inter- est in the game is sustained. while it is also productive of many good contests. This afternoon there will be a general ladies’ tournament, and the_entries are as follows: Miss Hoffman, Miss Mason, Miss Bowman, Miss A. Poorman, Miss L. Farnsworth, Miss E. Redding, Miss - Foster, Miss B. Drown, Miss F. Curry, Miss B. Eckart, Miss R. Foster, Miss Mann, Miss B. Clarke, Miss L.’ Denson, Miss Tickner, Mi Middleton, Miss Chesebrough, Miss H. Chesebrough. On_account of the rain last Saturday the interclub match between the Ala~ meda and Oakland teams did mot occur.
