FRESNO, July 3.—The ball game to-day between Fresno and San Jose resulted in easy victory for the latter, the score be- ng 11 to 2. The game was not character- ized by any brilliant playing by either side, the principal feature being the man- ner in which the visitors found Tawney, who pitched for Fresno. He was almost hammered out of the box by the sturdy stickers from Garden City. Eighteen hits were made off his delivery. The home team placed Arick, who occupied the box for San Jose, safely seven times, but the hits were too scattered to be effective. In the first inning Eagan for San Jose lined out a three-bagger, scoring three men. The officlal score of the game is as follows: BAN JOSE. . R. BH. SB. PO. A. B.

CAUSE OF DEATE IN DOUBT. Cornelius Cronin May Have Died From Heart Trouble or a Broken Neck. Cornelius Cronin died at his home at 05 Tehama street last evening under cir- cumstances which leave a doubt as to whether death was due to natural causes or a fall resulting in his neck being broken. ¢ Cronin had lunch with his family late in the afternoon, and, after rising from the table, went to the back porch, where he stood for a few moments. A noise of gomething falling brought his wife to the door and she found her husband lying on the ground in an unconscious condition. Examination proved that he was dead, and the Coroner's office was notified. Af the earnest request of Mrs. Cronin the body was not taken to the Morgue, but to an undertaking establishment, where an autopsy will be held. Deputy Coroner Hallett believes that Cronin was attacked with heart failure, which caused him to fall down the steps, but Mr. Hallett says there is a chance that he may have slipped and in falling broke his neck. [ — YACHTS AT VALLEJO. Donovan. Fewer Boats Than Usual Attend the! Interclub Cruise. The third annual cruise of the Pacific Inter-club Yacht Assoclation was held on July 2 and 8. Owing to the fact that the Corinthians had a cruise to Martinez in their programme for the 2d, there were by no means so many yachts at anchor at Valiejo as last year. The breeze on the night of the 24 from Sausalito and Tib- uron up to Red Rock was somewhat fluky, but from that point on was steady. The following yachts left Sausalito on Saturday evening: Commodore Dr. T. L. Hili's_sloop Cygnus, having on board Dr. nd Mrs, T. L. Hill, D Ci B, SHII, . B. C. Bartlett, C. Rieveley and rthur Inkersley; Vice Commodore G. T. §. White's sloop Will o' the Wisp, D. Naylor's sloop Twilight, A. Suther- land’s sloop Catherine and’ B. Newhall's schooner Virginia. Yesterday morning, in addition to most of these,” there lay at anchor at Vallejo Fred King's sloop Lois, the yawl Froile, R. R. I'Hommedleu's sloop Phoenicla_and the Encinal yacht Fawn. It was expected that several Cali- fornia vachts would join the rendezvous and that the number would be largely in- creased by the addition of the Corinthian fleet on its return -from Montezuma Slough. —— e NEW REVENUE AGENTS. L. A. Thrasher Orderad to Washing- ton and B. M. Thomas Assigned to the Coar.. Revenue Agent L. A. Thrasher has re- celved orders from Commissioner N. B. Scott, relieving him from duty on the coast and instructing him to report to ‘Washington, D. C. The order transferring Agent Thrasher also assigns Burt M. Thomas, the newly appointed agent. to duty here in his home divigion. Mr. Thomas will take charge of the office to-day, but Mr. Thrasher will remain here until the current business of the office is finished. This will take until about the last of the month, when he will report at Washington, from where he will be assigned to duty probably in the division including North and South Carolina. —_— Sunday-School Exercises. A series of pleasant Sunday afternoons, patriotic in thelr nature, was inaugurated by the members of the Central Methodist Episcopal Sunday School yesterday. Spe- cial exercises, consisting of vocal and in- strumental solos, recitations and address- es, were presented. Professor H. M. Bos- worth presided at the organ, Miss Edith Irving at the piano and J.

Union Park Furnishes Some Rare Sport—Ingleside Crowded With Followers of the Pastime. The Record. For Freedom, the speedy {importation from England, still upholds the reputa- tion he has earned since his advent to this coast. Yesterday at Union Park he went past his rivals as if they were stana- ing still and won the open stake in his usual style. Whenever J. H. Rossiter, the fortunate possessor of the great dog, en- ters him for a stake it seems a foregons conclusion that he will carry it off, and the talent is chary about laying their shekels on any other candidate. At times the shortenders are fascinated by the odds of 20 to 1, as was offered yesterday, and bet in the hope of seeing the Invincible dog meet his Waterloo. It is vain hope, however, as For Freedom once loosenea from the slips, bounds after the prey with lightning speed, leaving his rival far in the rear. This was the rule yesterday. Such speedy performers as Mira Monte and Minneapolis were made to look like has beens. Although the Eastern produc- tion made a fair showing against the wonder in the final after the first turn, For Freedom's speed asserted itself and he earned the flag. His owner was offered 3000 for him by a Mr. Edmondson, a lover of the sport, but Mr. Rossiter refused the tempting offer, saying that the dog was not for sale. Nothing of a sensational nature was sprung yesterday. The talent took a few falls during the running, but retrieved themselves on the winnings of the favor- ites. he Gossoon, Blackton, Camilla ana Terrona coutributed to the joy of the shortenders by landing flags. The Gos- soon defeated the 2% to 1 favorite Doug- las; Bblackton won fron JLady Blanche at 3 to 1, and Camilla Keeled over the slight favorite, Teca Rose. The defeat of False Flatterer by Terrona, at 4 to 1, was the saddest blow of all. The talent was so confident that the former would win that they banked heavily on her, and much disappointment was displayed when Terrona was declared the winner. Hot Stuff’s second day’s appearance was signalized by his defeating Glenstone an¢ Terrona. Vanity Fair and the former ran a no course, after which the latest as- pirant for honors was defeated in a close course. Old Skyball displayed grit and staying powers by landing a tricky hare after a course similar to that which laid Black- ette out a few weeks ago. A great many hard losers raifled at Judge Bull for not deciding in favor ot their choice, Rosette, in her course with Firm Friend. The decision, in the minds of non-bettors, was a falr one, as Firm Friend did the most work at the finish. The course was a good one and was keen- Iy _watched. Firm Friend's hard courses in the byes played havoc with him, and when he ap- peared against Minneapolis proved an easy rival. Following is the way the stake was run: Open stake, second round—T. J. Cronin's Magnet beat S. E. Portal's Laurelwood; John Perigo’s Wayfarer heat J. Donnell's’ Las Paimas; Thomas McEldownéy's The Gossoon beat Al Avstin’s Douglas; B. V. Sullivan's Mira Monte beat J. J.

Dr. J. A. B. Wilson Addresses Some Timely Remarks to Members of the Boys’ Brigade. Dr. John A. B. Wilson, pastor of the Howard-Street Methodist Church, deliv- ered a stirring sermon on ‘“Patriotism before a large and attentive congregation last evening composed in part of the young people who compose the Boys' Brigade. He based his remarks on Prov- erbs, xi “‘Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any peo- ple.” In part he said: ‘“The implication is that the exaltation of a nation is desirable, but that moral evil prevents while righteousness promotes it. Love means the desire and effort to uplift the object loved. War and courage in battle is one way but by no means the only way, of promoting the in- terests of our country.” The speaker then ‘called attention to Dewey and Hobson as being believers in Christ and of their bravery in times of peril. He outlined Hobson's character and pointed him out to his {oung listeners as the ideal soldier and Christian. In clos- ing he said: “Young men, do not force the opportun- ity of doing great things. Get ready for the move by discipline and devotion to the unromantic dutles of your station, and if the hour never comes you will have Increased the average of national righteousness by the quality of your own personality, and if the hour comes it will find you ready.” —_————— The Day’s Fires.

THE LURLINE Unsatisfactory Race of the Yachts. HEAVY FOG AND NO WIND THE CONTEST LITTLE MORE THAN A DRIET. Occupants of the Two Vessels Roy- ally Entertained on Their Ar- rival at Santa Cruz. Special Dispatch to The Call SANTA CRUZ, July 3.- Shortly after 11 o’clock this morning the yacht Aggie hove in sight, winning the race of the Pacific Yacht Club. She was followed a few minutes later by the Lurline. The cruise w.s a most uns isfactory one. The yachts started from San Francisco yesterday morning. The tug Alert to 1 the Lurline and the tug Sea Witch tov. :d the Aggie to a mile beyond the lighthouse boat. They cast off and the race was commenced in earnest. The yachts immediately lost sight of each other in the dense fog which prevailed. The fog lasted for one hour and when it lifted the Lurline was two or three miles ahead of the Aggie. Soon after another dense fog bank ap- peared, enveloping the yachts until 9:30 o'clock this morning. During the night both yachts were becalmed and floun- dered at sea. Neither had any idea where the other was, but both were about nine miles from Santa Cruz, up the coast opposite La Guna. The Aggie had the advantage, being closer to the shore. There was very little wind and the boats drifted down the coast, the Aggie agrriving at 11:28 this morning. If the wind was good, it is conceded, the Lur- line would have won by about three hours. The race really was a drift the entire distance, except for about fifteen miles. The elegant prize offered by citizens of Santa Cruz, a case of pearl-handled knives, forks, spoons, etc.,, 1s now the property of the Aggie. The yachts vill leave for home on Tuesday morning, remaining in the harbor here over the Fourth. On board the Lurline are Hon. W. W. Foote, Judge Fred Henshaw, J. W. Reid, Her- vey Fortman, A. B. Spreckels and W. 8. Leake. On the Ageie are E. Wilke, W. Northrup Cowles, W. T.. Holms and C. A. Williams. The yachtsmen were royally enter- tained at dinner to-night at the hospi- table home of J. P. Smith at Sunshine Villa, on Bezch Hill. A delightful FOURTH AT SAN RAFAEL. The Pretty City Will Have a Fine Celebration.

John Comerford Runs a Great ace, : . but Succeeds in Landing in the Tanks—A Desperate " Crook. While visiting Sutro Heights yesterday afternoon Mrs. Dunn of 3793 Seventeenth street had her pocket picked of a purse containing $29 80. Suspecting a young man who stood near her, she informed Police Officer George Douglass, who pro-"" ceeded to arrest the thief. The latter, evidently realizing that Mrs.. Dunn had suspected him, took to his - heels, followed by the officer. During the chase he threw away the purse, which was picked up by a citizen. After a run- of several blocks Douglass succeeded in. overhauling the thief. At the City Prison" he gave his name as John Comerford and was charged with grand larceny. His companion, who gave his name as Charles Coulter, was also arrested by Detectives Egan and Gibson and charged with .va- grancy. 3 Saturday night Gibson and Egan de-~ tected Comerford in the act of picking a woman's pocket on Market street. They started to arrest him, when he broke away from them and ducked down Mar- ket street, pursued by the detectives. In his flight he Knocked down several women. A soldier, hearing the cry of “Stop thief!” attempted to stop him, but in doing so tripped up Detective Gibson, who was almost within arm’s reach of the thief. After regaining his feet Gib- son continued the pursuit, finally compel- ling Comerford to seek refuge in a build- ing on Market and Stockton streets. Gib- son followed him, and as he was about to place him under arrest Comerford jumped through an open window to the ground below, a distance of tweny-five feet. For- tunately for him he was not injured. Gibson immediately ran from the build- ing, expecting to see the pickpocket lyin in the street a fit subject for the hospit doctors, as he expressed it. To his sur- however, Comerford was not to be ound. While the detective was leaving the building, as it was afterward learned, the bold thief, after picking up his hat, which he had dropped, ran along Stockten street and made good his escape.
