There Will Be a Dearth of Good Rid- ing Talent the Early Part of the Meeting—Smart Gallops. The belated horsemen from the other side of the mountains are at last begin- ning to drift in, and the California Jockey Club’s opening day at Oakland on Satur- day next will no doubt be largely attend- ed. Dick Willams, trainer for Barne Schreiber, the Bt. Louis bookmaker, a rived at Emeryville yesterday with a car- load of racing material, the best being Miss Marion, which filly finished a good second to Alpen in the rich stallion stake ided at Hawthorne track.

Masoero, the well known veterinary has given it a5 his opinion that Ruinart, the best son of St. Carlo, will stand tr ing. Porter Ashe will probably give him the opportunity, for the brown horse is too shifty a piece of racing furniture to | stand idle. Highland Ball, the good looking chest- nut horse which racea with so much suc- cess over the Montana circuit the past | season, is galloping along smartly over at Oakland and may take some beating the first part. If J. Reiff, the clever lightweight, here in time he will toss the leg Olinthus in the opening handicap. Caesar Young, who arrived nere from “gets St. Louis a week or more ago with a big | string of horses, is credited with beating | the St. Louis game out of $30,000 backing. George Baldwin, it is said, Goleta harshly treated w the opening handicap, and that fleet mare may be a starter in another race Satur- day. Good-natured Wash Norvell, who at- tends to the rear window in one of George Rose's books, dropped in on his Frisc friends Monday, accompanted by Mr Norvell. Although a pronounced frost East tne past summer, Dr. Rowell's Burns' handi- cap winner, Satsuma, is galloping nicely 4t the track over the bay, and, no doubt, Will_receive strong backing t¢ win the handicap Saturday.

EGAN SHOULD HAVE BUNTED HIS DISPENSING WITH TEAM WORK INJURIOUS. With a Man on First and One on Second With Nobody Out It Is a Good Play to Bunt. . By dJdoe Corbett. The “Florists” of San Josa really star- tled me on Sunday last by the poor and | strictly amateurish methods which they | employed while at bat during their con- test with the Oaklands. | Since the game began to flourish I bave not witnessed such instances of in- ferior batting, and by a team which Is composed of such good talent. The partic- | ular play which I intend criticizing (and | | 1t will stand just a little bit) is visible in | the make-up o all the clubs in theleague, | barring the - Sacramentos, and is one which should be corrected before the lesser lights of baseballdom become Ir | bued with the idea that the present man- | | ner of consummating it is the only and | proper way. This misplay originates from the fact | that there are a number of players in this Pacific Coast League who do not know, and; I dare say, never will know | what team work really is,and the im- mense amount of benefits that are to be | derived from its use; andelso that they are either ignorant of the fact or are familiar | with it and don’t care—which would make matters a trifle more serfous—that an oc- | fonal bunt or sacrifice at the proper | moment would do more toward a team’s | success than almost any other ple: In Sunday's game the Florists made | but one run despite the fact that on three | e | different occasions they had two men on | b with no one out. This Is very poor | baseball. True, Pitcher Russell of the | | opposition was doing excellent service, vet it makes no difference how well a pitcher may be doing, he can be bunted. | He can be bunted when it is almost im- possible to hit him safely, and when the Florists had men on first and second, | Wwith no one out there was but one play to make, especially when it was apparent that safe hits were mighty scarce, and that play was to bunt or sacrifice. Had the Florists indulged in this style of play, and the situation did demand it, surely they might have won the game, and if not so fortunate at least runs would have crossed the plate to their credit. This is | so for the reason that in each instance where a bunt would have advanced two runners, a long fly or a hit follows, and on each of these the man who should have been on third would have score Instead of sacrificing or bunting, how evr, as every team should do in such | situations, each player did his utmost to | send the 'ball over the housetops to Ninth street, and in consequence one fouled out, another went out on a short | fly and another hit a liner to second base from which a double play ensued. To better acquaint the players .and | readers of this article with the point in | tion 1 will take up one of those mis- takes from its beginning. With a man on first and one on second “Truck” Egan, that handsome individual, came to bat. His only play was to advance the run-| ners and to do_this it was necessary to | bunt or sacrifice, which in such an exigency, would be about the same thing. Instead of doing so he attempted to knocie | the cover off the sphere, and failed, a lit- tle foul fly being the best he could do, and this was gobbled up by the catcher. | The batter following kEgan hit a fly to short center fleld and was out. The run- ner on second could hardly have made third, and displayed excellent judgment in rematning where he was. The next batter made a hit to right. flelde ] rapidly and this runner on second could not score. The next man up went out on a grounder, and mind you, out of it all, not a run crossed the plate. was the one responsible. If he had bunt- ed, the runners on first and second would have advanced to second and third. The fly-to short center would, I feel certain, | qu the throw to the plate, made in the hope of shuiting off this run, the one on sec- ond, would, in all events, have gone to third, and scored on the hit to right fleld, Egan, by his “hit it over the fence” methods, simply threw two runs away, and if he is accorded the privilege of us- ing his own judgment at bat, it is high time the management censured him. e, however, he was told by the captain to “hit it out,” it is time the club directors elected a man to the captaincy who is capable of directing players to do some- | thing that is baseball and worthy of com- | mendation. | It was really aggravating, after all that { has been said refiardlng team work at bat, { to see players throw games away simply because they desire to make of themselves | heroes—that only shine, by-the-by, but a | & Co. | brief_minute. The patrons of baseball In | the Eastern cides ‘will hoot and hiss a player unmercifully if he casts aside team | work to satisfy any other motive. | do this because they understand the league know the hissing and hoot act will be taken up by the fans at Recrea- tion Park, and goodness only knows where it will stop. There is no getting away from the fact that team work at the bat, as well as in the field, is indispensably necessary to a club's success. It is an appalling sight to see an aggregation like the “Florists” play such poor ball at bat. One indiscre- tion in a game might be overlooked, but when three of them occur of a similar nature in the same contest and a game that might be won is thrown away, one is llable to ifidulge—and justly. so—in thoughts that reflect no credit on the team or Its captain. It is impossible to state what_really would have happened had the Florists made some attempt at team work in Sun- day's game. Egan's stupidity I have men- tioned, and it {3 not difficuit to conceive the amount of damage his eagerness for glory brought his cohorts. And as jwo other players on that team made the same mistake, one can readily see that the San Jose players need a good shakig up: for | dispensing witn team work at a time when It {s most needed.. There are a | number of other players scattered fthrough the league who aiso need a shak- | ing-up_on the same point. and the sooner |4t 1s done the better. They should be { made to realize that team work is more | desirable than off-handed playing, and tae patrons of the game shonid not interfere Wwith the player's intentions when he is endeavoring to bunt and thereby make the proper play by yelling to him to “hit it out.”” This fs ver¥ bad form, and often spoils a good plav. In conclusion, I will say once again that it is always a good | play to bunt with a man on first and one | on second, with no one out. And I trust | the Fiorists will make ail the runs they can in the future instead of throwing them away., HEAVY-WEIGHT PUGILISTS. Nick Burley Will Fight Jack Stelzner Before the Sacramento «ithletic Club. As a return match between Jack Stelz- ner and Joe Kennedy is now doubtful, be- cause of Kennedy’'s proposed contest with Jeffries, next month, Nick Burly, who has just returned from Roslin, after having fought a ten-round bout with an Austra- lian pugilist named *‘Cool Smith, states that he will take Kennedy’'s place and fight Stelzner before the Sacramento Club or any other club any distance from ten to twenty rounds. urley whipped geveral fighters durin Pitiah Colmbla. ) o summeriin Advances made on furnit: o Without SemovaL. 3.

MANY SALES NEGOTIATED A COMPLETE CHANGE FOR THE BETTER PREDICTED. A Bevie\;v of the Records, New Building Contracts, Recent Sales and General Notes. Real estate is still slowly and gradually improving and conditions now point to the certainty that before the present year fs over the market will have gradually evolved from the long existent stagnation which has characterized and impeded its progress for a year or more and enter on a new era of prosperity. In every department there is a marked indication of a gradual change for the better. Sales are becoming more numer- ous, and, although not as yet of unusual le, still are of a valuation which brings encouragement to brokers inasmuch as it is continually Increasing on new negos tiations. The general idea that, unless large sales are being made continually, the market must necessarily be depreclating is er- roneous. As long as there is a steady business animation or life realty will be considered in a good condition. This fact is being more fully realized as the number of medium sales continue to increase daily. Property owners who have been so backward and timid in both buying and selling are becoming satisfied that the “world of realty” is steadily ad- vancing to a condition of life and pro- gress. It s claimed that as soon as prop- erty holders become confident and fully convinced of the advancing encour- aging conditions of the market real es- tate will find & ready market and a good price: The bullding operations throughout the city, although not very extensive, still indicate by their increasing number an evident improvement on the records for he previous week. Advance in this de- partment seems general, not being re- stricted to any one section or individual district of the city. REVIEW OF THE RECORDS.

A number of residents of Sunnyside appeared betore the Board of Education this week for the purpose of outlining the necessity for the construction of & new $5000 school building. Figures.are now being taken for the proposed Episcopal church at Alameda, new parish house, “etc.. from designs by G. Alexander Wright of this city. Thomas B. Bishop has bought eleven feet three inches additional of the Wallace prop- erty on the northerly line of Broadway, im- mediately east of Fillmore street, which gives him in all 137:6 frontage on the easterly line of the lot and a depth of 215 feet to Vallejo street The properly will shortly be used for the erec- tion of a_magnificent new residence. A. R. Baldwin will soon build & $5000 resi- dence on the northeast corner of Union and Devisadero streets on plans by Tharp & Holmes. The grill room of the Baldwin Hotel is to be converted -into_stores, and various other changes made by M. J. Lyon, the architect. The work of improving the,property of M. A. Dorn on the east side of Powell street, S5 feet south of Geary, is under way. The building will be raised and two stores will be bullt underneath, while other jmprovements will be made above. Baldwin & Howell are mesting with good in- quiry for lots in the blocks between Bighth and Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh avenues, N and O streets, south of the Park. Many of the buy- ers express the intention of building. The same firm also revort a long list of sales in other sections of the city.

Billy Delaney, the manager of Jim Jef- fries, the heavy-weight pugilist of South- ern California, held a conference yester- day with “Young” Mitchell, who is man- ager for Joe Kennedy, the fighter who recently defeated Stelzner in Woodward's Pavilion by being awarded a decision. Mitchell has great confidence in Kennedy whipping any of the big fellows now in the professional ranks excepting Bob Fitzsimmons, and feeling satisfied that a contest between Jeffries and Kennedy would result favorably for the local man, he issued a challenge to Jeffries, which “defi” was quickly accepted by Delaney. Articles have been drawn up. and signed for a twenty-round bout to be held in Woodward's Paviifon in the latter part of November. The club that offers the better inducements will get the fight, The agreement reads that the winner of the match will recetve 75 per cent of the winner's end and the loser 25 per cent. Kennedy has been taking the best of care of himself and will certainly be in splendid form when he is called upon to give an account of himself. Jeffries is in Tos Angeles working at his trade, whichis that of a boilermaker. His friends say that his left thumb, which was badly in- jured when he fought Bob Armstrong {colored) in, New York, is rapidly improv- ing, and that the pugilist will have sound hands on the evening he will toe the seratch in Woodward's Pavilion. Doubt- s the Excelsior Athletic Club, which has a permit for an entertainment in No- vember, will capture the heavy-weight prize. - 1898. MEN WHO UNDERWENT PHYSICAL EXAMINATION RECRUITING THE NATIONAL GUARD OF CALIFORNIA. Those Who Were Before the Surgeons Have All Made a Very Good Showing. The physical examination of~the men who are to compose; the new Natlonal Guard of California wds commenced Tues- day night in the regimental armory at the corner of Page and Gough streets. The examination was carried on according to the rules laid down for the United States army, and was conducted by Lieutenant Colonel Hanson, surgeon on the staff of Brigadier General Warfield, in the com- pany. room of Company D. It was super- vised by Major Jansen, chief of the mus- tering officers, and Majors Margo and Wagner. The physical work was per- formed by Surgeons Dunn and Hamlin of the Fifth Infantry, Harris and Morrisey of the Naval Militia, Fitzgibbons of Troop A and Major Peddlar, surgeon at the Presidio Hospital. Major Schmitt of the division staff. was also present. The men who were examined were those who have signed the petition to be- come members of Company L of the First Regiment and those who are anx- ious to enter the ranks of Company B. The men made a remarkably good showing, all being of good build, well de- veloped and free from deformities, and it was the expressed opinion of the examin- ing surgeons that the percentage of re- jection would be exceedingly small.
