Four weeks more and the league games will come to an end. Unless something phenomenal happens Sacramento will win the championship and the pennant, for that team had a comfortable lead. The turn came last week, when Sacramento won the Saturday game from Oakland and was given the Sunday game because Oakland childishly objected to a decision of the umpire and refused to continue the less it was changed. 53 his double loss to Bakiana set the Dudes back, and they are in their old osition at the tail end of the column. he time is not so short, however, that | Oakland may not work its way up a peg and finish third in the race. The only struggle for a_position will be between Santa Cruz and Oakland for third place, | as only 8 per cent separates them at | present. The standing of the teams is ollows: CLUBS. Sacramento . San Francisco Santa Cruz Oakland Lost. . 130/36/40 /45 After the season Is completed there wil probably be a month of ball games be- | tween a team formed from Californians | who have played in the East this vear | and who are now in California and the | mpions. No definite team has been | picked, but the following players would | make a good Eastern combination: Chance | of Chicage, catch Hughes of Baltimore | and Knell of Hartford, pitchers; Lange (Chicago), first base; ; i Lockhead (Cleveland), shortstop; en (Kansas City), third base; McHale (Wash- | ington), Mertes (Chicago) and Van Hal- | tren (New York), fielders | An interesting suit was tried vesterday | afternoon, in which Danny Long and and Chance figured as principals. Long | sued Chance for $250 on an agreement that | the sum was promised the former by the latter if Chance was given a position on the Chicago team. Harris was called in as a witness and testified that he was instrumental in securing the position for Chance. On Saturday next and Sunday Oakland and Sacramento will meet in this city for the afternoon games, and in Oakland Sunday morning, Sacramento and z will cross bats in Vallejo, th sters playing a_local battery crowd is_expected from _the towns.

Henry taking the Sharkey ne annourn 1 to-night he ainst § t Sharkey would win. s of small wagers were recorded. Both Sharkey and Jeffries took their final exercise at their respective training aaarters to-day. Jeffries’ work at Allen. | hurst consisted of sparring, wrestling and | a game of handball. At the conclusion of | his day’s work he said that he never felt” better in his life and was never so confl- dent of vietory. He says he Is in_much better condition _than when he fought | Fitzsimmons, and remarked: Having Deaten Sharkey once, why shouldn't I do it again?” It leaked out at Allenhurst to-day that | i Sharkey not agreed to a postpone- nt of thé battle and claimed Jeffries’ it money of $1000 the Californian | would have insisted upon a new set of articles being drawn and a clause inserted to the effect that the winner take all. It is =aid that somebody told Sharkey of it | and he agreed to the postponement with- out claiming the forfeit money. This | story was told by Jeffries' trainers as | showing the big fellow's confidence in his | ability to take the sailor's measure. | Jeftries will break up his training camp to-morrow. He will do no work at all, | simply “loaf” around until he starts for | | this city on the 2 o'clock train. He will be accompanied by Tommy Ryan, Ernest Roeber, Billy Delaney and Jack Jeffrie On his’ arrival in town he will immedi- | ately repair to the Vanderbilt Hotel, re- | maining there until 8 o'cloca, w he will visit the Broadway Athletie Club to | see the twenty-five round bout ho(wr(‘n\ George Dixon of Boston. and Will Cur- ley of England. He will spend the night at the Vanderbilt Hotel and leave early Friday morning for Coney Island. Sharkey also got in good practice licks at his_training quarters at Newdorp to- day. His exercise, which was of a very vigorous character, comprised bag punch. ing, boxing, wrestling, handball and work on the wrist machine. The sailor is.a thoroughly trained athlete and said to that physically he never felt better in his life, He reiterated his prediction of a_few days ago that he would win inside of fifteen rounds, 7 Tom will take things very easy to-mor- row, his programme for the day provid- ing for light work on the wrist machine and a short walk, He will leave his train- ing quarters at § o'clock and will be ac- companied by George Dixon, whom he Continued on Seventh Page.

John Grace Jr. will be in the saddle at San Mateo Coursing Park hereafter, as- suming the duties’of judge performed dur- | ing the past two weeks by C. J. Jerome. “Jack” Grace, as his familiars call him, has been reared from childhood in an at- mosphere of coursing. His father is rec- ognized as the most noted official connect- ed with the sport in America. He has been a coursing man for over a third of a century and has earned an enviable | reputation for probity and honesty. The son has absorbed knowledge of the sport from his father and knows all the intri- cate details and the fine distinctions of judging. He has officiated at Los An- geles, Stockton and elsewbere, but his present engagement is his most important one. Arthur Massey, who has proved an excellent slipper, will not be disturbed. | The offer of $10 to the winner of one course and other prizes in proportion has attracted the large entry of ninety-elght dogs for the stake.
