Uncle Henry Harris was on hand yes- terday afternoon, and his presence infused 2 large quantity of ginger and hitting ability into his wayward proteges. They hit and caught and threw everything which came their way, and before the umpire called the last man out Uncle Hank wore a broad grin, for his men had taken a hard fall out of the Sacramento stick-wielders, and though they lost the series they were at least saved from worse results. Hoffer, the ex-Baltimore wonder, failed to impress the locals with his twirling ability, for they landed on him for eight clean hits, a bunch of four in the third round netting five runs. But when he settled down he pitched good ball, and throughout the game fielded his position in exceptionally good form. Evans was again in great form and al- lowed his opponents but_ three scattered hits, two being made by McLaughlin. His support was faultless, and to this may be attributed the overwhelming victory. Hof- fer's support was very ragged at times, ney alone being responsible for five ke started the music with a mighty sound by putting the ball over the center field fence for four bases, and his 2004 lead was followed up in the succeed- ing inning, which added five more to the core. Sullivan managed to get a two- agger, but the next two men were easy outs. Tt looked like nothing doing until Hildebrand rolled an easy one to Court- ney, who fumbled it, sending Sullivan home and placing “Hildy"” safe. With the aid of hits by Pabst, Krug and Nordyke four more Germans bounded to the home station and cinched the game. Two more were made, one in each suc- ceeding inning, by means of two hits, er- rors and a wild pitch by Hoffer. The Wasps failed to score from the fifth in- ning on, due chiefly to their inability to hit Hoffer. Sacramento simply could not hit Evans, and the gilt-edge support which he re- ceived also aided in keeping the Senators away from the rubber. Not a single one of them reached third base, and the sec- ond cushion was a coveted place. Hanlon was back in his old position and showed up well in the field. The locals played a good game a 1 around, every man distinguishing himself. The crowd was the largest since opening day and it acted in a good-natured man- ner, applauding each good play, but in- dulging in very little hooting. The score: FRANCISCO. . R. BH. SB. PO, Ao E.

He also lined out a two-bagger, Sheehan of Sacramento getting a triple. The Germans were some- thing awful on bases and could r.i hring a man home when they had a chance.

His Vessel's Name Is Gaelic, Meaning “House of Peace.” = " OF WHEAT, THE BRITISH FOUR-MASTED BARK ACHNESHIE MAKIN SHE GOES UP TO MARTINEZ TO-DAY TO TIE UP UNTIL THERE IS A CHANCE TO SECURE A CARGO HE four-masted British ship Ach. neshie goes to Martinez this morn. ing to lay up until the strike is over. She came here from Tal- cuhano in ballast and looked as pretty as a picture as she made port. Cap- tain Longmuir, master of the Achneshie, says the name Is pure Gaelic and means the home or house of peace. The stout ship deserves it, as there has never been a row aboard, and the entire crew has re- mained by the vessel in spite of every- thing. Captain Longmuir has been coming to San Francisco since 1860. He was last here three years ago in the Glenfinart. On his return to England- he became superin- tendent of the Glen line and held the po- sition until the fleet was sold to foreign buyers. Then Captain Pasifull of the Acnneshie retired and the command was offered to Captain Longmuir and accepted. Fre—~ Glasgow the Achneshie went to Vancouver, B, C. and then back to Liver- pool. From Liverpool she went to Car- diff and loaded coal for South America, and, after discharging at Talcuhano, came to San Francisco in hallast. She is one of the best found ships in the bay and and a good sailer. 1 Barge of Lumber Lost. A barge laden with 58,000 feet of lumber capsized off Butchertown last Saturday and nearly the entire cargo was lost. The lumber was for Stone's shipyard in Oak- land Creek and loaded on the barge Yolo at Redwood. The stuff was piled So high that it was unwieldy, and later the barge began to leak. The launch Sybil was towing the load, and when a_ mile or so out the men on her noticed the barge taking a big list to port. A gust of wind came, and without a moment's’ warning the vessel heeled over and dumped the load into the bay. In a few minutes over 3300 worth of good planking was going out rapidly with the tide. The waterlogged barge was then anchored and an attempt made to gather up the lumber, but it fail- ed. Stone now holds the owner of the launch responsible for the accident, while the launch people assert the cause of the whole trouble was the overloading of a leaky boat. e Nearly Lost an Eye. Raymond Yates, a boy of 8, nearly lost the sight of his right eve while toying with a parlor rifle on the front yesterday. He and another lad had the gun and Ray- mond shot his friend in the back with it. The boy’s clothing saved him from being much hurt, and he then grabbed the gun and without aiming fired at Raymond. The bullet struck him on the right cheek and glancing upward lodged under the eye. He was taken to the Harbor Hospi- tal, where the bullet was removed and the wound dressed. Raymond was then taken to his home at 1025 Valencia street. Water Front Notes. The transport Logan will be taken to Mare Jsland by the tug Slocum this morn- ing.

E. Bleeker and John T. Colgan. It was an Australian pursuit race. Tom But- ler and Caldwell, the other starters, fell by the wayside early. Bleeker and Colgan were about even and struggled on in a gruelling race mile after mile. The spec- tators cheered wildly at first, but later the wan faces gf the racers showed that they were on the verge of collapse. The referee urged them to call it a J’mw, but they either did not hear him or declined. Then the referee ordered another rider to mount his wheel and give chase, suggest- ing to each racer that he stogand call it a draw. The rider caught Bleeker and Bleeker agreed to the proposition. Before the rider could catch up with Colgan the latter fell exhausted and had to be carried from the track. The referee could do nothing but give the race to Bleeker, who could scarcely stand when he dismounted from his wheel. Joseph Nelson, a brother of Johnny Nel- son, rode five miles against time for the record and made the distance in 8:13 1-5, a new record for amateurs. P San Francisco Courf.

Dewadrop for final honors. an interesting one and brought out many good trials. The performers proved an excellent lot and with few excepiions did all that was expected of them. Bridget Cleary, a litter sister of Sacramento Boy showed herself a good short end in the early morning and by her cleverness took a close race from Bona Fide. The talent made McComb's entry the favorite, but in setting the odds let their poor judgment run away with their money. Fifteen to one was offered and taken. Bona Fide is an inconsistent courser and at times will lose the flag to a cripple. Coupled with the fact that her opponent is a clever one, the wise ofies at least erred in giving such odds. Bridget won the course strictly on merit, leading to the hare for the first turn and running up four points before allowing Bona JFide to score. The knowing ones werc given a severe shock in the go between Rector and Far- away. Rector was looked upon as a strong candidate for the stake and in this course was made choice at 1 to 10 and even 1 to 11. He led two lengths, but Faraway, when ence in possession, kept him away and scored elght points to his six. Palo Alto met Luxor in the fifth and, leading as he pleased, made that top-notch cours- er look like a plater. In the next course and as a 5 to 2 favorite he was led and beaten by Dewdrop. For Freedom ran in good form and beat Candelaria and jng Cotton easily. Fly- ing Fox reached the fifth round, where he retired in_favor of the youngster Game Boy. Sir Pashg and Luxor ran well. In the deciding course Dewdrop led to the hare for the first turn, Game Boy scoring three turns and the kill. Dewdrop was the choice, but Game Boy money was not lacking at 3 to 5. The match race between Tralee Boy and Tame Tralee was won by the Boy by a score of 10 to 2. In the run up the fleld a blanket could have covered both dogs. The Boy just took the turn and worked his game so cleverly that he kept his sister from joining in. Freeze Out won the puppy stake easily, which made a double victory for the get of For Freedom.

Makes the Voyage in Better Time Than the Former Cup Contestant. FEAL L | SANDY HOOK, Aug. 11l.—Shamrock II, | Sir Thomas Lipton’s second challenger for America’s cup, in tow of her con- scrt, the big steam yacht Erin, arrived off Sardy Hook lightship shortly after 11 o'clock to-night and anchored for tha | night just inside the lightship half an hour later. A newspaper tug and ths tugboat James R. Lawrence, with David Barrfe, Sir Thomas' personal representa- tive in this country, aboard had been crulsing off Sandy Hook for two days awaiting the appearance of the foreign cup-hunter. When off the lightship the Erin burned her Coston signals and the . tugs ran alongside. Greetings on both sides were hearty, but beyond saying that the yacht had en. countered fine weather, neither Captain Matthews of the Erin nor Captain Syca- more of the challenges would give details of the trip. That they regarded it as a fine performance was evident from Cap- tain Matthews' ejaculation of surprise when informed that the tugs had been on the lookout for her for two days. “Give her a chance,” he shouted. As a matter of fact, the Shamrock II's time is less than fourteen days, counting her stop of one day at St. Michaels, Azores, a d better than the time of the old Sham- rock, which was far and away better than that of any former challenger. Captain Matthews’ first inquiry after the greeting was of the challenger’s op- ponent, the Constitution, and when he learned that she had beaten the Columbia on Saturday, he expressed his pleasure and then regret when he was informed of the Columbia's accident in the race. The yachting sharps aboard the tugs had no opportunity to-night to size up the latest aspirant for the honor of lift- ing the cup. She lay simply a thin black smudge on the dark waters, looking strange with her stunted jurymast and queer sloop rig, with her jib and forestays carried inboard. She carries the jurymast of the old Shamrock, but her topmast is fifteen feet shorter, so that the dis- tnace from deck to truck is probably not over ninety feet. She will be towed in to-morrow by the tug Robert Hadden, the first tug to speak her, under instrue- tions from Sir Thomas before she left to accept the first tow offered. After pass- ing quarantine she will be towed to tha man-of-war anchorage off Tompkinsville, ard later to the Erie basin, where she will be stripped and her masts stepped preparatory to going into the drydock. e KING EDWARD WISHES SHAMROCK II GOOD LUCK Sends for Sir Thomas Lipton to As- certain From Him the Form of the Yacht. LONDON, Aug. 11.—King Edward sent for Sir Thomas Liptom last week and made frequent inquiries regarding the form of the Shamrock II. His Majesty wished her good luck. Sir Thomas says that the Shamrock II is nine minutes faster than the Shamrock I now, and that the Shamrock 1 is five to ten minutes faster than when she was in American waters. Sir Thomas has invited the Oxford-Cambridge athletic team, which is to compete in Canada and the United States, to witness the races from on board the Erin. The Oxford and Cam- bridge athletes will sail Thursday on the steamer Commonweaith for Boston. They will stay a day in that city and will then go to Montreal. CONSTITUTION WILL NOT MEET THE INDEPENDENCE Owner Enters Her for Races to Be Held Under the Auspices of the Seawanhaka Club. NEWPORT, R. I, Aug. 11.—W. Butler Duncan Jr., manager of the Constitution, says he has refused to enter that yacht in the Indian Harbor race August 24, in which the Independence is entered, b cause she has already been entered in & race of the Seawanhaka Yacht Club for that date. There will ba races by the Larchmont Yacht Club for the Constitution and Co- lumbia August 16, 18 and 19. On August 21 the New York Yacht Club will give a race for the two yachts off Glencove, and Aug- ust 22 and 24 the Seawanhaka Club will complete the second series by races at Oyster Bay. The yachts will then return to Newport for the trial races of August 31 and September 2 and 4 e — Constitution Slightly Injured. BRISTOL. R. I, Aug. 11.—The Consti~ tution did not escape injury in yesterday's race off Newport, and the boat arrived here this morning in tow of her tender to be put in shape for the race to-morrow. The result of yesterday’s racing in the strong wind off Brenton’s reef lightship was the starting of some rivets in the for- ward plates of the yacht in the region of the water line on the port bow and direct- Iy abaft the fore end of the water line. The necessary repairs were made here, and the Constitutions is ready for to-mor- row’s race.
