THE SAN FRANOISOO OALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1901 D A WONDER IN JUNIOR C HAMPION STAKE a HUGH LYNCH'S A. J. MARTIN DEFEATS THE - 'FASTEST DOGS URSING PA oo UEH LYNCH'E Hughle-mp, Mystie Maid grevhound puppy, A J. Martin, the youngest courser in the Unien Coursing Park Junlor Champlon Btake, asserted his right to first honors in that | event yesterday in a manner that proved him by far the fastest dog in the stake. | The young brindle traveler wag a surs prise to even hie most ardent supporters, though his wins were so clean-cut and decisive that rot one spectator denied him his glory. In the first round of the stake the youngster sold at even money against Curtis’ Lord Beaconsfield. The pair were slipped to a hard working hare that took them a long route, At the end of the course the score was 18-11 in Martin's favor. ~With this amount of running and being pitted aginst Tame Tralee, the stake favorite, Lynch’s champion was = not expected to roll up many points in his next course. Six to one was the price against him. In the run up the field he showed his previous hard work had had no bad effect. He led the fast black dog to the hare and beat him in the work This course, too, was a long one, and the talent, figuring that the winner' was no match for the 1apid Aeolus, his next op- ponent, laid 4 to 1 against his chances. Again the youngster showed his game- ness, and Aeolus retired. ‘When the sensational runner was | slipped for the final he hAd Royal Archer for an opponent. Archer had just beaten Tralee Boy, a 1 to 4 favorite, and with his total of 9 seconds against Martin's 185, The talent ANGELS AGAIN TASTE OF DEFEAT Struggle Hard, but Are Outplayed by the Germans. The past week's series of ball games at Recreation grounds and at Oakland was |a repetition of the same old story—tha Los Angeles team arriving here with its average fattened by many victories on the home grounds and within striking dis- tance of the lead, only to have its fond- est hopes shattered by the overwhelming defeat administered by the San Francisco champions. The Redlegs were completely outclassed yesterday both at Oakland and and finished the serles with but a single victory to their credit. They brought a strong team and fought hard, but luck seemed against them. If they do not take a majority of the games from the Oakland cripples next week themeoveted pennant will go to the Germans. Pabst was the first man to come home. In the second inning he hit out a double, | took third on a wild pitch and came in on Krug's hot drive to_Rel which was flelded too slowly. Schwartz scored an- other run in the fourth by means of two errors by Hall. Whalen and Wilson made the rounds in the fifth by means of a pair of hits, a passed ball and an error by Householder. In the sixth and seventh the German side of the score went two higher, aided by _the clean hitting of Schwartz, Shay, Whalen, Nordyke and | Wilson, giving the locals six runs and the game. Reitz opened the sixth round for Los Angeles with a hard drive to Reilly, which Josh overthrew, putting “‘Oriole”” on sec- ond. He soon scored on Atherton’s two- bagger, the latter following on a couple of infleld outs. In the seventh and -eighth a home run by Atherton and hits by Spies and Altrock netted two more runs. The game went to the home team by a score of six to four. ‘Whalen and Altrock, the southpaw, did the slab work. Both were hit hard. The Germans' hits, however, were more time- ly and they were clearl%enmled to the ictory. “Chimmie der Whale” sprung a surprise on the crowd by rapping out two safe ones—a double and a single. For the “Looloos” big Atherton did the heavi- est hitting, getting a home run over the center field fence and two clean two-bag- gers. Hall, the new_ Angel shortstop, had only two chances. He missed them both, letting in a run. Hemphill was put in to bat in place of Altrock in the ninth, but could do nothing with “Chimmie.’ Notwithstanding the wet weather the | grounds were packed and the vast throng cheered wildly every time a Germammade a good play. will play here next week, while the Wasps will journey to the Capital City to argue with the Senators. ollowing is the score: SAN FRANCISCO.

The morning game at Oakland was also a slugging match, the Germans coming out on top with eight runs and twelve hits to five and ten, respectively, for their op- ponents. Hartwell made two wild pitches and walked two, Iburg also giving a pair of free passes. Atherton did the best work with the stick for Los Angeles, mak- ing two_runs and a like number of hits. Little Hildebrand had his batting eyes with him and secured tnree safe ones. Like Whalen in the afternoon, “Ham" Iburg did some surprising stunts with the bat, getting two hits.

FRESNO, Sept. 20.—The directors of the California Raisin Growers' Assoclation have cut prices and have entered into a contract with a new packing company, with the “high five” as a nucleus, to handle the crop. The prices announced are on a basis of somewhat lower than 3 cents in the sweatbox, but are made with- out any guarantee that even these low prices, will be majintained.

These prices, reduced to the-basls of an average crop in the sweatbox, and allow- ing $12 per ton for steaming, will be equiv- alent to 2.79 cents per pound.

At present less than 60 per cent is pledged. 5 CORINTHIANS ENJOY A CHOWDER CRUISE Moccasin Wins a Small Yacht Race From Paradise Cove to Red Rock and Return.

In re- | gard to “Iris,” Pinero’s new piece, the play is pronounced to be a perfect piece ply an_inexhaustible subject for argu- ment.

The American season, as this period Is | called in London, is drawing to an end. The steamers sailing for America to-day dnd next week are filled to their capacity. The express train taking the passengers of the American line steamer St. Paul to Southampton to-day was unusflally crowded.

The innings closed for a total of 45 runs. Thanks to the stand made by A. W. Wilding, who scored 30, and W. Petherick, who compiled 27 runs, the Pa- cific total reached 69, of which four were extras. Bert Bird was very much on the spot with the ball, taking seven wickets for seven runs, while Hogue, Croll and ‘Ward Jr. captured one- apiece. Alameda did somewhat better in its second innings, Bert Bird scoring 18 and Harold Ward 16. Eight wickets were down for 57 runs at the call of time, F. Stahl and W. G. Fort- mann not going to the wickets. The match was decided in the first innings, and_was won by the Pacifics by 24 runs. C.
