OAKLAND AGAIN FALLS BEFORE THE ATERICANS Waterbury Plays Good Ball, but Receives Rank Supp'ort. Dudes Hit Fraser Freely The high-salaried stars from the Amer- ican Baseball League again handed it to the cripples yesterday to the music of 7 to 5. The contest was.a decided im- provement over that of Thursday, though the cripples were woefully weak in the outfield. Dr. Moskiman, as'if to have re- venge on his colleagues for the way they treated him Thursday, was the arch of- fender. He dropped a simpie fly from Fraser's bat in the fourth when two were gone, which finally let in two tallies, Im- mediately after he failed to run fast enough after Pickering’s fly. This re- sulted in & two-bagger tor ine batsman, though. the ball snould certainly have been captured. Hamilton aiso shared in the ragged fielding, dropping a liner trom Lajoie’s bat, which allowed & couple more of the Americans to trot home. Waterbury, kwing's amateur, was on the slab for Oakland and he did himself proud, allowing but six hits, three of which should have been prevented. He also hit out a clean single, scored a run and made a great stop of Pickering’s hot grounder in the sixth round. Altogether, Waterbury did gilt edge work—much bet- ter than those who have had more ex- perience. Each side scored in the first inning. Devereaux walked, took second on Moh- ler's pass, went to third on a throw-in from right field and, scored on Streib's out from short to first. For the Ameri- cans Barrett hit, stole second, took third on an infield out and crossed the pan on Lajoie's hit. Hamilton’s error in the third was re- sponsible far two runs, and Moskiman's poor fieldfng let in three more during the next round. The Easterners made their last point in the seventh, when Barrett, after getting four bad ones, sprinted With the score standing 2 to 6 against them, the Dudes made a final rally i‘n the seventh; when hits by Waterbury, Dev- ereaux, Streib and Dunleavy, combined with a couple of bases on balls, netted three runs and nearly tied the score. “Chic] Fraser of Philadelphia handed the curves and shoots for the Eastern men. He was much easier than ‘“‘Rube,’” as the cripples secured nine safe ones from him. Mercer's great throw from right fleld, which caught Dunleavy at the {Jxlate In the seventh, was the most bril- ant feature of the game. The score: ALL AMERICA. AB. R. BH. SB. PO. A. E.

RIDES ON HIS BICYCLE - UP ICE-BOUND YUEKON Klondiker Narrowly Escapes Death During Novel Trip Out From Dawson. TACOMA, Dec. 13.—Klondike passengers with Dawson advices to November 28 ar- rived to-day. W. B. Banford of the Daw- son Electric Light Company was one of them. Robert Young, also of the Klon- dike, came as far as Skagway, his home, where both arrived on December 7. Young rode much of the way up the Yukon on a bicycle, breaking through the ice at one point and narrowly escaping drowning. Sanford, traveling by sled and on foot, made better time. Skagway telegraphic advices from Daw- son tell of a small stampede during the first days of December to Hart Creek, a tributary of Peel River. The latest rush for gold appears to have been precipitated by the mysterious actions of a_pioneer prospector named James Bull. With sev- eral natives and a long string of dogs he arrived from the Peel River country De- cember 2 and began purchasing suppiies. While declining to make any public state- ment he quletly told some of his Klondiks friends that he had made promising dis- coveries, hence the rush. The winter stage service was instituted this week between White Horse and Daw- son. Passengers were to be carried by December 14. HORSETHIEF KEEPS FAITH WITH SHERIFF Allowed to Make Long Trip Alone ‘When Court Had Denied Him Bail. CONCONULLY, Wash., Dec. 18.—W. W. Landes, a prisoner convicted of horse- stealing, sentenced to three years in the State prison and refused bail while his appeal is pending, was allowed to ride alone to Loomis on private business by Sheriff H. H. Nichols. So much indigna- tion was expressed over the Sheriff’s un- usual action that the officer started after Landes, but of his own accord the pris- oner returned after two days spent in Loomis. He is now in jail again. Sherift Nichols’ peculiar course 1s ac- counted for by his friendship for Landes. Before the man came to trial he*was al- lowed to go hunting with the Sheriff and was given many p‘:fvllegen not usually ac- corded prisoners accused of horse steal- ing. The Sheriff scouted the idea that his friend would give him the slip while in Loomis. Now he is trying to raise a fund to send Mrs. Landes to Walla Walla with her husband until the man’s appeal can be heard. —_— Claims Daughter Is Not Insane. NAPA, Dec. 13.—The recent decision by the Supreme Court that the new insanity law is invalld bas caused Mrs. M. A. Lewis to file & petition in the Superior Court of Napa for a writ of habeas cor- pus in the case of her daughter Henri- etta Moore, who is at present deprived of her liberty at the Napa State Hospital. It is alleged in the petition that the daughter was not insane when sent to the asylum; that she was lllegally committed; that the act of the /Legislature under which the commitment was made is void and un- constitutional. The writ was issued and the time for hearing it was set for Tues- day, December 17. e — Railroad to Be Extended. SALINAS, Dec. 13.—The Pajaro Valley Consolidated Railway will at once com- mence building an extension from Salinas southward. It will cross Salinas River near Spreckels and thence run to Buena Vista, to the Sobrante tract opposite nzales and to King City, passing through the Salvation Army colony at Romie. Its length will be fifty miles. Yellow Fever at St. Lucia. KINGSTON, Jamaica, Dec. 13.—Malil ad- vices received here from St. Lucia, Brit- dsh West Indies, report the existence of ellow fever at that place. A case of yel- {o' fever has appeared at Barbadoes. HE hooded Britisher Royal Flush, running in the colors of Green Morris, fastened on to his first purse earned on American soil at Oakland yesterday. The distance was one mile and his odds were played down to 7 to 10. The pace set by Rush- fields and Goldone was ridiculously slow, and when O'Connor got ready he moved to the front with Flush, winning in a can- ter. Rushflelds downed Goldone' a neck for the place, with Brutal, the only other starter, a neck farther away. The mile was covered in 1:43%, making it the poor- est race of the day from a time stand- point. First choices,ran into squally weather at the start, and only on two occasions escaped disaster. Katie Walcott, Posi- tion, Princess Titania and Vantine were all quoted at luscious prices in the ring. The air was crisp but not cold, and the lanendance large, betting being especially ively. Little Jockey Redfern, just about as big as a minute, was not long in placing a winner to his credit. He finished second on Dawson in the first event, and later on had the leg up on Princess Titania, an 86-pounder in the three-quarter handicap. According to the market prices ‘in the ring it looked a very open thing, but eventsf showed the Princess to be several pounds the best. She was cut off soon after the start, and when under full sail again Redfern found himself pocketed on the rail behind Frank Bell and Articulate: Taking the outside from the head of the stretch home the precocious youngster, crouching very low, hand-rode his mount and beat Frank Bell and Fitzkanet more than a length in 1:13%. Owen Mounce started the game by put- ting Katie Walcott, a 15 to 1 shot, over the plate first in the opening sprint, for which Courtier went to the post favorite, Never worse than fifth, Katie finished resolutely, downing Dawson a length. Al- moner finished third and the favorite next, hard ridden by O'Connor. For a time it looked as if Reina de Cuba would succeed in stealing the mile selling purse. She backed up awfully; though, the last eighth, and Position, a 6 to 1 chance, also piloted by Mounce, . 2068 scored easlly by a length. San Venado, the favorite, took some hard riding,. but couldn’t get up. Bister Jeanie, the entry of Walter Jen- nings in the two-year-old sprint, received splendid handling at O’Connor’s hands, defeating The Giver cleverly at the wire. The winner closed a 9 to 5 favorite, while 15 to 1 was laid about The Giver. Dean Swift, the second choice, fared badly. Starter Jake Holtman's last start in a Futurity course spin turned out a ragged one. Away in the first section, Vantine passed Abba L. and at 12 to 1 ran in two lengths before Dangerous Maid, the favor- ite. With an equal break the last-named mare would undoubtedly have won. Track Notes. ‘The stewards fined Lee Jackson $50 yes- terday for rough riding the previous day on Romany. McGinn, ‘who finished ‘second on Rush- fields, rode with more than ordinary suc- cess on the Eastern tracks the past sea- son. His engagements while here will be made by *“Doc” Robbins. Master Redfern, considered by many the coming lightweight of the country, will ride next season East for Colonel Pepper at a salary of $8000. Mounce and O’Connor each landed a brace of winners. The former rider is growing «and taking on welght rapidly, and will soon be a member of the heavy- weight division. When here a year ago *‘Boots” Durnell gave “as his opinion that Royal Flush could give any horse in England a beat- ing over a mile course. Tommy Burns, the well known rider, was an onlooker yesterday. Tommy had a hard fall at the recent Bennings meet- ing, but will be in the saddle agaln in about a week. George Rose will assume control of the field books to-day and will also put on a book in the ring. “Dell” Fountain won a small fortune on Katie Walcott and added to it in the n‘ex( race by the win of his horse Posi- tion.

Dec. 13—Mrs. Eliza Elphick, wife of Thomas R. Elphick, one of the Dgst known farmers on Sonoma Mountain, was placed under arrest yes- terday by Deputy Sheriff F. Ralph Starke of Penngrove, on a charge of embezzle- ment. The complainant is. Thomas Elphick, father of the accused woman's husband and a ploneer of Southern So- noma County. He alleges that on or about November 30 Mrs. Eliza Elphick appro- priated to her own use $500 in gold coin belonging to him. The warrant was issued by Justice of the Peace C. E. Parkinson of_Vallejo township. Mrs. Elphick is in delicate health and is now and was at the time of her arrest unable to leave her room. Under the cir- cumstances it was impossible for the offi- cer to bring her before the Justice, to whom Deputy Sheriff Starke this morn- ing reported the true state of affairs. Thomas R. Elphick, the husband of the accused woman, also appeared in court and informed the Justice that his wife's health was such that she would be unable to appear for at least three months. Jus- tice Parkinson fixed Mrs. Elphick’s bond at $1000 and set her preliminary examina- tion for Monday, December 23. She was informed of her rights in the premises by letter and was told that if she would produce a doctor's certificate that 'she would be unable to appear in court on the day named he would hold court at her home.

Compelled to Abandon the Handball Tournamant Monroe Green and Charles Melrose “earned. the right.to the championship of /the second and third classes last night in .the handball tournament that has been .in_progress at the Olympic Club during the past three weeks. Gréen met George Janes, the phenome- na¥ young player, who has gone down the line‘'defeating the best in his class. Janes had victory in his grasp, but his hand gave out and in the third game he re- luctantly quit the court, leaving Greem master of the situation. The contest be- ‘tween Janes and Green was produective of clever playing. In the first game Janes gave a wonderfully ciever exhibition and easily defeated Green. In the second game Janes had 14 to Green’'s 4, and was in line for victory. His hand gave out at this . critical point. Every time the game youngster struck the ball he would wince with pain. Green, seeing his op- ponent’s weakness, played all the harder and took the game in good style. Greem played with renewed confidence and was winning in_his own way. Janes could barely use his right hand, and seeing his | case was hopeless wisely gave up the contest. Charles Melrose outplayed T. I Fitz- patrick_in the final game in the third class. The rubber was full of long rallies and interesting plays, but Melrose always came out the victor. Fitzpatrick had no toss and all his points were made in open play.

' This game has attracted a great deal of interest and a large erowd will be present when these players meet. The scores were: Melrose, 21, 21; Fitz- patrick, 19, 16; Green, 15, 21, 21; Janes, 21, CHARGE HIS ARREST TO DISCHARGED CLERK Friends of AP;fiZnster Robinson Claim That He Is the Victim of Spite Work.
