If Oakland could hit up to its fielding mark, it would be second to mo ball nine in the world. It seems strange Fisher should release a good batter and keep in his stead a fast fielder. Rebsamen was ponderous in his movements, but he was a hard hitter. ‘Wagner is a first-class man in the field, but woefully weak with the club. He seldom drives a ball out of the infield. As Fisher has decided to hold him, the sporting public hopes he will develop into a slugger. Only four men on the Oakland team— Streib, Dunleavy, Schmidt and Francks— hit the ball safely in the entire nineteen innings at Oakland on Wednesday. This gait will never win a pennant. Many of the fans rated Hodson as a Gead one, yet he leads all the pitchers, having won five games out of six., The Grand Forks and Fargo teams gleuyed twenty-five innings without a run N ing made, July 18, 1891, at Devils Lake, N. D., the longest game on record. Hogan, Fisher’s amateur from San Jose, is making a great record in the field. If he-can only.get in and whack out a few base hits, he will pe the goods. Gorton had taken a great slump in his batting this series. Last week he led the team, but he failed to make a hit in the last two games. Harris will probably have a strong team by July 4, at least. He is negotiat- ing with four stars of the first water, but refuses to divulge their names. Mohler made a wonderful catch during the progress of the great nineteen-inning ‘contest. A ball was hit over in the direc- tion of right field fence and Mohler, Streib and’ McCreedie started after it. The last two gave up the chase, but the little fel- low. ran between them and nailed the ball with one hand. Cristall continues to keep the opposing base runners glued to first. Sheehan tried to play off in Thursday's game, but the southpaw caught him a foot off the bag. ————— Boxer Succumbs to Injuries. BOSTON, May 23.—Tommy Noonan of Chelsea, Mass., died this morning from the effects of a blow received from Eddie Dixon of Chicago in a boxing contest at the Lenox Athletic Club_here last night. Dixon is in custody. While generaly known in sporting circfes s Tommy- Noo- nan, ‘the dead boxer's right name was John Cassidy and his home was in Chel- sea. Heé was 20 years of age. blow landed on Noonan's jaw and he dropped to the floor, where he lay until counted out. Physiclans pronounced him suffering_from concussion of the brain. Later Dixon was arraigned in the Crim- inal Court on the charge of manslaughter in the first degree. Sol Sandler, Bernard Saxe, Thomas Flaherty and Joseph O'Brien, the seconds of the two pugilists, the charge of manslaughter in_the second degree. Bail in the case of each man was fixed at $300 and June 6 was set for a hearing. —_————— Rambling Katie a Winner.

INING, AND JITIMIE BRITT, HIS NEXT OPPONENT. =3 CRICKET DRAWS THE VETERANS An Eleven of Old-Timers Will Meet the . Pacifics at the Alameda Grounds HE schedule of the California Cricket Association beifig open, to- morrow a match has been arranged between a team of veterans made up by A. E. Acklom and an eleven of the Pacific Club minus a few of the strongest players, such as H. C. Casidy, A. W. Wilding, C. P. Coles and the new Australian acquisition, B. Kortlang. The Pacific eleven last Sunday com- pletely reversed its usual habit, which is to make a strong opening and break down later. Casidy, Coles and Wilding scored only 14 runs between them, and the first six wickets fell for 28 runs; but F. Bennion, 24, J. J. Theobald, 30 not out, and T. J. A. Tiedeman, 11, brought the score up to the respectable total of 103. The Alameda team fell all to pieces, F. J. Croll, 10, being the only man to score double figures. Casidy and Kort- 1ang disposed of the whole eleven with 45 balls, six of the batsmen adding noth- ing to the score. In their second in- nings the Alameda men dig better, F. J. Croll scoring 19 and Harold Ward 11. H. G. Fortmann and Arthur Dickinson did not bat, and the innings ended for 52 runs, making a total of 70 for two in- nings. The Pacifics accordingly won the second pennant match of the season by 33 runs and an innings, and their record now stands—Matches played, 2; won, 2; lost, 0. B. Kortland, a recent arrival from Australia, proved a most effective bowler, with good length and break. He is a valuable addition to the Pacific team. Next week the Santa Cruz team will pay its first visit of the season to San Francisco, and on Decoration day will play against the Pacific eleven at Ala- meda. On Saturday, May 31, the Santa Cruz cricketers will begin their match against the Alameda eleven. A. G. Sheath, who played with the Santa Cruz club_last season, has resigned his mem- bership. It is not expected that Harold Richardson will play more than orice or twice this year, as he is living at Bakers- field. E. G. Sloman’s name, however, is on the membership roll, and so is that of H. H. Cookso Morehouse Would Not Pay. Ex-State Senator Harry V. Morehouse is the defendant in a suit brought by Ernest V. Richter, the trial of which was begun yesterday before Justice of the Peace Long. The testimony showed that Richter, who is a masseur and hydropath, ireated ‘Morehouse’s daughter for inflam- matory rheumatism. For this . service Richter demanded $214, and for treating Morehouse himself Richter wanted $8. Morehouse expressed himself as willing to confess judgment for $3, but he refused to pay the bill for the treatment of his daughter on the ground that he made no contract with Richter and that the .young iady is over age. Morehouse further con- tended that Richter is not a licensed phy- sician and therefore cannot recover under the code. The case was submitted on briefs. —_———————— City Buys Its Own Fertilizer. Mayor Schmitz proposes to begin an in- vestigation into the methods of L. Devin- cenzi, who has the contract for removing garbage from the Fire Department stables at §175 per month. It has developed that Devincenzi has been enjoying a “soft snap” In selling the same refuse to the Park Commissioners for -fertilizing pur- poses for an_average of $175 per month more. The Mayor objects to the city buying its own fertilizer and thinks that Devincenzi should dump the garbage in the park without extra pay. ] BRITT IS READY FOR HARD FIGHT Contest Is Expected to Be a Fast and a Meny One While It Continues OW that Fitzsimmons and Jeffries have arranged their meeting, the in- terest of local ring-goers is centered on the coming. boxing contest be- tween “Jimmie” Britt of this city and ‘Kid"” Lavigne of Saginaw, Mich. They are to battle in Woodward’s Pavilion next Thursday night under the auspices of the San Francisco Athletic Club. Britt is training at Croll's Gardens, Alameda, while Lavigne 1§ working at the Six Mile House. Britt works hard daily. *‘Spider” Kelly is looking after his training and the Olympic Club boxer is in superb condition. He_has agreed to box George McFadden in June if he wins from Lavigne. Lavigne is being hanaled by Mark Shaughnessy and his brother “Billy.” He says he never felt in better condition. He is ‘the picture of health and feels as strong as a backwoodsman. The “Kid” has battled his way to the top of the fistic ladder and has always borne an excellent reputation for game- ness in the ring. When he fights, his op- ponent is watchful, as he is a dangerous customer. Lavigne punches with both hands and when he lands something us- ually drops. He proved he has not gone back by taking Tim Hegarty’s measure in quick order. He has taken splendid care of himself for several years and will give a good account of himself. Britt {s ambitlous to reach the top of the pugilistic ladder of fame and is grad- ually working his way upward. That he can fight was evidenced in his previous contests, The public will see a hot battle while it lasts, as the men are willing and aggressive fighters. ‘When Britt ceases training the day be- fore the fight he will have practically fin- ished a solld year of hard exercise. He has been under the strain of constant training since last May, having engaged in an amateur and a professional contest every month since that time. Lavigne's headquarters at the Six Mile are besieged every day by scores of visitors, who jour- ney over the big hill to see the Saginaw boxer go through his iraining _stunts. This will be the first real test of Britt, as Lavigne is considered the most serious stumbling block in the way of Britt's championship aspirations. + Trouble Over a Horse. Justice of the Peace Long gave judg- ment yesterday against Mrs. L. M. Town- send, who sued J. J. Ormsby and Ben L. Marks for $225. Mrs. Townsend testifled that she bought a racehorse, Searchlight, trom one Lawless, who gave her a bill ct sale for the animal. Mrs. Townsend went through some form of taking possession of the horse and allowed Lawless to takes him to Montana for racing purposes. Shortly afterward Lawless sold the horse to Ormsby for $215 and Ormsby in turn £cld the horse to his brother. ~In render- ing his decision, Judge Long stated that the affair showed the earmarks of a swindling operation, but he was con- strained to render judgment against the Flamllfl much against his will, as she had failed to take proper legal possession of the animal. e Machine Paid in Coin. Policeman Frank McGrayan, while in citizen's dress, went into Peter P. Flood's saloon, at 120 California street, yesterday | afternoon and played a_ nickel-in-the-slot machine. He won and Flood pald hirh in coln instead of liquor o clgars, thereby ‘violatis the ordinance. cGrayan ar- rested ¥lood and booked him at the city prison. Flood was released on bail. OARSMEN EXPECT A BIG REGATTA Unusual Preparations. Are Making for the Event on the Lake Merritt Course ARLY in the week the celebration committee of the citizens of Oakland and representatives of the rowing clubs met in tHe Merchants’ Exchange at Oakland and discussed the July 4th regatta on Lake Merritt. The sum of one thousand dollars has been granted for the afternoon festivities, by far the most important of which will be the rowing races. . Pembroke, captain of the Olympic Boat Club, was in attendance and strongly urged the de- sirability of bringing large crews and single scullers down from British Colum- bia and Portland, to give the races an international character. That this might be done he suggested the prizes for the rowing races be of moderate value, thus leaving more to be expended in trans- portation and hotel bills for the north- erners. He also expressed the conviction that races of one mile in length would be long enough to test the speed and the stam- ina of contestants and would prove much more interesting and exciting to the spec- tators than the regular mile-and-a-half championship events. He stated the peo- ple of Oakland want to see a well-con- ducted serfes of keen races, but do not care at all whether they are championship or not, or what the exact length of the course may be. W. B. Hinchman, presi- dent of the Pacific Assocfation of the Amateur Athletic Union, was desirous of retaining as much of the appropriation as possible in the shape of prizes for the local oarsmen. The Lake Merritt regatta seems likely to be the only large general rowing regatta of the year, and the Pa- cifie Assoclation officials wish to make it a_championship event. It was decided that one barge crew be brought down from Portland, and -that the cockswain shall be a single sculler. As the Portland oarsmen use shells and not four-oared barges, one of the local clubs will lend a_racing barge to the visitors. As the Reliance Athletic Club, the Academic Athletic League and other organizations deserve some recognition in a citizens’ celebration on a public holiday, it ‘has been decided to hold & few track and fleld events during the afternoon, as well as the rowing races. Though the blustering weather last Sunday kept many visitors away from the opening regatta of the Alameda Boat Club, all the events were successfully carried out. The prosgects for the com- ing season are good. The Alameda oars. men scem likely to win a large propo tion of this year's championships. The club has strong senior, intermediate and junior barge crews and will also have en- tries in the shell and outrigged skt races. There is a good deal of activity about the boathouse of the South End Rowing Ciub on Sundays, four or five big barge crews golng out during the day. At the next meeting of the club it is probable the use fof the boathouse will be offered to the ‘crews and scullers of the Ariel and Pioneer Rowing Clubs, which have no quarters at present. As Robert McAr- thur *has been declared a professional, it ems ‘doubtful whether the South Ends 1l succeed in getting together a senior barge crew, but a junior four consistin; of J. P. Fole{. J. Berger, Ed Pallas an: Matt Harris practicing regularly. The Dolphins had hard luck with their schooner trip and clam-bake last Sunday. The schooner left the North Beach club- house at 9:30 in the morning and after sailing about the bay until noon set out for Strawberry Point, but, owing to the loss of the centerboard, was not able to make it. Then an atfempt was made to reach the rendezvous in a launch, but the launch broke down and falled to land its passengers at Strawberry Point, % X = - Anglers Would Like to See a Big Distribution of Trout in Nearby Waters Tl guhreoy NGLERS of this city are expressing a desire to see the streams near here —the Paper Mill, Sonoma and Los Gatos—thoroughly stocked by the California State Fish Commission. The rainbow, which David Starr Jordan says is a steelhead, would thrive, it Is claimed, in these streams. If the young fish were put in at Liberty’s, near the headwaters of the Lagunitas, they would de much to sustain the reputation of the Paper Mill as the most wonderful stream in the world for anglers. It is expected the North Coast Railway Company officials would lend all neces- sary aid in the replenishing of the stream. Anglers also suggest the framing of an ordinance by the Marin County Super- visors prohibiting the taking of trout smaller than five inches from the streams of the county. A certain class of men take fingerlings by the hundreds and thus help depopulate the trout streams. Al Cumming, who returned some days since from the Klamath, is bubbling over with enthusiasm regarding the angling possibilities of that locality. The weather has been cold and the season unusually btackward up to the present time. This condition cannot continue much longer, and with the coming of warm weather he predicts royal sport. He took many trout up to four pounds in weight, and says there are many larger ones in the stream. He predicts that Shovel Creek and other small creeks will afford good artificial iy fishing within the next ten days. It should -remain good until the last of Avgust.

The committee is made up of L. F. Bartels of Denver (chairman), J. H. Ros- seter of San Francisco, J. J. Lavin of St Louis, 8. F. Handy of Minneapolis and W. J. Erwin of Honey Grove, Tex The meeting was held in St. Louis, Mo., lest year, and Judge Grace of this city officiated in the saddle. This year it .“."” probably be held at Sherman, Tex. The date of the meeting will be given serious consideration by the committee. Late i November is the time favored by ccursing men. This will afford them an opportunity to run their dogs in the rich Futurity stake and in the John Grace cup stake. It will also afford the Eastern coursing men an opportunity to se‘nd th dogs for the principal stakes. This bring to the front the best greyhounds, from which a selection can be made of dogs worthy to compete for the American Waterloo. If held late in November it will un- doubtedly attract a large entry and “clags” would be more thoroughly repre- sented thap in past years. o The draw for the California Coursing Committee stake will be held next Wednesday night. This stake will be the feature of the card for next week's meet- ipg at Union Park, which will extend over three days, commenciag with Decoration Gay. Beacon, Palo Alto, Rector and Ho- mer Boy will form a quartet of perform- ers hard to beat. The courses between any two of these will be on the sensa- tional order. 2 The special coursing train for Union Park will leave Third and Townsend streets at 1 p. m. to-day. The attraction this afternoon will be the first round of a sixty-four-dog open stake. The remain- ing rounds and a twenty-four-dog special stake will furnish the sport at the park to-morrow. The probable winners in the run-down of the to stakes look to be: Special stake—America, Game Boy, Loyal Lad, Narcissus, Lost Chord, Fannie Hughie, Fontenoy, Flying Fox, Dewdrop, Santonin, Luxor and Rocker, Open stake—Flower of Gold. Prompto, Lear King, Menlo Prince. Toronto, Wedgewood, Lib- erator, Terronette, Fly by Night, Pepita, Chal lenger, Lady Newark, Pat Freedom, Crocke! Hill, White Hat.
