Harry Davis Brings in Three Runs With Long Home Run Swat. B = BN Anoher repetition of the aerial brand of baseball was viewed by a big crowd at Recreation Park yesterday afternoon. The league champions did their stunts on the'same lines as the day before, only they were a trifie more rattled this time. They managed to make a few more rups, but that counted ‘for naught, as the big fellows also turned the same trick. Score 1 to b. . Win Mercer, the veteran, who pitched great ball for Detroit all season, occupied the slab for the men from the American fLeague and he was simply awful. He phad neither speed-nor -contrel and was buffeted around for nine clean hits. A team of sandlot yoliths could easily have won against Mercer, if they only could manage to- forget his reputation. Southpaw Graham was.in the points for Osakland. ‘He was as bad, if-not werse, than the big leaguer.’ He also passed nine to the initfal bag,: and received quite'a drubbing "at the right moment. it came near being the most miserable exhibition of the pitcher’s:art seen 'in this city for many a day. 1t is hard to understand how a team like Oakldnd could possibly go to pieces for two days straight, as the champions have done. It was hoped by all;that Peter’s bunch would 'settle down-yester- day and play ball, but, alas, the same old tale is left to relate over again. For just 4 few minutes toward the fin- ish of the contest the Oakland champions did begin to flash 4 little of their old- time rush ‘and dash. In one instance Ritchie shot a hot one to Mohler, who threw the ball to Francks, retiring Jones at second, Francks completing "a ‘meat double play by making a fast return of the sphere to Streib. Then again, in the sixth round, Wal- ters, in deep center, caught Sullivan's fiy and doubled up Davis at ‘the plate. In the fourth round Coughlin sent a scorcher far into the left field. It looked |like a three-bagger, but Dunleavy was under it in a twinkling and executed one of the best catches ever seen on the lot. The worst offender of the entire layout was Kid Mohler at second. He simply let everything go by him and played ball like an emigrant just arrived at Castle Garden. He had four errors marked against him. Each one was made on an easy chance and each one proved costly for Oakland. The Americans certainly played mag- i nificent ball and no one can kick about |the way they entertain the public. All the infielders worked in unison. The way Sullivan threw the ball to the bases was a revelation. They also ran bases like an- telopes and simply made California’s fin- est look like a lot of tramps. Kleinow started to catch, but in the fifth spasm he was hit by a foul tip, so the venerable Peter had to jump into his war togs. From that time on nothing but disaster came the way of the 'local crowd. Peter appears to be the real hoo- In fact,’| LORING OLUB ARRANGES EXTRA FINE PROGRAMME Appropriate Music Will Be Rendered at the Concert Next Tuesday- Evening. 3 The Loring Club will give the second concert of its twenty-sixth season Tues- day, December 16, at Native Sons’ Hall An exceptionally interesting programme will be presented, including several num- bers particularly appropriate to the Christmastide. 3 In addition to some Christmas carols, mn arrangement of ' Adolphe Adam’s “Cantique de Noel,” for soprano -solo, male volce chorus, orchestra, plano and organ, which has been specially prepared for the Loring Club for this concert, will be rendered.

BOILER BREAKS AND ENDS LIVES Killed on Kingman Grade. Explosion on the Locomo- tive Occurs Without ‘Warning, sl BB L Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN- BERNARDINO, Dec. 13.<Meager detalls reached this city to-day, of a fa- tality which occurred on the Santa Fe east’ of Needles at 6:o'clock this morn- ing,.n which Engineer E. Martin and his fireman, Andy Lollin, met their death. » The gatastrophe was in the form of an explosion, the ‘boiler of thelocomotive EiVing way under an extra pressure of steam, -the-erown-plate being- torn -away and the force of the concussion -and the fiying pleces of iron killlmg the engineer almost instantly."" -y~ A «:At. the.time. of the.accident the ‘engine, which was of the heavy freight type, was pulling a’train up:the Kingman' grade. The explosion came ‘without.:warning, completely * wrecking ' the. machine and tearing’ up -the:track for thirty- yards on cither side. The immniediate cause of .the fatality will perhaps . never be known, but.it is supbosed that the fireman alloy- ed.all of .the water in the boiler to form| steam without. letting’ in :a new supply. The ‘result .was a ‘‘dry boiler” and the the explosion. 1 5 *Both :the dead .men were employed in theé Santa Fe Pacific division of the San- td-Fe and had runs out of Needles. They wWere both trusted men and, had been run-, ning on: the ;Kingman .grade ,for some. time... The fatality oceurred not far from Peach-Springs siding, the spot where, but ‘a’.week ago,. occurred: a head-on collis-/ ion, fn which Engineer Peterson met his death. The grade is noted for its terrible ac- cidents, -among which was the head-on collision between two of the Santa Fe's California limited two years ago, in which nine lives were lost. A wrecking crew was sent out from Needles to clear out the wreckage of to- day’s.accident and to construct a shoo- fly skirting the debris. All trains were delayed, but none annulled.

Dec. 13.—Last night was the- coldest this section has experienced this season. Water standing outside the houses was covered with ice this morning and the frost, was so heavy that it re- | sembled .a light fall of snow. The last rain was followed by a north wind and freezing weather. In the mountains there was ‘quite a heavy fall of snow. The roads to the Yosemite Valley are blocked with snow and in ‘the - higher altitudes travel is probably at an end for the winter. J. F. Stevens; guardian of the Yosemite, came from the valley last Wednesday. He reported that he then found a foot ahd a half of snow pn the summit, but easily .got through it. He has ‘a six- weeks’ leave of absence and will go East in that time. . The Yosemite colony is very small this winter, less than twenty people having decided to winter there.
