R The cream of California baseball talent has gone back to the wilderness. No more can the admirers of the national pastime boast of what the home players can do. Yesterday the Oakland team, her- alded as a regular terror, went to the rear in two games with the American League's best, and at (hat the home-made Scores: morning, 1 to 0; afternoon, 5 to 2. It is a sad story to relate over again, but still the facts stand out in bold re- lief. The big league's twirlers are de- serving of a lot of credit for putting it on the Oaklands four straight. It was hoped by many that the idols of the Western baseball field would at least win two games out of four, but instead they died at the post in every instance. Recreation Park was comfortably filled yesterday afternoon when time was called for the event between Oakland and the big leaguers. Henry Schmidt, the acknowledged king of California slab performers, did the strong arm work for the home contin- gent and did it as no other Californian pitcher could have done. But for all that the stupid work of his supporters simply threw the game to Cantiilion’s men and robbed Oakland of a game that certainly was its due. In the first spasm Oakland went away to the timbers and after that they never had one chance in a hundred. A two were gone, gave the big ones three | runs. This took the life out of the local | team and out of the rooters as well. In the second round big Joss of Cleve- land hit the ball far beyond the boards of center field for a home run, which made the hopes of the faithful rooters go flut- tering. Then in the fifth Harry Davis completed the round trip by simply hit- ting an easy one to right field which Mec- Creedie and Streib misjudged-long enough to let the fleet footed runner scamper over the rubber. After that Oakland began to settle down and show some of its old time style. No more runs were made by the Americans, simply because no more errors were com- mitted. Schmidt began to unwind him- self just as of yore and America's best could not get within a respectable dis- | tance of his offerings. | A timely bingle by old Pete Lohman | saved the Oakland club from a white- wash.

As the resuit of the conference held Sat- urday night in the Mayor's office the forty-seven mechanics and laborers who were dismissed by the Board of Educa- tion owing to alleged insufficlency of or just as soon as the board passes a resolution rescinding its former action ordering the dismissals. The board intended to build the Noe Valley schcolhouse with (he money saved by dismissals. There were present at the conference Mayor Schmitz, Auditor Baehr and School Directors Woodward and Roncovierl. The meeting was called hurriedly and the Mayor was unable to locate Mark and Denman, the other two members of the board. Auditor Baehr was present to demonstrate that the dismissal of the men is unnecessary because the board has enough money to continue them yia their employment and buiid the Noe Val- ley schoolhouse, too. Director Woodward argued that unless the men were let out it would be impos- sible to erect the schoolhouse, the esti- mated cost of which is $40,000. Baehr, on the comftrary, produced figures showing that the board has still $40,000 to the credit of the surplus fund of the fiscal vear 1901-1902, after certain claims in- curred during the present month are paid. BAEHR PRODUCES FIGURES. Baehr went further and showed that even if the board spends all the money to which it is entitled during the next seven months it will have an additional surplus of $23,000 to build another schoolhouse of it so desires. “There is a balance in the school fund ““The board has the right to spend $101,000 monthly, which will aggregate $707,000 for seven months. This will leave $23,000 and may be more if the board is economical on other lines. 1 resent the attempt of the board to throw the onus of the dismissals of these work- men upon me, because I have refused to permit any drafts on the special levy fund of 7% cents. I am acting clearly within my legal rights. The dismissal of the men is uncalled for as the board has suf- ficjent money to keep them employed and build the schoolhouse too.” BOARD ACTED HASTILY. “It appears to. me,” sald the Mayor, “that the board has acted hastily in this matter and . that the dismissal of these men could have been. avofded. It is my earnest wish that they be put back to work, and I desire that the board take the necessary action in the face of ihe figures produced by Auditor Baehr.” Directors Woodward and Roncovier! acquiesced in the Mayor's desire and will it across the field in two or three strokes. Several times he drove it past the goal posts, but not between them, and his bril- liant work did not count. R. M. Tobin and J. 8. Tobin were prom- inent factors in the game, the former scoring the only goal. They played with great dash and abandon. The game consisted of three periods, each of eight minutes’ duration.” The teams lined up as follows: Reds. Whites. W. . Hobart. Charles Du Val F. J_ Carolan ..J. 8. Tobin W. P.

GRASS VALLEY, Dec. 14.—Out into the frosty night and over the hard-frozen streets the residents of the Chinese quar- ter scampered early this morning, with an imperiling fire at their heels and the danger of death from freezing in front of them. They preferred the freezing to the burning, and all of them are safe. The structures they occupied, however, were reduced to an ash heap. The flimsy buildings furnished excellent fuel for the flames, and before the fire could be controlled it had destroyed a grocery store, restaurant, two dwellings and a church. The fire spread with start- ling rapidity, and the Chinese, foused from sleep, were compelled to flee for life from the burning structures. The streets were frozen solid, and men, women and children of the burned-out district suf- fered severely from the intense cold un- til given shelter. About | this time last year a fire de- stroyed the same building that was burned first this morning. There is a suspicion of incendiarism and the authorities are now searching for the cause of the fire. BRYAN WILL SPEND HOLIDAYS IN MEXICO AUSTIN, Tex., Déec. 14.—Colonel William Jennings Bryvan will arrive here: next ¥riday and remain a few days as the guest of Hon. E. M. House. He will go from here to Mexico, where he will spend the Christmas holidays. It is sald that the particular object of Colonel Bryan's trip to Mexico at this time is to make a personal investigation of the existing conditions brought about there by the tremendous decline in the price of silver. The semi-official announcement which was recently made that the Mexican Gov- ernment contemplates adopting the gold standard is said to have aroused Colonel Bryan's determination to make a close personal study of the financial problem in that country with a view of arriving at a solution of the difficulty other than that of having recourse to the gold standard. introduce the necessary resolution. It is thought that Denman is the only Direc- tor who will hold out against putting the men back to-work. It was intimated dur- ing the discussion that Denman will not be reappointed at the expiration of his term on January 8, 1903. e decision of the board will affect about thirteen more workmen who were to have gone when they had finished some incompleted work, thus making sixty men in all who were to have been dismissed. + AN EXCITING MOMENT IN YES- TERDAY'S GAME AND ONE OF THE PROMINENT PLAYERS. \ £ ball which they would scorn to do later in the season. The most notable absentee from the | | shots, at a distance of 200 yards, RACING COURSING, BASEBALL POLO, SHOOTING, TENNIS AND OTHER SPORTS MARKSMAN SHOWS A STEADY HAND E. H. Goetze Makes a Sensatiopal Score on Ring Targst. | | Places Two Shots on Size of Dollar Piece at 200 Yards. Marksmen were out in numbers yester- day at Shell Mound range. The sensa- tion of the day was the performance of E. H. Goetze, who made 74 rings out of possible 75. Mr. Goetze placed two of als within the circumference of a silver dollar and the other shot just outside a 1%-inch circle. The competition for the Sieb medal in the Germania Schuetzen Club has been keen during _the year. | August Pape for his best 10-shot scores stands high with 2264 rings or an average | of 226% rings for each score. He is close- ly followed by F. E. Mason with 229 rings and Al Gehret with 2238 rings. In the | same club Frank E. Mason is high man | for the champion medal. He has an av- | erage of more than 22% rings out of a possible 2. In the monthly competition of Battery | D, National Guard of California, Sergeant | F. N. Turton distinguished,k himself by | | making a possible 25 in five shots at the | man target at 200 yards. C. Thurston | made 24 and F P. Jacobson 23, and G. W. Geide and C. A. Brook 22 each. The medal mmpemmn of the Knights of | the Red Branch was well attended. Cap- tain Harry Filgate made the good score | of 45. points on the Blunt target with a Springfield rifle. Other scores: game was T. A. Driscoll, who viewed pro- ceedings from the clubhouse. As Mr. Driscoll has no superior at the game in| California his friends hope to lure him | back to the field when Burlingame's clev- er horsemen are pitted against the Eng- lish team. When the ball was thrown in for the first time yesterday Walter Hobart se- cured it and in a few strong strokes had sent it flying toward the reds’ goal. When it seemed the first point would be made Joe Tobin drove the ball outside and the danger was passed for the moment. After a scrimmage Walter Hobart again secured possession and took the ball a complete circuit of the field. He again brought it up to the red goal, and again it was, driven outside to prevent a score. The reds were more successful in their next attempt. While Walter Hobart rode off Joe Tobin, Dick Tobin sent the ball squarely between the posts for the only goal made during the game. They went at it again, Walter Hobart, F J. Carolan and Dick Tobin doing their | share of the work for the reds, while Charles Du Val and Joe Tobin were play- ing a desperate game against them. Mr. Carolan nursed the ball down the fleld |3 .,,, but could not send it between the posts. Just before the period ended Walter Ho- bart made the best shot of the day. He rode at the ball in a gallop and in one stroke sent it fully a hundred yards. It fell just outside the posts. The features of the remainder of the game were a neck-and-neck race down the fleld in pursuit of the ball between Dick Tobin and Du Val and a bumping match between Joe Tobin and Walter Ho- bart. £ e e e e e il DEATH ARRIVES BEFORE FRIENDS = Klondike Operator Per- ishes Near Prospect- or’s Cabin. TACOMA, Wash. Dec. 14.—John Pulver, formerly one of the most successful ope- rators in the Klondike district, lost his life six weeks ago by exhaustion and starvation within 200 yards of a prospec- tor's cabin, where some friends would have given him refuge and food. His dog went to the cabin for something to eat and led its occupants to the body of his master. Pulver fell and died in the vicinity of | Pedro Creek, a new district in the Chenoa country, 100 miles west of Circle. A new gold discovery having been reported there, Pulver started out with ten days’ provisions, with the object of being one of the first locators. . He had been absent two weeks when his body was found. His outfit contained nothing and the condition of the body indicated that he had nearly gone Insane from exhaustion and hunger. Miners of the district held a meeting and gave Pulver the best burial the crude resources of the wilderness would permit. During the early days of the Klondike Pulver made $100,000 on Gold Hill. Later he lost it trying to construct a water pumping plant on Bonanza Creek. g ELECTRIC STREET CARS AND LIGHTS FOR MANILA Philippine Commission Will Open Bids for the Valuable Franchise Next March.

On the ground at Twelfth and Madison streets, Oakland, yesterday afternoon the | American-British Rifles defeated the Al- | bion Rovers 10 goals to 0 in a match of Association football. Leighton kicked off for the Rifles, who at once assumed the aggressive, and though Lancaster and Orton played a strong defensive game for the Albion Ro- vers, had scored 4 goals to 0 when half- time was called. The goals were kicked by McKay, Chambers, R. O’Shaughnessy and Leighton. The second half was even | more disastrous than the first for the‘ Albion Rovers, their opponents adding | six more goals to their score. Of these Shand kicked three, Leighton one, R.| O'Shaughnessy one and Chambers one. | For the winners Chambers, Williamson and | Shand played the strongest game. Shand has recently arrived from Scotland and is | a welcome addition to the ranks of As- | sociation footballers. For the Albion Ro- | vers Orton, Ewart, Mone and Lancaster played hardest to avert defeat. The | teams and their positions were as fol- | lows: Rifles—J. O'Shaughnessy, goalkeeper: Shand and Willia backs; Pomeroy, Chambers | and R. O'Shaughnessy, halfbacks: McKay, Haddock, Leighton, Willis and Edmundson, forwards. Albion Rovers—Mone, goalkeeper; Rathwell | and Lencaster, backs; Gilchrest: Orton and Douglas, halfbacks; Ewart, Orchard, Watt, Conception and Taylor, forwacds. On the ground at Webster street, Alu- meda, the Vampire team met the Inde- pendent eleven. Wilding kicked off for the Vampires, the game proving a well contested ome. Just before half time was called the Vampires scored a goal from a corner kick. Score: Vampires, 1; In- dependents, 0. After the interval the Vampires had things all their own way, the back division holding their opponents in good style. Wilding and Showell | kicked a_goal apiece for the Vampires, and the Indevendents scored one from a free kick., At the call of time the scorc stood thus: Vampires, 3; Independents, 1. The line-up of the teams was as follows: Vampires—D, Jamieson goalkeeper; Robert- son and Peterson, bacl Mildred, Harwood and McCallum, halfbacks; Showell, Hollas Wilding, Holland and O Brien. forwards " Independents—Antrobus, goalkeeper; Oliver and Turnbull, backs; Lindstrom, pgully and McLellan, halfbacks; Allison, Day, Miller, Irwin and Owens, forwards, MARYSVILLE, Dec. 14.—A costly fire at Orland on Friday destroyed two houses, damaged several more and rendered three families homeless.

NS5 BRUMMEL ) GLEVER HOUND Three Times a Winner at Lucrative Odds From Fast Ones,. Real Article a Victor Over Money Musk in the Special. plecte? SR The speculators who favored the short | ends at the meeting at Union Coursing | Park yesterday would find it hard work to point out where luck was against | them. Not alone did the second choices | come along with a pleasant regularity, | but many of them were at such prices ‘ that the moneyed men had to figure on saving car fare outof the financial wreck. | The clever work of Miss Brummel was | easily the feature of the day. The pikers | were, indeed, gratetul to the fast courser, and rightly, too, for every time she left the slips she brought home the money for her backers,'and at goodly odds. Right from the jump in the special stake the lers came to the front Lady Menlo s d the ball rolling by taking the flag from Royal Archer, a 1 to 5 choice, after a long course.

BROOKFIELD, Mo., Dec. 14.—The iden- tity of all of the persons who were killed in the wreck on the ‘Hanibal and St. Jo- seph Railtoad just east of this city last night has not yet been determined, as thers are known to be in the wreckage the bodies of men whose identity will not be known until the wreckage is cleared away. The bodies of the following have been recovered: JAMES MURPHY, roadmaster. ARTHUR HYATT, bridgeman. THOMAS AINSWORTH, bridgeman. The injured, some of whom will die, are: Thomas Phelan, conductor; Harry Steele, bridgeman; W. Goode, engineer; Tex Leatherman, bridgeman; R. Greem, fireman; C. McDonald, brakeman. The Brookfield wrecking train was en route to the scene of a small freight wreck which occurred early in the even- ing when the crane of the wrecker struck the overhead portion of a steel bridge just east of this city, and under the ter- rible strain and the force of the powerful engine pushing the wrecker the bridge gave way and the entire train crashed into the water below. The escape from death of Engineer Goode and Fireman Green, who were pinned in their cab by tons of twisted iron, was miraculous. The light of the moon aided them in crawling through an opening into the water, from which they were rescued by uninjured survivors. —_— Increase in Philippine Imports.
