The Saturday contingent marshaled its full force and left the track emiling and contented, for Sylvia Talbot proved the lone winning favorite and no- tody but the “regulars” play this sort.

She was ridden by Waterbury rend few got dusty over her unexpected wisit. Further down the line Dr. Bernays ireated his patients to a surprise by yeacking home first at odds ranging from 3i to %5 to 1.

S 2 2 e e e S Y ) PARTIES PLAN CONVENTIONS Union Labor Petition Is the Last One Filed. gt e Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Dec. 21. The Union Labor party to-day filed its petition to be given recognition at the regular municipal primary on January 27, and in this petition the date of its conven- tion was fixed for January 30, at 7:30 o'clock in the evening. This is exactly the same day and time fixed by the Re- publican party for its convention. Ac- cording to the petitions now on file there will be five conventions in three days. The Union Labor party and the Republicans are scheduled to meet on Friday evening, January 30, the Municipal League and the Democrats on the day following and the Socialists on Sunday, February 1. This mixture of convention dates may riot have a great deal to do with the com- plexion of the municipal campaign. If that faction of the Republican party that is generally favorable to the Municipal League secures control of the Republican convention it is probable that a full ticket will be nominated on the date set for the convention, so that the Municipal League may indorse such nominees at their con vention on the day following. If the op- posing faction controls the Republican convention it will probably meet on Fri- day night and organize, then adjourn un- til Saturday evening, after the Municipal League has held its convention in the day time, The Unlon Labor party is an entirely new element in municipal affairs and it is not known what its intentions are, or if there are any epecial plans for the con- vention. Fires Twice at Burglar. Thomas O'Rourke of 8014 Twenty-fifth street fired two shots at a fleeing burglar on Christmas eve, but the bullets missed their mark. O’Rourke and his wife had been visiting friends, and on their return home saw a light in their residence, O'Rourke went to investigate, and as he reached the door a man rushed past him. O'Rourke whipped out a revolver and fired two shots at the fleeing form. The burglar was surprised before he had time to secure any plunder. ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.—Mrs. B.

RACING, COURSING, BASEBALL, BOXING, TENNIS AND SEASONABLE SPORTS AMERICAN LEAGUE STARS RETIRE NATIONAL TEAM WITHOUT A RUN Entire Nine Innings of Play Consume Only Fifty-Seven Minutes. Mercer Allows His Opponents but a Pair of Scattered Singles, While Chesbro Is an Easy Mark for Cantillion’s Players UR esteemed visitors forgot all about Santa Claus and egg-nog and a few other little Christmas flourishes yesterday. Each team was out to cop the other in some form or by some luck. The Ameri- cans were going some all the time, while the Nationals were laying for a bright chance, which never came through. Con- sequently the men from Ban Johnson's amusement company landed with the goods, 3 to 0. # A bright day, like unte the period of the good old summer time, brought out a goodly crowd, and every man, woman and minor on the spot receiVed his money’s worth of baseball. The game, consisting of nine full rounds of the sterner stuff, ‘was all gone through in fifty-seven min- utes—just three minutes shy of an hour. This is a record in the baseball world that has only been beaten twice since the national game was inaugurated. Ornce, back in the early '80's, two teams of the Western League played nine rounds in forty-seven minutes, and in the same year Oakland and San Francisco did ex- actly the same trick over again. How- ever, yesterday's record is the best that has been made in a score of years, and will be remembered by fans and players alike for a long time to come. Besides being a fast game it was a rat- tling ,good one, full of that real heart- rending baseball that makes one think of the old days. The Americans went through their stunts without blundering once. The Nationals made only two mis- cues, but one of which was in any way The Nationals are still in a crippled condition, and this in a measure tells the tale of their defeat. Cooley is still think- ing of a merry Christmas eve, and forgot to be on hand to do battle: . Donovan and ‘Tannehill, the two Natlonal pitchers, were played in the outfield, and Tommy Leahy again performed in the rear of the bat. Johnny Burns wore an American suit and watched the play at the middle station. ‘Win Mercer, the good old Washington twirler, and “Happy Jack” Chesbro were plitted against each other in the box. Mercer was there with everything known to a pitcher. He let the Nationals down with' a pair of base hits. Chesbro was not a bit mysterious in his movements, so the Americans proceeded to bombard him for ten hits, which good flelding kept down to three runs. The only tallles of the day came to light in the third spasm. Sullivan started off with a walk, and Mercer lald down a pretty bunt, which Tommy Leahy threw past Mr. Beckley. The two runners ad- vanced to third and second on this play, and registered a moment later when Hartsell shoved a twister through Ritchie. Then Jones unloaded a stiff one to cen- ter, which allowed the fleet-footed Topsy to reach third: Chesbro got his dope mixed for just a moment and executed a wild pitch. Hartsell scored on this and Jones went to third, but he had to stay right there. Hartsell made a few catches in right field that were truly wonderful to behold. Jones got under Tommy Leahy’s Texas leaguer in the fifth and made a catch that came near being the most difficult ever seen on the Eighth street lot. The are made, and nothing ever went through the fast quartet. There will be two games to-day. The first will be played in the morning on the Oakland diamond, and the second.at Rec- reation Park at 2:30 p. m. Mertes of Chi- cago or Browne of New York will prob- ably play the outfield for the National team. The score: AMERICANS. AB. R BEL SB. PO\ A. E.
