It will, how- ever, not be played, Harold Wdrd, cap- tain of the Alameda Club, having received | a communication from Secretary Stagg of the Santa Cruz Cricket Club express- ing regret that it was found impossible to get an eleven together to meet the visitors. The Alameda men are disappointed, as they had been looking forward to the visit to the seaside town. They also feel somewhat aggrieved, as this is the sec- ond or third occasion on which the Santa | Cruz eleven has failed to play its return | match against the Alameda team, when Santa Cruz was to be the scene of the game. The Santa Cruz eleven, of course, | forfeits the pennant match, which will | add two points to the score of the Ala- | medans, raising their percentage. The Alameda cavtain had made up a strong | eleven to take down to Santa Cruz and was confidently expecting an Interesting game. As the match set down between the Alameda and Santa Cruz clubs for to- | morrow at the seaside town has fallen through, the game arrahged for the 30th inst. between the San Francisco County a Pacific clubs will be played to-mor- row on the grounds at Webster street, Alameda. The Pacific eleven will be picked from H. C. Casidy, A. W. Wild- !ing, E. T. Langdale, H. D. Bowly, F. Berhion, E. H. Lannowe, W. Petherick, Dr. O. N. Taylor, C. C. Y. Willlamson, W. Jamleson,-C. W, Johnson, J. J. Theo- bald, W. G. Fortmann and H. N. Storrs. The San Francisco County representa- tives will be chosen from the following: Harold B. Richardson, captain; E. G. Sloman, B. Kortlang, J. Greer, R. Hook- er, E. Petersen, H. Roberts, P. R. Johns, T. Smith, L. R. Gilchrest, E. H. Wilkes, L. J. Holton, W. McCullough, W. G. Rowley, J. Stewart and C. Montague. 8. M. Foster, H. Tonkin and J. Cowie have joined the Alameda Cricket Club. MANY PLAYERS ARE LOOKING FOR POSITIONS HE market will be flooded with ball- players good, bad and indifferent, now that the Pacific National League is at the end of its rope ahd ready to call off the fight. Just what is to be- come_of these ambitious gentlemen, the balltossers, Is a question that will inter- est both themselves and the baseball pub- lic. Perhaps the Coast League will find room for the best of tham, but they cannot all be used, so many will be turned adrift. Then the hard struggle will commence, as it is too late in the season to go East. Opposition is a great thing for the bali- player while its lasts, but when it comes to an end the talent suffers extremely, as will soon be illustrated in the Pacific National League situation. The management of the Pacific Coast League states that none of the jumpers, such as Martin Glendon, Jesse Stovall, Jack Lawler and Johnny Burns, wiil ever be allowed to piay In the Paciflc Coast League again. The coast people seem emphatic in their decision and say these men are doomed as far as coast bageball goes. There are many star players who have not jumped any contracts and they may be seen in harness in one or more of the Coast League teams. Already several of the Tacoma players have been snapped up and it is likely many more of the best performers In the disbanded teams will also be hired to play in the Coast League. For instance, Charley Reilly has a team of stars, any one of whom could easily make good in the Coast League. All of them are eligible to come over, excepting 'k Walters, who jumped his contract with Parke Wilson's Seattle team at the beginnini; of the season. Reflly himself would be a good man for some team, but he may not be wanted at all as far as that goes. & e We know something, but refuse to print it.
