LOS ANGELES, March 27.—Los An- geles made it three out of four for the series with Oakland, winning to-day’s game by the score of 5 to 2. Baum, a San Francisco youngster, pitched his first game and did excellent work. Bar- ring a slight nervousness at the be- ginning, his work was almost perfect. He flelded well, struck out five batters, made two sacrifice hits and was as steady as a veteran with men on bases. Chase, an amateur from Santa Clara, filled Dillon’s position at first and made a big hit with the 5000 fans who watch- ed the game. He handled himself like a natural ball_player. With Baum, Eager, Chase, Raymond and Cravath it comes near being a “native son” aggregation. Oakland's first run was made on a base on balls, two passed balls and an out. The other run was due to an unusual bit of luck. ‘With Kruger on second from a hit and a passed ball, Schafley dodged a high in-curve which struck his bat and went for a safe hit, scoring Kruger. The feature of the game was the batting of Bernard. Four times at bat netted him three singles and a triple. Score: Los Angeles— | Oakiand - AB.R.H. P.A AB. R. H. P.A.

They did not | have strength enough left to waddle | through the mud in the afternoon and | the ducks from northern climes made all kinds of runs while the rain fell. Score, 7 to 4. Uncle forgot to stake his charges to umbrellas in the afternoon. That was the principal cause of their downfall. Wilson's colts did not need such things, s0 they won. The game broke up at the | beginning of the sixth inning. The {juice came so fast that the base run- ners demanded rowboats. Umpire Mc- Carthy had no naval stores in his col- lection, so he compromised by calling the game off. The locals got in right during the first inning, but instead of going a little further, they anchored there in the mud. They made four runs and thought that was enough to win, but when Seattle got started it looked like a funeral procession. The northern stars rolled 'em up in every round and would ; | probably be scoring yet if they had had their canoes with them. Mr. Shock, he of the gigantic propor- tions, toed the scratch in the begin- ning of the game for the Seattles. He lasted about five .minutes. Waldron sneaked in a hit over the third sack. |H|]uflbr‘|nd was passed and Meany | came through with a bingle. Then Ir- win smashed the leather safely and Waldron registered. Leahy walked, | forcing Hilde home. The bases were still full and it looked bad. Anderson hit one that Shock for- got to stop and of course Meany ar- rived. Then Wilson ordered the big slab artist to camp under the bench for a while and a youngster, Charles Hall by name, essayed to toss a few. Massey hit him safely and brought Ir- win in and that was the only run they got off the kid Seattle struck her gait in the second spasm. Two runs came in as soon as the northern men got a line on the kind that_Yerkes throws. In the third, they comMmenced to punish the sphere as though it was convicted of a crim- inal offense. Everybody took a ride on it and when three had been declared out five runs were marked up for Seattle. The rain came down throughout, but the fans in attendance wanted to see five innings anyhow. Jack McCarthy was kind and allowed the game to zo on. In the sixth it went beyond the limit and so the umpire held a consui- tation with himself and motioned to those present to go and seek their fire- places. The score: San Francisco— Seattle— AB. R.

The morning game was full of runs. Waldron started the music for San Francisco in the first inning when he soused the first ball pitched over the right field fence for a homer. Then his teammates took the hunch and clouted out six runs before the inning was at an end. Seattle played a good uphill game with the bat and nearly won out, but the fielding of the team was bad and the seven errors helped Uncle to acquire many tallies.

About five millions of the Papal moneys, invested as a contingent fund, will bring interest of more than $250,- 000, and other property of the Holy See will increase the certain income to nearly half a million dollars. 1t Is, then, a milllon and a half of dollars which the Vatican must receive from the contributions of the faithful. "Every Bishop who visits Rome takes a contribution from the Catho- lics of his diocese. Mgr. O'Connell of Newark took $4000 not long ago. It is hoped that the ninety-eight Bishops of America will be able to send to Rome this year at least half a million for Peter's pence. The recent falliag off of French contributions have found compensation in the increased generosity of Americans. The sum total of Italian’ contribu- tions to Peter’s pence does not reach an average of $60,000 a year.——New York Commerciz’ S, e 2 GY DD E RS AR TRCAT (S L SR OUTSIDER WINS FROM FAVORITE (lover Blossom Surprises Ingleside Park Talent, Beating Reckless Acrobat MANY SHORTENDS LAND B AT Crawford Belle Outpoints Fast Young Fearless in Close Trial at Good Odds Pt e P. J. Reilly’'s fast young courser Clover Blossom won first honors in the open stake at Ingleside Coursing Park yesterday, beating Reckless Acrobat in the deciding course. The result was a surprise to the tal- ent, the wise ones figuring Reckless Ac- robat a cinch and playing heavily on his chances at 1 to 4.

Jimmy Britt was at the head of a long procession of small boys and curi- cus ones on the streets last evening, and though his appearance has im- proved somewhat since he left the ring at Woodward's Pavilion, his bruised features still tell of theterrific battle in which he engaged. In speaking of a second match with Corbett Jimmy said: “You can say for me that if Young Corbett wants an- other try with me he can have it. Fur- thermore I will not keep him waiting as long as he did McGovern and my- self. I'll fight him as soon as my arm and hands are in good condition.” Dr. Jones made a careful X-ray ex- amination of Britt's right arm yester- day and reported that a bone is broken between the elbow and wrist. He says it will be several weeks before the bones will be knit sufficiently for Britt to do any amount of boxing. The injury is the same as the one he sustained in the Canole fight. One of Britt’s trainers sald yesterday that his bones are as small as a child's and are all out of proportion to the size of his body. This doubtless accounts for Britt's light weight in proportion to his height and size. —_——— OVERALL'S GREAT SPEED. Pitches a Wonderful Twelve-Inning Game for Tacoma, Which Is Beaten. FRESNO, March 27.—Portland won her first league game this afternoon, defeating Tacoma in a close twelve- inning contest by a score of 4 to 3.

The Reliance Club of Oakland searched for a long time before it could find a suitable card to inaugurate to- morrow night another series of boxing matches. A happy selection was finally made in the capture of the signatures of Jack Cordell and Rufe Turner. Cor- dell is the most promising of the young- er generation of boxers in this vicinity, and his friends foresee a rosy future in store for him. His third professional bout was with Aurelia Herrera, and it is a matter of history that he outboxed the hard-hitting Mexican at every turn in the road. Turner has always been considered a good trial horse, and no one has ever ran around seeking the Stockton ne- gro's game. Turner is dangerous for EGAN PROVES HANDBALL KING Cleverly in a Mateh for the World's Championship WINNER A MASTER HAND His Youth and Remarkable Strength Prove Too Much for Opponent’s Science e 1 R e By Louis Levy. Michael Egan of Jersey City proved to the satisfaction of a large gathering of handball enthusiasts at the Olympic Athletic Club yesterday afternoon that he is without a peer as an exponent of the famous Irish pastime. He handily defeated James Fitzgerald, who held | the title of world's champion, and the manner in which he captured the six out of seven games played stamped him as the man upon whom the laurels of champion should rest. He was Fitzger- ald’s master in every department of the game except head work. His more ex- perienced opponent had the finer points of the game down to perfection, but this availed him little, as Egan’s terrific serving and wonderfully fast returns forced Fitzgerald to throw aside his science and bend his every effort to lay his hands on the fast moving ball. From a spectator's standpoint the games were not as exciting as was an- ticipated. This was due to the wonder- ful playing of Egan. After the second game Fitzgerald's strength began to wane, and the young giant from Jersey City redoubled his efforts and won as he pleased. With all his cleverness, Fitzgerald could not return the ball with speed, and Egan had ample oppor- tunity te manipulate the ball as he pleased. Fitzgerald showed great clev- | erness at times in placing the ball. He frequently drove it low with each hand and aroused the enthusiasm of the spectators, The first two games were full of fast and exciting play. Fitzgerald was fresh and strong, and his admirers believed he would ultimately win the series, but | Egan warmed to bis work, and the spectators were treated to sensational playing. From the standpoint of a handball expert it was the finest exhi- | bitipn of the fascinating game ever seen on this coast, or, in fact, in the world. Before the game Henry Corey and | Jimmy White, two clever amateurs, de- feated Joe Collins and Midgy Maguire in two out of three games. At the con- clusion of their macth the champion and the challenger entered the court and were given a hearty greeting by the big crowd that filled the three gal- leries. J. C. Nealon, the veteran player, introduced the pair, and also took oc- casion to thank the directors of the Olympie Club for making it possible to bring the foremost exponents of the game to the court and allowing the members and devotees of the game to see them in action. He also intreduced former Alderman Dunne of New York, an ex-champion, who came here with Egan and who acted as scorer. Mr. Dunne took the opportunity to express his sincere thanks to the members of the Oylmpic Club for the many cour- tesies extended Mr. Hgan and himself. He stated that owing to illness Phil Casey, the one-time champion and a favorite here, was unable to accompany- him on the trip. Al Hampton was selected to referee the match, and the men hit the ball around the court to warm their hands. Egan won the toss, and the spectators bent forward to watch the play. The ball was tossed all over the court, and this made things lively for the pafr. It caused them to run in every direction in order to return it to the front wall. The ball was a “humming bird,” and it made one dizzy to watch it shoot through space. Egan secured the first ace by a bril- liant “kill” from the back wall. In his anxiety to serve points Egan violated the rule by overstepping the line and the referee declared ‘‘foul” on each oc- casion. Fitzgerald put Egan out with a low drive to the left corner and went in and made a point. The two experts settled down to their work and played brilliantly. It was even up at six points. Fitzgerald used a stiff left in returning and killed repeatedly. Fitz- gerald led for a time and then Egan began to send out a lightning serve. The score was even up at 17. After ter- rific play on both sides the men were tied at 18 and then Egan had a little luck and captured the first game by a score of 21 to 18. Fitzgerald put his man out quickly in the second game and went in to win. He threw all his strength into his serve and had Egan guessing. Fitz- gerald had 12 to Egan's 4 before Egan got his hand in and then the visitor ran it up to 11. Both men tired per- ceptibly and they were more deliberate in their movements. Instead of run- ning back for the. ball, they would meet it on the fly and drive it out again. The back wall play of Goth men was of high order. Fitzgerald split the back of his right hand in a wild at- tempt to get under a low drive. Fitz- gerald by a series of “kills” and hard serving won the second game by a score of 21 to 15. The tremendous efforts he put forth in the second game had its effect on Fitzgerald and he was, to use a prize- ring phrase, “all in.” Egan showed no mercy and went at his opponent with bulldog tenacity and wcn the third game by a score of 21 to 5. Eitzgerald tried hard in the fourth game, but could make only 9 points. In the sixth Egan won as he pleased by a score of 21 to 2, and he also took the seventh game by a score of 21 to 8. Egan gave a mcst remarkable exhi- bition of strength and agility. He was Just as fast on his feet and drove the ball with even greater speed in the final game than in the opening games. He never let up in his work. The specta- tors imagined he had a bat in his hand, he hit the ball so hard. Egan’s style opened the eyes of men who play at the game. He used his left hand with as much skill as his right and seemed able to hit the ball from any position. It was his terrific drives that won him a victory. Even if Fitzgerald A get his hands on the ball he cculd only return it weakly and then Egan did what he pleased with it. Fitzgerald played at times like a champion, but these flashes of old-time playing were far between. KEgan's youth and strength, coupled with his splendid el:ntrol of the ball, gained him new | the balls used, claiming they were too any kind of an opponent, hecause he heavy and not fast enough.

The last match of the series for the championship of the California Asso- ciation Football League was won by the Oakland Hornets with a score of 11 goals to 0 against the Pickwicks. | This victory puts the Oakland Hornets fifth in the table of results of the league matches for the season and ahead of the Occidentals and Pick- wicks. The Independents lost the toss and had to play against the wind in the first period. Soon after the ball had been put into play rain began to fall and continued until the end of the| match. From the start the play was fast | and furious, the Independents playing a quick game and getting past the de- fensive line of the Thistles several times. Neither side was able to score in the first period, though the Scotch team had three corner Kkicks. In the second perfod the Fndepen- dents, having the wind with them, pressed the Thistles hard and the clever passing of the Thistles’ forwards was, seriously interfered with by the slippery ground. At last a hard kick from one of the Thistles' forwards sent the ball clean between Mechels’ legs. 1t slipped through the hands of Forbes, making the first goal for the Thistles. | Later a free kick was given to the In- | dependents, a good kick to P. Fay, who headed it into the net, equalizing the score. Then an Independent kicked the ball into the mouth of the Thistles’ goal. Lowe saved it and put it into the field. One of the Fays then-kicked it into the net and the Independent supporters became delirious. Referee Robinson simply awarded a free kick. In the last few minutes of play Mechels scored a second goal for the Independents, mak- ing the score read: Independents, 2 goals; Thistles, 1 goal. Arthur Robin- son was referee, with C. W.

The star does all the fine work of the place, and always has more to do than she can accomplish, because there are none of the other forty workers competent to lend a hand. She makes her $22 to $25 per week on plecework all the year around, and hasn't taken so much as a lady's vacation for two years. The other girls make $9 a week. and that for only six or eight months of the year. “We don’t make many of the finest kind here in the country, though,” said the star rosemaker. “They usually have to import them. They haven't enough skilled workers here to supply big or- ders, and it doesn’t pay the manufae- turers to do special orders. This sort,” picking up a small June rose, “this sort a fairly good worker can make a gross of in one day and two hours of the next. I have made other kinds, though, where flye were considered a fine day's work. They had 175 pieces, though, with eighteen different shapes and sizes of petals In each rose, and every one of the 175 had to be put in its proper place or the whole rose was ruined.”—Leslie’s Monthly. —— e It is now stated that the real rea- son why bullets were used in the re- cent sham fight at Camberley is that the authorities wished to thoroughly exercise the troops in taking cover, ORDER FOR THE GREAT TWENTIETH CENTURY COOK BOOK.
