Camea Played Yesterday The; Amateur Kecords. The only occurrence of interest in baseball kircles during the week was the departure of burke for Detroit, where he will pitch during Ihe remainder of the season, unless he does hot prove a success.

Van Ualtren arrived in Chicago on Saturday and was given a reception. The loss of these two pitchers will materially weaken two clubs of the California Lcasue. All the baseball news of the week, to-pether with accounts of the various games Vlayed yesterday, will be found below The Military Leacue. The Third Regiment nine won a decisive vic tory from the boys of the First Regiment yesterday at Central Park. The first two innings were Very closely and evenly contested, but after that the First Regiment team went to pieces and allowed their opponents to pile up runs in tvery inniDg but the last; The game was quite an Improvement on the previous exhibitions of the Military League tlubs, and lacked the bickering and kicking Which the clubs indulged in during the previous games.

The Third team had their strongest nine in the field and were resolved to add another trame to their credit, and they carried tmt their resolution in such a manntr as to demoralize their competitors. There is one bad trait about the First Regiment team. They lack discipline on the field and seem to play in a reckless sort of a manner. In yesterday's game the men changed their positions so often that the spectutorb were puzzled to know who was fcrho. The battery work of McDonald and MoGnire and the plaving of Collet at second base for the Thirds were the features of the game.

Dundon, although deaf and dumb, is said to be a hard kicker. Baseball plavers as a rule have very queer ways of expressing themselves. If a player is any way close and saves his money, they say that he blows" his salary in the bank and puts handcuffs on it The baseball headquarters on O'Farrell street are supplied with a museum under the management of Arthur Pope. Among the curiosities is an old fossil who witnessed the debut of Live Taylor on the diamond. Van Haltren sent a dispatch to a friend yesterday stating that he would make his first appearance with the Chicagos to-day in the game against Boston.

A complete account of the game will appear in the Examiner. President Mone says that the principal reason for not establishing clubs in the difierent interior cities is that tbey have no inclosed grounds. Let the California League people signify their willingness to establish the clubs and the people will quickly inclose the grounds. A petition to the President of the California League is in circulation amongthe business men of the city. It is a request that the Saturday afternoon games commence at 3:30 P.

M. and that a portion of the grand stand be reserved. A team composed of representatives of the bar, under the captaincy of Justice Page, and an aggregation of physicians, under the command of Dr. Day, will soon compete at Central Parle The lawyers want Judge Hornblower as a coacher, and the medicos are anxious for Coroner Stanton's service in the same capacity. Baseball is the principal topic of conversation in Chicago.

It is said that if a barber or bartender applies for a position in that burg, he is first asked if he believes himself capable of entertaining the patrons with a dissertation on the national game, and the wonderful strength of the Alta club. Fred Lang, formerly of the G. M's, is leading the batting and fielding list of the Western League. In a letter received by Mr. Moran a few days age, he says that he is rapidly developing into a pitcher.

He is anxious to return to Oakland, and will probably be with his old team before the close of the season. I think the Cleveland babies will show np very strong," said a Memphis fielder to his wife the other evening. Mercy on me," exclaimed Mrs. I never knew Mrs. Cleveland had a baby, let alone twins.

Now the Whitneys "Come off; I mean the Cleveland baseball club." Oh you do, do you." Exchange. The Chicago Club in its first championship game at home wore a new uniform of the finest quality, and different from anything the team had ever worn before. In fact it was decidedly pretty and unusually costly, but has never been worn since that first game when the Chicagos were badly beaten before 8,000 people, as the players regard the clothes as a hoo-doo and resolutely refuse to don them again. Sporting Life. Tom Brown made a splendid throw from deep middle field to third base on Monday, to catch Thompson, who was making for that bag on a two-base hit Whitney didn't have to move for the ball, but so anxious was be to retire Thompson that he muffed it Brown has demonstrated that he is one of the longest aud most accurate throwers in the country.

Pittsburg Referee. The Stockton people were made jubilant by the victory of the A. fe over the G. Two of the principal players in the Oakland team could not play on account of the extreme heat, aud the remainder of the club were almost faint from exhaustion before the second inning, was concluded. It is believed that the Detroits would be shut out without a hit if they played in Stockton.

The price of a baseball pitcher fluctuates In much the same style as wheat and coffee. One day, after a series of defeats, his release can be purchased for $1,000 or less. The following day he will pitch a winning game and make an excellent record, and his price will rise 100 per cent If he continues his good work he is out of the market altogether and cannot be bought at any figure, but if he lapses into the old rut of defeat, down goes the figure. Kelly's name no longer arouses intense enthusiasm whenever me tioned, and his presence on the ball field is now regarded in about the same light as any other player. Kelly has been doing but ordinary work this season.

Several of the Boston team lead him in batting, while at second base or in right field he has displayed no brilliant qualities. In base running, in energy and behind the bat he is the same old Kel," but there the line must be drawn. JHtU-burg Referee. Umpire Van Court has presented Fred Carroll of Pitlsburg with a wire mask. It is made of No.

Youdi Whistler and Jacob Green are matched to wrestle Grieco-Roman, best 2 falls out of 3, at the Irish-American Athletic ciubrooms, on Saturday night for the entire gate receipts and the featherweight championship of the Pacific Coast. The form shown recently by John and Bob Hair in the championship meeting of the Ama teur Boxing Association nas created a sensation in London, The young men swept all honors ahead of them in the light and middleweight classes respectively. Speaking of the younger brother, Metier sporttng Ltfe says: Light-weight com- petition brought lorwara one of the most- promising amateur boxers seen for sometime. J. Hair, North ixntion a.tj.

J. Newton (London) were the remaining couple. Jones, who John Hair. recently won a corn- petit ion iu Birmingham, came up with a big reputation, but in ewton be founa a loemau worthy of his steel, the "Brum" only getting the verdict after an exciting struggle. Hair and Jones then fought out the final, with the result that the Blsize youth, who throughout exhibited iorm oi tine highest class, won without being extended.

Hair, it will be Interesting to know, was 19 years of age last January, ana stands sx feet in his socks, ibis is bis first season as a boxer, his last and first being in the nine-stone contest for novices at the Belsize B. C. meeting, where he also easily piacea the honors to bis credit Possessing an immense reach, and any amount of stamina and pluck. Hair will undoubtedly prove a most troublesome customer for any one near his weight who has the temerity to oppose him. In the novices' competition there were eight entries against young Hair.

His weight in the last com petition was less than 140 pounds. Speaking of the work done by Bob Hair In the middle-weight class when the competition had narrowed down to B. Vernon and Hair, the sporting paper says: By an amazing fluke Ver non managed to deliver a crashing right-hander on Robert's Jaw, which, amidst the wildest excitement, sent him to the boards. By an extraordinary effort Hair came to before the allotted time and then Vernon received such a pasting as very few have witnessed with the gloves and in the same space of time. Round the ring did Hair welt Vernon, until, getting his right well home underneath the jaw crash went the latter upon the boards.

Bob Hair. Instead of Hair retiring to his corner, as nnder Queensberry rules, and waiting for ten seconds to see whether his adversary would rise. Vernon was carried to his corner, and after a minute had expired the battle was renewed. We saw Vernon in the dressing-room after this boot and we have also seen Bat Mnllins exhibit a photograph of Heenan taken after the fight witn Savers, and really we don know which face exhibited the most marks of disfigurement. Vernon or the late Jonn u.

The oinciai programme oi me meet nas ap peared, ana compares very lavoraoiy wun ine one for the aunual meet of the league at St.

Louis last month. It reflects great credit on the Programme Committee. Wreatllnsr In Santa Rosa. The only sport advertised to take place at Santa Rosa yesterday nnder the auspices of Seymour and Mathews was a mounted wrest ling match between Sergeant Davis and Sam Mathews. The contest was short, sharp and de cisive, and, although only two rounds were essayed, the gladiators were exhausted by the extreme heat- In the first set-to Davis' horse was restive, ana Mathews unseated his antagonist in a few moments, but found it difficult to get both of his feet on the eround.

This was. however, finally accomplished, and the fall was declared in his lavor. After a short breathing spell the horses were rushed to the center of the field, Davis leaving his own horse and mounting that of his onnonent. The struggle was apparently in Davis' favor, as he succeeded in dislodging Mathews, whose saddle be secured. Mathews keot one foot lifted, and secured what is known in sporting circles as a half-Nelson on the horse, with which hold the animal was thrown.

The two men then wrestled over tbe body of the horse, and the fall was again awarded to Mathews, which concluded the exhibition. The referee chosen was Jack Seymour and the time keeper mil uaiy. The 100 reward which had been offered for any one who could throw either Mathews or Davis was not contested for, as no one seemed disposed to run the risk. The Butchers IMenlc. The Butchers' Protective Union of San Fran cisco held their second annual picnic at San Jose yesterday.

At 8 o'clock in the morning they formed In procession at Huddy's hall and marched to the train at Fourth ana lownsena streets, lea oy their Marshal and the President. Mark Strauss. On arriving at San Jose they were met by the butchers of that city to the number of forty, on horseback, who formed an escort to Live Oak Grove, where the picnie was held.

Simon- son of fiew York was entertained at dinner in this city by the well-known epicures, C. Harri son of the Anglo-Nevada Insurance Company, L. Van White, Vice-President of the Stock Board A. G. Gurnette, Frank Stone, J.

N. Buf fington and Charles Marchutz. Captain Simon- son was a known bon-viveur, and, as a delicate compliment to his palate, the local men caused a number of pompino to be sent here from Mon terey bay, about the only place on the coast where large ones could be procured. The fish reached the table in due time, some weighing one aud a half pounds. Their silvery backs glistened delightfully in a sauce made by John Bergez himself and were fit for a king.

The Captain, however, did not enthuse over the dainty dish, and, in fact, in a subsequent con versation he spoke of larger fish which, bv rea son of their size, were less filled with small bones aud which he bad eaten down South. We catch 'em ten or twelve pounds each down in Mobile, he said, and the size of the joke, as it was understood by his listeners. caused another bottle to be ordered. The Cap tain aiu not take Kinaiy to tne suspicion cast on his veracity and promised that some day he wouia swipe out ine cioua resting upon mm. He did it in ereat shape on Tuesdav last Con signed to John Bergez came, throueb Wells.

The freight alone amounted to $19 85, and the cost ior care, ice ana other things on the road figured as high as $50. in at a pompino ot tnat weignt naa Deen found and sent here created some excitement among the epicures. They absolutely flocked around Bergez's, and on Wednesday they lunched on the monster that had upset all their iueas on the fishery question. Fishing on the bay between Point Tiburon and Lime point was quite poor during the last week, the tides being below the average, with strong winds.

The favorite ground for rock cod has been off the point south of Old Suucelito, where the fish taken are quite small, with a few codfish occasioually weighing up to one and a half pounds each. Smelt fishing has been fair with rod from the wharves and trestle works at Richardson's bay. One feature noticeable of late has been the numbers of ladies who go fishing in the boats between Yellow bluff and Sauce ii to. Sunday last seven boats containing ladies were anchored in those waters. Smelt fishing at the railroad wharf.

Oakland. is reported as good, some catches being from xuu to iau witn one roa. Sea fishine near Bolinas. Marin county, is re ported as excellent Rock cod, sea trout, caber-sonnes aud perch of large size are caught from Duxbury reef three miles distant, and large white perch and smelts at the entrance of the bay, near the hotel. Fishing on Duxbury reef is done with rod and line, the best catches being made in the narrow channels through which the tide ebbs and flows.

A party of sixteen persous has been organized to leave this city on the late train next Saturday for San Rafael, from whence they will go by stage the same evening to Bolinas, and return the Tuesday following. The steamtug Sea Lion made a trip to Cordell Bank last Sunday, where the party on board, fishing four hours, took 1,700 pounds of fish, the largest one weighing fourteeu pounds. Black bass fishing at Crystal Springs reservoir has been poor during the past week. One week ago yesterday the heat at noon was 110 degrees in the shade, fairly driving anglers to shelter. Parties at San Andreas reservoirthe past week report fishing quite poor, although trout in abundance were leaping out of water about sundown.

On Wednesday Messrs. Durkee and Lindsey, who were fishing, reported trout by hundreds leaping out of water in the same manner near Brushy point but they would not take the bait or fly. The water in this reservoir, as well as Crystal Springs, is reported to be much discolored with water weeds growing from ten feet depth to the surface. This probably accounts for the unpleasant taste of the water used in the western portion of this city. A Mr.

Cummings and friend, who have just returned from a visit to Gualala river, report trout as abundant and fishing very good. These parties report a catch of over GOO trout, as the result of two days' fishing in the Gnaiala river. The route to Gualala riveris by the North Pacific Coast Railroad, leaving at 7:30 a. to Ingram's station, and thence by fctage, arriving the same day about 9 o'clock in the evening. A lumber-mill has a railroad running up the river-bank for about seven miles, over which two trips are made daily, so that anglers can go to such parts of the river and return without expense or inconvenience.

The Fish- Commissioners are giving a great deal of time to their duties in carrying out the laws of the State. Practically, only two of the commissioners are in service, viz: Messrs. Rou-tier and Sherwood, their colleague. Commissioner Harvey, residing at Los Angeles, too far away to.do good service in this part of the State. The commissioners are hampered for want of means, as the appropriation for the fiscal year wiis exhausted by their predecessors prior to January 1st.

The appropriation for 1887 and 1888 will become available after the 1st proximo, and with collections from boat licenses and fines for violation of law, will enable the commissioners to domuch work that is needed. Writing to a party in this city, under date of June 23d, Commissioner Sherwood says: "Since our last meeting, June 10th, much work has been done looking to the suppression of illegal fishing aud for better protection and propagation of fish. Twenty-one arrests have been made for illegal fishiug, and in each case convictions have beed mane. The patrol has been busy and did good work on the bay and rivers, and no doubt much less illegal fishing is carried on now than there was last year at this time. Complaints of sawdust and giant powder in the streams in Siskiyou county have been investigated and action taken to stop these violations of law.

On the Truckee river fish ways at the various dams are being constructed and by fall that stream will be in a passable condition for fish. Obstructions in Donner creek have been removed and a free passage opened to Donner lake. At the Shelbey trout-butchery there are Tahoe trout in process of hatching, and we have put 400 black bass in Cache creek, Yolo county." In addition to the foregoing. Commissioner Routier has paid a visit of inspection to the dam and paper mill on Paper Mill creek, at Camp Taylor and Taylorsville, Marin county, and it is now understood the owners of the dam have promised to put in a fish l.idder under the direction of the Commissioners, and that no more deposits of spent acids or bleaching powders will be made in the creek. In addition to the arrests mentioned by Commissioner Sherwood fifty more arrests were made of Chinese fishermen on Friday by the Fish Patrol for using nets of illegal-size meshes in the bay in this and Alameda county.

It is understood that Chief of Patrol Willage intends to make a clean sweep of all nets of illegal-sized mesh in the bay with the view of stopping the taking of immature fish, which are chiefly dried and exported to China. If this programme is strictly carried out the fish-eatiug population will within the next two years rind more abundant supplies in the markets and at reasonable prices. At the present time most of the fish sold in this city at retail cost more than the finest cuts of beef, mutton or lamb, and are too high in price to admit of purchase by the poorer classes. PEPPERING' THE TARGET. Tne Swiss Rifle Snoot Practice at Shell Mound.

Affairs circles were quite lively yes terday on the city front There was a large attendance at the boat- houses. The scullers were hard at work preparing for the regattas. Walter Blake and Charles Long were the first to row over the course in their shells, followed later by Growney, Stevenson, Ellis, Dougherty, Dean and Henry Peterson. John Muirhead improves with practice. He increases the length of his roaw each Sunday.

At present it extends as far as the oil wharf. While taking his usual Sunday spin, in company with Charlie Lipp, he caught a crab and almost went out of his shell. He was heard to exclaim: "Golly, Charlie, I wouldn't have Growney see me go overboard for the earth." A crew composed entirely of boatbuilders. consisting oi J. u.

E. Kobb of the Dolphins, although a new man in a racing barge, rows like an old veteran. Jim Brennan took a spin over the course in Wherrv. the first time in some years. Dan Dougherty is improving, and says that it is only a matter oi time before ne ana lime Steve come toeether.

Mike Price discarded the brewery route and rowed along the water front Henry Peterson is in receipt of a communication from Dibble, the backer of Beach, inviting him to Australia. No doubt Pete would make a good race with any of the best men in the Colonies. The Pioneers had a crew out composed of Pat Brannan, Lou Moore, Robert Crowley ana jonn Sullivan. They went over the course in the club's new tree. A crowd of about two hundred people aasem- Died to see tne Ariel professional crew lane their usual practice spin.

W. Wall. Walter Blake and Dennis Griffin will accompany the Ariel Club to Stockton on next Saturday afternoon. Adam Sbuppert one of the Dolphin amateur crew, is indisposed, but expects to be able to resume training by Tuesday. Since Growney began to snow sucn improve ment in nis rowing, tne nopes ox nis many admirers have risen, and they conjure up an exciting picture of his paddling easily homewards with his opponents puffing along a mile in the rear.

It is auireested bv the Long Bridce men that tne single-scull race on tne 4tn De startea in tne forenoon in order to insure smooth water. Growney suvs: "Put another week training on that man Dean and the question will be. Where will Long and myself be at the finish." The Pioneer Club will enter two amateur crews in the four-oared barge race. The Dolphin crew are training from the Ariel Club-house. Owine to the indisposition of Adam Shnppert, Conway filled his place in the crew and led the amateurs a lively stroke.

The South Ends will be represented at the Long Bridge regatta by Dean in the singles, and an amateur and professional crew in the lour-oared barge races. The Ariel crew will leave for Stockton on the steamer next Saturday afternoon. Pat Murphy's stroke of the Golden Gates' amateur crew having hurt his wrist there is a doubt about his crew taking part in the Stockton regatta. The Gates have not an available man to put in his place. The Long Bridge critics think that the South End Club have the call in the professional and the Dolphins in the amateur Barge races.

There was an exciting spurt between the Ariel barge crew and Dean aud Growney. The siugle-scullers got the lead and held it easily. It is said that Pat Brennan. Lou Moore. R.

Crowley and J. T. Sullivan have formed a crew to represent the Pioneer Club in. the professional barge race on the Fourth. The Stockton CJub crew is training hard for their contest against the Ariels.

The Pioneer professional crew has taken a practice spin over the three-mile course every night during the past week. The South End professional crew commenced training last Saturday night Dean, the. new addition, is a strapping fellow and rows a single oar in good form under the able command of Captain Dougherty. The Dolphin amateur crew has got down to steady practice and takes a row of several miles every evening. The South Ends had two barge crews out over the course.

The Fourth of July Regatta Committee nave made no definite decision as to the amount of money to be awarded for the differents events, and the rowing men are getting anxious as to the outcome of the committee's programme. It is aDout time ine entries were made, referee and iudges selected and other important ar rangements attended to. It is reported that the Golden Gates contemplate a thorough reorganization of their club in tne near tuture. Billy Thomas of the South Ends denies the report that he has been selected to take George Dnplissie's seat in the Big Four. Fred Smith says: "I may melt in the race at Stockton, but if I do that old bow oar will melt with me." No matter how windy the weather or roueh the water the Ariel crew can be seen, every evening rowing over the three-mile course in their barge.

It is a strong one and pulls In much better form than any other crew that has been got together by the Ariel Club. Cochran, the stroke, has a record of starting in five four-oared races and finishing first in four of them. The Peterson brothers in the waist are regarded as the best men who have filled that position since the days of the Kecgans, and Fred Smith, the veteran bow-man, is conceded to be second to none in that position. They are training in their club barge, but in their race against the Stocktons will use the Amity's boat as they will not be able to take more than two practice pulls in her before the race. Under these conditions they can hardly become accustomed to the new boat ana will tnerefore labor under consider able of a handicap.

Nevertheless, the Ariel boys feel confident of making a close and excit ing contest with the champion Stocktons. Sam Watkins will accompany the Ariel crew to Stockton. The Golden Gate Rowing Club, which some years aco held tne lead in aquatic affairs, has come almost to a standstill. The dust is gather ing on its racing craft, and except a change takes place very soon it will, like the St George Club and other once prosperous organizations, be numbered as one of the things of the past Success in racing is essential to the prosperity of any club, and the Golden Gates have in their recent contests been unfortunate, some one of their crew being indisposed or injured just be- iuic Liic race.

The old story of Sulle-van and Sylle-vestar," as told so cleverly by a number of comedians regarding a supposed fight between the champion and an Astoria fisherman, comes to the front at this late day in a rather clever manner from the St Joe Kid," who related it to J. B. McCor- mick. The Kid stated, so it is given to the Examiner, that "I was in Miles City, Montana, when Sullivan announced there that he would meet all comers, and give any one $500 who lasted him four rounds. There was a big lclibw named Spocavitch in the town at the time and he was without a dour-t the strongest man I ever saw.

He weighed 2SO pounds, was as hard as nails and measured around the biceps eighteen and a half inches. He had been anxiously awaiting Sullivan's arrival aud felt sure he could eet away with him.

His sister Kate was by his bedside at his death. His mother greeted him on his entrance into spiritland. "There comes to me the spirit of a man who calls himself John Plucar. wbo passed away in the East Indies. He did not know whether his relatives and friends in the form knew of his death.

CALIFORNIA SPIRITUALISTS. Sojourner From the Est Refers to Novices Who If art the Cause- There was a large and enthusiastic audience present yesterday morning at the Spiritualists' camp meeting, held on the east shore of Lake Merritt Mr. Wilson presided, and introduced the well-known Californian, J. J. Owen, editor of the Golden Gale, who delivered an ad dress on the philosophy of spiritualism, which was listened to with marked attention.

He claimed that a belief in it does not necessarily ancct one moral and religious nature any more than would a belief in the nebulous hypothesis. Yet there is that within the former that is well calculated to arouse the religious sentiment and unfold tbe spiritual nature of man as can a belief in no other fact in nature. Mr. Owen Frtoke at great lentrth. and at the con clusion of his address.

J. J. Wheclock. a well-known Spiritualist from the East, was introduced, lie began by stating that platform mediums do not give public sittings until tney nave naa great experience, lie took the ground that novices were liable to make mistakes, which would hurt the general cause. In his experience he knew of three mediums, namely, Joseph Styles.

John Slater and Frauk Baxter, whrwe platform tests were beyond question, lie concluded by savine that his visit would cover two months, and that he would be heard from again. His remarks were loudly applauded. At the conclusion 01 Mr. neeiock di course President Wilson said that he could not indorse all tnat had been said by the gentleman from the East. lie objected to particularizing, for he had heard all three of the gentlemeu named by Mr.

Wheeloek denounced as frauds. Mr. Wilson claimed that California bad me diums the equal of any of the three gentlemen. This week's programme, as far as it has been arranged, is as follows: aionuay evening, platform tests ry nr. tiesa- ineer, whose public sitting Saturday night ex cited to much applause.

We learn also that the present cashier of the Treasury, Mr. Williams, is the same Williams who in the days of yore used to be the pitcher of the Nationals.
