even the prune-rlcklng delegation had very
little to say. About the only time there
was a cheer was when a foul ball waa
knocked Into the crowd and descended with
a resounding, whack upon the lid of some

Strlcklrtt of Brooklyn did the pitching
for San Jose and Lellield of Pittsburg for
Stockton. Both twirled good ball and, If

As it waa, the spectators were held up for
double prices and saw town lot ball.
Every base ball or foot ball event of 190$,
conducted without the supervision of a gov
erning body, was a financial failure or de
veloped a scandal. The aerie which the
Buffalo and Columbus clubs started for the
class A championship was not finished, the
Eastern league's representative refusing to
play the last two games. In the post-season
series between the Stockton and San Jose
teams for the championship of the inde
pendent California State league major
league players were Imported by each and
charges of oolluslon were made. The Mas-
lllon-c anion loot ban matcn gave rise in
scandal that haa resulted in a law sun.
The All-Western-Massillon game on
ThanksKlvIng day at Chicago was a finan
cial failure. Each series under the auspices
of the national commission, whether Tor tne
championship of the world or for a city,
has been a success from every standpoint,
but narrow-minded and Bhort-sighted par
ticipants have protested agalnet the com
mlaaion sharing In the proceeds, although
the money thus obtained la applied to the

amateur contents on the Pacific coast this
winter. Th other day a game, or rather a
fluke, was played between San Jose and
Stockton at Oakland, and tha Sporting
News has this to say of it:
The final San Jose-Stockton game played
st Idora park Sunday afternoon was a
farciutl performance which was wen by the
former by the score of 7 to 0. it wasn t the
good playing of the so-called San Jose
team which was responsible for Its victory,
but the poor work of the aggregation which
represented the San Joaquin metropolis.
Captain Danny Shay of Stockton, whom
the New York Giants are trying to Induoe
to return east next season, wns one of the
chief offenders of his side in the matter ot
mlscues. Almost every time he got hold of
the ball he hurled It into the crowd In fact,
the greenest amateur from Cow Hollow
could liave put up aa good a game as tlis
