PANTHERS TIGHT A SEA UON.

(From the San Francisco Call )
A battle royal occurred on Hog Island !
yesterday between two large panthers and
a gigantic sen lion A torn and bloody
panther stdn and a flipper of the sea lion,
wfeicfc was torn off during the struggle,
Bear evidence of the encounter
Hag Intend is abutted near the mouth f
Tetanies Bay. and its only inhabitant is
Ijewia Johnson, whose vocation is that of
fisherman and chicken farmer. Yesterdav
SaraaH Short, a resident of Tomales. paid
Johnson a visit with the intention of buy
ing some chickens. The two men were
standing watching the antics of a number
of sea lions on a reef where their rookery
is attnated. when they became aware that
something unusual was going on The sea
Hon began to bellow and all dived into
tne water except one huge fellow wbo
stood his ground and appeared to be
watching something In a moment the
cause of the alarm became manifest, when
two large panthers which had swum from
mainland, crawled upon the reef and made
for the sea lion
They pounced upon the big fellow and a
struggle immediately ensued that made fie
two human witnesses of the ban e gaze
-1th bated breath The fight progressed
for nearly thirty minutes during which
the edge of the reef was lined with crim
)on foam by the blood flowing f om the
three combatants. Finally one of the
panthers succeeded in tearing a fl pp r off
the sea lion, when, with a hoarse bellow of
anger, the wounded bull grasped one of
tne panthers by the throat and dragg d it
into the water The sea lion was about to
drown the panther, and would have suc
ceeded if he had not become weakened
from loss of blood As be released his ad
versary Lewis, wbo bad previously been
too fascinated to move, ran to his house
tor a rifle and returned in time to kill one
af the panthers as they made another at
tack apon the sea lion The other pirtber
sprang into the water and swam for the
niainiaad at the crack of the gun, while
tne sea lion struggled rat toward the ocean
to die.

Since the announcement was made in
this column last week that the Y M C
A athletic department will introduce in
door baseball here, a number of enquiries
have been received as to how the game is
plaved
In answer to these enquiries and for the
general information of those interested in
amateur sports, a brief outline of the
method of playing and excerpts from the
rules of the game are herewith given
The game was invented m Chicago in
187 by George W Hancock, and since its
introduction as a winter sport has rapidl
grown in popularity especially in its b rth
place, where theie are some half dozen
leagues St. Louis, Milwaukee, Denver,
and some of the Eastern and Southern
cities, each have leagues
The game can be plaj ed in anj ha 1
which has sufficient light and room for ths
diamond and fielding, about th sirall ";t
piaving field permissible being: 4vJ bj 60 eet.
Of eourse the larger the field tho greater
the possibilities of fielding and runn.ng.
The regulations and rules are made to
equalize the difference of fielding and gen
eral conditions from outdoor baseball
The space allotted for plaj being com
parative! j small, the spectators and players
are brought cloae together and tne lnpul
action of such exciting nature, that there
is little wonder that it is so popular and
exhilarating It is a game which calls fdr
more agiKty than strength
The Diamond.
The diamond, says, the American Sport's
Publishing Co 's rules book, is laid at
one end of the hall, leaving room for the
catcher, who alwajs plajs close behind the
batsman The bases, except the home plate
are 1 1-2 feet square and are mads of caD
vass, half filled with sand or a similar
substance The home p'ete is of rubber
and 13 one foot square Each side of the
d.amond is twenty-seven feet long and a
base is placed in each corner and need
not be fastened to the floor The distance
from first to third is 3S 1-4 feet The
pitcher's box Js 7x3 feet with the line drawn
across the box IS inches from the rear end,
the nearest line of said box to be twentj
two feet from the centre of home base Foul
lines must be drawn from the outer corner
of the home base along the outer edge of
the first and third bases to the boundaries
of the field so that the bases shall come
within the diamond
Eight plajers ma, but generally nine
constitute a side or team They are
pitcher, catcher, first, second and third
base, left short and right short (in this
game the eentrefielder, comes into the dia
mond and plajs right short) right and left
fielders The short stops usuallj plaj close
to the batter about ten feet on either
side of the pitcher
The H-iII nnil II.it.
The ball must be seventeen inches in
circumference, made of j le'dmg substance,
generally curled horse hair and rubber,
covered with a white skin Tt is a lively
ball and weighs about eight ounces
The bat must be at least Iwo and three
quarter feet long not larger than one and
one-half inches in diameter in its largest
part, made of a strong wood, which will
not be liable to break, and to give It w eight
a metal rod, not larger than one-eighth of
an inch, is passed through its entirp length
The handle may be wound with string or
tape, but to prevent its accidental flying
out of the player's hands into the audience
a hollow rubber ball is affixed to the handle
end The bases are placed looaeiy on
marked spaces, and when displaced by
runnei i sliding into them thev must be
returned to the spaces
The uniforms are the ordinary base
ball padded suits, except that the knees
and hips are more heavilv padded to pre
vent mjurv wh le sliding to bases Rubbe--eoled
shoes are worn The corrugated kind
are the best, to ore em sliding.
Nine innings for each side constitute a
game, and a run is scored each time a
base runner after having legally touched
the first three bases, shall touch the home
base before three men are put out If the
third man is forced out or is put out be
fore reaching first base a run shall not
be scored
It miner utifi Battinmi.
In this game the ex perm ess of the pitch
er has considerable to do with the result
of the game though not as much as that
of the twirler of the outdoor game In
most of the leagues the pitcher is restrict
ed to only straight-arm pitching in which
the arm and hand swing parallel with the
body and the ball is not to be curved
The pitcher faces the batter, both feet on
the ground, wholly within the box, and he
must heel, either with one or both feet, a
line drawn across the box eighteen inures
from rear end of said box, and he shall
not make more than one step fn the act o
delivering the ball.
Of eourse, by agreement betwe n oppos
ing captains, rules as to delivery and even
the curved or straight ball may be chang
ed Then there are the usual rules about
good and bed balls, balks, and illegally de
livered lulls, where, for instance the ball
is delivered when the pitcher is not m his
box, as prescribed Then for the batsmen,
there are the usual rules for strikes, fouls,
and tips
The runner is somewhat handicapped
He must not leave his base when the
pitcher holds the ball standing in his box,
he must not leave his base on a p tchd
bay not struck, until after it has i cached
or passed the catcher on penaltj of being
called back, and he must be on his base
when the pitcher is ready to deliver the
ball to the batsman
Then there are certain rules which pro
tect the runner. If he slides with the bag
and clings to it, or if any part of his per
son is touching the spot where the bag
should be, he is safe, and he is a Ho safe
if he has touched the home plate or the
spot where it should be
Mil Tarn Hither Win,
In returning to first base, after over
running, the baserunoner may turn either
way If in sliding with the bag at any
base, he should stop, he must then return
with the bag to the propct spot before
starting for another base, the same as in
overrunning first base When a base-run
ner i legal!) entitled to return to a base,
tha pitcher must wait a reasonable time for
him to reach the base, on penalty of giving
i he base runner another base for violation
of the rule
Two umpires are generallj in charge of
a game and they alternate behind the bat
and on the base-lineb If a plaver willfully
disobeys the caution of an umpire, he may,
at their discretion be ordered out of the
game and his place be filled, if such decis
ion reduces the side to less than eight plav
ers.
The game is as possible of prettv plajs
and flne execution bj fielders as that plaved
outdoors and called the National game and
lovers of sport raav expect to find plenty of
"xntement in everj game they go to see
played
Those who have seen volley-ball were
pleased with the game and witnesses of in
door baseball have been more then pleased
they have been delighted and ere another
month rolls by we may expect to see a
meeting of indoor baseball "fans," for the
game will be the talk of the town.

that worth? asked a druggist, holding up
for inspection a diamond scarfpin.
The stone was a handsome one, perfect in
color and cutting, and weighing perhaps a
trifle less than a carat. The person to
whom the question was addressed examined
it and then hazarded- "Oh, about $50 or
$7t"
"You don't think I took any chances,
then, m advancing three and a half on it9"
enquired the druggist, smiling. Noting hia
listener's look of surprise, he explained:
"It was left with me bj a morphine fiend.
He wanted, an ounce of tno stuff and had no
monej". As he vvas a regular patron of thu
place, I would have let him have- a small
quantity on tick, but nothing- but an ounce
would satisfj htm, and we don't care to
take anj chances with that class of peo
ple He had to have tne drug, though, and
when he found that It was of no use to talit
credit, he pulled the pin out of his tie and
left it as security I knew just what he
would do, for he's been in here before and
done the same thing I've held tt several
times, before, and shall probably own it
some day The last time it was in here he
left it for six weeks, and I thought it was
mine But he turned up w Ith a roll and re
deemed it, so I'll have to wait. It belongs
to a joung fellow who raakc3 his living bv
his wits rather than by hard work. Strictly
speaking, I suppose you might call him a
crook, but he wouldn't sUal unless all other
means failed him. When he has money he
uses the drug spannglj, but as times grow
hard he spend3 what money he can. ral3e
for morphine and generallj ends bj coming
here and leaving the pin Perhaps he'll
forget it some time That's the way I got
this ring," holding out a solitaire ' Tha
man that owned it left it for some cocaine
That was six or seven jenrs ago, so I gues3
it's mine "
"Do jou have many things left like
that'"
In answer to this question the druggist
said "Just step back here with me and
I'll show jou a collection of pledges that
a pawnbroker would consider himself
lucky to obtain on the same terms " Gdiikj
back to tho safe, he opened it and pulled
out a small drawer. Several rings, auo her
scarfpin, a small chatelaine watch, a fra
ternitj badge, and a silver-mounted re
volver made up tho collection As the
drawer was being shoved back, a small
round box, about two inches in length and
an inch in diameter, rolled to the front of
it This attracted the observer's attention
and in answer to a request for permission
to examine it the druggist handed it to
him It was made of horn and when, the
cover was removed with some difficultv
thero were bits of a heavy, black, gummj
substance chnzinir to the edsres of tae box
The peculiar odor given out from the box j
was unmistakably that of opium I
In response to an enquiring look the
druggist said "That's a hop toi, part of
a opium-smoking outfit. It's used to carry
tho hop or opiumin I had a pipe here
orce, and this belongs to the same person.

months, and I expect him in anj day to

that line occurred about a jear ago I was
alone in the store at the time A fairly
dresned joung fellow came in, and from
the manner in which he acted I vvas sure
that he was after some kind of dope He
walked about looking in the cases and at
the signs, finally bringing up in the back
part of the store Ca'ling me to ono side
he asked if he could get a small bottle of
morphine I questioned him at some

he would have his fling and then go back

patticular occasion he had about reached
the limit of his resources, and the craving
was at its height He wanted a quarter of
an ounce of the stuff and had no money
He pleaded for the stuff, but I said No
money, no morphine,' and he saw I meant
it

Latei in the evening when the clerk had
gone home I was working back of the

the bottle of morphine I had wrapp-d up
for the Westerner I was thinking of him
and wondering whether he had succeeded
in getting the morphine, when I heartl the
