Mm land, Dlaying for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Haverford College on July 12, 1900. T. L. Taylor, also of Lord Hawke's team, while still a boy at Up pingham School, England, on July 15. 1SS«, scored 106 runs against the Haverford Col lege teanj_at Upplngham. . \ ¦ Two centuries in one innings have been made on five occasions In California. - On July 29, 1894, playing for the Bohemian Club against the California Club, W. Robertson scored 206, not out, and A. G. Sheath compiled 118, not *>ut. On Septem ber 13, 18S6, playing at Golden Gate for the Pacific eleven vs. the California Club, Har old B.

On August 4, 1901, on the Ala- Seven poachers were arrested onThurs day for shooting over tile preserves of the Peerless and Dixon Gun clubs. They had seven shotguns and two rifles. ¦ They had already killed a wagon load of ducks when they were apprehended. They will be tried in Davisvllle, and the gun club officers promise a vigorous prosecution. Clarence Lewis and Dr. C. J. Tarr shot at the Suisun Club preserve on Wednes day as the guests of Jack Wilson. Each secured a limit bag of fifty. \ A number of men have tried sculling the sloughs about Suisun. They find this unprofitable, except on the days when the owners of . preserves are shooting. This sets the birds In motion and gives the man on the sloughs a chance. When there is no shooting on the preserves the birds remain undisturbed on the pond3 feeding. The plains near Davisville are literally covered with geese. Bay Farm Island, near Alameda, Is a favorite resort of gunmen. The majority of them secure boats and are sculled about where the birds are to be found. The boats are so disguised that they re semble a part of a mudbank. One man does the sculling while the other is con cealed in the bow ready to open fire when ever a duck comes within range. There are great numbers of "cans" to the bay, but they remain there and are difficult of approach. It Is expected a good storm would set them In | motion, thus giving everybody a chance at them. The Yolo marsh southeast of Davlsvllle is fairly carpeted with ducks. There Is an Immense area here which is covered with the overflow from the Sacramento River. This great lake affords excellent feed for the ducks, and also a safe ref uge. Unless there is a strong wind blow ing the ducks remain out on the broad body of water and a gunner cannot ap proach within range. A party made up of A. I* Foster, R. E. L. Stephens, J. H. McCune, Moscow Gar nett and B. F. Newby shot over this dis trict on Wednesday, securing: a Joint bag of 90 ducks, 5 geese and 2 swans. The ducks included mallard, sprig and teal, but no "cans.". The sportsmen have found a new men ace to game which has not been apparent until this season. Many of the ducks killed are so saturated with oil as. to ren der them unfit for use. The oil comes from tho refineries about the bay and floats a long distance. Otto Feudner killed a duck near Alvlso last Sunday that had been spoiled by oil. Some time since he killed one as far north as Den verton. This shows what a wide area is affected. Many new men have taken up the sport this year. /This Is readily seen in the gun stores, where double the number of men are employed solely in loading shells by hand. These are for the well-to-do sportsmen who shy at the factory loaded ammunition. '; THE duck shooters continue to enjoy sport of the highest class. The hays and marshes contain countless thou sands of ducks of all varieties. When these are set In motion limit bags are easily obtained. Ducks Were x Never So Plen tiful Within the Memory of Veteran Sportsmen Limit ' Bags Are the Rule Among the Members of Clubs Owning Preserves MARSHES YIELD SPORT TO MEN OF THE GUN CENTURIES SCORED IN CALIFORNIA CRICKET. •Nof out.

Though the accounts connected with the match played on Wednesday, November 26, between Lord Hawke's team and the California eight een, have not. been settled yet,. it is clear that there will be a surplus to go into the treasury, of the association. J It has been decided to send an American team of cricketers, . to be called the Gen* tlenuen of Philadelphia, to Great Britain next year. It is intended to arrange matches with the leading county teams of England,' such as Yorkshire, Lancashire, Surrey;' Middlesex,.

Manager Fisher of Sac ramento refused to meet the Eastern club's terms and- consequently Cutter signed with Milwaukee at a good salary. Fisher will probably sign some old brok en down star of the past to take Cut ter's place and give him a big salary, only to be handed one more gilded bar. Two good games will be played by the amateurs to-morrow on the Oakland dia mond. The Reliance and the Heesemans •will meet In the first game and the Bul letins and the Jesse" Moores "will mix it for the second attraction. The boys are Improving with every game played and to-morrow's battles are sure to prove ex citing. They are expected to attract a Icrge attendance from this city. The league managers do not seem to consider native talent at all and prefer to import a lot of men who are all tn and cannot deliver the goods. Baseball Is a great game — the most popular outdoor sport in this country, but still the public gets too much of it sometimes. It seems thjsv season would come near being one of those times. Al ready the fans are becoming weary and fail to show at Recreation Park, Unless their attitude changes' In a hurry, the Eastern stars 'will not be on velvet as they expected. However, they are sure to draw well during the first two weeks of their en gagement. The first week will be devoted to a series of five games between the All Americans and the Oaklands, and during the second week, the All Nationals will mix it with, our champions. The fans ¦will surely flock, to get a glimpse of these exhibitions, but after that, inter est is likely to be on the wane. The California Players' League, which is in full blast, is attracting attention among the admirers of the game and biV fair to prove a success. Two games a»-e played every Sunday on the Oakland diamond, the-first at 12:30 and the second at 2:90. One admission entitles the fan to view both battles, which is certainly good value for the coin. ,~"v- This amateur league has several play ers on its list who are made of the right t tuff, and will make good in fast com pany If^they are given a chance by the magnates of the California. League. All the lads are working hard for an oppor tunity to display their prowess and the most promising of them should not be overlooked by those in authority. Among the headliners of this class are Neaton, shortstop for Reliance; Nichols, pitcher. Reliance; Tyson, pitcher. Reli ance; Baum, pitcher, Jesse Moores; Mc- Kay, pitcher, Hessemans, Byrnes, catch-' er. Reliance, and Muller, outfielder, Jesse Moores. These are coming men and if given the right chance"should certainly develop. * >»- Delmas and of the Ponies, and Cutter and Thomas of the Senators arts, examples of California amateurs vwho have- made good in fast company. Each of these boys created a good impression from the start and outplayed most of the high-salaried stars who were imported from the East. and Sacramento, and a game in Ik>s Angeles between Los Angeles and Oak land. The fan may then take off his hat end say good-by to the season, of 1902 and to many of Its players who will prob ably never be seen in California again. Then, with but a few days' intermission, the high art talent representing the Am erican and National leagues, will swoop down upon us and endeavor to hold our attention for a few weeks longer. As a consequence, we will be viewing baseball games until the middle of January. After a two months' rest, the national pastime will be inaugurated for the season of 1303.
