More Trouble For the California League An Internal Row Started and Then Smoothed Over Changes in Oakland The Sacramento Runaways -- Fogarty'g Funeral Engagement* and Releases, Etc. SAN FRANCISCO, June 6. Editor SPORT­

ING LIFE: The year 1891 seer.is destined to be one of trouble for the California League. Iso sooner had the difficulty with the Pacific Northwest League been partly settled than internecine strife began. What has actually transpired at llie secret meetings recently held by three of the magnates will probably forever remain a secret to the world at large; but there are leaks in even the closest cor­ porations, and California's tnnjor base ball orgnni2:i(ion has not been able to thoroughly seal up the interstices through which infor­ mation might find egress. In brief, anger overruled discretion, and one of the malin­ gers loosed his tongue where silence would Lave been more beneficial to all concerned.

THE CAUSE OF THE HOW. The trouble began when Co!. Tom Robin-

eon announced his intention of turning over to Captain O'Neil the management of the Oakland Club. When Robinson's proposi­ tion appeared in the public prints the wrath of Manager Finn, of San Jose, was aroused. Sir Michael swore by all his Celtic ancestors that he would never recognize O'Neil as the manager of the Ouklanit team if "Tip" went to San Jose in that capacity.

"He will go buck from San Jose empty- handed," roared the Hibernian delegate as he danced a wrathful jig in Stallings' head­ quarters. "I will never allow O'Neil inside the box office at San Jose. He will not be permitted to take tickets at the gate, nor count the slioa of pasteboard in making up accounts, and I will never pay over to him one cent of the cash collected from patrons."

Finn never courts newspaper notoriety and \fheu his statements arc so boldly made no one doubts his earnestness, Mike can be as stubborn as the mule in the fable when his lines arel crossed, and his fellow-magnates are fully aware of that. After unbosoming himself in the Garden City, Finn boarded the first (ruin for Pan Francisco, bad a hur­ ried' interview with Manager Harris aud telegraphed for Robinson.

When the Colonel arrived* at the League office, it is said, some very pointed and disa­ greeable remarks were directed toward him by Messrs. Harris and Fiiin. The aliiiirs of the Oakhunl team from the opening of the year to the present time were thoroughly gone over nnd Robinson's doings criticised, lie was shown how he could have secured a winning team, simply by engaging men who had been left over from last season, and several sugges­ tions for the future welfare of the tail-end team Were made.

A CHANGE IN THE OAKLAND TEAM. That the conference bore fruit was shown by

the immediate engagement of John P. Cahill by the Oakland magnate, and the dispatching of a telegram tn Jim McDonald, who is in tho North, to return to his former place among the Colonels. Cullill bad been out of n situation Bines the close of last season, despite the fuct .that ho is a hard hitter and clever fielder. Patsv promised sincerely to attend strictly to business, and if he fails to do so will have no one to blame but himself should ho be per­ manently rctir:d,

McDonald was one of tho most popular men in tho California League last season, but the Coionel did not consider him speedy enough for tbe "World Beaters," aa he called tho Oakland job-lot before the present series opened. The Colonel, however, found a number of his men Inferior to McDonald, but was loth to admit his mistake. There will bo hundreds of people at the first game in which Jitn appears, who will go out for the express purpose of giving him a rousing welcome.

As a final result of the conference between the three Leajrue managers, it was decided that Robinson should retain fall control ot the team across the bay, and this he agreed to do. So il the tail enders begin to play better ball nnd capture a few games, everything will once more be serene in tho Oakland camp.

TIIK SACRAMENTO 1SUNAWAYS have been heard from. Frank Ward, instead of going to St. Paul, side-tracked at Spokune, where he played last year, and, it is reported, immediately joined his old love. Jack Huston w.vs not so fortunate. Tho Northwest people did not turn out en masse to greet him. In fact, be was very coolly received by the base ball managers, and it was not until he realized he bad thrown himself upon tho charity of an uncharitable class that ho repented deserting his soft place in Sacramento. He bad the cheek to telegraph back to Manager Ginsberg that he would return to Sacramento if a railroad tickel was forwarded. (Jiasberg did not deign to answer the message.

Ward and Huston, before being liberated from the Portland, Or., jail, were compelled to square up their accounts with Ginsherg, so neither of them are gainers by their crooked and tricky transactions.

When the precious pair jumped their con­ tracts it «as believed two large-sized apertures were left in the Saciamcnto team, but Captaii: J. J. MeClo?key speedily repaired tho damage. Harry O'Day is guarding second baseexjcl- lently, and in lieu of llustou, two young pitcher?, Frank Simpleton nnd Lou Tinlgi, have been engaged. Stapleton pitched his first game after a long absence from active work, and kept tho bits so well scattered that ho pulled out n victory. When in trim he will prove a winner Joung Balsz was taken from the amateur league. Ho had been tried before bv profes­ sional clubs, but could not control the ball. He 1/i'obed for the Senators two days ago an flowed great speed nnd good curves. He was a trifle unsteady in his delivery, but held th Colonels down to three safe shots. Rather a good record for a youngster.

MINOR MENTION. Nick Smith, who now leads the League in

battintr, has been temporarily shelved owing t an injury recived in tho last scries with Sacra mento. He was spiked by Hutcbinson whi the latter was sliding to third. Catcher Pop Swell has been guarding the difficult corner during Nick's absence.

M-anager Harris a few days since displayed ft telegram from the East which he said offered a handsome sum for tbo release of one of the San Francisco team. Harris declined to name the player, but it is currently believed Danny Swee- ney is the man. If the local magnate wishes to avoid a riot among the crank?, he had better not open negotiations fur tbe sale of the midget. Dauny is the idol of local patrons, nnd there woui'd he many sore hearts here if he should be allowed to deport. Besides his popularity, llanny's extraordinary bitting abilities make

him one of the most valuable members of tbe team, nnd it would not be good policy to send him awoy, even though the pocket of his present employer be enriched.

Tbe prompt action of Manager Ginsberg in causing the arrest of Ward and Huston will possibly prevent nnv further di^ertions from tho Sacramento Club should any be contem­ plated. It is fnid, however, that the balance oi the men are satisfied with their lot.

All that was mortal of the lute James G. Fo- garty was consigned to rest in the Catholic cem­ etery of this city last Monday morning. Charles Gagus, the ex ball player; Manager Harris and lleuhen Levv, ol the San Francisco Ball Club, were among the pallbearers. A number of handsome floral tributes were placed on the grave by local mcmhers of tbe profession.

There is trouble in the amateur league, and steps are being taken to prevent the withdrawal of the country teams. A meeting will be held to-night to patch up matters and to adopt a new gehedtilo.

Manager Finn has been dubbed "The Duke of Santa Clara," and the title promises to stick to him so long as he remains at the bead of the San Jose tcnm.

Robinson hnd lines out for pitcher Balsi, when McCloskcy signed the young fellow.

Disappointment Over tlie Team's Rather Poor Showing Efforts to Strengthen, Etc,OLEAN, N. Y., June 5. Editor SPOUTING LIFE:

There are many disappointed people in Olcan over the poor position of (Mean's base ball team in the race, but no one has aa yet broken out into open mutiny. Everybody gives the team credit for earnest work, and by common con­ sent the poor showing is laid to the rather in­ definite reason, ill luck.

However, it seems to be a fact that our pitch­ ers are not yet iu pood form, and it is expected that with the coming of settled warm weather the pitching will improve.

Wo have had three of our best mon laid ofl by illness anil injury during Hit pa>-t week and ooly won one game out of three with Erie on our hooio ground.
