Another Good Day for the Sacramento
Clubs,

Clubs.
Sacramento baseballists were in great
form yesterday, and full Of strong play,
The Atlas met the Stars, of San Francisco,
at Recreation Park, and downed them
with a score of % to s; and the Amity Club
went out from the city to Brighton to play
the first game since their organization, and
beat the Brighton Boys II to 2 At the
Park a little fun was inserted IN the pre-
iminary proceedings by the presentation
of a fearfullv and wonderfully constructed
hat to Manager Gleason, of the Atlas. The
presentation remarks were a tri1e discon-
nected, and the bashfulness of the recipient
prevented his response from being heard
in the stand but he took so much pride In
the gift that he didn't wear il long-prob-
ably for fear it might get soiled. The
Stars won the toss for choice. II. G. Chip
man was selected as umpire, and the game
commenced Hanly hit the first bail that
was pitched and drove it to right field, and
then followed some very heavy batting and
poor fielding, the entire Alta nine having
turn at the bat, the side finally going out
on hit of Hanly's to second, after scoring
six runs. The Stars, when they went to
the bat, made four runs, through good
batting and errors of their opponents. In
the next inning the Atlas were white
washed, and the Stars had nothing but
goose eggs to their credit for five innings.
The Atlas made five runs in the fourth
inning added seven more in the fifth, two
in the seventh, one in the eighth and four
in the ninth, while the Stars got in one in
the seventh and three in the eighth, the
Atlas in the latter inning hav-
ing become careless. During the
game both pitchers were batted freely.

Mullee struck out three. His friends as
serted that he was at disadvantage in his
pitching, because of the absence of Cree
gan, who usually catches for him, Outflow
being unable to give him full support. The
Atlas got four bases on balls and the Stars
two, which should be charged against the
pitchers as errors. In the sixth inning
Flint struck the ball furiously to Mcguire,

stop against his nose, nearly knocking him
down, and causing the ''claret" to flow in a
stream. 1t was feared that his nose was
broken, but fortunately such was not the
case. However, he was unable to resume
play, and Borehers filed his place
during the remainder of the game.
In the eighth inning Mullee made his
third base very cleverly, jumping clear
over Hanly, who was guarding it and

outs and one assist and Skinner did the
best work. Taken as a whole, the Atlas
all did well. Costello and Flint were the

Barry, Hanly and Robertson made
an excellent double play. Robert
son, the only member of the nine who did
not make a tally, was in bad luck. He
made three fine hits, but two of them were
handsomely caught by Skinner, in left
