admirable condition, the weather de-
lightful and the players In good
humor for lively contest. j. M.
Sullivan was selected as referee, and OIL
ciated with perfect impartiality, and to the
best of his ability. The game was mix
ture of bad errors, which almost always
gave two bases, and brilliant playing.
Borchers, although his pitching was at
times rather wild, giving Mclaughlin vast
amount of lively work, was hard to ;, lind,
and only two base hits were made oy the
Pioneers, both by Caveney, who In the sec
ond inning achieved a home-run,. by a hit
to right field, and in the seventh inning
sent another ball in the same dlrec-
ton. on the strength of which he
scratched around TO third base. The
Atlas made seven base hits, Mclaughlin
and Borchers each being credited with a
two Dagger. The Atlas made IL errors and
the Pioneers H. Bidwell, of the Snow
flakes, who filled Flint's place. the latter
being gone ON an excursion to Shasta
county, was the success of the day, making
two base hits and four runs, one
for every time at the bat. The Atlas
will probably add him to their nine. and
he promises to become fine player as he
gains experience, and to be as valuable
man to the senior nine as Newbert. also an
ex-Snowhake has been. Mclaughlin was
unlucky in his batting, but did fine work
otherwise. Ahern made three-base hit,

Gagus muffed Newbert's effort. and he
reached first. Fisher famed Robertson

tors in right field. 1t was doubtful hit,
the Atlas claiming that it was foul, but
the umpire declared otherwise After the
Atlas had attained big advantage, their
opponents seemed to become discouraged,
and the latter part of the game was not as
well played by them as is customary. Fol-
lowing is the score in detail:
