CHILLY.
Very Uncomfortable Weather Yesterday
for the Atlas and Snowfiakes.

LOT the 4AIJaS ana SnOWHakeS.
The Atlas went to Alameda yesterday to
shear the Pioneers, and came home shorn.
The game was played in the presence of
probably the largest number of people ever
assembled in the State to witness baseball
contest. 1t was a very orderly gathering
for its size, and, while the sympathies of
the larger number were evidently with the
Pioneers the Atlas were well treated, and
whenever they did unusually good work
the applause was generous. Before the
game there was considerable betting done
by the spectators, the Atlas being favorite
at $50 to SIS and even $12 30. De Witt Van
Court ofiiciated as umpire impartially. The
Atlas went to the bat first. Sweeney hit
the ball hard, causing it to strike the
pitcher, McMullen on the leg, making him
lame for the remainder of the game but
he filled the box Notwithstanding The
ball, after hitting him, rolled toward first
baseman, who got it and put Sweeney out.
Meagher hit to first and was put out
Robertson got his base on balls; McLaugh-
Inns was gobbled up by the pitcher. who
sent it to first ahead of him. With this
good showing of three men finding the
ball out of four, even though they did not
score a base, it seemed very likely that the
Atlas would, as soon as they got more used
TO his delivery, hit McMullen unmerci-
fully; but there never was a bigger
| mistake. He improved and they
finally got so that they could not bat
little bit. He struck out" nearly a
dozen of them, while Sweeney performed
that service for only about half as many
Pioneers. The Pioneers were retired in the
first and second innings without making a
run, though in the first Taylor got to third.
In this inning Sweeney made q splendid
running catch of a foul by Hayes. In the
second inning Flint struck safely to third
Ahern's foul was caught by Carroll, behind
the bat; Fisher sent a two-begger to left
field; Newbert fired one sharply to short
(Gagus) who made bad error, letting the
ball go into left field. and Flint and Fisher
tailed. The former would probably have
got home anyway, but Fishers run was
Sweeney was put out at first by Gagus'
assist. That was thesum total of the Atlas
runs. In the third inning Carroll struck
safely to third; McMullen famed Caveny
drove the ball to left field TAYLOR sent
his to third Gagus raised q slSyscraper into
left field where Fisher stood firm, wait
ing for it. Everybody said Dead
out" aud, as Carroll had been stopped
while trying to steal a base. the side
would be out, but Fisher, usually reliable,
muffed it, and CaYeny and Taylor tailed,
the immense crowd yelling with delight.
Gagus tried to make three bags on his hit,
but was put out at third. In the sixth inn
ing the Pioneers added two more to their
score, after two men were out. Hayes and
Buckley famed; Perrier hit to second who
fumbled; Powers sent three-bagger to
right field and brought in Perrier; Carroll
brought in Powers, amidst immense cheer
ing, for Carroll is Il great favorite down
there, and, as he is not very good at the
bat, his friends were delighted with his sue
cess; McAlullen hit TO pitcher, who caught
it. The Pioneers did not make anything
in the seventh and eighth innings, and the
game closed with a score of four to two in
their favor, and an inning to spare. 1t was
evidently their day. as even their poorest
batters found Sweeney now and again,
and they did good fielding. The game was
played sharply by both sides, errors being
few, but costly. One of the incidents was
a handsome running catch by Perrier, and
Flint also did well in that respect. The
two clubs come together again at Sacra-
mento for their next game.
MYsTICs VS.. sNowFLAKEs.
The Mystcs, of Oakland, came up YES
terday and played the Snowfakes, of this
CITY, at OnOWuake 1ark. Inc latter CLUB
being short of a catcher, Brown, of the
GREENWOOD G. Morans, filled the position for
them. There was quite large crowd,
which evidently desired to see fair play,
and gave the visitors a good reception.
They are a well-conducted organization,
and played strong game in gentlemanly
manner. In the first inning Monet, of the
Mystics, reached second through an error
of Evers. and scored on Smalley's hit In
the fifth, Kenney made first through the
error of that baseman, took second on a
passed ball and scored on Kitchens safe
hit. In the eighth, Wilds made first on
force hit, and tailed on 0 Days two-bagger
In the ninth, Kenney's base hit, Kitchens
force and wild throw by Brown let Ken
ney score the winning run. The Snow
fakes made all their runs (3) in the second
inning the second basemans error, a wild
thrown and an error of Wilds, coupled
with pretty good batting, letting G4h,
George and Bidwell score. In the fourth
inning the Snowflakes had men on the
first and second bases, when a liner was
batted to short-stop, who passed it to first,
making double play, which would have
been extended to triple but for the first
baseman making wild throw. In the
sixth inning the Mystics had three men on
bases, with one man out, but were retired
without scoring:
