there will be good shooting at grouse and

A San Francisco paper wonders why a
Sacramento audience cannot give a San
Francisco baseball team the enthusiastic
reception the Atlas receive at Alameda.
Perhaps if the San Franciscosclubs played
as quietly as the Atlas, retaining from
showing ill-temper as much as possible,
and not claiming boisterously what did not
belong to them, they would find their
reception here more enthusiastic. Sacra-
mentans admire good playing in a ball
game, no matter by whom it is done, but
dislike chronic kiclers" If all the San
Francisco players conducted themselves
like Frank Carroll, of the Pioneers, for
instance, the games would be much
pleasanter for all concerned.
