How the audience did cheer Yesterday
when Mclaughlin, Immediately after he
had been brought in to substitute Caya-
naugh as catcher, lined the ball straight
down to O'Day, at second base, and caught
a runner.
The talk of baseball circles last evening
was Roberts magnificent catch in the game
yesterday.
Sacramento still needs catcher, and
that right quick, too, if she wants 20 make
a showing in the League race.
Barry was almost batted out of the box
yesterday. Romeo takes "streaks'' in his
pitching.
Burke and Veach, the two big men of
the Sacramento nine, are great fayorites.
They are cheered every time they step to
the bat.
Burke pitched good game yesterday de-
spite the poor support that was given him
by his catcher.
Sylvester will 10 longer continue to
otticlate as Umpire. He has sent in his

that he couldn't stand the continual abuse
he has been subjected to.

glove on his left hand resembling a
waste-basket. The ball was too high, and
the big first baseman missed it by about
ten feet.
Cavanaugh proved to be very poor ac-
QUESTION as a catcher, and no good at all as
batter. He is big enough to hold pitcher
like Burke, but the large men don't always
make the best catchers, and the new man
was unfortunately one of this kind. 1t
could be seen that he is very uncertain, and
his throwing-well, Mclaughlin is Tom
Brown" by the side of Cavanaugh. The
latter, too, actually couldn't throw the ball
up to second base, and men even stole from
second to third on him. In the sixth inn
ing he was placed on the bench, and Nc
Laughlin caught during the rest of the
game, Zeigler taking his place at short
stop.
Roberts remarkable catch was the feature
of the game. 1t was the most wonderful
thing of the kind ever seen here, and the
audience seemed inclined to keep up their
cheering all the rest of the day. No one
thought for a moment that Roberts would
get the ball, as it was far off to his right
and sailing fast, and the batter must have
actually been congrstulating himself on
making a three-bagger. Away went the
ball into the air, and at the same moment
Roberts was after it. After a long run and
an almost superhuman effort he reached
out one hand and the ball stuck right there.
No greater catch was ever seen here.
Powers, of the visitors, seemed to be out
of his usual trim and he made three very
rank errors. His fine jump and catch of a
high thrown ball could not fail to be no.

Thompson got over eranxious in the sew

he tried the "cutn system on second base,
