OAKLAND ROUTED.
zEIGLER HAD THE COLONIES ALMOST
AT HIS MERCY.
Frisco Drops Another-The Clubs Pretty
Well Bunched Now in the
Pennant Race.

The Sacramentos easily defeated the Oak
lands yesterday, and thus increased their
standing few points. The crowd was
larger than the usual Saturday attendance.
and evidently the fact that the home nine
has been playing good ball of late has IN
duced many more to attend the games
The truth is that the Sacramentos have
been putting up excellent games for the
last few weeks, but it required no apparent
effort yesterday for them to defeat Oak
land. Many difficult chances had to be
gathered in, and the Sacramento boys were
almost in every instance equal to the occa-
sion. The visitors, too, made MANY good
plays, but their errors were numerous and
costly, and were pretty well divided up
among the different players.
Oakland got the frst run of the game in
the third inning, and it was only by good
hard work, coupled with few slips" BY
their opponents that they got their re-
manning points. Zeigler did excellent box.
work, pitching good steady ball. He kept
his hits well segregated and played win
ming bail all through. Oakland on the
contrary kept changing about pitchers
now putting Farrell in the box and then
again Hayes. Farrell began to pitch wild
in the middle of the game and Hayes went
In to do the twirling, but he was not even
as effective as his predecessor.
Mclaughlin was at his best and put up
probably one of the best games he has ever
played. His catching could not be i'm

son of its not being effective was that
Zeigler in many instance gave the base
runners too much of a lead. Billy also had
his eye on the ball and welded the stick
for homer" a double and a single His
catch of high foul behind the bat was a
feature of the game.
Veach played the initial in admirable
style and got onto fifteen chances with nary
a miss. He only made one hit, but that
was "corker."
O'Day, Newbert and McSorley each got
an error. O'Day was very effective with
the bat, and Knocked out two hits out Of
three times TO the bat.
Roberts played his left garden as be
always does, and is undoubtedly the best
left fielder in the State. He made magniti-
cent running catches, and his one error was
OF a hard-hit ball by Hardie. 1t was the
most difficult kind of a ball to Judge, and
Roberts only got one hand on it. 1t was
an error of the most excusable kind.
Geodenough didn't have chance, and
his score is, with the exception OF times to
the bat, line of 0s.
GAgus WAS formidable man in right.
His assist with Veach in double play in
the latter part of the game was quick
piece OF work.
Wilson, Hayes, ONeil and Hardie, for
the Oaklands, did most of the error max
ing, the quartette making eleven out of the
thirteen errors made on the visitors side.
Hayes conldn't gauge or catch flies a little,
and Wilson was away off at third. Har-
die appeared to have the sulks over not
getting a hit for the ball he knocked to
Roberts, and O. Neil had soup in his eye"
once or twice.
Dooley played another great game at first,
and Mcdonald made some pretty stors
around the center bag.
Sylvester umpired a good game. and
though the audience were disposed to and
did hiss somewhat, the umpire was right
in almost every case. He has improved
considerably since his last appearance here.
The score was as follows
