SACRAMENTOS FIND A MOSES.
THE MAN WHO MAY POSSIBLY PILOT
THEM OUT SAFELY.
ZeisIer, the New Pitcher, Proves a Puz-
zle to the Stockton Team-Tied
for Last Place.

The Sacramentos took a game from
Stockton yesterday, and saved themselves
from becoming the tail-enders alone. The
day was quite warm, but the audience was
as large as usual, and it was quite no.
ticeable that large delegation of Stockton
people were present, and there were never
before on the grounds set of people more
confident that they would win than the
Stocktonians. They were gloomy crowd,
however, as they made their way to the
train for home.
Zeigler, the Sacramento's new pitcher,
won the audience at the start, and he
pitched one of the prettiest games ever seen
on diamond. Not Stockton man reach
ed second base up to the ninth inning,
and only two scratch" hits were made up
to that time. In the ninth inning, how
ever, after Sylvester had muffed a "pie"
fly, the visitors did succeed in hitting safely
three times, scoring that number of runs.
The side was retired by Stickney's failing
to make his bat connect with the ball, and
the game ended by score of IL to in favor
ofSacramento. Zeigler will no doubt prove
a valuable addition to the club. and he
demonstrated his ability in remarkable
manner yesterday.
Umpire Van Court said he never saw
such sharp curves as the new man pitched,
and his control of the ball is as perfect as
can be. He could send the bali over the
plate at almost any time he wished, and
but two men were given their bases on
called balls. His batting in the game was
very weak, however
Krehmeyer gave Zeigler almost perfect
support, and threw out the only man that
attempted to steal a base. But he had
caught Ieigler many times before, they hav-
ing been the battery in one of the Tri-
State League clubs. 1t was Krehmever
who recommended him to the Sacramento
managers.
Harper, the Stockton twirler, started in
to pitch fine game, but became wild and
his delivery was raped out quite fire.

McSorley, ODay and Newbert all did
effective work, both in batting and fielding.
The stopping of a hot grounder by the for

TO the bat, excepting once. Then, when he
did hit the bali, it was terrific drive, and

He proved his ability as fielder by accept
