lands and SacramentoS at Snowflake Park
yesterday got every cent of their moneys
worth.
1t was great exhibition OF the national
game from start to finish.
Sacramento lost the day, but it was no
| dishonor, for better effort could not have
been made. Zeigler was in the box and
pitched winning ball for the tail-enders,
and it was no fault of his that Oakland
won. Whose fault was it? Well, princi-
pally Hughes. The ex-amateur had
boullion in his eyes, apparently, and could
neither bat nor stop ball. His errors
were costly. At the conclusion of the
seventh inning Manager Gleason retired
him to the bench and sent Roxburg to
third, Knell going into right field.
And Carroll Why, he was whole
ball team in himself. His backstop work
was superb, and the manner in which he
coached the other players of the Sacramento
team caused much anxiety on the part of
the Oaklanders.
The other members of the team, particu-
larly Newbert, played what under any
ordinary circumstances, would have been
winning ball-all except Hughes and
Roberts. The latter was way off in his
batting, striking out three times.
The Oakland aggregation was at its best,
and batted and fielded as though possessed.
Coughlin did the twirling, and never did
better. Only six hits were made off his
delivery and he kept those fairly scattered
In the ninth inning when the home team
got couple of men on bases and hit
would have tied the score-when a verita-
Bile pandemonium prevailed-he never lost
his head nor his heart, and saved the game
and possibly the pennant for his team.
peek a. boo" Veach, the ex-Sacramento
first baseman, covered the initial bag for
Oakland in the absence of Dooley and was
well-received by the audience. He played
good game throughout.
At the conclusion of the ninth inning the
score stood for Oakland and for Sacra-
mento. The runs were made in this wise
Sacramento was first to the bat. Good
enough raped out single, stole second
and scored on Carrolrs great three-bagger.
Carroll tried to reach home on the hit but
was put out at the plate. The others went
out easily. In the same inning Oakland
scored two runs ON McDonald's single,
Smalley's three Dagger and O'Neill's single.
In the second inning Zelgler opened
with long hit to center, which upset
Long, and Zeigler reached third on q
scratch hit by Gagus. Zeiger scored.
Veach reached first on balls for Oakland
in this inning. Mcdonald struck out on
three pitched balls. Stallings hit for a
single, advancing Veach. Coughlin's long
fly was captured by Roberts. Long raped
out good single. which Gagus fumbled,
allowing Veach to score. Stallings also
tried to score on the play, but was put out
at the plate after Long was touched out at
second.
Sacramento earned goose egg in the
third, but Oakland took q great batting
squirt and piled up three more runs before
the inning was over, being aided very ma
terially by Veach's powerful strokes.
Neither side scored in the fourth or fifth.
Sacramento was equally unfortunate in
the sixth, but not so with Oakland. Big
Daily got in his work with the stick,
bringing in Coughlin and adding another
run TO the score.
In the seventh inning matters were re-
versed. Oakland could do nothing, but
the home team set the audience bowling
by jumping on TO Coughlin's delivery in
great style. Gagus led off with a single,
| Goodenough followed with two-base hit,
advancing Gagus to third. Roberts was
given first on balls, and the bases were full.
AS the Dig Detter carroll stepped to the
plate the spectators fairly roared in their
excitement. "Smssher, Carrollln and
Liner out fer a homer!" were the yells
that greeted Carrolls ears, and he nodded
significantly to the grand stand. Coughlin
| looked serious, and used his most deceptive
| curves. But Carroll finally saw one that
| suited him, and administered to it re-
sounding smash. Itlooked like home run
but it wasn't. Danny Long was waiting
| for Just such hit in the vicinity of the car
| rage fence. and CarrolPs dropped into his
| pocket Gagus, however, scored on the
hit after it was caught. Goodenough scored
| a moment later on passed ball. Cough
| lin got his command back again. and no
more runs were made.
In the eighth the home team made an
other effort to continue the good work of
the previous inning, and did succeed in
getting one man across the plate. They
| might have got more, as they had men on
bases, but Gagus cut matters short by strik-
| ing out.
1t was now quite dark, and the Oaklands
wanted the game called, as the umpire had
previously promised. Theumpire changed
| his mind, however, and ordered the last
inning played. But it made no difference.
Sacramento could not score, and the day
was Oakland's. Following is the official
score:
