UMPIRE YOUNG.
An Autocrat of the Diamond Beats Sac
ramento Ont of a Came


ramento Out of Game.
1t was stated in the RECORD UNIONS re-
port of the game between the San Francisco
and Sacramento clubs on Sunday that the
former were materially aided in their VIC
tory by Umpire Young. Even the Bay
papers go SO far as to say that the Sacra-
mento team owed its defeat directly to him,
as will be seen by the following extracts:
The Alta says: The umpiring of Young
did not meet with the approval of many
of the SPECTATORS"
The Chronicle does not deal with the par
tial umpire so gingerly, but says:
The contesting clubs were the unfortu-
nate and demoralized Sacramentos and the
successful San Franchises, the latter win
ming by score of II to 10, being greatly
aided il their victory by Umpire Young,
who virtually acted in the capacity of tenth
man Tor them. As on the previous day,
many of Youngs decisions were simply
vile, and he lost no opportunity of showing
his preference for the home team at the ex-
pense of the visitors. In return he was
treated to whole broadsides of groans and
hisses."
The Examiner is equally outspoken, and
has the following:
Sacramento did not get square deal
yesterday. They were beaten out of one
run and San Francisco was presented with
one by the autocrat of the ball field.
These two runs would have tied the
score. and there is no telling what would
have happened then.
They were beaten out of one run when
Burke was declared out at third when he
was safe, and San Francisco was presented
with q RIM wbp, Dnppbr1a aftar ho bod
been struck out on three as nice balls as
ever passed over a home plate, was given
first and afterwards scored. The 5000 peo-
pie who sat through the game Kissed these
decisions loud and long, but Young is ac-
customed to Kisses"
GOSSIP ABOUT SACRAMENTO PLAYERS.
The Call has the following general notes:
Oakland and Sacramento are struggling
hard for the target.
Fault was recently found with Newbert's
batting. 4 home run and a three-bagger
in one game must have opened the eyes of
the grumblers.
When Manager ellis team plays away
from home large crowd of cranks gather
about the bulletin boards in Sacramento,
watching for the announcement of the
score.
The Oakland managers statement that
some of the players of the Sacramento nine
played dirty ball has created ill-feeling in
the Capital City against the nine across the
bay.
Manager ellis says he is satisfied with
his team, except he desires to obtain an
other pitcher. The order in which the
players in the nine bat might be improved
upon.
1t is said some of the Sacramento players
need closer watching after nightfall.
Messrs. ellis and George have not time to
look after their men, and a few of them
take advantage of the fact. Saloons make
poor training quarters.
Two decisions made yesterday showed
that San Francisco audiences will not over
look an umpire's errors, even if they be
made in favoror of the home nine. The
spectators here are fair, though majority
want to see the Friscos win.
The reason Sacramento did not engage
Henry Smith was on account of his being
so unpopular in that town.
SPAWN Legs " is the title bestowed OF
the San Francisco boys by the Sacramento
craDks, on account of the members of the
home nine having been SO long on the dia-
mond. There's whole lot of speed in
those alleged diseased shanks yet how
ever, which fact has already been demon
strated this season.
The following are from the Examiner of
yesterday:
Sacramento is on the lookout for another
pitcher.
Umpire Young seems to be umpiring
for his release.
Krehmeyer of Sacramento is now doing
the best work at the initial of any first
baseman of the league.
The Sacramento Club has new and ele-
CANT bat bags. What they want now is
few victories.
Newberts hit over the left field fence was
the longest shot ever made on the Sacra-
mento grounds. Home talent will tell.
Sacramento just now is playing in the
hardest kind OF hard luck. But luck can
not run one way always, boys. Your turn
will soon come. Besides, you have COM
pany in the Colonel's team.
The Sacramento team is negotiating with
Second Baseman Taylor Shaffer and wants
him much.-.Sporting Life.
You are mistaken. Sacramento has a
second baseman. Harry O'Day is his
name and he can give Taylor Shaffer points
on playing the center bag.
