POOR BALTz.
THE YOUTHFUL "PHENOM" MEETS
WITH A SETBACK,
Oakland Enjoys a Picnic at Snow.
flake Park-Sacramento
as the Pie.

Oakland gave Sacramento severe drub.
bling yesterday afternoon at Snowflake
Park, and took the game by score of 13
to IL, with an inning TO spare. 1t is esti-
mated that fully 1900 people were present,
and the contest proved most interesting
toward the close.
The Oaklands started in at hot pace.
and Baltz, the Sacramento pitcher, proved
to be ''pie" for them. They slugged the
ball numerically, and before the first
inning was over the Robinson aggregation
had scored five times. The crowd began to
call for Burke, but to no avail
ONeil got first on balls, and came home
on Smalley's four-bagger into left field.
Hardie drove out two-bagger, but was
caught trying to steal third. Both Dooley
and DAILY got the initial on balls, and both
scored on n home-run drive by Long.
Cahill and Incell went out on flies to Nc.
Sorley and Roberts.
The visitors scored three more runs in
about the same fashion in the second inn
ing, and the spectators became disguised
with Baltzs pitching, and cries of "Burke!"
were heard from all quarters. The change
the big twirler stepped into the box and
allowed but two runs during the rest of the
game.
BY terrific punching of hits in the fifth
inning, the home club batted in nine runs.
Everyone in the nine made hits, excepting
Sylvester and Roberts, and it was a sight to
see how the ball was kept rolling. The
home club filed the bases at the start, and
kept sending the bali into the field so often
that it was thought the game would never
end. The crowd grew wild with excite
ment, and nothing could be heard but con-
tinuous cheering.
Umpire Sheridan ordered the game
stopped several times until the noise sub
sided, but Just as soon as the ball would be
brought into play again, the audi
ence would again burst cut. At
the end OF this inning both batteries under
went a change. Burke went in to pitch
Tor Sacramento, and Aldrich the new
south paw Oakland twirler, was substi-
tuted IN place Of Incell. DAILY took Har-
dies place behind the bat and the latter
went to left field. Baltz took Sylvester's
place in right field. The latter, in catching
tiy-ball, had spiked himself in the ankle,
cutting the flesh to the bone, and making a
very ugly wound. In consequence be was
lard up during the remainder of the game
The Sacramentos were unable to do any
thing with Aldrich's pitching, and little
work in the batting line was exhibited.
hrehmeyer did not catch as well as he
usually does, but there cannot be much
blame attached to him. In the first inning
be was kept up behind the bat full twenty
minutes, and most of this time he was
busily engaged in stopping wild pitches.
McSorley kept up his record as the surest
hitter in the nine. Three hits appear in
the score 10 his credit As usual, he
caught several fouls off the third corner,
and played the game without an error.
AT one stage OF the game, when O'Day
had hit safe and was on first base the Sac
ramentos had not coacher out. Even the
crowd noticed this, and upon their call
men were up on the line. When the spec
tators are compelled to do this, it certainly
strikes person that Sacramento too easily
gets disheartened and plays too listless
game.
Roxburg. on account of an injured finger,
Cid not play in the game. He will prob
ably be around next Saturday, however.
Umpire Sheridan received an ovation as
he entered the field, and the Sacramento
people are evidently satisfied with his
judgments. He is as square referee as
the League conld have engaged. Follow
ing is the score:
