THE USUAL RESULT.
SACRAMENTO DROPS ANOTHER GAME
TO SAN FRANCISCO.
The Home Club Plays Strong Game,
but the Leaders Beat Them
by One Run.

The contest at Snowflake Park yesterday
afternoon between the Sacramenios and
San Franciscos was one of the most exciting
yet played here, and it was anybody's
game up to the ninth inning. The attend
ance was perceptibly smaller than usual,
and those who did not attend missed a
treat. One side would make a run and
then the other would do likewise, and in
this way the contest was kept pretty even
during the entire game. The Sacramentos
lost the game, as they could not make
respectable showing in the batting line
against Meegan. Then, again, McLaugh-
Inns two passed balls and Burke's wild
throws were very disastrous. On the other
hand, the visitors touched up Burke in an
effective manner-so much so that they
finished the game with ten base-hits 10
their credit.
Meegan pitched excellent ball, retiring
his opponents at critical stages of the
game. when an ordinary hit meant runs
added to the Saeramentos score. This was
particularly the case in the eighth inn
ing. Veach came to the bat, and was
out on ground ball bit TO Powers. Gasus
lined out hit, and Burke followed suit.
This made two men on bases-Gagus on
third and Burke on second. NeTbert was
the next batter, and hit meant two runs,
but he went out on a pop-tly to Donohue.
Roberts got his base on balls, and this
made three men on bases, with O'Day 10
the bat. Almost everyone was praying for
ODay to save his country" but Harry
could only send a teaser to Shea. who
quickly threw him out at first, and the
once brilliant prospect for a run or two
faded in the distance.
Shea was the most effective one of the
visitors in the batting. Three base hits out
OF five times to the bat is pretty good work,
and If he can keep this up he will soon be
among the leading batters in the League.
Thompson, at short, PLAYED poor game,
both at the bat and in the field. As a sub
stitute for Hanley, he may do as well in
fielding the position, but the loss of Han
ley's batting is seriously felt.
Powers played his position at first in
"Comisky style. He took in everything

did the back-stop work as he always does,
but for wonder he actually did miss an
easy pop fly, and Captain Powers was awe
stricken, as was SWEET himself.
Goodenough opened the game brilliantly
for the Sacramentos by driving out home
run. Three balls had been called on him,
but he chose rather to hit the sphere than
take his base on balls. He did bit it with
vengeance, and the ball was sent spinning
away out to the back fence in the left field,
the batter easily making The circuit of the
