GOOD BALTz.
AN AMATEUR HELPS SACRAMENTO
TO VICTORY.
The Capital Citys Take Two Games
From Stockton, and Now
Stand Second.

Sacramento d0wned the Banner Island
nine yesterday at Snowflake Park by q
score of II to 8. After seven innings, and
half the eighth, were played the game was
called, as had been agreed upon, so as to
permit the clubs to embark on the 11:2O
train for Stockton. For the Sacramentos
Veach pitched the first two innings, and
how the visitors did jump on him Base
hits were driven in all directions, and in
side of two innings Stockton had scored
| eight runs.
Baltz, an amateur of this city, who was
playing on the bench as extra, took Veach's
| place in the box in the third inning, and
the latter played in left field, Roberts Civ
ing way. The young pitcher made most
excellent impression as twirler, and was
quite an acquisition as batter. He had
evidently good many admirers in the
grand stand, who kept up constant cheer
ing at his good work. The Stocktons hit
| him safely only twice, and he had very
good control of the ball. Roxburg's CATCH
ing could not have been improved upon,
and his base stealing was feature.
The Sacramento infield played without
| an error, and O'Day and McSorley did some
fine field work. The latter pulled down a
high foul off third base after long run
| Newbert hit safely three times, one of the
hits being a two-bagger.
| Veach was given most cordial welcome
| by the spectators every time he came to
the bat, and he responded by driving out
single and afterward two Dagger On
| account of his having sore leg, Krehmeyer
| ran the bases for him.
| GoodenOugh did not show up in batting
as well as usual, waiting twice. He made
a very good running catch in the field,
| however.
inning by muffing ball which came to him
on the bounce. When he did get it he made
poor throw in returning it to the dia-
mond and was given another error. 1t
was evidently the intention of Sylvester to
| throw to Veach, but the latter ran from
his position IN the box over towards third
base to back up McSorley, and the ball
rolled out of the diamond under the play
ers' bench. Behan scored on the error.
The most of the batting by the Stocktons
was in the first and second innings, when
they piled up eight runs. Bases on balls,
together with timely hitting, swelled their
score in these two innings, and they got
such lead that at one time it looked du-
bious for Sacramento.
| Harper was somewhat wild and Fair
hurst did not catch his usual good game,
having three passed balls to m ar his record.
The Stockton infeld played fairly well,
but Whiteheads good work on third and
at the bat deserves special commentator.
He once drove the ball over the right-field
fence. brought in two men and himself
scored a home run.
Center-feld is evidently not the position
for Behan, as in the last two games he
played here he was decidedly off in iudg-
ing fly balls. On yesterday Baltz hit
high one out to him. and on account of the
fielder's inability to judge it the latter
made third base on the hit.
Half of the eighth inning was played
with the Sacramentos at the bat, but the
two runs scored did not count as it was an
unfinished inning. The game was called
| at 11:20 A. NJ, and large number of those
present boarded the Stock ton train at the
Park and went over to that city to witness
the game there in the afternoon.
Sheridan umpired the game and neither
of the clubs found fault. In fact, he seems
to be most successful referee, and little
kicking" has been done on account OF
his decisions so far this season. Following
