SOMETHING LIKE IT.
THE SACRAMENTO NINE SETTLES DOWN
AND PLAYS WHINING BALL.
The New Management Puts New Life
Into the Players-The Game
at the Bay.

The Sacramentos played ball yesterday as
though each individual member of the nine
was working to avoid being released. The
way they batted and fielded indicated that
new life had been instilled into them since
the new manager took charge, and the re-
suit of this pull together" was that the
San Francisco club was never in the race
during the whole game. The home nine
started right in to play ball, and they won
from the Bay nine by margin of six runs,
the score being 10 to 4. There was de-
cided increase in the attendance, which
goes to show that the Sacramento public
will support their nine if they only make
pretensions of playing ball.
cts pretty late in the season, but we've
just started in,n says Veach, "and will
try to lessen the distance between
third and fourth place al least" When
stranger comes to town and sees the Sacra-
mentos win a game, he wonders how they
are beaten so often with such lot of good
players. The reason they have lost was
undoubtedly because they didn't care, one
way or the other, but when they came to
find out the public were not going to pay to
see game of "one-old- cat" they began to
seen where the mistake came in. Manager
Gleason has evidently stirred them up, and
their work yesterday indicates that they
will play ball hereafter.
San Francisco was outplayed at every
point. The Sacramentos played strong
steady game both at the bat and in the
field. Up to the sixth inning the score was
not "maryed" vita single error. The
mo f1o,.
cusable, and Undoubtedly expecting an
easy victory they did't try hard enough in
the start. Before the fourth inning COM
menced, Sacramento had a lead of five
runs, and at the finish of the game they
increased it to six.
Clay Chapman umpired his last game
this season. His decisions were invariably
correct, and with the exception of the
'jabbering'' of few cranks in the grand
stand, his rulings were not disputed. 1t is
evident that there are few people who at.
tend ball games in this city who think
their optics are so good that they can judge
OF play from where they are sitting better
than the umpire who is right where the
play is made. In Saturdays game here,
the umpire had one of these individuals
spotted out and came within an ace of Or
derlng him out of the grounds. The um-
plre has such power. Clay says he prom
ised President None to umpire only for
month, and besides, it interferes with his
business. It is not known who will be
selected as successor. Probably Mike"
Fisher would like the position.
Yesterdays game was not hard one to
score as the good plays that were made
were clean. Scorer Young arrived at the
grounds later than he usually does. He
was about block away from the Park

A Hard Worker

The Queen of England is one of the
hardest worked officials in the realm.
Apart from her private correspondence,
there is hardly Government Office that
does not daily send her boxesof documents,
warrants, etc, requiring her signature and
attention. There is not a question of pre-
cedent, etiquette or change of uniform in
the army or detail of military and civil
orders and decorations that does not come
under her immediate supervision. The
Court Circular is carefully edited, revised
and corrected by her own hand, and the
punctuality with which she returns docu
ments submitted for her signature is said tc
be marvellous.

Some Good Scores Made at the Fina
Shoot Yesterday.
The Pacific Sportsmen's Club held its
last shoot of the season at Gerber's ranch
yesterday. The birds proved to be the
strongest" lot used this year. They put
the marksmen on their mettle to bring
them to grass.
The club has selected team of five to
take part in the great shoot at San Jose on
the 9th of October, and the members of the
club feel confident that their team will
bring home some OF the prizes and honors.
The gold medal of yesterdays shoot was
won by George Wittenbrock, who scored
eleven out of twelve points. Collins won
the second class medal with ten kills" to
his credit. Following is the score (those
marked with an asterisk fred at twenty
eight yards; the others at thirty yards):

ADJUSTMENTS,

Thomas Craven's meloirama "The Stow
away will be presented for the first time
in this city at the Metropolitan Theater to-
night. The play has held the boards in
England for FIVE years, and is still drawing
good houses there. 1t has been presented
in New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadel-
phia and other Eastern cities, and lately
made great hit at the California Theater,
in San Francisco. The play is described as
mingling pathos with humor in the most
delicate fashion, while it has many absorb
ing climaxes which are finely worked up.
The safe-cracking, done by two ex-convicts,
is most interesting part of the play, but
the yacht scene is far ahead OF it in beauty,
action and scenery. 1t is promised that
the same scenery will be used here as at
the California Theater, where the play had
a phenomenal run.

when he heard the sound of the large gong
in the reporters stand. He concluded that
his 'clock" must be decidedly of, for by it
he had full half an hour to go on. He
wouldn't trust to his timepiece, however,
and pulling his score-book from his pocket
he lit out on the dead run for the grounds,
and almost paralyzed the gate.keeper as he
darted through the opening He found to
his dismay, however, that the bell had only
been rung to call the San Franciscos in
from practice, and he spent the rest of the
time previous to the beginning of the game
in giving the joke away, while at the same
time annihilating bag ofpeanuts.
Burke did great work in the box and
kept the five hits the San Franciscos did
get well scattered. Barry didn't do bad at
all, but he received very frank" support
from his best felders. Whitehead and
Shea (the former especially had plenty of
work, but each erred twice. Whitehead
had twelve chances, however, and one of his
errors was excusable. In the latter case he
was blinded by the runner.
SWEET caught an excellent game, but he
was away of in throwing. The Sacramentos
piled up twelve stolen bases, which does
not look well against catcher's record
They all have off days, however, and Pop"
froze onto some fouls in old style.
Goodenough played the center garden to
the Queens taste. He fielded the ball
promptly, bad five put-outs, and drove out
home-run in the fourth inning. Burke
made a harder hit than that of Good
enough, but could only make two bases
on it.
Roberts did the heavy batting for his
side. OF his three hits, two were doubles.
His fielding was as it always is, and one of
his fly catches was most difficult one,
close up to the left-field fence.
McSorley and 0'Dsy were ready for any
thing that came their way, but Newbert
was the least bit too sure. He made a
couple of low throws to first. One of them
was particularly bad, but "BilI'' Veach
cleverly scrsped it off the ground. The
lstter's catch of a high foul in the third
inning was loudly applauded, and it was
deserved.
Gagus has clean score of goose eggs.
Lohman caught Burke without any diff
Guilty, and the fact that not San Francisco
man stole a base, proves that the Bay
sprinters have some regard for Sacramento's s
new catcher, as far as his throwing ability
is concerned.
The San Franchises did some excellent
work in the seventh inning. The Sacra-
mentos had the bases full and no outs, but
they succeeded in scoring only one run.
Two men were touched out at the plate.
