during the game.
The Sacramento club went to the bal
| first and started in with vim. After two
men were out McSorley raped out one Of
his customary singles, and came home on
Peek-a-Boo" Neachs home-run. The
ball was driven out to the back fence, and
the runner had scored before the ball got
back to the diamond. Goodenough retired
the side by being thrown out al first on
Whitehead's assist.
Stockton made nothing in the first in
ming, but tied the score in the second. How
ard getting first on balls and scoring on
Selna's three-bagger. The latter crossed
the plate on Chase's drive to right field.
The home club were determined on
keeping the lead, however, and in the third
inning they scored six runs on hits by
krehmeyer, McSorley, Veach, ODay,
Burke and Jevne. Two more runs were
added in the fifth inning. four in the sixth
and one in the seventh.
The Stockton club succeeded in scoring
four more runs, when they gave up, per-
hitting the Capitol City nine to win by a
score OF 10 to 6. The game was called at
the end of the seventh inning, at the re-
quest OF the Banner Island" nine, as they
knew they could not pull up, and wanted
to- catch the earliest train for home.
Chase, an amateur, who pitched the
game for the visitors, was the cause of their
defeat. The opposing nine hammered him
for fifteen bases, Newbert and Veach knock
ing out home runs, krebmyer a three bag

two-baggers, and ten other singles by the
rest of the nine.
Five errors were made on each side.
some OF them quite costly. Burke did
good work In the box, striking out eight
men, and he was ably supported by Kreh-
meyer. The latter after few more games
will prove himself invaluable as a back
stop and thrower. He did some neat
throwing in the game and met the ball
with the ash in an effective manner.
Both he and Burke were 'bouqueted.
In the fourth inning Moore was at the
bat and Sweeny on second base. The bat
ter made two very awkward attempts to
hit the ball and Sweeny, as captain of the
nine, yelled 10 him TO play ball. Moore's
temper rose at the expression, and when
the next ball was pitched he swung the bat
across the plate, making, to all appear
ances, no attempt to make hit For his
conduct he was retired during the rest OF
the game aad Harper took his place in the
field.
Sweeny was substituted in the box in the
seventh inning for the Stocktons, but it did
not seem to be much of an improvement.
Howard, in running to third base in the
| fourth inning, either spiked or stepped upon
McSorley, and in consequence the latter
was pretty badly hurt in the leg, although
| he continued to play his position.
The Stockton pitcher made "balk," the
first that has been made here this season.
Sheridan umpired the game and satisfied
| everybody.
