STOCKTON TRoUHCED.
THE HOME TEAM DEMONSTRATES THAT
IT CAN STILL PLAY BALL.
San Francisco is Badly Beaten at
the Bay by the Oakland
Aggregation.

Sacramento defeated Stockton yesterday
in plain, ordinary, everyday game of
baseball, by score of to 2. The game
was not at all interesting or exciting as to
the result, but the magnificent fielding and
fine all.round work of both teams was
even more worth witnessing than if there
had been struggle all through. When
Sheridan, the umpire, stepped on the
grounds, the spectators knew that at least
1t would be a fair and square contest, and
that no partiality would be shown one way
or the other. There was good Saturday
attendance and unusual activity seemed to
have possession of the players.
Thompson made his debut with The
Sacramentos, and Though he did not
have to catch hard game or do any throw
ing, yet he proved quite backstop. having
no passed balls and never failing to catch
third strike. He did have one chance to
throw down to second, but Fudger, the
bsse-runner, had been given big lead
and got his base, though not any too soon,
as the ball came sailing straight to the GEN.
ter cushion from behind the bat. The
new catcher neatly drove out a two
cushion sounder in the fourth inning.
The whole game was marked by the
brilliant playing of the out fielders, Good
enough especially distinguishing himself.
Any and everything was taken in by the
boss center-felder," and some of his
catches were no easy ones to reach. He
also lead in batting, making four safe hits
out of five times to the bat But there's no
use talking; If he was not such a speedy
runner, he would never get as many hits
as he does. When he first came to the bat
he hit an easy one right in front of the
plate, and it didn't take '.jiffy'' for him to
reach first. His base running also was fine,
as usual, and the way he slid to base was
enough to make fielder rattle.

NExnERr STOPS A HOT ONE.

However, he made one wretched error in
throwing high ball over McSorley's head
and the misplay let in q run.
Roberts gagged his two flies with all
ease, and neither he, Newbert nor Gagus
could find the ball safely.
Fudger, for the visitors, gathered in five
fys in left field, but the whole number
came plump into his hands.
Ebright was all activity, and besides
playing his position well, he kept his men
on the jump all the time. He is in much
better Trim than when he last appeared
here.
Whitehead played his usual collected
game at short, but had to juggle one
grounder. He made some very pretty
stops, however, and threw as true as a
die" In the sixth inning Goodenough
knocked hot grounder off to the right of
Whitehead, but the agile shortstop made a
run and dive for the ball and caught it
off the ground with one hand. 1t was q
magnificent stop, but when he could re-
cover himself he saw that Goodenough was
the runner, and knew that throwing the
ball to first in an endeavor to head him off
was foolish.
The game was in all respects a fine one,
and following is the score:

WASTED ELoQUENCE.
The Sympathy Business Would Not Work
in Roderick Dhu Gamers Case

The Sympathy Business Would Not Work
in Roderick Dhu Cooper's Case.
When the case of Roderick Dhu Cooper,
charged with disturbing the peace, was
called in the Police Court yesterday attor-
ney E. G. Hart took the floor and said the
young mans only enemy was drink, and
that, although TO the manor born, he was
helpless mental to the imp of intemper-
ance, whose relatives wept broken-heart-
eddy and prayed the Almighty to save him.
Tears glistened in the eyes of many of the
spectators, touched by the attorneys elo-
quence and fervor. Mr. Hart concluded
by asking mercy at the hands of the Court,
the City Attorney and the prosecuting
policeman, and asking that they consent
to dismissal of the case.
Mr.. Church was hard hearted enough to
refer TO the fact that the young man had
become nuisance by reason of his intem-
perance and his abusiveness when intoxi-
Gated; that he had already been the recipi-
ent of too much leniency from the Court;
that the police officers had become tired of
arresting him, and that it was about time
something was done to let him know what
Courts are established for. Mr.. Church
said he was sorry for the youths relatives
but he did not believe that any more could
be accomplished by dismissing the case
than by sending Cooper to Jail.
Nothing daunted, Mr.. Hart tried again
But this time he directed his eloquence to
policeman Chambers, who had arrested
Roderick, and who stubbornly refused to
consent to dismissal. why doyou perse-
cute this poor unfortunate?" was Mr.. Harris
final entreaty to the officer.
Well, I'll tell you, if you want to
know" replied Chambers. ITS because
his father came to me and insisted that l
prosecute and send the young fellow to
jail"
This took the breath away from Mr.
Hart momentarily but he soon recovered
and in stentorian tones said the father had
nothing to do with the case"
Nobody seemed inclined to grant the re-
quest for Cooper's dismissal, so Mr.. Hart
got mad and demanded jury trial.
The case will be heard next Wednesday.

A Screw Loose Somewhere.

Something should be done with young

was again arrested yesterday for battery,
and it looks as if the unfortunate youth
had lost all control over his actions. He is
no sooner cut of one difficulty than he gets

penitent enough over his misdeeds, but as
soon as he goes TO roaming about the city
he gets into trouble. If allowed to go at
large he is almost certain to do somebody
serious harm, or else come to grief him
self. He acts like an irresponsible being,
and is source of constant anxiety to his
worthy parents, who have done all in their
power to keep him in the path OF rectitude
1t is but charitable 10 the young man to
assume that he is hardly responsible for
his actions

A GoopENoraH STEAL


In the fifth inning he gave rare exhibit
ton OF good base running. The Sacrament
tos were to the bat and Thompson and
Goodenough were on bases, the former at
third and the latter at the initial. Veach
struck grounder to Sweeney, who threw
Veach out at first, and then Goodenough
was caught on the line between first and
second. He worked between them until
Thompson saw his opportunity and scored.
Meantime Sweeney, Selma and Whitehead
were trying to corral Goodenough. Each
knew it would be no use to run down the
wiry center fielder, and they kept him run
ming back and forward in an upcomforta-
bly, small space. However, with a Jump
and a dash he passed Whitehead before
Selma could return the bali, and the play
was hailed with terrific burst of applause.
The inability of the visitors to place
their hits, lost them the game. Harper
pitched good game, but Zeigler did better,
and with the fine support rendered him by
his fielders he kept the Stocktons down to
four hits, among the number being fine
home-run drive by Ebright, and three
Dagger by Huey Smith. Just before the
game started "shouter" of the Sacrament
tos thought he saw that old one-eyed
canine that lost the home club the game
here last Sunday, and he made rush for
the dog. However, an examination re-
vealed the fact that the dogs seeing ap-
paratus" was all intact, and that his tail
wasn't bitten off, and the game proceeded
without further protest
Newbert played good game at second
base, and the manner in which he would
pick up swift grounders near the center
bag was worth seeing.
