To-day's and To morrow's League Games
Other Gossip.
The ball game in this city tomorrow
afternoon will be between the Oaklands
and Sacramentos again. The Oaklands
have defeated the Capital City club five
times-more than half the number of
games the former have won altogether. 1t
seems, therefore, that the Sacramento nine
might use extra exertions, especially when
playing against this club. They have won
but one game from Oakland, and if they
are to be judged by the playing they did in
last Thursdays contest, it is safe to say
they will never win another. However, it
is to be hoped that nothing worse than q
bit of ill-luck overlook them on that occa-
sion, and that they will pull together again
Up to last Thursday the Sacramento club
was playing better ball than any other in
the League-batting as well and making less
fielding errors-but they lowered their
standing considerably by their miserable
playing at the Bav.
For to-morrow's game it has not vet
