A JUG-HANDLE CANE.
SACRAMENTO DOES UP THE oAKLANDs
WITH GRRAT EASE.
Burke Pitches Perfect Ball, and the
Home Team Scores Fifteen Runs to
the Oaklands' Three.

The 0aklands couldn't find Burke, to
speak of, in yesterdays game, and the Sac
ramentos won in an easy manner by a
score of Is to 3. Burke pitched for all
there was in him, and clearly proved his
ability to play ball when he chose to do So
Dooley was the only man in the Oakland
nine that could hit the ball safely, and it
was mainly by his two hits that Oakland
succeeded in getting the three runs they
did score.
Coughlin was slightly "off, and part
of the time seemed to play an Indifferent
game, on account of bad judgment, as he
claimed, on the part of the umpire on the
subject of balls and strikes. Hardie, too,
caught poorly, and was uncertain in
throwing to bases. His three passed balls
were costly, indeed, and his one error flor
letting ball thrown from the field go by
him) also materially added to the score of
the Sacramentos. Mclaughlin, on the
contrary, did not miss chance.
He stopped everything that came
within his reach, and threw to
bases with more accuracy than usual.
He made magnificent catch while run
ming back for a high foul ball, and the
cheers of the audience were almost deaf
ening.
Krehmeyer, on first, was unlucky, and
though he seldom makes an error in that
position, two managed to crawl into the
score against him yesterday. One was
wide thrown ball from Gagus, for which
the short-stop might in justice, have got
an error, as well as Krehmeyer. The other
error was a fumbled ground ball. How
ever, he made several good pick-ups and
assisted in the batting line.
McSorley, Gagus and O'Day guarded
their respective positions in the infield
without an error. and the former and latter
also did some of the hard-hittipg at the
bat. McSorley and Burke fell upon the
ball with vengeance, and each secured a
home-run. Burke lost the ball in left field
by his hit, and had been sitting on the
players bench quite a while before Cahill
fielded the ball.
Roberts also did good work in the left
garden, and in the batting line he has i'm
proved wonderfully. One of his hits yes
terdav was fine three. base drive, and with
little more exertion he might have Sc
cured home-run on it. One fly unluckily
for the batter came his way, and it was

in right center, but nevertheless took charge
of three others Veach danced the high
land fling in right field and didn't get
cnance for an assist or put-out.
In the second inning, Coughlin grumbed
considerably about a decision and after
being ordered by the umpire to play ball,
he hesitated again and the umpire sent
Burke, the batter, to first base, on the
ground that the pitcher had made balk.
Immediately after this Coughlin resumed
his work
Dooley did almost all the effective work
for the Oaklands. None of them could
place the ball save the big first baseman, and
it was mainly through his two hits that
Oakland escaped being shut out Thirteen
put-outs are on the score to his credit, and
not an error mars his record. His line
drive to the back fence, on which hit he
made the circuit of the bases, bringing in
Long, accounts for two OF the Oaklands'
runs, and his drive in the fifth inning vir-
tually secured the other run for his team.
Mcdonald, barring one wild throw, did
good work at second, but, like all the rest
OF the nine, with the exception of Dooley,
he could net make a hit. 0'Neill played
good ball at third, and hut for miss of
fly ball, Wilson would have put up a per-
feet game at short.
Cahill had decidedly off day, and
missed two drives. One he did not Judge
very well, and the other was "bee-liner,"
which popped out of his hands as if it had

j. McCue, who umpired the game here
last week, officiated yesterday, and proved
good referee. Following is the score:
