TlIL-EEDERS.
BUT THE sACRAMENTos ARE WORKING
TOWARD THE FRONT.
They Defeat the San Franciscos to the
Tune of 10 to 11-yeach's
Lost Fly-Ban.

True, the Sacramentos are the tail-enders
in the California Lesgue race, with slim
prospects of their bettering their condition,
but the people here have evidently not
given up hopes, if the attendance at the
game yesterday is any proof of the interest
manifested. 1t was one of the largest, if
not the largest Saturday attendance that
has yet sat through a game at Snowflake
Park, and goes to show that some people
enjoy baseball under all circumstances.
The game was one of the "razz' dazzle
order, and the nineteen errors speak for
themselves. The Sacramentos appeared in
new "Jonah" proof uniforms, though be-
fore the game one of their admirers, on
catching glimpse of the brilliant display
of colors in the suits, gave up all hopes of
ever seeing the favorites win again. How
ever, the suits are now considered to have
played an important part in the game. In
deed, it would be impossible for that pair
of pantaloons on Mclaughlin to get out of
the way of the ball if it came anywhere
within a radius of about twenty feet.
They fitted him like barley sack, and
gentle zephyr spread out the superfiuous
broadcloth like the spanker-sail of small
sized ocean steamer. The ball would have
to hit the pants even if it missed the ex-
tended paw of the player.
The Sacramentos needed new suits, and
they made their debut in flaming colors
yesterday. The body of the uniform was
navy blue and the trimmings bright red.
The cap and stockings were also red, and
the cut of them was OF the regular English

The game was made up of nine innings
of very bad ball playing, but still the Sac.
ramentos had the best of the game, and
the audience stayed the contest through
for fear the home nine might lose in the
last inning las they did not long snce).
II. Clay Chapman made his debut as
umpire, and his appearance on the grounds
brought forth round of applause from the
audience. His decisions throughout the
game appeared to be in accordance with
the views of the spectators.
The majority of the runs made by either
of the clubs were scored before the first
half of the game was over, but the home
nine proved to be more expert in the
swinging of the stick, and this, together
with some very glaring and unexpected
errors on the part of the visitors, was what
made the game Sacramento walk over"
The San Franciscos, despite their
wretched fielding work, tried hard to win,
and Shea and Perrier even had the audacity
to walk over to the Sacramentos' bench
and coax that old one-eyed canine over to
their seat, in an endesvor to turn the luck
to their side. The audience witnessed the
daring piece of robbery, and one or two
were inclined to run for the dog and re-
store him to his proper quarters. Shea got
his dog, however, but it could be seen that
the poor brute was not being transferred of
his own accord, and even though he was
among the San Francisco nine in flesh, his
heart had Topped to the home agggrega-
ton, and he gave his captors 10 relief,
causing them to lose by the wide score of
IL to 10.
McSorley surprised the audience by
making q disastrous wild throw to first

right the ball comes low, and there are still
