FOUR LEAGUE GAMES.
SACRAMENTO WINS ONE, STOCKTON
ONE, AND OAKLAND TWO.
The Senators snatch Theirs Out of the
Fire-san Francisco, Oakland and
Sacramento in a Bunch.

For fully three hours and half crowd
that filled the grand and special stands al
Snowflake Park sat to witness the ball
game between the Sacramentos and Stock
tons yesterday afternoon. 1t was not be-
cause the contest lasted that long. but the
train bearing the clubs from Stockton was
an hour and thirty minutes late, and did
not arrive at the ball grounds until nearly
half past A o'clock. If it had not been for
the band of music that luckily was in at
tendance, there might have been more i'm.
patience manifested by the audience, but
as it was there were but four persons who
demanded their money back and left the
park.
AS the train neared the grounds cheer
went up from the stand, and the two clubs
came promptly on the diamond. Stapleton
limped on account of having strained a
cord in his leg, and Bowman was assigned
to first base and McHale to catch. Farrell
was sent into right field. Smith, who has
played here several times with the Sacra-
mentos, was in Stockton uniform and
guarding the initial. Kilroy stepped into
the pitchers box, Goodenough got in posi-
ton to line the ball out, and Umpire Dono-
hue called play precisely at 4:30 o'clock.
1t looked like a run for the Sacramentos
in the first inning but with three men on
bases and Roberts at the bat the ball was
sent to Wilson, who touched Cedar out on
the line. Both clubs were BANKED in the
first inning, and Stockton was shut out in
every inning up to the sixth, but in that
they made enough runs to all but win the
A {hon - ~
was to Gin favor of the home club, but
at the end of the sixth inning matters had
assumed quite different aspect. 1t was
then to in favor of the visitors, and the
Stoektons made their runs in this way:
Fudger was out on Reitz's assist to first
base. Fogarty went to first on balls, and
Swan took his base on being hit on the leg
by pitched ball. A wild pitch and the
two men advanced base. Holiday got
his base on balls, and there were three men
on bases. Wilson struck out, but on the
third strike the ball was pitched wild, and
Fogarty scored. Wilson got to first base
but was very properly called out by the
umpire, under the rule that the batter is
out if he missed the third strike when the
bases are full. Smith lined out hit, and
Holiday and Swan both scored. Kilroy
and Cahill each followed with hit, and
the bases were again filled with runners
Vogt hit fly ball to Roberts, who either
could not see the ball or failed to gauge it,
and three men scored. Fudger struck
out.
inning, and in the eighth the Sacramentos
succeeded in getting man across the plate,
making the score TO 6, with the odds de-
cidedly in favor of Stockton.
The home nine, however, got in some
telling work in the ninth inning, and the
result was the addition of two runs to their
score. Farrell went to the initial on balls,
but was thrown out at second base on the
next pitch. Bowman hit q good single, and
succeeded in making second base by a
hairs breadth. Roberts made hit. Reitz
hit short one to Fudger, who fumbled,
and Bowman scored. McHale got first on
balls. Harper came to the bat and knocked
long fly TO center field. After it was
caught Roberts ran in, scoring the second
run. Daily hit to Wilson, who forced Reitz
out at third base.
The Stoektons commenced their half
with Cahill TO the bat. He drove terrific
line hit into center field, and it was only
by neat stop of Goodenough's that the
drive was not home-run. Vogt hit to
Reitz, who forced Cahill out at the center
bag. Vogt neatly stole second base. Fudger
famed, and there were two out, but the
Stocktons had not yet tired by any means.
Fogarty waited and got his base on balls,
and Swan did the same thing. Then Holli-
day came to the bat, and hitting the ball
squarely it went upward and out into GEN.
ter field. Goodenough was after it, and
the crowd held their breath as the sphere
descended with Goodenough ready to re-
ceive it. A muff meant two runs and
Stockton victory, and hence the anxiety.
The why center-helder caught the ball and
saved the game.
Both pitchers were at their best, but
Harper was the least bit wild. The two
catchers did excellent backstop work, but
Vogt evidently had bad arm.
Umpire Donohue OBLIGATED, notwith-
standing the fact that few in the grand
stand INDUCED in kissing when it was quite
uncalled tor. There are some persons who
think they can judge a ball or strike from
their seats in the grand stand when il is an
utter impossibility to do SO. Following is
the score:
