AMATEUR WORK.
Stockton Wins a Game From
the Frisco Team.
Riley Again Looms Up Very Largely in the
Error Column.
Chase and PerrOtt Pitched Good Ball, but the

Manager Finn probably realizes he made
mistake in releasing Buchan before he
had secured competent man to fill the va
cancy in the infield. Buchan was not
brilliant third baseman, but he was tolera-
bly, steady in his work and occasionally
knocked out base-hit or two in a game.
AS it now stands the home team is sadly
in need of good man to guard either third
base or shortstop. An amateur has been
assigned to fill up the team and through his
wretched work the San Francisco club
is several pegs lower in the pennant race.
Riley is said to have played excellent ball
at second for amateur teams. but he is en-
tirely out of his element in a professional
nine. Yesterday he made five glaring er-
rors and they aided the opposing side in OBJ
tanning as many runs in the second and
third innings.
Lookabaugh and Young are good in
fielderS, and Finn might play either at
short with better results than have been
obtained through the erratic performances
CT the young man who has not done right
well. Or Hanley could be returned tenn
porarily to his old position and the outield
easily filed.
The game yesterday was delayed through
the carelessness Of Colonel Robinson, who
has charge of the safe cont aiming new
balls. The Colonel was busy elsewhere,
and the audience was kept waiting until he
was hunted up.
Chase pitched for the home team and the
Stocktons found his curves for six scattered
singles. The pitching was all right but
the support Chase received in the first
three innings was of character seldom
seen outside of a sch0ol-boyS' contest In
these three innings Hanley, Speer, Ebright
and Riley rolled up nine errors and the
visitors scored six runs. Four of the mis-
plays were made by Riley and two by Han
ley. 1t was an off day for the center
fielder He dropped two fly balls and
threw high TO third base to catch runner.
Shea and Perrier and Ebrlght played
good ball. The second baseman accepted
all of his chances and Ebright made several
clever blocks on hard hit grounders.
Speer'S throwing arm was out OF joint and
the Stocktons stole bases on him without
the slightest fear of being thrown out.
The boys from the Gas City were full of
ginger and played ball as if the disposition
OF the pennant rested on the issue of yester-
days game alone. Two errors were made
IN the team, one by Captain Cahill and the
other by Wilson. and both were excusable.
The inteId had most of the work to do and
did it in good style. Selma played a great
game at first, catching wide and low balls
easily and gracefully, and gathering the
seventeen chances without the shadow Of a
ball in their positions, and the latter We'd
with his captain in base-stealing honors.
Perrott was in the box for Stockton, and
the home players could barely touch his de-
nVeTy. Four hits were raped out by
Frisco, and two were made by Hanley.
Perrott had fine control Of the ball, and
forced the opposing batsmen to use their
sticks, as he kept putting the sphere over
the plate, but Finn's men could do little
more than hit to the infielders. Duane
caught well, but did not have many oppor-
tunities to retire base-runners by throwing
them out
The feature of the game was a pretty
double play between Ebright and Perrier-
one that is seldom accomplished. In the
eighth inning Duane reached first on sim
gle, and Wilson hunted to Ebright. The
Frisco captain by clever stop and speedy
throw threw out Wilson at first. Duane
endeavored to reach third on the play, but
Perrier sent the ball across the diamond
like fash, and Ebrght touched the runner
out. The score.
