tns-The Players.

The stockton team went down TO third
place, on an even notch with the Sacra-
mento Club, yesterday afternoon by losing
the game with the San Franciscos. The
game was closely played, but the absence
of exciting features kept the rather small
audience in q quiet state. The nome nine
gave neat fielding exhibition outside of
the few errors made, and these plumbers
were costly. Ebright at short played
great game, taking care of some hard-hit
grounders and catching a fly to deep field
and foul that landed near the bleachers.
Stevens caught his pitcher steadily and
without flaw, but had an uncertain range
when throwing to second, his error being
caused by an overthrow to shut off a steal.
Lookabaugh pitched his best game this
season. keeping the hits down to six singles
and double and striking out seven men.
Levy in the first inning made a splendid
catch of high hit from Holidays bat.
Barring Cahill's work in left field, the
visitors put up fair fielding game. Cahill
appeared to be thoroughly demoralized and
could not handle anything that came his
way. He misjudged one long fly, dropped
another, avoided couple of hits as though
the sun was shining in his eyes and fun
bled single for such length of time that
the batter reached second. Yet for all his
poor playing Patsy escaped with being
charged with only two errors.
Parrott was in the box for Stockton and
pitched winning ball. He gave but one
man first base on balls, and prevented hits
from being punched except in two innings
De Pangher gave him the support he de-
served, and twice succeeded in throwing
out base-runners at second. AT other times
his throwing was uncertain.
EOparty and Eudger plaVed their poSi-
tons in their usual accurate way, and batted
the ball hard. Holiday did some pretty
work in center field.
Stockton scored one run in the first inning
on Cahlll's single over Short Holidays sac
rifice and Fudger's hit to center In the
third for Stockton, Holiday butted safely
to left, stole second and third, and scored
on Fogarty's infield single.
In the fourth for San Francisco, Sweeney
made first safely on Selna's error, and was
forced at second on Hanley's hit to Wilson.
Hanley took second on wild pitch. and ad-
vanced to third on Ebright's single to CEN
ter. Ebright stole second and De Pangher
threw high to second, Hanley scoring and
Ebright going to third. Speer batted sim
glo to center, scoring Ebright. A wild
pitch sent Speer to third and lie scored on
Levy's single.
In the fifth, for Stockton, Swan was hit by
pitched ball and stole second. Holiday
was given first on balls. Fudger hit to left
wild to catch Holiday at third and the
runner scored, Fudger going to the third
corner. Fogarty's single to left scored
Fudger.
In the eighth, for the home nine, Hanley
hit to Wilson and took second on the third
baseman's wild throw TO first. Ebright hit
safely, scoring Hanley and taking second
on the throw-in. Speer's sacrifice sent
Ebright to third, and he scored on Levy's
double to right.
Stockton, in the eighth, scored one run.
Selma got first base on balls, stole second
and scored on Buchan's high throw of Will
sons bunt.
In the ninth, for San Francisco, Buchan

sacrifice and scored on Shea's double to left
SWeeney's single sent Shea across the plate.
