Another Excellent Game Witnessed ON
the Home Diamond--Four League
Games To-day.

Another ball game, fully as well played
as the one on Friday, was seen yesterday
afternoon BY quite large number of PEG.
pie. and the Sacrsmentos and San Fran
ciscos figured as the contesting mines. 1t
was another of those gingerly contests
wherein sharp fielding prevented scoring,
and runs were few and far between.
At the start it looked as though the Sac
ing the entire nine innings their bits land
there were many of them) went straight to
an in or out fielder, and in every case the
career of the runner was cut short by the
excsllent fielding of the visiting team.
The bali was batted high and low, but only
FIVE times during the game could the Saera-
mentos knock out square hit. Levy was
under every thing that went into left field,
excepting Roberts home run.
Stevens corralled all the high ones that
were batted into the right garden, and the
rest of the team played almost perfect ball
and worked together as regularly as the
machinery of clock. Veach got every
thing on first base aud many of his
chances were hard ones. Every one of
Everett's three assists we're on sharp, swift
grounders, hit between third and second
bases. Ebright did more talking than any
thing else, but it was all for the good OF
his club. Shea made one neat stop at
second base, and was applauded by the
audience.
On the part of the Sacramentos, Roberts
playing was the most prominent of any OF
the team. Not fly ball or ground hit
passed him, though he stopped one of the
latter after having fallen down on his back.
Several of his catches were made after long
runs, and his cry Of warning to the other
players, I've got it" while on the run for
q fly, was assurance that the ball would be
caught.
Roberts is justly considered by all the
players in the league as the most reliable
outfelder that ever played in California.
His home-run in the fifth inning was the
only thing that saved the Sacramento club
from being whitewashed.
Stapleton PLAYED well at first, and Cedar,
DAILY and ReitZ did some good work in
their respective positions. McHale made
neat catch of liner into right field in the
seventh inning.
Hoffman pitched what would ordinarily
have been winning ball, and if his support
had been trife better the game might
have resulted differently. Ward caught an
excellent game.
The two runs scored by the San Fran
ciscos in the third inning were on Good
enough's error. After juggling the ball in
center field, he threw it wild to third base,
and Everett and Speer scored. The third
run made was in the eighth inning.
The Sacramentos lonely run was the
four Dagger made by Roberts, but there
was one inning particularly in which the
team ought to have had man across the
plate. 1t was the fourth. Stapleton went
to first on balls and Daily and Cedar each
made hit, thus making three men on
bases, and no one out. An ordinary sacri-
fee would have scored man, but the
home team were not equal to the occasion.
McHale and Ward both Tanned" and
Retz knocked sky ball foul, which Speer
gathered in.
Donabue umpired the game in an excel
lent manner.
A feature of the game was the fact that it
was the shortest played in the California
League this season. Only one hour and
twenty minutes time was consumed in fin
ishing the nine innings. Following is the
