DOWN TIE GRADE.
THE SENATORS LOSE TWO GAMES IN
ONE DAYS PLAYING.
They Were Not in it With Stockton Yes
terday-The Gas City Team Gets
Its Second Wind.

Not content with defeating the Sacra-
mentos at Banner Island Park yesterday
morning, the Stocktons came with them
over here to Snowflake Park and gave the
Senators another walloping in the late
afternoon. How the unfortunate Stocktons
must have relished these two victoriesl
They had been playing ever since the
Fourth of July trying to down the Sen.
ators, and their long-desired chance came
only yesterday. 1t is to be hoped that yes
terday's victories are the beginning of a
succession of winnings by the team, and
that they will keep up the good work until
the club occupies respectable position in
the race for the pennant.
The attendance at the game was very
poor, the crowd being probably the smallest
that has this season occupied the grand
stand at Sunday ball game. 1t is safe to
say that the majority wanted to see Stock
ton win the game, having confidence in the
home teams ability to come out winner at
the end of the season.
The Stocktons started right in to play
ball of superior order, and kept il up
during the entire game. They were never
headed by the Sacramentos, and instead of
falling down they kept steadily increasing
their lead, and won the contest handily by
a score of to 3.
The visitors had their men back in the
old positions. bringing Fudger in to do
shortstop work, Wilson to guard the third
corner, and Armstrong to receive Perrott's
twisters. They played a magnificent game
throughout, and their heavy batting, which
iraa or he al.
game.
Two runs decked their score in the first
inning, and this gave them confidence, for
with such man as Perrott in the box, two
tallies must be considered fine start. One
more was added in the second, one in the
fourth, two in the sixth, and the rest in the
eighth inning. This number was Just five
too many for the Senators, for they could
only rake together three in the second,
fourth and eighth innings.
Perrott was hit safely only four times,
while Harper was gagged for fifteen base
hits. AT least eight of these, however,
slow hits, or hard chances, for which it
would hardly be proper to give infelders
errors.
McHale was behind the bat for the Sac
ramentos, and he clearly showed want of
practice. Bowman had been suddenly In
jured, and it was a case of necessity for
Bob" to receive Harper's delivery. His
work was by no means poor, but then at
times he was uncertain and allowed passed
balls, which proved disastrous.
Armstrong; backstop work could not
have been improved upon. He caught
better game than ever before in Sacrament
to, and he certainly could not have done
more effective work in any previous con-
test.
The intield played great ball, Fogarty
and Selma carrying off the honors. The
latter's one.handed stop of a speedy
grounder made the cranks take of their
hats. The infield also did most of the hard
batting of the team
Stockwell played in right field. He
gauged two flies correct, but had to allow
an error to slip into his score by failing to
field ground ball properly.
The Sacramentos made but four errors,
and McHale got two of them. Roberts let
an easy one bounce between his legs and
Cedar surprised himself by failing to stop
a slow. rolling ball thrown to third base
from the outfeld intended to shut out
runner.
DAILY, Reitz and Stapleton played without
q fault, and the latter got half of the four
hits. Days excellent throwing was con-
spicuous. Neither Roberts, Goodenough
nor Hoffman had chance to catch a fly
ball, and contented themselves with watch
ing the game.
Umpire McLaughlin's decisions on balls
ard strikes were at times very rank, but
neither side was shown any favor. He
was invariably correct on base decisions.
Following is the score;
