The Senators Defeat the Gastowns in th g
Best Game of the Season.
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 1S.-It is known
fact among ball-players that whenever the
attendance is small the game will prove in
teresting aud exciting, and such was the case
to-day. The Stocktons and the home team
put up the finest game of the season.
For seven innings Stockton could not get
a man further than third base, while the
local team could not score after the first in
ming. The only thing to mar the game was the
poor condition of the diamond around short
field, which, no doubt. was instrumental in
causing errors by Daley and Fudger.
On account of the races the game was
called at 10 o'clock, with about $50 specta-
tors present.
Harper was invincible, allowing but two
hits and striking out nine batsmen. Bowman
caught his first game for some time and did
splendid work, throwing two men out tsec-
ond and allowing bat one steal.
Perrott pitched a fine game, keeping the
hits made off him well scattered and having
good control, giving but two bases on balls.
Outside Of Fudger he received good support,
Armstrong playing fine game particularly.
Charlie Sweeney umpired MS first league
game with great success, his judgment on
balls and strikes being excellent and his
decisions good.
In the first inning Goodenough hit for two
bags, and Roberts was safe on Fudger's er-
ror. Bowman'S single advanced them a
base, and Goodenough scored on passed
ball. Roberts scored on StockwelPs error
of McHale'S fly.
No more runs were scored until the
eighth, when Harper muffed Wilson's easy
fly. Pache hit to Godar, who threw poorly
10 second, and both runners were safe.
Perrott struck out. Holiday was given his
base on balls. Fogarty also struck out.
Harper forced Wilson across the plate, Civ
ing Selma his base on balls. Stockwell
ended the inning by striking out. The score ::
