ROUND By ROUND.
THE CAPITAL CITY BALL TEAM STILL
CLIMBING THE LADDER.
Stockton Done Up HandiIy in Very
Interesting Game-The Colonels
Defeated.

There was probably less enthusiasm
game than in any that has taken place at
Snowflake Park this season. An occa-
sional shout would go up, but most of the
time one could have almost heard pin
drop in the grand stand. There was, how
ever, a large crowd-probably the largest
that has yet attended Thursday game
here-but they seemed to think that it was
sure thing for the Sacramentos, and the
result proved they were right. Sacramento
won the game, "hands down." by score
of IL to 5.
The Stocktons were badly handicapped,
as indeed they have been for the last
month. Heinze, an amateur caught for
them, and showed that he was not capable
of doing the backstop work for the team.
much less to catch while Hapeman was in
the box. The latter was wild and caused
too much unnecessary delay by handling
the ball before delivering it. After catch.
ing for three innings, during which time
he had four passed balls, Heinze retired
from the game and Wilson came up be-
hind the bat Cahill took the latter's place
at third base, and Perrott went into right
field.
Before the game was over Wilson had
added three more passed balls to the four
already made by Helnze, and the total of
seven was a very important factor in the
defeat Of the Stockton team. Both of the
catchers also threw wildly to bases, and
this was the reason the Sacramentos piled
up seven cen base-steals.
Holiday made two magnificent catches
in center field for the Stocktons. and Kelly
played well at short. Selma, at first base,
got an error for dropping thrown ball.
Fogarty erred once in ten chances Ca
hill, while in right field. made two put
outs, and both were excellent catches. One
of them was from Roberts bat, the ball
being pulled down a few feet from the
right field fence.
The Sacramentos seemed bound to win,
and although matters looked rather dubi-
GUS when, after the second inning was
over, the score was to in the Stocktons'
favor, yet this did not appear to dismay the
home nine and in the next inning they
set to work and had scored four runs be-
fore the side was out. They shut the WIS.,
itors out after the second inning. and kept
adding to their own score in the fifth, sew
enth, eighth and ninth innings, until the
score 'totaled" eleven.
there was not the least thing to indicate
that only few hours before the game
there had been such wrangle between
the players and the managers. They
batted when hits were needed, and took
every chance offered.
Zelgier pitched steady game through
out using good head-work ard watching
bases so closely that only two of the Stock
tons made steals. Bowman, as usual,
caught to perfection, and threw accurately
to bases
Stapleton, at first base, was up to every
thing, and Reitz watched the center.b as
though determined that no runner should
get there If he were given a fair show to
get the ball beforehand. Every time that
Reitz plays he gives new evidence that he
is an infelder without an equal in any
club on the Pacific coast
Cedar made an awful muff of an easy
pop-tiy ball, but otherwise felded well,
and stopped couple of wild throws.
DAILY had his throwing arm with him
yesterday, and lined the ball over to first
in good style. Two double plays, in which
he, Reitz and Stapleton participated, were
of the lightning order. Cedar also took
part in double play.
Roberts did not have anything to do in
left field, but GoodenOugh caught five flies
and McHale took charge of one. The wiry
center fielder found Hapeman's delivery
safely four times, and McHale's little hit
in the eighth inning brought in two runs
Goodenough sent liner out between the
center and left field and scored home
rum. Following is the score:
