NOT CRIPPLES NOW.
The Frisco Team Presents a
Strong Infsld.
Peek-a-Boo Yeaeh, Ebrlsht and Everett
Play Pennant Ball.
The Senators Could Not Bunch Their Hits,
While They Batted Hard at the
Right Tlme-LeVy'S Long Shots.

DR.. Finn, by judicious course Of ginger,
treatment, has entirely rejuvenated his
cripples and without boast or brag last night
he quietly remarked, "Pve held my tongue
ana bided my time for the past two months.
but now can say in spirit of confidence
that San Francisco will win the pennant
this year."
The way the members of the reorganized
home team played ball yesterday afternoon
was enough to make their manager feel
more than proud, and if the men keep up
their lick Finn's prediction will undoubt-
edly come true. With one exception the
infield is now as strong if not stronger, than
any in the league and Is in fine condition.
Not few of their plays yesterday were
really of a phenomenal character, and the
two errors made at shortstop may be ex-
eused on account of the accompanying cir
cumstances.
Veach was at first for the home team and
was never seen to better advantage on this
Coast. He put up perfect ball and that is
saying great deal, for many of his chances
were far from easy. One of his put-outs
was neat piece of scooping, but was so
quickly performed that few of the specta-
tors realized the beauty of the play. A hot
grounder was sent to Ebright, who blocked
III with one mana anu Threw IL with all Ills
force to the initial. The throw was low
and the ball would have gone 10 the grand
stand had not Peek-a- boo deftly gathered it
up. Ebrlght was so astonlShed that ne
could not refrain from clapping his hands
and yelling Good boy, Peek.
Both Ebright and Everett covered great
deal of territory and made numerous pretty
stops and lightning throws. The third
baSeman was IN a mood for taking every
thing and shut out several seemingly sure
hits. His one-hand catch Of line drive
above his head was the feature of the game.
Shea feded his position in good shape and
batted out a pair Of singles. Reub Levy
came within all ace of duplicating his home
run hit Of last year over the right-neld
fence. He knocked the ball to within
foot Of the tip of the fence and made two
bases on the hit. He secured a triple and
single later in the game.
Young pitched strong game, keeping the
hits scattered and displaying fair control of
his curves. In the latter part Of the con-
test Speer accidentally hit Young over the
right eye with the ball, infiicting painful
bruse, but the pitcher stuck to his work.
Otto broke his long string OF ciphers in the
baSe-ht column by making two safe shots.
The Senators played their usual spirited
game, but were out of luck. They could
not hit when safe hits would prove valu-
able. and their four errors made on difficult
chances were all costly.
Stapleton, ReitZ and Hoffman led In bat
ting, the first baseman making more safe
hits on the local grounds than he has done
for two months. Hoffman was as speedy
as ever. and received splendid support from
Bowman, but the swifter he pitched the
harder he was hit, and the Friscos earned
halt of their runs.
The game was very pretty one to look
at, the ielderS being full of daSh and the
batting lively enough to keep the interest
up to an exciting pitch. There were six
double plays and all of them were ap-
plauded
In the first inning Shea hit an infeld
single to Daley, went to second on Ham
ley's sacrifice and scored on Levy's double.
In the second for the visitors Stapleton hit
safely TO left field and Roberts was given
first base on balls StapletOn scored on
Reitz's single and Roberts went home on
Hoifnan's safe hit past short.
In the third for Frisco Shea and Hanley
batted singles and scored on Levy's triple
to right field. For Sacramento in the third
Godar was hit by a pitched ball and took
third when Everett erred on Stapleton's
grounder. Stapleton attempted to steal
second and Godar scored on Eyeretfs muff
of Speer's throw.
In the sixth Stevens was hit by pitched
ball, advanced to third on Young's single
and scored when Otto stole second. In the
seventh Levy hit safely to right. went to
third on McHale's error and scored when
the little right fielder dropped Veach's high
hit. In the eighth Everett was given first
on balls, Went TO second on Speer'S sacrifice,
took third on Young's single and scored
when tile pitcher tried to steal second. The
score:
