CLOSELY CONTESTED,
The Senators and FrisCoS Play
Eleven Innings.
Oakland Wins From Stockton in a Splen-
did Exhibition.
Games Of the National and Players Leagues
and the American Association on
Eastern Diamonds.

The score OF yesterdays game between the
Sacramento and San Francisco clubs at Oakland
shows that errors were frequent during the play,
yet there was plenty of excitement IN the strug-
gle OF the teams for victory. The mines seemed
to be so evenly matched, with the exception OF
Inc Senators doing the heavier hitting that II was
unsafe TO wager nickel one way or the other
after the fifth inning. The legislators struck a
winning gait at The start and held the lead until
the sixth, when the Frscos forged up and the
two were neck and reck when the ninth ended.
1t was then train time for the visitors from
this city, but hardly a spectator stirred from the
seats, so anxious were all TO see the result.
There was whole pile of enthusiasm, but 1t
was for the Sacramento boys only. Brilliant
double plays by FlnD's men were coldly received,
but when Sacramento took squirt or made an
average play the crowd could not have yelled
louder If the Colonies were on the field.
The tenth inning passed without producing a
run on either side, but in their succeeding turn
with the stick the Friscos managed to get four
men across the plate on a number OF errors, sac
rihces and a safe hit. That settled the matter as
the other side could not peg up more than one
point In their half.
Both pitchers put up strong ball, but Young
was raped lively at times and few of the hits
made Oh his delivery were lnfeld singles. Har-
per was somewhat unsteady, but prevented fire..
quent safe hitting. Shea and Ebright again had
the misfortune OF appearing prominently in the
error department, but the blunders of the former
were not costly, while the shortstop made things
almost even by his general good fielding work.
In the Sacramento team the playing OF Bow
man and The entire inteld was perfect save an
error by Reitz. Stapleton held down the initial
In his old-tme style and Cedar made some hot
stops In his usual easy graceful way.
Roberts made his first mutf OF the season, and
while The error is lawfully scored against him it
would be more just TO charge Goodelough with
the blunder. The mutf was due 10 a collision be-
tween the two flelders. The ball was hit between
left ana center field, and Roberts called out that
he would catch 1t. Goodenough, however, con-
sidered the chance his property. and when the
men coIlided the ball dropped from Roberts
hands.
Among the features of the game were the dou-
Bile plays by the Sacramento men. In one Bow
man secured foul fly near the grand-stand and
then Threw out runner who tried TO steal Sec
ond. In the other Roberts caught fly in deep
left and threw out at the plate runner who en-
deavOred to score from third base.
