town yesterday served to swell the attend
ance at the ball game in the afternoon.
The audience was very large one for Sat-
urday, there being about 1000 people in the
stands and on the bleaching boards. The
fact of the Sacramento team appearing as
one of the contestng teams probably had
something to do with the large attendance,
as this club has been drawing very heavy
crowds lately. The Senators were the
favorites too by a large majority, and the
crowd yelled and cheered when they can
tered around the paths to the music of base
hits. But there were also plenty of Oakland
enthusiasts present, as was evidenced BY
spasmodic applause from certain sections Of
the grand stand.
The game, though one-sided and some
what slow, had many interesting features
in addition to several remarkable pieces
of tne fielding, and the crowd waited until
almost the end.
The capital city team played ball at
both ends of the string in style that
would have been hard to improve upon. 1t
seemed as though their sticks were in the
hands of Brouthers and Connors in the
early part of the play. The lads from the
legislative city kept corking out hits with
such regularity that Robinson decided to
manu- q Nhub6C III tlC bOAy anu ouUotAbutCu
Meegan. Young Carsey had been attend
ing to the twirling for the COlonels up to
the fifth inning, and his usually impassive
face wore weary look when he was sent
to guard short field. But it was not en-
tirely his fault that eleven safe hits were
scored against him. Had the C0lonels a
man in left field who knew more about the
game than to play in the samo spot for
every batter some of the hits would have
been converted into put-outs.
The infeld work of the leaders was of
the phen omenal variety. 1t seemed almost
impossible for the Oaklands to get ground
hit past the base lines. ReitZ stopped a
couple of hits, one within ten feet of the
first corner and assisted out the batter on a
grounder that at first appeared to be good
for single at least. The young second
baSeman had nine chances, among them
some difficult flies, and no played without
an error.
Daley at short showed up to splendid ad-
vantage. Out of nine hard chances he accept
ed eight and put up some very pretty ball.
His put-out and assist in the third inning
was the feature of the game. DUNCAN bad
was next to bat. Tip met the bail
squarely with his stick, smashed it in
Daleys direction and DUNCAN ran down
toward second. Daley looked up at the ball

jumped about three feet and pulled down
the sphere with one hand. Before DUNCAN
could realize what had happened he was
doubled up at first.
Godar, had an easy time at third, but kept
ielders busy while he welded the stick.
He made two singles and double Staple
toms tlrSt-base work was far above the
ordinary. He made five pretty plays on
low-thrown balls. Roberts led in stick
work, getting four hits out Of five times at
bat.
Harper up to the seventh inning was
batted for two doubles and a single He
pitched very speedy ball and opposing
hitters found it hard task to rap the
leather on the seam. In the eighth and
ninth innings he let up in his work and was
found for three singles and home run.
Bowman supported his pitcher in perfect
STYLE
Meegan, who had been transferred from
second base to the box in the fifth inning,
pitched the game out in q manner that
might have won for his side but for the lead
Sacramento had taken. He was sized up
for four hits in five innings. Lohman was
decidedly of In his catching, having three
passed balls and two errors. In the eighth |
he drove the ball past Goodenough and |
scored home run. Mcdonald played at
short while Carsey pitched and afterward |
went back to second base. In both posi- |
tions he was perfect, and went out of his |
territory frequently to accept q chance. In |
the sixth inning he caught a high fly back |
of first base and was warmly appauded.
Norris O'Neil made his temperance with |
the team, playing in right field. In the Sec
ond inning by magnificent throw from
deep field he retired Retz at third base.
In the first inning GoOdenoughs triple, |
Lohman's error on Stiekney's throw of |
Days grounder, steal, Godar's single, C. |
ONeilps error and Stapleton's sacrifice |
gave the Senators three runs. For Oak |
land Ill this inning DUNCAN hit two bag |
ger, took second on n. O'Neil's grounder |
and scored on Bowman'S high throw to |
third.
In the second inning singles by Reitz |
MsHale, Harper, DAILY and Roberts, doubles |
by G0dar and Bowman, Stapleton's base on !
balls, IsaacSon's error and a passed ball |
gave Sacramento six runs. In the third |
Goodenough was safe on lsaacson's muff, |
went TO third on Il passed ball and scored |
on Lohman's error. In the fourth Roberts |
hit to left for single. Reitz hit to Stick
ney, went to second on lsaacson's error and |
Roberts scored. Reitz took third on |
CaIsey's muff of McHale'S fly and scored, |
when StIckney erred on Lohman'5 throw |
to catch him mapping at third.
In the fifth Goodenough hit for a double |
and Daley got first on balls. A passed !
ball and Godar's single scored, both run |
ners.
In the eighth for Oakland N. O'Neil hit |
safely and scored with Lohman ON the lat
ter's home run hit. In the ninth Isaacson |
hit safely, took third ON Carsey's single and |
scored on c. O'Neill's sacrifice.
