saved the contest between the home team
and the Sacram ento nine from being the
dreariest of the season. The scarcity of
runs would imply that an interesting battle
had been played, but the spectators were
far from being enthused by the actions of
the men on the field. There was plenty of
cheering and yelling in the last two in
nings, however, and the audience departed
apparently satisfied with the result, and the
miserable work in the early stages of the
play was forgotten. 1t required two aud a
half hours to send sixteen men safely
around the circuit and in that time nearly
two dozen base runners had died on the
path, after vainly waiting for hit to drive
them across the plate.
AS usual there existed a weak spot in
the Friscos' infield. Mr.. Riley had been re-
quested to vacate the position at shortstop
and Billy Farrell, the all-round substitute,
was engaged to fill the vacancy. Farrell
could hardly play poorer ball Than Riley
did, but Billy labored earnestly to equal the
record of the released player-and sue
ceeded. Five errors of the yellowest hue
and Of abnormal size were charged up
against him. He became so ratified in the
second inning, after fumbling ground hit,
that he threw wild to first, although the
runner was on the bag, and Senator
scored.
The balance of the home team put up
good ball so far as fielding went. Ebright
played fine game at third, blocking diff
cult hits and throwing like shot across the
diamond. His hitting was heavy, and the
three singles that left his bat were inStru-
mental in piling up the runs for his team.
Joe Shea, who has recovered from his inju-
ry, was at second and seemed like new
man. His base-running and sliding was
one of the few pleasing features OF the day.
Joe's batting eye Is still clear, and he
plunked out hits when they We're needed
His fielding was also good, but he unfortu-
nately fumbled ground hit toward the
close of tie contest.
Young made his appearance in the box
and was in tine form after his three weeks
rest. His swift pitching bothered the op-
posing batsmen, and up to the ninth inning,
although they had made three hits off his
delivery, not one of them went beyond the
infeld. In the last three innings the Sem
atorS hammered his curves in lively style,
but close fielding prevented many runs from
being scored. Speer gave his battery mate ex-
celient su port and bis throwing was better than
ii has been for several weeks.
The work of the Frisco outfeld was far above
the average. Hanley made line running catches
OF five flies and Levy gathered In two hard hits
after doing lively sprlnIiDg to get under he ball,
Rube and Hapley both made a pair of safe shots,
one OF Levy's being OF the double variety. Hill
played right field, but was not given chance.
The fielding of the Senators Was not SO sIrcng
or steady as The men from The interior have been
recently exhibiting Reilz, Bowman and Staple
tOa eacn made Two errors on chances that were
not diiheult 10 accept. Godar covered third base
in splendid shape, picking up hot grounders aud
intield hunts with equal ease and lining out the
batter wit: sPeeay ahd aeeGrate tbfaws His
error was lis failure 10 stop throw from right
field. Bowman caught well despite his errors
but his throwing was not up 10 the standard OF
the Sacramento backStop.
AIcHale was fortunate In making four base
hits, but three of hem were OF the scratch order.
His put-Out was catch of fly after making
long run for the bail.
Harper was hit lively at times and exhibited
his old failing-inabiity to put the ball over the
plate. He sent ten men TO bases on balls, and on
one occasion forced IN run when the bases
were filled.
Tie features OF the game were Stapleton's
catch OF a foul fl ' near the grand stand and plays
made by Shea aud Levy in the second and fifth
innings. In the second inning Roberts was on
third base ana McHale at first The latter made
a blum OF stealing second and Roberts Started
for home. Shea, who had the ball, whirled
around toward third. sent the ball like flash to
Ebright, ana moment later Roberts was re-
tired. III the fifth iuning Bowman was on third
and Roberts, who had reached second base, was
playing up the line toward third. Levy ran IN
from tie field and reached second before Rob-
erts was aware OF the trick. Robbie was COM
PEELED to make third, thereby forcing Bowman
toward home but neat throw to the plate re-

safe on FarrelPs error. Roberts hit 10 short,
