PULLING FOR THE pBIAIIr.
SACRAMENTO DEFEATS THE BAY CLUB
WITHOUT DIFFICULTY.
The Senators Take the Lead from the
Start and Win the Game by
Score of 10 to 5.

Yesterdays ball game at Snowflake Park
between the Sacramentos and San Franciscos
was postponed contest from April 18th.
1t was given under the auspices of the Bee,
and every one was admitted free of charge.
As matter of course the stands were
packed with people, and fully three. fourths
of the spectators were ladies, many of
whom had never witnessed ball game be-
fore. The game, however, was poor one
to enthuse an audience, as the Sacramentos
kept the lead from the start by large mar
gin. and made the contest very one esided
affair. A number of the Sacramento
players were presented with bouquets dur
ing the game.
The second inning virtually settled the
question as to which club would win.
Young, who was in the box for the San
Franciscos, was certainly not IN good con-
ditlon, and when the Senators came to the
bat for the second time they smashed out
hits at such lively rate that before the
third out had been made six men crossed
the home plate. Stapleton was first up.
He hit for single base. and Roberts and
Reitz, who followed let the wild throws go
by and got their bases on balls McHale,
who always hits the bail when a bit OF
stick work is needed, smashed out two
bagger and two men scored. Coughlin
struck out and then Goodenough hit for
two bases, bringing home Reitz and Nc
Hale. DAILY batted Goodenough across the
plate, and Bowman in turn knocked out
hit and Daily scored. Godar struck out,
and Stapleton, who came to the bat for the
second time in the inning, hit sky ball
into right field. McCarty captured it after
long run and pretty catch.
Three more runs were made by the Sac.
ramentos in the sixth inning and one in
the seventh.
San Francisco scored, Levy in the fourth
inning and Speer in the fifth. In the
fourth Levy reached first on forced hit
and tailed on Ebrights three. cushion
drive to the back fence in left field. In
the fifth, Speer reached the initial on Sta
pleton's error, went to second on passed
bali, and came home on Goodenough's
overthrow to third base.
Coughlin lost his effectiveness in the lasL
inning and he was batted quite freely.
Five hits were made in this inning and
three runs were scored by the visitors
McCarty hit the ball hard and Looka-
baugh reached the third corner on g long
hit into right field. Hill, Hanley and
Levy also swung the ash with telling
effect.
After the second inning Lookabaugh
went into the box for the San Franciscos,
but the lead of the Senators was almost
too much for him to overcome.
Coughlin pitched throughout the contest
and up 10 the last inning only five hits had
been made off him
Speer gave his pitchers superior support
and caught half-dozen foul flies. Bow
man did his usual good work behind the
bat. No one attempted to steal base ex-
cept Shea, and he saw the ball at second
base before he got there.
Hanley erred on the two chances af.
forded him.
Levy's work in the left garden was an
example of how fielding should be done.
He pulled down four long fly balls in mag
nifcent style.
Hill cut short the career of two "high
rollers" that came his way, and besides he
hit the bali hard.
With the exception of one of his chances
Daily played pretty game at short. He
tielded nine times without an error, and
did the main part of the work in two
double plays with Stapleton.
Stapleton hit safely three times. He re-
ceived an error on a ball thrown by DAILY.
1t struck the ground about twelve feet
away from the base and Stapleton" "muffed"
it on the bound.
Roberts made the most difficult catch of
the game. He ran forward aud caught
liner just before it touched the ground.
An ordinary fielder would certainly have
waited for the bali to bound.
The double umpire system was seen for
the first time here. The referees were
Donohue and the new Eastern umpire,
Mclaughlin. They took turns in Judging
balls and strikes, and in making the base
decisions.
There were more balls used during the
game than ever before in single contest
IN this city and probably anywhere in the
State. Eight new spheres had TO be
brought into play on account Of the num-
Der of fouls that were knocked over the
fence.
Manager Finn protested the game be-
cause Coughlin pitched.
