TURN OF THE TIDE.
THE HOME NINE GETS IN AND WINS
ANOTHER GAME.
Admirers of Baseball Treated to an
Excellent Exhibition of Bat
ing and Fielding.

Aoout l,ouV ptopie Witnessed as interest
ing game of ball yesterday afternoon at
Snowflake Park as one could wish to sse,
and majority Of those who attended un-
doubtedly went home with their vocsl
organs somewhat strained, for the Sacra-
mento players had won their third game,
and that only by lively hitting in their half
of the ninth inning. Oakland made
game fight throughout, but the Senators
were too speedy for them, and succeeded
m winning deserved victory by score
OF 9 to s. There was no inning to spare.
Both clubs played ball from the word
go," and although Sacramento led up to
the eighth inning the Oakland team was
working for all there was in them to close
up the gap. They were rewarded in their
efforts by tying the score in the eighth
inning. The Sacramentos, however, bound
not to be outdone, slugged Cobb's delivery
in their half Of the last inning and three
OF their men crossed the plate amid the
shrieks and hOwls of an almost frantic
audience.
The game commenced with the sacrs-
mentans at the bat, and the four runs thew
~Ae~N~S
encouragement for starter. Goodenoughr
the hrst man to bat, was retired on a short
fly to Stickney. Stapleton raped out a
three base hit, and scored on Harper's sim
gle which followed. Daly's clean hit ad-
vanced Harper to third base, and both men
crossed the plate on Godar's single Reitz
then came to the bat, and after feeling for
the bail for while, he hit it squarely, and !
the sphere went out to the back fence in |
center field, while Godar scored The little |
second baseman ran for dear life TO score a |
home-run, and he reached the plate in |
safety, but Umpire Sheridan, who appearedii
to be watching him while running around |
the bases, noticed that he failed to touch |
the second one by about a foot, and he wasI
called out. For the hit he receives credit, |
according to the rules, for only a two !
bagger. Roberts ended this successful in
ming by retiring on grounder to first base !
Sacramento increased her score by two |
runs in the seventh inning. Goodenough |
reached first on an error of Isaacson in |
missing ball thrown to him, and Staple |
ton again came to the rescue with second |
triple-bagger. Goodenough scored on the |
hit. The Sacramentos' stalwart guardian |
of the initial also stole the home plate on a |
passed ball.
Oakland failed to register anything ex-
cepting ciphers until the fourth inning, |
when DUNCAN reached first on balls, stole |
second and came home on McDonald's hit. |
The run made by the Oaklands in the |
sixth inning was scored through a misun- |
derstanding on the part of McHale. n. |
O'Neill had reached the third corner on |
three base hit, and Mcdonald came to the |
bat with TWO men out. Two strikes were
called on him, and to all appearances he !
struck at the next ball pitched He
missed it and McHale caught it, and sup
posing him to have struck out, threw the
ball down to Reitz at second base, thinking
that the side was retired. While Reitz had
the ball in his hand U'Neill ran home and
Mcdonald, the batter, trotted off to first
base. Everybody commenced to wonder
until Sheridan announced that the last ball
pitched to Mcdonald was "balr' and
not strike" making four balls and en-
titling the batter to his base. O'Neill's run
was accordingly counted. and the side was
not retired until the next batter was put
out.
One more run was added to the visitors
score in the seventh inning, and in the
eighth they piled up three and tied the
score. In this latter inning they seemed
to have found out the secret of Zeigler's
delivery, and DUNCAN, the first man up,
sent the ball far enough into right field to
score four bsgger. The next two men,
N. O'Neill and Mcdonald went out on flies
to Roberts and Reitz, and Lohman changed
matters by making another home run.
Hill followed this up with two-bagger,
and scored on Isaacson's single. Cobb was
assisted out by Zejgler.
When the Sacramentos came to the bat
in the last inning, matters looked rather
dubious for them, and the cranks sighed
when Goodenough famed" Stapieion
was lucky enough to reach first on Nc
Donald's error, and Harper also gained the
initial on an error of O'Neill at third.
DAILY responded with a timely hit and
Stapleton scored. In their effort to pre-.
vent him from tallying. the Oaklands be-
came considerably ratified and threw the
ball about wildly. 0Neill commenced
quarrelling with Roberts, who was on the
coaching line. and the rest of the nine were
crowded together on the diamond and no
one seemed to know what to do with the
ball. In the excitement Harper made
dash for home and reached it in safety.
The last run was scored by Daily, while
Godar was put out at second base.
Oakland failed to tally in their half of
this inning and lost the game The last
what would have been home run had not
Roberts made magnificent running catch
of the ball.
Zeigler pitched splendid game, and up
to the eighth inning but three hits had been
made by the Oaklands. The remaining
four hits made were knocked out in this
inning. In the ninth he rallied again and
pitched well.
Cobb was touched up pretty lively, and
his allowing the home nine to bunch their
hits, together with some very rank errors,
made by bis in6elo, lost the game.
Lohman and McHale both caught well,
| and the latter's throwing to second base,
after the first two innings, was excellent.
The Sacramento infield played errorless
game, and each showed his ability to take
care of his position. Reiiz was every
where, and pulled down flies that ordi-
narily a center fielder would be supposed to
| catch.
Staple'on never missed chance at first
and both DAILY and Godsr were on hand
| when occasion demanded it. The latter has
but one error since the season commenced
Following is the score:
