THE SENATORS DOWN THE coLoNELs
IN ELEVEN INNINGS.
Umpire Fishers Erratic Decisions Make
the Game One of Unusual and
Exciting Uncertainty.

Another great game was witnessed by
Sacram entans yesterday at Snowflake
Park. Since the commencement of the
present squirt by the home team. interest in
the national game in this city has increased
nearly hundred per cent, and the crowd
that gathered at the grounds yesterday was
larger than at any time during this season,
and the receipts must have been 81 900 or
over. 1t was an eleven.inning contest, and
the excitement was intense from the be.
ginning to the end. Between praising and
hooting the umpire, cheering the good
plays and kissing at the bad ones, there
was little opportunity for one to hear the
coachers.
The Sacramentos started in as usual.

with hit. Daily famed, but Stapleton
drove out a single. and Goodenough scored.

rank mutt, and two men scored. Roberts

inning Isaacson was safe on hit, stole
second, and then third on Meegan's sacri-
flee. G. O'Neills hit brought the runner
across the plate.
Neither side made a run in the fifth,
sixth or seventh innings, and matters be-
gan to look rather blue for the home team,
the score at the time standing 5 to 3 in
favor OF Oakland but nowadays the Sacra-
mentos seem to think it no trick to score
couple of runs when they need them.
In the eighth inning they opened up

to tie the score in the ninth inning and
they did so.

tumble, and Goodenough raped out a hit,
Bowman flew 10 Meegan, but DAILY drove

who was first to bat, struck out. c.. O'Neill
got his base on balls and stole second.
Stickney famed. DUNCAN then came to
the bat, and the people in the grand stand
held their breath for fear hit would be
made. The ball was met with whack by
Dungan's bat, but Cedar picked it off the
ground. He forwarded it to first base, but
the throw w wild and Stapleton had to
run off from the bag to get it. G. O'Neill
took advantage of the opportunity to score
and started for home. Quick as a fash
Stapleton sent the sphere to Bowman at
the plate, and the over-anxious Oaklander
was touched out, while the audience fairly
howled.

There was excuse for O'Neill's error

guyed him from start to finish. He make
some rank decisions, but had a happy
faculty of squaring things afterward. He
