1t Loses One Day and Wins the Next
Defeated Yesterday Oakland
Loses at the Bay.

The San Franciscos turned the tables on
the Sacramentos in yesterdays game and
gave them good drubbing, as the score of
I3 to would indicate The visitors won
yesterdays game in precisely thesame way
that the Senators won the contest Friday.
Hard hitting on the part of the San
Franciscos made the victory theirs, and it
was not because OF poor fielding work that
the home nine allowed the game to be won
from them.
In short, Harper was responsible for the
most part for the San Francisco getting.
He did not seem to have his effectiveness
with him, and the visiting team LINED
out" some of the prettiest singles, doubles,
triples and home runs that have ever been
seen on ball ground. The hits were
nearly all square drives into the outfield,
and Goodenough, Roberts and Hoffman
were kept on the jump almost constantly.
Everett knocked the ball out 10 the back
fence and scored "four-bagger," and Eb-
right accomplished a similar feat. Hanley
and Levy smashed the sphere hard and
reached the third corner before their hits
were fielded Stevens and Speer whacked

of third base and each scored two-baeger.
Veach banged the ball against the right
field fence couple OF times, but being
slow runner he made but one double
Shea and Coughlin were the only men in
the San Francisco team who could not hit
safely.
What made the visiting mines score so
large was their punching of hits in the
fourth, sixth and eighth innings. The
team fielded splendidly and in the face of
their good playing the two errors would
have been forgotten by everybody who at
tended the game, excepting the scorer.
The work of the outheld was worth see
ing. They played such a remarkable game
that it was almost impossible for the Sena-
ators to knock a ball into the air out of
their reach. Stevens captured three flies
in magnificent style, Hanley accepted two
and Levy gathered in three.
Coaghlin pitched for all there was in
him. and his exertion was plainly notice
eble to the audience. He seemed deter
mined to win the game, and he worked SO
hard that even his entire uniform was wet
with perspiration. Speer caught him in
excellent shape and threw to bases very ac-
curateiy.
Reilz got mad toward the latter part of
the game aud made an error in the eighth
inning when he could have avoided it.
His ire was aroused when he missed fly
back of second base. 1t was really not his
error but Goodenough's. The ball was
knocked high into the air back of the CEN
ter bag, and Stapleton called for Good
enough to take it. Reitz ran towards
Goodenough so as to be of assistance should
the ball be 'muffed, but the center fielder,
for some reason or other, aid not attempt
TO catch the bali, and Reilz made dash
for it at the last moment, when he saw
that Goodenough was not going to take it.
Reiiz dropped the bail and got the error,
him.

this time the owner of the building Mr.
Wilcox, and J. Henry Miller a neighbor,
arrived. and after considerable hard work
they got the fire out. No alarm was turned
in, as the parties who kept the keys 10 the
boxes could not be aroused.
When Mrs Cuthbert first tried the front
door of the store she could not open it, so
she broke the glass in with her fist, sus-
tanning several severe cuts, bat she worked

He alighted in the inclosure of the Park,
about 200 yards from where he started,
with something like dull thud.' He
