berry" the CAPITAL City boys having no
difficulty wh.tever in lining him out.
Little Speer's finger is rapidly .mendipg,

been greatly missed, both in catching and
at the bat.

John Patrick Cahill played with the
amateur Burlingtons Yesterday morning and
distinguished himself by cracking out three
pretty and timely hits, one Of Which was a
three-baser with wings" on it,
The SacTamentoS have made forty-fve
home runs thus far this season, of which
Roberts himself made eleven, equaling the
number gained by the Oakland team for the
season, and being three more than what the
San Francscos and Stocktons secured for
the same time.
Pitcher Kilroy has been sold by Stockton
to Sacramento. This will be most agree
able change for the young twirler who is
CAPABLE of doing excellent work, but whose
efforts met with the most discouraging sup
port from the miSmanagrd mlsfit aggrega-
ton known principally by their numerous
defeats as the Stocktons
YESTERDAY. there were several times in
the game that a hit for the Friscos would
be most welcome. Ebright once called out
TO ward, who was at the bat, and whose
work there has been very weak: Say,
Wardy, try and make 4 hit, one of the kind
you used to make in Seattle" But the
hit that Buck longed for never came" as
Jimmy ANONYMOUSLY struck out.
Midget Sweeney, according TO the
scores, has fallen off considerably in his
fielding of late. His errors are principally
him. and this can, in many cases, be at
tibuted not to his lack of judgment or
agility, but to the very rough condition of
the outfelds of both the Haight-street and
Oakland grounds.
John Patrick Cahill was more than lining
the ball ont in the last few games with the
Portland team. white Wings" is quite a
"kidder," and when he talks it's at a Sal

the pitchers up north, saying Put the ball

Several "old familiar faces" are now seen
as spectators at the Haight-strert Grounds.
They are the returned California bows who
have gained fame and fortune on Eastern
diamonds. Among the recent arrivals are
Pop" SWEET, john Sheridan, Lou Hardie,
Tom Powers, Danny Long, Bill Brown,
Harry O'Day, Fred Carroll and Billy
smalIey. Van Haltren. Tom Brown, Pete
Sweeney and Fogarty are expected back
shortly.
Abner Powell, late of the spokanes,
is in town and is closely watch
ing the performances of players of
the California League. Powell is spoken
OF as the probable manager of the Tacoma
team for next season, and would undOubt-
eddy scare a success, being man of expert
encp, intellectually and business ability, as
well as a clever player. His interests are
also centered in the northern country, where
he has made several profitable real estate in
yeotmeatS.
Harry Hulin, who, for reasons best
known to himself. changed his name to
Howard while playing in the California
League. is credited with saying that he will
never play ball in the Northwest again. as
he don't like either the people up there or
the country. If this isn't a case of % sour
gTapes." it is "horse and horse" Hulin's
rocky. and he is not the class of ball
player that can be considered a desirable
pcquisiton to team in any one respect.
Henry Chadwick, the veteran writer,
says: George Washington Bradley is now
night watchmanin Chestnut treet carriage
store" 1t is not so long ago when Pitcher
Bradley aud Catcher Miller - originally
from the EaSton PENN team-werc regard
ed as one of the crack battery teams of
the professional arena. But that was in
the ball to the bat. Baseball heroes of
yesterday are of but little account to-day,
and Tomorrow they may be relegated to the
list of retired veterans. Colts are in the
ascendant nowadays, and deservedly so in a
majority of instances.
On the 18th inst, per the steamship
Zealandia, Mr.. Hoag of Honolulu will take

series OF games with teams of that place. 1t
Will be stroug professional club, and
as the teams of kalakaua's kingdom are
said to be pretty speedy set, some very in
teresting exhibitions may be expected.
Those likely to make the trip, and who as a

Billy Farrell; catcher, Jimmy Ward; first
baseman, John Thompson; second Dave
Dreamer; third, Farrell or Leveque; short
stop, Josh Reilly; right field, John Patrick
Cahll; center, Billy Cooney, and left field,
George Sharp. Cahill will captain the team.
Colonel Robinson wouldn't be happy I'M
less he had some one in his train to kick
against, and lately Jim Mcdonald has come
in for considerable and uumerited adverse
criticism from the dude manager. AT no
time in his career has Jim put up as fine an
article of bal as he is playing now in all de-
partments of the game. His fielding has been
OF a Dralny, accurate and finished charac-
ter, his hitting heavy, frequent and timely,
while IN base-running he ranks third in the
league, Shea and GoOdenough alone preced-
ing him. Despite the Colone's assertions,
the records bear out the statement
that 'honest jim" is one of the
foremost players on the California
diamond, and his C0lonelship wouldn't
have to look as far as Mcdonald to find a
player in his team who might be sent ont to
watch the amateurs handle slow hits with
profit TO himself. The Oakland nine and a
suffering public long since wearied by his
