marred by his diSagreeable haOlt IN giving
an unnecessary exhibition OF his temper
when he fails to make play.
Last Wednesday Ed StapletoD, the cap
tain of the Senators, was married TO MISS
Libbie Kicker of Sacramento. Inc happy
couple spent a short but joyous honeymoon
in this city. -,
the teams on their southern trip. After
the season closes Sweeney will return
home. but will in all probability be with the
Oaklands again next season.
The Stocktons prefer TO see Sacramento
win the pennant, but although their feelings
may be that way, they have done but little
to bring down the percentages of either the
San Franchises or Oaklands lately.
The Sacramento team give evidence OIL
being the only patriotic team in the League.
Their uniform consists of the national colorS,
the stockings and bet being white, the cap
red and the shit and pants blue
The race for base stealing honors is very
close and interesting Shea now leads
Goodenough by two steals, having eighty
seven to his credit while "Goody has
piifered eighty-five bases up to date.
The Senators are now appropriately called
the Bridegrooms-three of their number
having entered the marriage state this year.
The benedctS of the team are GoodenOugh,
Harper, Hoffman and Stapleton.
Charley Sweeney scored big success as
an umpire in Sacramento. The Senatorial
IL
umpire can suit their very exactlng and crit.
zeal tastes lie must certainly be "superfne."
Matt Stanley, who did excellent work be-
hind the bat for Stockton. is now with the
Fresnos. With the same team are also
Chase the pitcher, Jack Cullen, Britain, late
of Tacoma, and Thurman of Kansas.
Harper is surprising every one by the way
he is hitting the ball of late. In the past
ten games he has not been struck out once,
while he has averaged over hit each game.
George will make the other hitting pitchers
look TO their laurels.
Ward, the Senator'S new shortstop,
looks enough like his predecessor, DAILY, to
be mistaken for his younger brother. Ward
has made quite a hit in the few games he
played, showing up we'll in his position and
at the bat, and being fine coacher.
Hank ReitZ, the clever little second base
man of the Sacramentos, Is undecided
whether to go to San Diego with Stapeton's
team or not. Should he go East, jim Nc
Donald will in al probability be seen guard
ing second base for the Senators on their
southern trip.
The Sto kton team is again in hard luck,
having three men on the sick list. Perrott is
laid up with malaria and Selma is incapaci-
tated from playing. having inflammatory
rheumatism. Armstrong is also sick man,
and instead of PLAYING should be in bed I'M
der medical attendance.
Holiday and Hoffman had the eighth III
ming all 70 themselves yesterday. Hoffman
made all the assists and Holiday the put
outs. The first play in the inning was
clever piece of work, Hoffman cutting off
single for Veach by capturing his hit over
second bag, and by a rapid recovery and
throw retired him at the initial.
fridays game at Sacramento was played
under protest, as there was no official UNI
pire on the ground. O'Neill wanted Carsey
to umpire. but Bowman, who was acting as
captain during Stap!eton's absence. woul |

torially connected with the Record Union,
Jfficated and gave excellent satisfaction.
The folio wing is a list of the players whe
have made home runs on the Sacramento
grounds this season, and the number of
''fcur basers" acq'lired by each: Stap'eto
8, Goodenough 3, Roberts 8, Daley 3. Bow
man 3, Reitz 3. McHale ., Harper l, Cedar
4, Hoffman l, DUNCAN 5. EUright 3 and
Lehman, Wilson, c. ONeill and Everett
one each.
Charley Tillson, prominent amateur
who played few games with Stockton in
'SS, was offered an engagement by the
Sacramento management last week Iil!Son
did not accept of it. however, for business
reasons. As he is one of the most pronis
ing of the many local amateurs 1iilson will
probably have chance TO play with one OF
the big teams next season.
Charley Sweeney, the latest acquisition
to the league staff Of umpires, is an ideal
official. OF commanding presence and
most perfect knowledge of all the intricacies
of the game, together with a clear discern
ment as to what constitutes balls and
strikes gained by years OF experience IN the
pitchers box on many diamonds, Sweeney
is in every respect well qualified for the po-
siiOn he now holds.
Jack DAILY has been temporarily released
from the SacranentoS, and Jimmy Ward of
Tacoma and recently with the FreSnoS has
been signed in his place Daily has not been
putting up his regular game, by reason Of
iamenesS in his throwing arm, caused by
rheumatism. He intends to come to this
city and take course of saltwater baths,
and when fully recovered will doubtless
pay the season out with the Senators.

HanlcE, huucIlc, Iullslll, lNtltL, DUN IlItl

test will continue until the close of the sea-
san, and undoubtedly big vote will be
pOlled.
