| llere was no cllauRe Hdue III Iu6 Teld-
tive standing of the leaders of the league
race yesterday. Both San Francisco and
| Sacramento lost and there is still the differ
| ence of half game between them. To-
| days contest at Sacramento between the
Frisco and the Capital City team will de-
| eide whether Finn's men will hold first
| place for a little while longer iori the
! Senators step into their shoes. Should the
| Sacramentos win they will have lead Of a
| small fraction.
The Senators had splendid opportunity
of going home last night with three straight
victories and the honor of being at the head
of the proce ssion. But they lost it yester-
day afternoon in the sixth inning. In the
first and third innings they made enough
runs to insure victory for them, but they
threw their chances away later.
The game opened up fayorably for the in
terror people. They did some opportune
batting at the start, and in the third two
errors gave them three runs. But in the
sixth they seemed to 60 to pieces and four
of the Colonels went over the plate. That
Sc tiled it for Sacramento. Oakland then
steadied down to good fielding work, and
Carsey pitched uch effective ball that the
Senators could not score more than one
run.
The young Oakland twirler was in fine
form and the opposing batters were at loss
| to find his curves. They made total of
six hits off him-two in the first inning, one
| in the fifth. two in the seventh and a
| scratch hit in the ninth. His support was
| almost perfect outside OF the third inning
when Mcdonald fumbled ground hit and
| Bill Stickney threw the ball over to the
| grand stand with two men ON bases. Lob
| man made the third error against the Oak
| land team. 1t was muff of fly to deep
| field in the seventh inning and did not
| prove costly. Lohman played good ball at
| short, and so did Isaacson at the initial.
| DUNCAN caught Carsey in good shape and
| threw well to the cushions. Pete Meegan
| played in right field for the Colonels and
| filled his duties satisfactorily, but was weak
| at bat.
Hoffman was in the box for the Senators
and pitched a fair game. He was hit hard
| ut times. Stapleton's errors were a mutf of
thrown ball and failure to stop a
| grounder. Daley was also 'Off" in block
| ing hits. Bowman played splendid game
| behind the bat, his nine chances being ae-
| cepted without msplay. Goodenough
| hit the hardest in his team, made two bril-
| liant steals and pulled wn three flies that
| required sprinting to secure.
| In the first inning Goodenough hit safely
| past shoyt, and stole second and third bases.
| Godar hit to Carsey who threw home to
| catch GOoden0ugh, Tut the fielder got back
| safely to third and GOdar reached second.
| Stapleton'S single past short scored both
| runners.
In the third Goodenough made first on
| McDonald's error and Daley was hit by
| pitched ball. Godar hit to Stickney, who
threw high to first and Goodenough and
| Daley scored. GOdar took third on the
mIspIay and Stapleton was given first base
| on balls, attempted to steal second and
Godar scored on the throw down.
In the third for Oakland, c. O'Neill took
first on balls and went to third on Dun
gan's infield single. DUNCAN stole second
and both runners went home on McDon-
AIDS single TO right field. LOhman's double
sent Mcdonald across the plate. In the
fifth DUNCAN hit safely to right, stole
second, went to third on McDonald's strike
out and scored on a throw down to second
to catch Lohman, who had been given first
on balls.
In the sixth inning Stickney was safe on
Daley's error, went to third on a wild pitch
and scored on Carsey's single. Hill hit to
Stapleton, VINO let the ball pass, and Carsey
took third. Hill stole second and Carsey
scored on the throw down. G. O'Neill was
hit by pitched ball A passed ball scored
Hill and advanced O'Neill to third. Nee
gan was given first on balls and Hoffman
tried to catch him mapping, but Stapleton
muffed the bali aud O'Neill scored.
In the seventh McHale made first on
force hit, went to second on passed ball,
to third on Hoffman's sacrifice and scored
on Go0denough's double.
In the eighth G. ONeill batted double
to right and scored on Dungan's single.
