The first nine batters up for Sacramento
in the fourth inning Of Fridays game made
run. Stapleton reached first on balls and
stole second. Cedar got first Oh balls, and
RelZ's single scored Stapleton. A passed
ball advanced Cedar and Reitz base. Rob
erts reached first on balls. McHale hit for
three bags, driving in the three men on
bases. Harper also reached first ON balls.
Gooden0ugh's single sent McHale across
the plate, and Perrott again filled the bases
by giving Bowman base on balls. Daley
made magnificent drive over Swans head
and easily made the circuit, driving in the
VtucI lulee runners.
Z" How was it that the bows did not get a
hit off Hapeman? was asked of Manager
Zeigler after the game of the 18th. "Why
didn't we get hit? Well we made two or
three, but they were not given to us. Reitz
hit ball away over the right fielder's head,
and made three bases on the drive. 1t was
the cleanest sort of q three bagger, yet
ReitZ was not credited with q hit. In
another Instance one of our players nearly
took leg off of an infielder, and made
first, and the fielder was given an error.
That's why we didn't get any hits"
The Stockton people are unanimous in
saying that Fogarty is the best second base
man in the league, while thelSacramento
cranks are Of the opinion that lReitz is the
boss OF them all. Judging from their recent
work in the Sacramento series, Reitz out
fielded Fogarty. stole the most bases, and
at bat each made the same number of hits.
On thrown balls Reitz is greatly superior to
Fogarty, both in touching the runner and
holding low throws. ReitZ has not made
two errors in one game as yet. His errors
are few and far between.
Last Thursday Pitcher Carsey, while
coming from Oakland to see the game here.
was furnished by Twirler Cobb with some
information concerning the clubs and play
ers of the California League. Cobb told
the newcomer that the Friscos were the
poorest hitteTs in the outfit. That after
noon Carsey sat on the bench and observed
Firms men hammer Meegan for twenty
two safe hits, and Saturday they hit the
new man for thirteen safe shots, including
two doubles. Wonder if Carsey thinks
Cobb told the truth!
Besides winning the pennant there Is a
financial incentive for the Senators to play
good ball. Mr.. Enright has entered into an
agreement with the players that If they
win nine out of the fifteen games played
each month he will increase their salaries
10 per cent for that month. The club has
won nine games during May and the SEN
ators on the first Of June will receive an
extra "wad" in addition to their usual
pay.
