The nobby Senators came down in blaze
of glory yesterday, accompanied by $50 ex-
cursioniSts and the Sacramento Hussar
Band of twenty-five pieces.
Last night the train, excursionists and the
band returned 10 their homes in the Capital
City with saddened hearts for the prospective
pennant winners had been badly beaten.
Fully 10000 people rose in their seats and
gave the team a most stirring reception as
they marched on the field, preceded by the
band at the head of which was Jim Hall,
the celebrated cOlored drum major.
They presented a magnificent appearance
in their white jersey suits and were counted
sure winners, the sports having difficulty in
layings bets of 10 to on them.
a great deal of dependence was placed in
their pither kilrOy, who ha been reserved
all week so as to be in fine condition for the
worked mapped out for him. But the dusky
little twirler struck an unexpected snag
when he faced the Colonies in the first
inning and after the third he gave way to
Hoffnan.-
Holman did well for just one inning, but
he WAS berry" in the fifth and sixth, and
then Reltz took his place, being but slight
Improvement on either of his predecessors.
The changes in the pitchers altered the
positions of the other players considerably,
and this. together with the loss of Captain
Stapleton, who was badly injured by Doc
ley's brutal act, had a most demOraliZiDg
effect on their generally clever team work.
Dooley's drspicable act occurred in the
first inning, when he was running down the
first base line after hitting to Cedar, who
had him thrown out at least six or eight feet.
Stapleton was In STOPPING position, just
recovering from receiving the ball and Doc
ley, for no evident reason than to prevent
Stapleton completing a play to third, de-
liberately jumped into HIN with full force,
driving his knee into the Sacramento cap
tain's side below the ribs and knocking him
TO the ground, where he lay for several min
utes suffering great agony. As soon as he
was able to walk lie LETT the field and D0oley
received a storm of Kisses from the audience
but smile Of approval from his Captain,
ONeil, on tile bench.
The Colonies team presented a most
agreeable change at third. Tip ONel,
who refused to pay the fine IMPOSED on him
by the league, did not figure in the game,
and as a consequence there were fewe err
rors accre lifted in the Oakland score.
Fred Lange, who in former seasons
played with the Greeuh0Ods and Kansas
Citys, and who has always been prime la
yorlte, emerged after a retirement of almost
two years from active service, and put up a
splendid aud highly appreciated game at the
difficult corner.
The Oakland team played a strong game
in all departments. Their hitting was SIM
ply tremendous, their fielding urisk and
clever, and their work on the paths skillful
and daring.
CantilIion's phenomenal one-hand catch
way into right field in the fourth inning
was undoubtedly the most sensational short
field catch ever made on the grounds, and
for fully five minutes the audience forgot
their antipathy TO the pugnacious, earnest
little player and cheered him most
yociferOuSly.
Jim Mcdonald also played brilliant
game at short. accepting eight difficult
chances, and DAILY. Cedar and ReitZ gave
good exhibition of their respective positions.
The spidery Cobb pitched winning ball
all through, the Senators scarcely touching
him except in the fifth and sixth innings.
Lehman received his delivery perfectly and
threw like shot to bases.
Mcdonald and Lehman captured the bat
ting honors, each making TOUR pretty safe
drives. The work of Bowman, Sweeney,
CaHtlIlion, DUNCAN and Dooley with the bat
was also powerful and effective. The score:
