The Sacramento team yesterday won its first
| game this season on the Haight. street grounds.
and although the home players opposed the Sen.
ators the majority of the spectators were pleased
| to see the victory go as 1t did. 1t was case Of
| symparhizing with the under party in the fight,
and the crowd yelled with delight when the tall
/ enders took the lead. Hard hitting, however,
did not give the game to the visitors. They sell
dom found Lookabaugh's curves safely and
earned only one OF their seven runs. Their
fielding was better than that Of the Frscos,
although the latter have Two errors less, and the
work of the team was OF avery high order.
Reitz, the young second baseman of the nine,
showed a wonderful talent for blocking every
thing that came near his cushion, and In one in-
stance stopped hit within fifteen feet OF first
base. The ball was too hot for him 10 hold and
the batter reached first, but the s'block'' pre-
vented a run from being scored. The style in
which he handled the catcner's throwing was
simply faulless. When steal Was attempted
Reltz ran down to the base, secured the ball as
1t Travelled toward center, and then with quick,
graceful motion brought it down lightly the
runner. -Four times did this scene occur and
before the cloud of dust around the bag had
cleared away the stentOrian toned umpire called
"YOu're out" And Sheridan yelled i'll such an
there was no chance for "kck."
Bowman's throwing was splendid. He would
have preferred to play on tie bench yesterday
on account Of Illness but acceded to the wish of
his manager and went behind the baI He has a
deceptive way Of putting the ball down to Sec
ond. There appears TO be little force in the i'm
petus he gives the ball and it seems TO get
through space slowly, yet all the time the sphere
goes at rapid rate. Two base-runners we're
fooled yesterday after getting a good start on
The ball, and endeavored when too late, to make
up for time lost in checking their pace on the
paths.
Zegler pitched four innings and was hit so
hard that he decided to give way TO Harper, who
held down the other side to One run. Daley's
throwing was again untertaD, and twlce after
making good stops he helded poorly to first.
The home nine played an eIrorless game until
the nth inning, when their wretched work, IN
addition TO d few Sac amento hits, gave The con-
lest to the interior men. Sweeney ana Levy did
some heaYy Dating, the latter acIng out II clean
pretty three Dagger to right field. Ebright was
right at home on ground-bits, and his throwing
was swift and sure. His error was IiieE of a
fly TO deep short.
The contest became exciting In the ninth
inning, when the San FranclscOs had only TO
secure one run TO tie the score. With one man
out Ebright had reached hrst on Godar's error
aud IL seemed possible for him to score, as there
were heavy hltters behind him. Speer was next
10 Dat and drove the ball on line 10 center.
| The crowd yelled. They wanted the extra in
nag, LINZ anu an EDIigna was spLinttng around the da.
| not touch ground. GoOdenOugh came in ON
| run and made a seemingly impossible catch and
before Ebright could comprehend that the ball
had been captured he was doubled up at first.
In the first inning Shea hit to Daley, who
threw low aud Joe took second on Stapleton's
error He went TO third Oh Sweeney's sacrifice
and scored on Hanley's single 10 center. Haney
