There were few holes In the fielding front the
home team put up In opposition TO the Sacra-
mentO nine yesterday but The largest was In CEN
ter field Hanley has always been reliable man
since be was removed from the bases to outer
territory but yesterday he made mess of his
playing. He was all right when fly balls were
batted to him and made four neat running
catches but he was unable 10 stop ground ball.
His two errors were responsible for half the runs
made BY the gentlemen from the legislative city.
In each case the ball rolled almost down TO the
club house and scoring resulted. But
Mr. Haaey was not the only man who
had the blunder fit Ebrignt was in
the error business too and had company in
Buchan, Shea and Levy, all of whom slipped up
on easy chances, the last named dropping fly
ball. Reub, however pulled down three dltiicult
high f1iers. Stevens was somewhat awkward in
his throwing and failed 10 shut of couple of
steals, although having excellent opportunities
to do so.
Young's pitching was all right except tn at his
control of the bail might have been better. Had
his support been OF a superior character than
that rendered by his side the score would have
been closer AT the least. Ii had but six safe hits
charged against his record, three OF them being
made by GOdar and Two by Bowman. The bal
ance of The visitors could not do much with the
Los Angeles mans delivery.
Hoffman, the new Sacramento pitcher, made
his first appearance in this city. He Is strong
athletic young tell0W VINO mas c0nSlQeraDle SptSu
but few curves. The ball he principally uses is
an 'out-drop," and he depends great deal on
his swiftDess to prevent safe hitting. His pitch
ing served 10 cOntiIm The statements regarding
him made by the Sacramento papers. He Is
simply good average twirler, who needs
strong team behind him 10 win games. The
Frscos did not gauge his delivery during the
early innings, but hegan 10 hit him hard as the
game progressed. The trouble with The houa
team was that ibey could not bunch their hits
often enough, but they earned their three runs.
EOrigllt ana Shea hit heavily, the former getting
two singles and double and The latter TWO
doubles.
The Senators played perfect ball, not one error
marring theiT work, and the battery department
did not have a wild pitch or passed ball Their

and Daley made several pretty plays, cut Tie
finest work of The day was performed by young
McHale In right field. lie robbed the Erscos OF
two base hits, aud after taking III one di1cuit ny
ball doubled up a runner at first base.
Charley Gagus dad the umpiring. His deci-
sOns aid not please the audience on one OF Two
occasions, but he was right IN every Instance,
and his Judgment on balls aud strikes was very
good. lie was a little slow in announcing some
stfiaes, but ON the whole he performed his duties
we'll. He refused TO be imposed upon by the
players and there was no Kicking. President
None need not look further than Gagus for an
efficient permanent teld officer.
