Tomorrow the Sacramentos well leave
for Stockton to play ball with the club OF
that city. The same clubs will also play
there on the morning of the Fourth OF
July, and in the afternoon they will play in
this city.
The Oaklands and San Franciscos will
play together at the Haight-street grounds
tomorrow, and on the following day they
will contest in the morning at Oakland and
in the afternoon at San Francisco.
On Saturday and Sunday the Oaklands
and Sacramentos will be pitted against each
other at the Bay.
The rumor that Manager Finn. of the
San Franciscos, was going to resign the
management in favor of Henry Harris,
who is now in Portland, is said to have had
no foundation. The Call is authority for a
statement by Mr.. Finn that he will stay by
his club to the end.
In reference to the recent talk of the
Stockton club being transferred to San
Jose, the Mail of the former place has this
to say THE baseball situation is consid-
erably changed. The Stockton team is be-
coming encouraged by the appreciation
and interest the people manifest and is

the players under the hydra headed man.
agement which they had been subjected to,
and which caused them to lose so many
games. If only they are let alone now and
given half chance, they will crawl rapidly
toward the front. There is nothing that
will inspire a ball-player more than to
know that his work is appreciated, and
now that the public has, in measure,
taken charge of things and expressed de.
sire that the men play good ball, they will
do so. As to the transfer, that will not be
made if the people want the club to stay
here and will subscribe the necessary
amount of money within the next ifteen
days"
Coughlin, the released Chicago pitcher,
will undoubtedly be on the coast in few
days. He will wear San Francisco uni
form. 1t is said that in the very near f1-

third bag for Mr.. Firms team, and White.

ones that are driven between second and
third base.
Goodenough and Shea are about on tie
as regards the greatest number of base
steals.
The men in the Sacramento nine think
the San Francisco audiences the most i'm
partial IN the State. They admit that all
their good plays are duly appreciated. The
Call says: After four months uphill
work, the Senators are to-day in first place,
and San Francisco patrons, with some ex-
ceptlons, are pleased to see them at the
head of the procession. If Frisco cannot
get the penDant the home patrons prefer to
see it GO to the Capital City than to any
other town."
Roxburg, who will be remembered by
Sacramento people, is playing ball in New
York.
The San Franciscos have been dubbed
the "Goblins" on account of the color of
their uniform.
There has been considerable argument
in baseball circles as to whether or not the
Oaklands were ever in the lead. The Col
onels were the leaders just before the game
on May 5th was played in this city between
the Sacramentos and Oaklands. They led
the San Franciscos by few points. The
game in which they were again sent back
to second place was that in which Captain
O'Neill and Umpire Chapman had diff

The San Francisco Breeder and Sportsman,
has this to say of the sacramento's latest
pitcher The Senators have added strength
to their pitching department in Hoffman.
The new pitcher has showed himself to be
a good one, and has yet in reserve few
balls that will be puzzlers. In addition to
good out and drop ball, he is said to pos
sess one that fairly jumps, and which is
most deceiving and effective"
Referring to Bowman, the same paper
says; Bowman, the catcher of the Sacra-
mentos, is a player that is up to date He
is one of the prize gems of that constella-
ton of Senatorial stars, and, clever as the
remainder of the team are, with an inferior
man 4 his position, the Sacramentos
would not occupy the exalted station they
hold to day. Bowman is a player of the
most finished style, knows every point of
the game, never loses his head, and has
wonderful powers of perception. Add to
this his great reach, receiving and throw
ing abilities, and you have thorough back
stop in the fullest meaning of the term.
Bowman is also a strong, reliable hitter, is
speedy on the paths, and tireless as a
coacher. Without being offensive in the
least, he can jolly up his own team land
