THEHTY-oHE TO SIX.
THE SENATORS MAKE A SHOW OF THE
LEAGUE LEADERS.
Poor Pitching and Rank Errors Give
the Home Club Almost
Walk-Oyer.

Yesterdays game was the second rea
leather-chasing contest seen here this
season, the first exhibition of that sort hav'
ing been given about six weeks ago, when
the Stocktons were defeated by score Of
something like 36 to 1. 1t was the Sacra.
mentos' turn, and they changed tactics on
the San Franciscos with vengeance. Up
to the sixth inning the contest was close
and exciting, but in each succeeding in.
ming the home nine hit the ball hard, and
being assisted by the error-making of the
visitors, they increased their score by sew
enteen runs in the last four innings.
The San Francisco infielders would in
vain attempt to stop rapid grounders out
of their reach, and the outielders were in
dulging in foot-racing of very exciting
nature. 1t is but just to say of Young, the
San Francisco pitcher, that he was most
wretchedly supported by his men, only one
PLAYER in his nine having cipher oppo-
site his name IN the error column. Ebright
made three bad plays, Hanley got two err
rOrs, and so did Buchan, while Shea,
Sweeney. Levy and Specr added four more
mispluys to the list At times the errors
made were so inexcusable that there was
good cause for Young to have become dis
gusted.
In both the sixth and seventh innings
the Sacramentos made their runs after two
men were out. In the sixth Harper famed,
and Goodenough went out at first on Eb-
rights assist. Then came some lively hit
ting and error-making, and half dozen
runs were scored before the next man was
put out.
1t was the same in the next inning. After
Bowman had struck out and DAILY Knocked
q fly to Hanley, Stapleton led off with a
hit, and being aided by lively batting of
Reitz. Roberts, McHale and Goodenough,
and the errors of Ebright and Young, they
again increased their score by six points.
The Sacramentos had to use all three
of their pitchers during the contest. Far
rell twirled until the last half of the fourth
inning, when he lost control of the ball and
resigned in favor of Reitz. The latter
pitched for one inning, but was hit so lively
by the San Franciseos that he, too, gave
way, and Harper was placed in the box.
He pitched during the remainder of the
game, Reitz going back to second base, and
Farrell playing on the bench.
Bowman and Rsitz were unlucky yester-
day in not being able to make hit. The
former did fine back-stop work, but should
start in and bat as he used to. He can hit
the ball if he once regains confidence in
himself. and the fact of his having struck
out so often of late should not cause him
to lose heart. Brace up, Bowman, you can
hit the ball.
McHale can hit Young oftener than any
other pitcher. He said the other day
to RECORD UNION reporter that
he could and his work yesterday showed
that he knew what he was talking about.
He hit safely five times, and, if We remem-
Der rightly never had a strike called on
him.
Roberts, Goodenough, Stapleton and Daily
batted hard and effectively. The latter two
each made four bsggers.
Buchan did the most effective work with
the ash for the visitors. Out of three times
to the bat he knocked out two singles and
a double
Sheridan umpired with his usual deliber-
alton and exactness. Following is the
