Were Received With Kisses.

cisco and home teams played an exciting
game at Snowflake Park to-day. When the
visitors made four runs in the first inning

played a great uphill game, and finally
batted out a victory. The large audience

one or two decisions. which it was thought
were off color. and from that time on tho
spectators did some tall "rooting" for the
Senators.
In the fourth inning Sheridan called Cart

began to hiss, Notwithstanding the fact that
the decision was proper. McCloskey also
made howl for fair treatment but no at
tention was paid to him. When the San
Franchises had been retired, ana the Sacra-
mentos were coming to their bench at the
end of the inning McCl0skeY made another
remark to Sh erdan, who fined him $40, and
he increased it to $50, when the Sacramento
captain repeated the remark.
The crowd began to hiss, and Sheridan
noticed the obstreperous colored siogger,
Bill Hall, making himself obnoxious and he
ordered McCloskey to put him oil the
grounds. The latter at first refused, but the
Umpire pulled out his watch and gave him
five minutes to do so. McClOskey saw he
was in danger of losing the game and had
Hall removed from the grounds.

out with Sheridan, but was restrained by
Manager McCloskey.
