Of Five Games Standing Of the Clubs to

Two games in enc day, with nothing but
a ferry-bogt lunch by way of intermiSSion,
was tolerably heavy load 10 saddle mold
Man Hoffman. 1t was not his fault that he
did not win them both. He pitched good
enough ball in each. but couple of bits of
reckless Iase-runninG in the afternoon left
the Senator. one tally short. Score, 7 to 6.
The morning game was what coarse people
would speak of as a cuckoo, whatever that
Is, and it,would require the inspired genius
of man who writes descriptive articles Tor
circus posters TO do it ample Justice. Frisco
played an errorless game in the field, and
also at the plate. 1t was q shutout, but
there was no one present to see 1t except the
official scorer, and he was there under pro-
test. In the afternoon the usual Sunday
crowd turned out at Haight street and saw
game not quite so good, but 1t was good
enough.
Owing to circumstances over which he
had no control, McCioskey was compelled
to hitch Mr.. Hoffman up twice the same day.
For the benefit of those Who were not pres
ent at Saturdays game it may be well to
state that the circumstances over which
McCloskey had no control was the delivery
of his other pitchers. Hence the necessity

which he will doubtless be suitably re-
warded with an extra meal ticket, when
these lice Dses TO live are again dealt out to
the Senators.
Only once did the game show an incii ma
ton to bag at the knees and that was IN the
second inning, when Hurts men TO und a
favorable opening for their cudgels. I ired
MI II Gilman eascd down slightly in his
work, a nd the locals saluted him with four
hits. These with errors b. the two B ills
Hassamer and Goodenough-resulted In
five runs. This gave the home team lead
which they held to the end in contest that
proved more in teresting than the start would
seem to indicate.
TWO HARDWORKlNG SENATORS.
A curious feature of the affair is that Nc
Hale and Roberts scored all the Senator'S
runs each bringing In thrse. Had the other
seven men in the team been as industri GUS
as these two there is no telling how the
game would have ended, But somehow
they didn't seem to take hold. 1t was not
until the fifth inning that MCHala a nd Rob-
erts completed their first circuit. In tie
next they made the rounds again and in the
eighth the last lap was completed
After their five TALES in the second Frisco
missed an inning but in the fourth SWEET
and Sharp singled and scored on ReltZ
failure to provide resting place for SNee-
news grounder. During the remaining in
nings the action was brisk. the Locals stcur-
ing but three scattering singles off Mr.. Eoff-
man. They were twice retired on doubles,
in which Mcssrs. Reynolds, Hoffman and
McGuirk were prominent figures.
Seven hits were made of Cobb. but the
hitieIs did not make as much oil their talents
as they might. 1t was not until the fifth
that they scared up the first tNo hits. In
the next Reynolds led of with triple, but
the drive was wasted when he tried TO score
on McHae's grounder to Smith, and was
easily thrown out at the plate. McHale
opened the eighth with q double to right,
AMI scored on Roberts single. CartrwighHs
miss Of grounder back of first enabled the
latter to cross the plate.
A regular scheduled game viii be played
to-day at the Haight-street grounds be-
tween the Senators and the Colonies. Play
will be called at 2 80 o'clock, and hereafter
all games will be started at that hour.
Burchers is booked to pitch for the COlonels.

the tal-endeTs,
Following is the score:
