The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-04-06

A San Jose correspondent says: Owing
TO the races San Jose was filled with visit
ors on Sunday, and MANY of them visited
the ball grounds with the hope of seeing
some Of the league teams play, but were dis
appointed, as the Garden City is an every
other Sunday ball town on the schedule.
Since the opening of the season there has
been a growing feeling in favor of having a
game every Sunday at San Jose, and while
the league teams will not fill the aching
void. it is hoped that a tirst-claSs amateur
league will be abe to meet the demand Tor
Sunday games" With only four cubs in
the league San Jose must be content with
games every other Sunday.
There is considerable talk in Sacramento
about the fielding abilities Of the new home
team. When compared with last seasons
club many maintain that tie present club
is the equal of the old team, while others
think that taken altogether they are bet
ter lot. The new inf-lders are decidedly
superior to those in the old club; and the
outfield, while they may cover little less
ground, are as good thrOWerS and as sure
on f1y-balls as we're last seasons team.
There is deep-sealed prejudice against
the present Sacr mentO Club in the Capital
City, and Manager McCloskey's men are
subjected to a great deal OF unjust criticism
by the cranks of that city. The Senator'S
fine work has won over great many OF The
kickers, and if they keep it up all the cranks
VIII unite IN shouting for them.
Ned Stapietan is evidently not pleased at
being erased from the Sacramento Club
roll. At the opening game when Reitz's
lucky triple won the game for Oakland
Stapleton's voice could be heard above the
cheering: Good boy, Hank. Is that one of
last years players VINO isn't good enough
for you?"'
Albert Eppeline. the genial Secretary of
last years Sacramento Club, is now en-
tirely out of baseball Mr.. Eppeline was
rendered his old position, but declined 1t, AS
he thought the salary was not commensur-
ate with the labor performed. His position
is now being filed by Mr.. Ginsburg's
brother
F. Genrge Zeigler. who organized and man.
aged last seasons Sacramento club. is lying
seriously sick in hotel at New Orleans.
George never fully recovered from severe
cold contracted in the opening game at Sac
ramento last year and it Is feared his all
ment has developed into consumption.
When DOoley reached third base on his
home-run drive at the game al Sacramento
last Thursday he was joined by no less than
six members of his team, who raced him to
the plate, all shouting aud calling upon him
to go faster. When he crossed the plate
they set up hearty cheer for him.
There has been feeling prevailing among
some of the hackers of the San Jose team
that Fogarty was not playing second base
In suitable manner, but when the score OF
Saturdays game at Sacramento reached San
Jose it was noticed that Fogarty lad
''goose-egg" in the error column, and the
few kickers we're silent.
The s. K. Smiths defeated the first nine
of the Normal School at San Jose on Satur-
day by score of to 3. The formers bat
terry, Doyle and 0verton. proved too much
for the Normalites. Fletcher and Moore
did excellent work for the latter, however.
The Oaklands are not in it with Sacra-
mento in making noise this season. Nc.
Guirk and Hutchinson or Ward and Nc
Closkey can give 0'Nel and Cantillon
cards and spades and beat them out
Yesterday was the first time the San
Francisco team won two games in one day
from Oakland.
