BASEBALL GOSSIP.
The Sacramentos Fitted Out With
New Uniforms.
Hoover Given His Walking Papers
Spies and Peoples Somewhat Dis
abled-This Weeks Games.

Interest in baseball matters seems for
time to subside and then to increase in
this city as the time for an exhibition at
the ball park draws near. The schedule
was arranged in such thoughtless man
ner, as far as the dates of San Jose
and Sacramento are concerned, that
the people in the outside cities can only
see games once every two weeks. Over
week has passed since the Sacramento
Club played here, but the schedule shows
that contests are billed for Sacramento on
next Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and
the public will wait patiently for them.
The San Franciscos and Sacramentos will
be the contesting clubs in all three games,
and every one of the contests ought to be
good ones.
Hoover has been given his release by
the Sacramento management, because he
was considered of no use to the team.
He has not been able to play ball for a
long time,' said Mr.. GinSberg to a
RECORD UNION reporter yesterday, land
we do not propose to pay men for doing
nothing. Besides we believe and know
that Hoover is not conducting himself as
he should. and we don't want him as
long as he cannot find better associates
than he seeks. His arm is in no condi-
ton to do throwing, and he was not try
ing very hard either to get it in shape.'
Hoover's place will not be filled right
away. McCloskey thought of getting
Stanley, formerly of the Fresno team,
but now playing in the Northern league,
but Stanley says he has a good position
and prefers to remain where he is. Levy,
the first baseman of the Santa Rosa Club,
was asked his terms for doing back
stop work. He answered $50 per
! month, and Mr.. Ginsberg does not think
he is worth it.
Spies will hold his own with any catcher
in the league, but if he is disabled there is
nobody else in the team to take his place.
At present he has a badly swollen thumb,
but he expects that it will be in condition
in time for him to catch this week.
Peoples right hand, between the
thumb and first finger, was split by the
ball last week, but it will not prevent him
from holding down his position at short.
Next Sunday the Sacramentos will ap-
pear in new uniforms, which are by far
the handsomest in the league. They are
of light gray-colored material, and the
trimmings, stockings, belts, caps and
neckties are bright blue in color. The
uniforms were made by Spaulding Bros.
Of Chicago, and cost $500. The pants are
thickly padded tor sliding.
Manager Ginsberg, in answer to di-
rect question as to whether or not the
club was doing paying business this
year, said yesterday that it was, and that
he would have no cause to complain if the
games throughout the remainder of the
season are as well patronized as they have
| been in the past.

HANDBALL TOURNAMENT.
Another Batch of Good Games La
Night

Night.
The handball tournament was resumed
at the gymnasium of the Sacramento
Athletic Club last evening before quite
large audience of ladies and gentlemen.
Several Of the contests were quite spirited,
and as whole the series was one of the
best that has been played.
The first game scheduled was for Blair
and Scheld VS.. f. Yoerk and Mansfield.
Mansfield was unavoidably absent, and
Charles Phillips was substituted in his
place. Blair and Scheld won the game by
score of 2l to 10. The same teams then
played again, and this time york and
Phillips turned the tables on their oppo-
nents, winning by score of q to 6.
q. 4oerk and McClatchy were then
pitted against Kay and German. and thew
played two rattling games. Yoerk and
McClatchy had heretofore been terrors to
all their competitors, but last night they
were somewhat 'off' in their PLAYING
and fell victims to Kay and German in
both games. The score of the first was
q to and the second 21 to I.
Kay and German then played Blair and
Scheld one game and won it by a score of
q to 2.
F. Yoerk and Phillips played G. york
and McClatchy one game, and the latter
team won, the score being q to IL.
