Second Battle.

The 5000 spectators at yesterday after
moons game were not furnished with sci
entife exhibition of the national game, but
they were afforded as much amusement as
II they had been at minstrel show. There
was smuggling galore, laughable errors and a
display of "South-paw" twirling by the ia
vorite of the ndergarten-Reub Levy. The
home team won the game-won 1t without
trouble before the sixth inning had been
reached, and then put Reub in the box to
practice for his games against the Senators
this week. Harris thinks Levy will be able
to handle the left-handed batters of SacIa-
mento and is getting him in trim to pitch.
Stevens, who did the twirling for the
COlOnels in the morning game, again faced
the FrIscns in the second contest, but re-
manned in his position for only TWO innings.
He was given such a drubbing that it was
thought advisable to substitute Garfield.
The latter started out well, preventing the
opposing side from scoring during the third
and fourth innings, but lost control Of his
curves in the fifth. After two batters had

Francis O'Hanlon, blacksmith employed
by the Sutter-street Gable Company, was

was the result of runaway, his horse run

prove otherwise than fatal.
