PARROIT'S PITCHING.
It Was Too Much For the Garden City
Youths.
And Backed by Superb Fielding, the
Senator's Succeed in whitewash-
ing Their Opponents.

How twas that the Sacramentos gave
the San Jose team such a drubbing as
they cid yesterday was mystery to all
who did not witness the battle. Each
team made seven base hits, and San Jose
made but one more error than the home
team, yet the score was to 0 in favor OF
the Senators.
without having seen the game the
sharpest ball crank would find himself
confronted by worse than a gem puzzle
IN an effort to comprehend how
the contest could possibly result as it did.
But five to nothing was the score, just
the same, and the way the Sacramentos
made it so can be easily explained.
In the first place, the tall, slender and
wiry Parrot was in the box for the Sac
ramento aggregation, and the way he
swung his arms, kicked his legs, and
shot the ball over the plate must have
had tendency to make the San Jose bat
ters cross-eyed for the time being. Such
big men and heavy 'Stickers" as Dooley,
Ebright, Everett and Stallings appeared
bewildered, and not little bit disguised,
at their frantic and futile efforts to hit
the ball.
McVey and McGucken were the only
men in the team who appeared to have
any nerve when at bat, but they could
not make their hits at opportune times.
In fact, the San Jose batters could do no
punching at all, and as the tielders Of the
home team were on the alert for every
little ground-drive or bunt, there was no
opportunity for the visitors to make a
run. By making two hits in the ninth
inning they came near doing SO, but
prompt infield work succeeded in pre-
venting a rIlnnpr from CoOriOU
SO much for the San Jose team, as to
how they were ''whitewashed." 1t re-
mains to be shown how the Senators
gained their five tallies. Those who saw
the game must admit that the home team
had nearly all the luck on its side. They
hit well when they needed hits. and the
san Jose players were unfortunate
enough to make their few misplays at the
wrong time. The home club made two
runs in the second inning and three in the
seventh, and it was in these two innings
thatsiX out of their total of seven hits were
knocked out.
In the second inning Reitz led off with
hit, and a passed ball by Stallings gave
him the second bag. A sacrifice hit by
McGuirk brought him to the third cor
ner, and hard hit by Hustin scored him.
McHale followed Hustin's suit. and
Roberts took first base on four balls. A
scientific bunt by Parrott toward the ini-
tial cushion scored Hustin
The seventh inning found the Sacra-
mentos hitting the ball safe again. Par
rott led off with two-bagger, and Ward
who had been tantalizing Lookabaugh
at the bat by bunting fouls in all direc-
tions-suddenly smashed the ball hard.
and Parrott scored easily.
Even after the ball was fielded, and a
group OF the San Jose players We're stand
ing near the pitchers box engaged in a
dispute, Ward ran down to second base
amid hearty laughter from the spectators.
lie went TO third base on a sacrifice hit
and made run when Spies hit the bail
TO Ebright Before throwing the ball to
Dooley-to shut Spies offat first-Ebright
made a feint at Ward, bnt was unable to
scare him, and the moment he lined the
bail over to Dooley Ward started for
home. Dooley, in his excitement and
anxiety to get the ball back to Stallings
at the plate, muffed it, and Spies was
safe. He cleverly stole second base, and a
hit by Reitz placed him on third. Then
on the throw-down by Stallings to head
of ReitZ, Spies scored, making the fifth
run.
Both teams gave exhibitions of clever
iniield and outtield work. That of Nc
Ney and Roberts was notably excellent.
Both players made remarkable catches.
Following is the score:
