1t Required Ten Innings to Settle the
Second Game

1t Required Ten Innings to Settle the
Second Game.
After the players had rested for half an
hour the second contest began, and it was
the most exciting game of ball that has
been played this season. 1t was strug-
gle that made men who never before
knew what it was to get aroused at ball
game jump out of their seats and veil
like Indians.
The San Jose team had not known
what it was to lose three games out of a
series of five, and when McCloskey's
men took the first one it rather surprised
them, but they did not think it possible
that they could suffer another defeat in
one day. Both clubs commenced the sec
ond game with determination. Hoffman
and Harper were selected to do the box
work, and Spies and Stallings to receive
them.
Several blunders had been made bv
both sides by the end of the fifth inning
and the score stood 2 to in favor Of the
Sacramentos.
The hearts of the local enthusiasts sank
in the next inning, however, when San
Jose commenced to put men on the bases.
Peoples muffed Hanley's fly and the batter
was safe on first base. Then Ebright. the
German captain of Manager Finn's team,
eorked out athree-bagger, scoring Hanley
Dooley followed with a long fiy 70 Nc
Closkey, and Ebright crossed the plate
starting from third base after the bali
had been caught.
Two runs were recorded and San Jose
was in the lead by a score of 3 to-
The seventh and eighth innings passed
without either team adding to its score.
Matters looked exceedingly dubious for
the Sacramentos when the last inning

Hoffman, truly hoisted the ball over
McGucken's head for three bases. In
stead of the usual three watts and out,
Hoffman had hit the ball, and right hard,
too. Then the shouting commenced, and
the crowd knowing how Harper can be
rattaed by the grand stand, kept up its
noise. Canes were raped on the floor,
there was stamping of feet, and general
confusion ensued.
Hutchinson, the next batter, hit to
Everett, who threw him out at first base
and Holman was still on the third cor
ner. Then Peoples, whom the team
always rely upon in pinch, bunted one
OF ms Brounders toward first base and
was put out, but his sacrifice hit enabled
holman TO score, amid great cheering
And the score was tied.
The audience was satisfied with this,
but when sunday knocked out hit and
McGucken tailed to stop it, another wild
shout went up. Before the ball was
fielded Sunday was on third base. and

Harper pitched, and knocked out a clean

Mc9loskey retired the side by making a
short hit, which was felded.

home team one run in the lead, but San

It Was Decidedly Hot About This
Date One Year Ago.
aThe Signal Service report show the
highest and lowest temperatures yester-
day to have been 790 and 500, as against
94o and $50 on the same day last year.
The highest and lowest temperature
one year ago to-day was 9Oo and 65O.
The records show that the warm
weather last year did not set in before
June 18th, when it was what Sacramento
people call hot (940), although there were
about three days in May of last year
when the temperature reached from 9Oo
to 92o.
From present prospects we may look
for cloudless skies and warmer days,
with pleasant and agreeable nights.

Closkey at the bat. He drove the ball
out to McGucken, who muffed and
allowed the runner to reach third base.
Spies sacrifice hit to McVey enabled
him to score, and it proved to be the win
ming run, San Jose falling to place man
on the bases in their turn at the bat.
The Sacramentos won the game amid
intense excitement, and many persons in
the audience sought Hoffman to shake
his hand and congratulate him for his
steadiness during the game.
McCloskey made two grand-stand
catches, and Works also did some phe-
nomenal work in the left garden.
McGuirk was a tower of strength on
first base, and the way he scooped the
,pick-ups brought forth cheers from the
spectators. Following is the score:

bcne prints the following as coming from

this vicinity:
I'VE bought the road and stocked it in
Chicago, believing, as We were assured.
that it was good investment. We never
asked what Mr. Holmes paid for it, but
We now think we paid too much. For
nearly two years it paid eight per cent,
but question if il ever earned it The
road was in bad shspe-in fact, little
more than . wreck-when we bought it,
and 1t soOR became necessary to rersil the
entire line and equip it anew throughout.
To do this and make some extensions
which were not profitable, but which had
to be done TO ward of competition. we
spent $500. GOO. We have added twelve
or more miles to the original purch sse. so

some time after We bought the road, and
although | do not regard his report as
altogether conclusive it was to the effect
that the road never earned more than four
per cent on the stock. l myself think it
never earned more than five per cent"
Has it paid any dividends lstely?"
20, no. On the contrary we were
called upon to assess ourselves, which We
did rather than borrow money. to perfect
and keep the road in operation. But it
is now paving operating expenses and
making little money, and to further in
crease its facilities we are now putting in
an electric plant which will cost about
$3.50, 00U more. When that is completed
We think the revenue of the road will be
materially increased. But we are not
looking for any dividends just yet. If
we knew as much then SIS we do now we
would not have gone into MIR. Holmes
scheme. We went into Il blindly, and
DOW We ara trying 10 pull through with

Be the opinions of the Chicago associ
