BEESIE is
HIMSELF AGAIN.
lie and His Partner Once More
in the Game of Ball.
They Braced Up and Handled the Colonies as
in the Days of Yore-Usual
Games To-Day

Stock in the new baseball concern took a
jump yesterday equal to the recent boom in
wheat. 1t is away above par now, and
Messrs McCloskey and McGuirk are receiv-
ing the congratulations of their many
friends. They are also thinking of placing
a few blocks Of the stock on the market
Oakland ran up against Snag when they
struck the combination second time and
found much rougber sailing than on the
previous day. One limp bedraggled tally
was the best the Coloneps men could do,
while Sacramento captured five. 1t was a
brilliant game throughout, and if Sacramento
keeps up its lick it would soon be able to
snow the New Yorks under, perhaps.
There was more people and less noise in
attendance than at Fridays game Tip
O'Nel was strangely silent along toward
the last of the game. but McGuirk recov-
cred the use of his voice and danced jig to
his own chin music. The performance
fairly sparkled with brilliant plays on both
sides, all of which received due RECOGNITION
from the grand stand. Everybody was
pleased to see the Senators win.
HASSAMER's GREAT CATCH.
Oakland had the first go at bat, and they
lasted about three minutes. Hank Spies
settled the first man, and Bill Hassamer
was instrumental in quieting the other two
on neat assist and difficult running fly
above his head, but Bill unlocked about
seven links, shot up in the air and pulled
the bali down with one hand. Applause.
This suspicious opening greatly encouraged
old nan Hoffman, who pulls the throttle on a
Rocky Mountain MOgul during the winter
months and pitches ball for Sacramento in
the summer time. So he moistened his
palms, donned gala day smile and came
near shutting the Colonies out. Five scat
tering hits was the best they could do with
old man Hoffman.
With an inield made up of McGuirk.
Reynolds, Hassamer and Britain, the Sena-
tors were well-nigh invincIble. Briltan's
error in the third gave the Colonies their
only run. With one man out Cantillion
poked tall fly into the heavens, which
came down near third. McGuirk yelled for
Hoffman,, but changed off for Britain. Has
Samer also mixed up in it, and the result of
the combination was that Britain missed
the ball. The runner scored on a sacrifice
and an error by AlcGuirk.
REYNOLDS FOOLED THE CAPTAIN.
Sacramento secured its first run in the
third, when Spies got away on a single,
reached second on a sacrifice and scored on
wild pitch, which broke away from Phe-
nomenal BalSz- No more runs came in until
the sixth, when Hassamer made the circuit
on 1oungman's error and Hoffman'S deep
urlFe 10 IiBnl. A DeauJlIul caGcN by dunkey
Hines in the fifth prevented run. There
were two men out and a runner on third
when McCloskey sent long fly to left, which
Hines plucked while going at full speed.
Sacramento PLAYED Mr.. Reynolds of Den
yer at second in place of O'Day, who split
his finger. Mr.. Reynolds is out this way
for his health, but consented to play little
ball to help the firm out He played great
deal of ball in short space of time and
scored the only double play in the game.
With Long on third and O'Neil at second,
Cantiilion sent rainbow fly to short right
O'Neil thought it was hit and sprinted
on to third. but Reynolds got under the ball
and doubled O'Neil at second before he
could return to place of safety.
With one run in their favor the Senators
made march in the seventh and rolled in
three tallies Two hits and base on balls
filed the bags. Then Balsz got wild and
forced in two runs ana Reynolds sacrificed
the third man across the plate. Balsz
pitched fair game, but was hit hard,
though he kept them well scattered. He
was we'll supported, but the Senators were
out for a victory and nothing could stop
them. The same teams play this afternoon
at Haight street Following is the score:
FRANCISCO, AUGUST 10 1881.
