ELEVEN TO SEVEN.
And the Scott & GiIberts Downed
the VaIlejos.
A BAH Game That Big League Teams
Would Have Found it
Hard to Beat,

The managers of the Scott 81 Gilbert
Baseball Team were as happy as two new
fathers yesterday, for, after much hard
LABOR, their team succeeded in defeating
the heretofore almost invincible Vallejo
clup. The contest was played before a
large audience and much interest was
manifested. The baseball fever is evil
uehtly catching again, as the crowds are
steadily growing larger, much to the de-
nght OF the managers. The old Santa
Rosa battery, Callen and Pace, officiated
Tor the home club, and, except in the fifth
aiming, Callen pitched a magnificent
game.
In the fifth he was hit for two singles,
a double and home run, which, with
TWO errors and base on balls, melted the
visitors six runs, three being earned.
Callen had fine control and gave but one
base on balls, while ten succumbed to his
deceptive curves. He was we'll supported
by Pace, who did some fine throwing to
bases.
Russ also did some hitting, lining out
three-bagger, with three men on the
passes, double and a single out of five
times up. Ed. Mcdonald, the new
catcher, played shortstop, and put up a
beautiful game, accepting seven hard
chances, two of his stops being on APP
parently safe hits. His backing up of
bases was the best ever seen in this city,
and was an example some of the other
members Of the team should follow
Ills partner, Moody, caught a difficult
ny-ball, and lined out a three Dagger
With two men on bases. Nethercott and
- Mcdonald fielded their positions fault
!essly, while Warren slipped up on a
mud chance.
FarreIl and McGreavy constituted the
battery for the Vallejos, and the latter
was touched up lively toward the close of
the game, the home boys hitting at will.
McGplre, at shortstop, could not throw
little bit. and was responsible for most
OF the runs scored by the home team.
Out OF tive times at bat he struck out four
times, but succeeded in making a home
run when the bases were full and after he
had two strikes called on him.
Sprague, the handsome man of the
team, made beautiful assist from right
field, and retired a runner at first base
DeXtraze and Wise are graceful out
fleIders, and the former a splendid base
runner. "Vesuvius" Levy, probably so
called because he appears dead on his
1eet, plays third nicely, and Andy Smith,
who played first base for the Sacramento
team two years ago, puts up a fine game
at the initial.
Buck" Hughes was encouraged by
his many friends and played nice game
at second.
A PLEASING FEATURE
OF the game was the fine umpiring Of
II. Clay Chapman. Clay had MANY close
decisions to make, and made them to the
satisfaction of all. On balls and strikes
