FOURTEEN TO NINE.
Such Was the Score in Yesterdays
Ball Game.
The Suisuns Again Victorious - The
Valley League is Putting Up
First-C1ass Ball.

Notwithstanding the cool weather yes
terday, there was large attendance at
Agricultural Park to witness the game
between the Scott Il Gilberts of this city
and the Suisun Club. The latter had de-
feated every amateur club of note in the
State, and it was expected that the home
team would give them close game,
which it did. The visiting club is COM
posed of a sturdy lot of youngsters, all
Suisun boys, with the exception of Hill,
who formerly played with the Oalllands,
and have team work down to nicely.
Such backing up and coaching has not
been seen in Sacramento before.
Messrs. Scott 81 Gilbert have been
strengthening their team, and have
signed Russell Pace, the young catcher
who played with the San Francisco team
in the early part of the season. Pace
caught a fine game yesterday, and lined
out three hard drives, one tWO-bagger.
His throwing was strong, but inaccurate,
as he could not get the gauge of the wind.
eraser, another new man, had
nothing to do in the field, but lined out
two beautiful singles. Harvey Warren
plays good second, and Will strengthen
the.team in hitting. HIS main fault yes
terday was in holding the ball too long
before throwing, thereby failing to make
his play.
Hapeman essayed to pitch for the
locals, but had TO retire in the second
inning, on account of sickness. Shana-
han finished the game, and held the visit
ors down 10 eight hits in seven innings.
In IiIlman and Larkin the Suisuu
Club have a battery that they should be
proud Of. Larkin is the best catcher out
side OF the big league, and is great deal
better than many in ii. He is an accu-
rate Hne-thrower, and a fine batter.
IlIlman pitched fine game after the
tlrst inning, and kept the hits we'll scat
tered. he has fine curves and great
speed. de is also a fine batter, and
lined out a triple, and double and single,
and stole four bases.
Kelly plays good second, being a
lively, accurate fielder, and a good
stops and throws being something Won
derful.
Owing to the high wind, it was almost
impossible TO judge a ball, and to that
cause great many of the errors were
due.
In the first inning the Scott 81 Gilberts
scored SIX runs on five errors, mostly
NUTS OF hy-balls, and four hits and Il
sacrlnce Most clubs would have been
discouraged at this beginning, but the
visitors Kept pluckily at work, and scored
six runs in the second, tieing the score.
In the last half Of the inning the locals
scored one, which lead they maintained
until the fourth, when the Suisuns scored
four to their one.
The visitors kept the lead to the close,
scoring IA to the home clubs 8.
Clay Chapman umpired strictly i'm
partial game, no fault being found with
any Of his decisions.
Messrs. Scott Il Gilbert have had the
seats covered with canvas, and have gone
to considerable expense to give Sacra-
mento good baseball, and they deserve
to be well patronized. Their club is as
strong as the Suisun Club, which has de-
feated the Vallejo Club, and the Vallejo
Club has beaten the California League
Club more than once. The quality of
ball now being played by the Valley
Baseball League will compare favorably
with that being put up by the big league.
and the games are all played on their
merits.
Following are the scores in yesterdays
game:
