A Close Race Between Two of the
Valley League Teams.
Suisun to Try Conclusions With sacra-
mento Again On Sunday-Present
Standing of the Clubs.

There promises TO be a great baseball
game in this city on the 18th, on which
day the Suisun club will meet the Scott
d Gilberts. The game will decide which
shall lead the other in the pennant race.
The home players are positive they can
defeat the visitors, although they have
, been twice defeated by them. They are
all practicing twice day, however, and
it will not be their fault if they do not
win.
The Suisuns are equally anxious to
win, and will run an excursion train
from the salt water city and intermediate
points in Solano County. The club is not
only the pride ofSuisun, but Of the entire
county, and large attendance is ex-
pected.
By losing last Sundays game to Vallejo
the Suisuns dropped in third place, but
are only a few points behind the Scott Il
Gilberts, and should the former win the
coming game it will place them ahead of
the home team.
Gallon and Pace will be the battery for
The scott u GiIDeILs, ard as CaiIeu is III
line trim he expects to keep the visitors
hits Well scattered. Tilghman and Larlzin
Will be in the points for the Suisuns, and
the formers work in the box speaks for
itself.
Ben Hill, an old Sacramento favorite,
is Captain and center fielder of the visit
ors. He is playing better ball now than
he dld with the Oaklands, which is say
| ing great deal, as he put up fine game
with the Colonies.

VALLEY LEAGUE NOTES.
Jack Stafford will not be seen in left
field next Sunday. Charley Robertson
says he remembers Jack playing away
back IN the sixties, and Manager Gilbert
THINKS the old war-hOrse is entitled to a
little rest.
Shanahan is the surest outfielder in the
league. He has the faculty of judging a
hy-ball the moment it is hit, and has not
muffed a fly this season.
Russ Pace is the best semi professional
catcher Sacramento ever had. He is a
splendid thrower and a good batter,
but" says crank, she could not drive
pig. Why? Well, just 60 out to the
next game and see for yourself"
Robert McHaIe has recovered from his
ailment and is back in town.
With Callen and Pace in the points the
nome team has red, white and blue bat
tery-red hair, white uniforms and blue
stockings.
Ed Mcdonald is quiet, gentlemanly
payer, and seldom has much to say.
