start and the cranks in the grand stand
were given plenty of opportunities
Ior exercising their vocal organs.
Lookabaugh and SWEET constituted the
battery for the Sacramentos and their
work was perfection. The former has
been plcthing phenomenal ball this sea-
son, and with man like Harper to
change with thereIshould be no reason
why the local nine should not be the
strongest in the league, as there is no
weak timber in it. Young McGreevy
pitched again for San Francisco, and
demonstrated again that he is good one.
Neither side scored in the first inning,
but in the second the visitors captured
two runs in this way: Carroll made a
safe hit to right. McGuire and Powers
went out on fly balls. Then Ebright
raped out nice single, which sent Car
roll around to third. Spies was safe on
bad throw to first, and Carroll and
Ebright scored on the same misplay.
McGreevy retired the side by flying to
Mannasau.
Sacramento made run in the third.
After SWEET had gone out on fly. Looka-
Daugh dropped safe one in the center
garden, and Mannasau followed with a
base on balls. Sweeney then hit sharp
one TO center, bringing in Lookabaugh.
sweeney and Mannasau astonished the
visitors by executing daring double
steal. Mannasau made a dash for home
on Whitehead's little hit, but was put out
at the plate. Klopf's effort was little
gronnder, which McGreevy tossed over
to hrst ahead of him. San Francisco
could do nothing in this inning.
Neither side Tailed in the fourth.
1t was in the fifth inning that the Sacra-
mentos gave their exhibition of pyro-
technics. Lookabaugh went to first on
balls. Mannasau connected with the ball.

Sweeney hit to Ebright, and was safe on
the latter's tumble, while Lookabaugh
went to third. Then the San Francisco
pitcher tried to catch Sweeney mapping at
hrst, but threw the ball into the grand
stand, and Lookabaugh scored. Sweeney
wanted to advance on the blunder. too
but in his anxiety to get oft of first got
his legs tangled up and fell upon the bag,
and had to stay there. The crowd laughed
heartily at his misfortune. Peter evened
matters moment later by making one of
the most daring slides to second ever
seen, and dashlng across the plate i'm
medlately atterward on Whitehead's hit.
hlopf hit to Ebright and was thrown
out. Then modest little Bob McHale
stepped up to the plate. Bob has been
doing some phenomenal batting this sea-
son, and although a delight, it was no
surprise to the spectators this time when
he lined the ball down to the back fence
Tor three cushions and brought in White
head. Roberts retired the side by fouling
to Ebright.
Each team captured two in the sixth.
One OF Sacramento's was a dazzling home
run hit over the right field fence by Man
nassau.
There was considerable anxiety on the
part of the admirers of the home team
when the visitors went in to bat in the
seventh inning-the famous lucky sew
enth," i'll which the San Franciscos' vic
tories are generally consummated. But
the best they could do was one run. 1t
was no fault of theirs, though that they
cldn't make more. Their luck was with
them, but the pitching of Look abaugb,
ana the cleverness of the Sacramento
ileld was what prevented disastrous
bunch of hits.
In the eighth the visitors put a damper
on the crowd by getting another run,
which tied the score.
Just our luck" exclaimed a disguised
crank who occupied reserved seat on
the fence. And things did look pretty
blue, too. But here was where Senator
Pete Sweeney swooped down upon the
enemy and wrested victory from defeat.
IL was the last inning. Peter pulled his
cap down upon his nose, took hitch at.

faced pitcher McGreevy with a sort Of
come on, Macdutf," expression upon his
classical countenance. Macduff was sorry
atterward that he accepted the challenge.
The ball sailed up as big as u balloon and
Peter gave it horrible swipe," as the
boy who viewed the game from the
nights of a telegraph pole afterwards de-
scribed it. Well, that settled the game.
for Peter didn't stop running until he
had made complete circuit OF the bases.
The visitors We're too broken up to do any
good work IN their half of the inning and
