MATTE GOING THE ROUNDS

There was just one inning in yesterdays g
game of ball at Haight street when the
Stockton team made tallies. During the
other eight innings they were making the
spectators tired.
Just why the Stockton players put up
such a game as they did yesterday would
be hard to say. Perhaps when they get
away from that Stockton hotel, where they
get pie once a week and gravy on their
potatoes every other day, their appetite
gets the better of their judgment and they
overload their stomachs.
Yesterday they played like lot of stall
fed steers let out to pasture for the first
time in six months.

Ties his hand in bandage. Pop put in
his time yesterday taking tickets at the
gate and explaining how it happened. he
says he will never play with gun again
unless he is certain that it is loaded to the
muizle and full cooked. He has taken all
the chances with firearms that he is
going to. That last statement will not
stand very thorough analysis, by
the way.
Speer contributed his quota of the errors
that Stockton made yesterday, but there
were some other yer fragrant ones be-
sides those he made. Whitehead, who is
generally as reliable as old cheese, made
some errors during the game that were
atrocious. And Peoples was also on the
list.
flaming pitched the game for Stockton
and BalsZ for San Francisco. Balsz had
decidedly the best of ii. The long runs
were all off Fanning'S delivery except one.
and Balsz struck out double the number
of men he did.
Some features of the field playing were
long-running catches by Mannasau and
Levy. fine catch by Speer and two pretty
double plays by the home talent.
The audience took very kindly to the
um mpiring of Mr.. Donshue. Not a single
opportunity was found for objections to
his decisions.
An indication of the Inferior playing of
the Stockton team, as compared with that
of Henry's men, is found from the fact that
from ten hits the home team received four
teen runs, while Stockton with a total of
eight raps only made two runs.
The easiest tally made was Sharp's, in
the first inning. After base on balls he
stole second and came home on single
by Reuben Levy.

in on Baisz' single. Spies went to third
on Balsz' hit, and in on little ground hit by
Sharp that resulted in a confused sort of
play by several Stockton men, and that
was all. Sharp stole second, and came in
on an error by Pete Sweeney-one OF those
large costly errors that consist in letting
the ball get away over in the corner of the
lot when it ought to have put man out
instead.
Neither side made hit nor run in the
third. and the first half of the fourth was
fruitless for San Francisco. while Stockton
utilized the last half for tally-making pur-
poses to the extent of couple.
% Sweeney was first on base on balls,
when Balsz sent the ball wild past the
first baseman. That let Sweeney to third,

That was all Stockton ever did worth
mentioning. Nearly every inning was
productive of hit, but the hits came
singlY and counted for naught.
just TO cllnch the victory and make il
the aiT-tight cinch that it was, San Fran
cisco gathered out bunch of seven talies
IN the eighth inning, and then another in
spectators-nOthing else.
So the score ended IA to in favor of
San Francisco. Manager Moore wasn't
here to see 1t. and perhaps it's just as
well.
Manager Moore is now at Sacrament to
making the final arrangements for trans
terring the Stockton team to the capital
city at the commencement of the second
season, which will be on July 6.
There seems to be no doubt but that the
change will be made. Moore and Fred
Roberts, one of his players. who has
played ball in Sacramento before, have
been in Sacramento nearly a week look
ing over the situation.
On Tuesday Snowflake Park was se
cured and portion of the rent money
paid down on it.
The league virtually agreed that Sacra-
mento should be allowed TO name the vice
president OF the league and that the per-
son named should have the appointing of
one of the umpires.
To-day the game will 5e played ct Pied
mont between Stockton and San Fran
cisco. San Francisco will try Matte
McVickers at the twirling. Matte is 90
Ing the rounds, just like Joe Cantillon.
He has already played with Stockton and
Los Angeles, and now Henry lugs him
into the game.
Yesterdays scora was as foIiows.
