BEATEN IN One INNING.
The Lucky Seventh" Was Too Much
for the SacramentoS.
The San Franciscos Win With Margin
of One Run-Another Great
Game.

IL has been a notorious fact for years
that the baseball team wearing the San
Francisco colors is a terror to the oppos-
ing nine in the seventh inning.
The lucky seventh" the fanatics at the
bay called it, and'it makes no difference
to them if the other nine is ten runs
ahead they always wait for the seventh
inning, confident that Dame Fortune will
cast her usual smile upon Uncle Henry's
aggregation and the latter will win out.
And the predictions Of the cranks have
proved true so often that the opposing
players have learned to look forward
with dread to that awful inning. That
they have good reasons for doing so was
demonstrated again yesterday at Snow
flake Park when the Sacramento team
ran up against san Franciscos lucky
seventh and bit the DUST
Although the home nine lost by only
one run, 1t was an eXasperating defeat.
They had everything their own way
until the crash came, and should have
won.
. Like Thursdays contest, yesterdays
was a brilliant exhibition of the national
game. Both teams worked like clock
work in the field, and barring one or two
blunders by klopf of the local nine the
day previous. There was plenty of hard
hitting, good base-running and rapid
plays, all OF which delighted the spec
tatOrs and called forth from them liberal
applause.
Tho Sacramentos started the game 60
ing with a tally to their credit. Man
nassau went TO first on balls and stole sec
ond. Sweeney hit to Sharp and was
thrown out at first, Mannasau going to
third. Whitehead then shot a safe one
into right field, and Mannasau crossed
the plate. The side retired after White
head was caught trying to steal second
ana hlOpt went out on fly to w DIRK.
The visitors could do nothing in their
han OF this inning, being sent into the
held without even being allowed a man
on first
In the second neither side scored, but
IN the third both captured one. Sacra-
mentO'S run was the result OF a beautiful
three Dagger by Mannasau and his run-in
alter Sweeney's fly into left field had
been caught by Levy. In the San Fran
clscO's half Ebright went to first on balls,
aud went to third on passed ball. Spies
lew out 10 Mannasau. BalsZ hit TO
Peoples and was thrown out at first but
Ebright scored on the play.
Neither scored in the fourth. In the
fith, however. the Sacramentos captured
their last two runs. After Harper had
been retired on a fly to Mcclure, Man
nassau hit to Sharp and was safe on the
latter's tumble. Sweeney lined out
beautiful two-bagger, but Whitehead,
VINO followed him, went him one better
by smashing the ball for three bases.
ARnnasau and Sweeney scored on this
long shot. klopf and McHale went ont
on short intield hits, which were fielded
TO first handily by tho visitors.
Both teams goose-egged in the sixth and
then the band played the Sacramento's
lar a.
"lucky seventh" After the local men had
been retired Powers dropped pretty lily
Just back of Peoples, Ebright followed
with another just like it. Spies and Balsz
went out on hyballs. Sharp tapped an
easy one toward klopf. The latter was
oNer-contident and as a result the ball
went over first baseman Sweeney's head
Power took advantage of the blunder
and sailed across the plate, while IIbright
went to third and Sharp to second. Then
TO add to the agony OF the SacramentOs
Bube Levy whacked the ball down along
the left foul line, bringing in Ebright
and sharp. This gave the visitors the
winning run.
The local team worked like Trojans TO
regain their lost advantage III the last two
innings, but the agile metrOpolitans held
them down.
Nobody who witnessed the game could
grumbJe, however and all declared that
they got more than their moneys worth,
even If the home nine did get defeated
The work OF Pitcher Harper was ex-
ceptionally clever, and the heavy hitting
of Whitehead and Mannasau delighted
the audience. Louis Balsz, the Sacra-
mento boy, pitched for San Francisco,
and did splendidly.
Yesterday was ladies day" and the
fair sex turned out in good numbers. The
ladies' day every Friday is destined to
become very popular, and Manager Moore
has already become a great favorite with
the fair ones on account Of his generosity.
