ANOTHER TWIRLER.
Manager Moore Has Secured a Left
Handed Pitcher.
Said to be a Good One-Four Games
TO be Played Here This Week
With the 'Friscos.

Sacramentans will have several more
opportunities this week to see what the
new baseball team can do. There will be
four games, beginning with tomorrow
and ending with Sunday.
The Senators will have as their adj
versaries the San Francisco team, which
is now in the lead in the present series,
and which may reasonably be expected
to put up first-ciass ball. 1t will be the
San Franchises first appearance before a
Sacramento audience, hence there is a
general desire to see them on the dia-
mond.
Harper and SWEET will compose the
battery for the Sacramentos tomorrow,
and Balsz and Spies will do the honors
for their opponents. Balsz is Sacra-
mento production, by the way. He used
to be an employee at the railroad shops,
and displayed such skill as an amateur
twlrler that he dritted into the pro-
1esslonal ranks, and is now one of the
best pitchers on the coast. BalsZ has a
great many friends here IN his old home,
who will want to gaze on him after his
long absence.
Manager Moore has a surprise in store
for the public. He has signed new
'southpaw" pitcher, who will be here on
Thursday morning and will probably re-
lieve Harper in Fridays game. The
name OF this new ''phenom" has not
been made public, but Manager Moore
says he is a daisy" Nearly all the Los
Angeles lads are left-handed batters, and
the new pitcher is expected to be just
the fellow to puzzle them when they and
the Sacralnentos come together.

a meeting of the Directors of the Cali
fornia League will be held this morning
at ll:3O o'clock, in the Office OF President
Wieland, on Montgomery street, San
Francisco. The protest Of Manager
Gelschen will be heard, and the mana
gers will also consider the advisability of
putting the pitchers plate back to the old
distance from the batter's box.
BIGGER THAN THE UMPIRE.
One of the gentlemen in the box-office
of the Haight-street grounds last Satur-
day was Deputy Sheriff. On Saturday
w. II. Holmes OF Los Angeles arrived
from that place and secured an attach
ment against Manager Lindley of the
Los Angeles team. Sheriff McDade dis
patched one OF his most cautious depu-
ties, and that individual swooped down
suddenly on the ticket-office, served his
drawer.
so NEAR, AND YET so FAR.
Tebeau of the Clevelands was called
out at the plate on peculiar play, re-
Gently. He slid home, and Farrell, the
catcher for Washington, dropped the ball
in the collision. 1t was on the ground,
in plain sight from the grand stand. Far
rell was under Tebeau, whose foot was
close TO the plate, but had not quite
touched it. Farrell could not move with
out freeing Tebeau, who could then touch
the plate. The Washington catcher could
not possibly get the ball without moving.
Tebeau started to get up. and as he did
so hit the ball. Whether he did so pur-
pOsely or not made but little difference so
far as he was concerned, as Farrell could
not put him out anyhow, and he would
have been very foolish to get up and be
touched. McQuaid called Tebeau out,
presumably on the ground that he had
interfered with a fielder
