to be one Of the most promising twirlers
ON the coast, although he is not yet
19 years old. Mulvey, the catcher. is
fine backstop and a beautiful thrower,
while Wilds, the first, is also a splendid
player, and is well known in Sacramen-
10. GormIey, Tribou and Batchelder are
also well known here, and they have
been playing ball for some years.
The c. c. and BIS have a very strong
team to play against the Woods, and
are confident of winning. Manager
AIillken says that Pitcher Wilcox is a
''erackerjack," and that it VIII not be
his fault if they lose the game. Wilcox
was formerly a resident of Reno, and
acquired such a good record as a
twirler that some of the clubs in Ne
vada would not play against him. He
is very speedy, and is said to have
perfect control and uses his curves to
good advantage. Conrad will play be-
hind the bat, a position in which he is
perfectly at home, Will Newbert at
third, Rice centerfield, and Ridley first
base.
The c. C. & BIS are an unusually
heavy hitting team, and improved as
they are with the three best batters
in the Corker outfit, they ought to be
able to bat out a victory.
The game will be called promptly at
2:30 o'clock
All the ], M and P street cars will
run direct to the grounds
Romeo Barry, the oldtime ball player,
viii umpire the game, and should be
able to fill that thankless position in
a first-clasS manner.
The bleachers will be covered, as they
are now a splendid place from which
TO view the game since the large tree
has been removed. The clubs will play
