TO-DAY'S And SUNDAYS BALL.
Two Mercantile League Games This
Afternoon.
The Gilt Edges to Play a Crack San
Francisco Team-VariouS
Notes.

The Baker & Hamiltons and the Col
umbias Of the Mercantile League VIII
play one of their regular schedule
games this afternoon at Oak Park
Much interest is being taken in the
game, for should the Baker & Hamll-
tons defeated four clubs will be tied
for first place.
The hardware boys have not lost
game, and the Columbias, High School
and Capitol teams have each lost but
one, so the boys are all anxious over
the outcome of the game. The Newbert
brothers will be the battery for the
Baker & Hamiltons, and judging from
the ball VIII Newbert is pitching the
Columbus will need to take their bat
ting eyes with them.
Walter Hilbert will do the twirling
for the broommakers and should easily
keep his opponents hits well scattered.
With two such pitchers as Newbert and
Hilbert opposing each other it is safe
to say the score will be a small one.
Bert Adams will catch Hilbert, and
the hardware boys had better think
twice before trying to steal base on
Bert, as his arm is in good order and
he has been throwing finely to bases.
The makeup of the clubs is as fol-
lows:
Baker & Hamiltons-George Newbert
C., VIII E. Newbert p, Milne h., Gim-
bel 2b., Odbert 3d., Little S., f. New

At $3.50 p. m. to-day the High Schools
and Capitols will play ball at Agricult-
ura1 Park. The last time these clubs
came together the officeholders were
done up in great shape but they prom
Use to turn the tables on the students
to-day.
Tomorrow afternoon, at 2 o'clock,
the c. P. Nathans of this city and the
strong Judy Brothers team of Winters
will cross bats at Oak Park. The game
will be the second Of the State Tourna-
ment series, and will be we'll worth see
ing. Russ Pace, who is we'll known in
Sacramento, is playing third base for
the Winters team.
The Nathans are really a new club,
under an old name, as but three of the
original members are now on the team,
the others having to give way to bet
ter players. The Sacramento players
are very anxious to win on Sunday, as
they wish to make amends for the poor
game they played here some weeks ago.
The Gilt Edge club goes down this
morning to San Francisco and will play
against the Violets this afternoon at
Central Park. The Violets are consid-
cred one of the strongest clubs on the
coast, and if the Gilt Edges can get
away with them they will stand a good
chance to win the Examiner" Tourna-
ment.
The Hale Bros. & Co. baseball nine
will go to Walnut Grove to play a nine
of that place on Sunday. The Walnut
Grove nine is made up of strong ma
terial while the Hale Bros team are
playing a strong game A hard contest
is looked for. The Ha1es appeared in
their handsome uniforms last Sunday
against the Brightons Their suits are
of navy blue flannel, with white trim
mings.

OF ball Will be played on Sunday at
Agricultural Park. The first, which will
De called at l p. m. sharp, will be be-
tween the visiting team from Gridley

clubs, the Car Shops No. 5 and the

A new grand stand has been erected
near the diamond where all who attend
