YESTERDAYS BALL GAMES.
Railroad Teams Play Three Tame
Innings.
Another Victory for the Gilt Edges
at Grass ValIey-Minor
Games.

| The extreme heat yesterday took all
| the snap out of the local ball-tossers'
! and those teams which came together
tried to keep cool, rather than put up
good baseball
/ At Oak Park, in the morning, the
! Rolling Mill and the Boiler Shop teams
| of the Southern Pacific League played
three innings, which were principally
noted for the errors made. AT the end
of the third inning the score stood IL
| to 10 in favor of the Rolling Mill team,
and all hands were willing to quit.
Athletic Club Team No. defeated
Athletic Club Team No. 1 after the
Boiler Shop and Rolling Mill teams
had subsidized, by a score of 8 to 4. Only
four innings were played. when the sun
asserted its powers, and the players
cried enough.
The Gilt Edge baseball team took the
game from the Monarchs at Grass VAL
ley yesterday by a score of 10 to z.
Not a single safe hit was made off
Hughes, and but for one or two minor
errors the Monarchs would not have
scored at all.
This makes three straight games for
the Gilt Edges at Grass Valley, and up
to date there has been nothing found
in baseball talent this side of San
Francisco that even makes it interest
ing for the boys. They have many
friends in this city who believe they
will carry off the pennant in the State
tournament
Hughes, their first pitcher, has no
peer in the State, and the receiving end
of the battery is we'll taken care of by
II. H. Devine. M. De Costa, the
change pitcher, is a strong man, and
will show up well in fast company.
Hennesy at first, Dennie at second,
| Nethercott at third, and Orman at
short, make an infield that few ground
| balls or infies viii get through while
Walker at left, Shanahan at center, and
| Doherty at right, makes the team very
| strong in the outfield. Duffee and
Pommer, the extra players, are able to
| take any position, infield or out, at
short notice, and play very clever ball.
| Next Sunday the Gilt Edges will play
! in their brand new uniforms, furnished
by Frank Ruhstaller and the manager
| hopes to have a game in this city on
| that day.
| The nine composed of members of
Court Capitol of Foresters defeated the
Clark & Stanleys at Fifteenth and P
streets by a score of to 6. The Clark
| & Stanleys were unable to find Rice,
who kept his hits well scattered and
| had great control of the ball The
support given him by Ridley was fault
less. The Clark & Stanleys played a
4 axy 1iv1+ ~
good stick-work that they were de-
| feated.
Kripp's X-Ray Baseball Club defeat
ed the Holbrook, Merrill & Stetson
Club at Twenty eighth and @ streets
yesterday morning by a score of 80 to

phenomenal batting of the X-Rays
who scored twenty-one runs in the
first inning, seven of which were home
| runs.
The Lawyers literally wiped the
earth with the Courthouse nine yester-
day at Agricultural Park. The score
was 81 to 10. Hiram Johnson pitched

Hughes, Catlin and Fain took turn
! about at it.
The Hale Bros. defeated the Second
Infantry team at Twenty eighth and Q
| streets yesterday by a score Of 20 to is
