SLOW BASE RUNNING
CAUSED BY MUD THE PLAYERS
PACKED
Some Good Games and Some Very
Rocky Ones Played by State
League Clubs

SAN JOSE, Sept. @.-The game OF ball
this afternoon between San Jose and San
Francisco was a matter Of scrambling
around In the mud, 1t being anybody's
game according to how the runs came, IN
loose, wet soil, with San Jose very much to
the bad at the close. In fact, 1t couId not
have been any worse for the team. for
they did not get run, while the visitors
piled up six points. The base running was
necessarily the slowest ever seen on the
ground, for a runner had to carry with
him almost his own weight In mud on his
feet. The men jolted around over the
bases like ice wagons, and the wonder is
that any runs were made at all. The ball
also would almost always stop dead In the
mud whenever 1t hit the ground, and this
added to the uncertainty of the game and
interfered with the calculations OF the
players. In the midst OF 1t all the San
loses got the mud fever and their batting
orms were paralyzed, SO that all hope of a
run to save the ignominy of shut-out was
lost. There was fair attendance. The
score: San Francisco 8, San Jose 0.
Watsonvile-A very exciting league
game of baseball was played here this af-
ternoon between the Athletics of San
Francisco and the WatsOnvilla club. AT
the end of the tenth inning the score stood
to 8. The Athletics refused to play any
longer, though Watsonville insisted on
continuing the game to a finish. Watson
Vile claims the game and the matter will
have to be decided by the managers Of the
league.
sacramerto-The Owls Of SEN Francisco
defeated the Pommers OF this city here to-
dav by a score Of to 4. It was the first
game here of the new state amateur league
The visitors were older and heavier thar
the members Of the home team. Up to the
seventh inning the score was to 3, but
after that the Owls piled up five runs tc
| one for the Pommers. 1t was O good game

hundred people.

since March 4, 1897.
The Republicans have 67 out of total of
