GILT EDGES AND STOCKTOHS.
THEY WILL MEET ON THE DIA-
MOND TO-DAY.
An Exciting Contest Expected at
Snowflake Park This
Afternoon.

II SnOulu De feO-nOt DaSeDaH at
Snowflake Park this afternoon, when
the Gilts will try to take the edges off
the Stockton boys Much enthusiasm
is manifested, and the indications are
that big crowd will be in attendance.
The great game played here a week
ago is still fresh in the minds of all
the cranks, and that in itself will be
sufficient TO draw a large crowd to the
game. Then, again, whenever the
Stockton team plays here there is
great crowd to see them as they are
good ball players and come from our
rival city.
Stockton has a great team this year.
Their two twirlers, Whalen and Fiegi,
are good manipulators of the sphere
and excellent hitters The old favorites,
Selma, Peters, Nick Smith, White broth
ers, Stewart and Billings are still
lined-up with the windmill city lads,
and every baseball ''fiend" remembers
what kind of players they were last
year.
The game does not begin till 3
o'clock, which will give everybody a
chance to witness the Memorial Day
parade. Doyle and Stanley will be the
battery for Gilt Edges, and Stewart
and Peters for Stockton There is talk
of quite a delegation coming from
Stockton to help their club along, and
the StOcktOnians are the liveliest and
noisiest rooters that ever visited Sac
ramento.
Shanahan will be in his old position in
center field, and it is pretty safe to say
that no ball going into that territory
will get away from him. Nick Smith
plays his old position at second base
and is hitting the ball hard this year
He will doubtless be given. a great re-
ceptiOn when he goes to the bat. The
teams will lineup as follows:
Gilt Edge. Position. Stockton
Stanley .... Catcher. .... Peters
Doyle ...... Pitcher. ...... Stewart
Caverly. 49,. First Base. 49,. Selma
Hughes 80. Second Base. ...... Smith
Lochhead .... .Shortstop.. Billings
Peoples Third Base. H. White
Borland. ... Left Field. 49,. Rice
Shanahan. Center Field. Babe White
Harvey. Right Field. ..... Muller
The CoIumbians on Saturday went to
Nevada City. where they met the
Colts" of that burg in a game yester-
to play the Monarchs of that mining
town. Griffin pitched in the Nevada
City game. and Treichler the Grass
Valley contest, where the former will
take care of third bag The Colum-
bians lineup as follows: Cowden'
catcher; Griffin and Treichler pitchers;
Pope. first base; Just, second base;
Smith. shortstop: Treichler and Crit
fin, third basemen; Mcbride, left field;
Grau. center field; Smith, right field;
Hall and Root, extras.
There was no amateur game in this
city yesterday, as several of the players
are sick The league managers will hold
a meeting on Tuesday and decide on
complete schedule for the entire season,
and it will be adhered to the same as
the big league schedule.
The Union House ball team went
down to Walnut Grove yesterday, Where
a rattling game was played with the
home nine AS usual. the Union House
lads were victorious, the score being II
to 9.
The Pommers formerly the Second
street Terrors) went over to Woodland
yesterday and played the crack juve-
nile team of that own. Before the Sec
ond inning was concluded the Capital
City kids had made 20 runs to for
the Woodlanders and the latter threw
up the sponge and quit. The battery
for the visitors were Roscoe and Burke.
The Pommers have now won ten
straight games, and the little fellows
are as proud Of themselves as so many
young peacOckS.
