WHY GRIDLENTEs GROAN.
THEIR BASEBALL PETS WERE
BADLY BEATEN.
The Sacramento Athletic Clubs
Team Gave the Butte Lads q
Beating.

Baseball is booming in the upper Sac
ramento Valley, and as result the
strong amateur clubs Of this city are
often called on to meet the northern
clubs. The Sacramento Athletic Club
team journeyed to Gridley on Sunday
and defeated the strong club of that
place by score of 16 to 4.
The Gridley boys were over confident
OF winning, and their defeat was
crushing blow to them. On Decoration
Lay they met and defeated two OF the
strongest clubs in that section for the
local championship, and yesterday the
enthusiastic fans of that place hired
brass band and escorted their cham
pions to the bail grounds. Nearly the
entire population of Gridley and sur
rounding country was present, and they
rooted" for the home team from the
beginning until the last man was put
out
The Sacramento boys played a brill
liant, errorless game after the second
inning, their fine work frequently win
ming applause from the Gridleyites.
Frank Newbert pitched a superb game
for the Sacramentans. but seven widely
scattered hits being secured off his de-
livery. He also struck out four bat
tiers and fielded eleven runners out ~
first base.
Pope played a great game on the first
bag, accepting seventeen out of eight
cen chances. Halsey Smith made the
star play of the game, a running one
handed stop of hot grounder, and
s. Shields secured the longest hit of the
day, line drive over the center field
er's head for four bases. When the
Sacramento boys took the train for
home early yesterday morning the Grid
ley folks We're still standing on the
streets wondering how it had happened.
