only able to hit safely on two occasions
and seven of their number famed. The
visitors from the seashore deserve credit
for putting up an errorless game, but
without stick work games are net won.
The game was replete with double plays,
but nothing of q sensational nature hap
pened. Only one hour and thirty minutes
were consumed in playing the game, as
the men went out in quick ORDER. "Jacii
Sheridan, the old-time umpire, officia led
with credit to himself and pleasure to
those who watched the exhibition. He
had but one close play to judge, but his
decision, to the surprise of the fans, -
was not questioned. He will umpire again
to-day and it is hoped the California
League management will secure him for
all time. He has loud voice, a dignified
presence and what he says goes.
AS usual Mr.. Whalen, Santa Cruz s
pitcher, made himself unpopular With the
spectators. In the middle of the contest
he bunted the ball to short, but made no
effort to reach first, as he felt sure he
was out. This style of ball playing did
not meet with the approval of the crowd
and when he did the same trick in the
eighth inning he was roundly hissed. He
partially retrieved himself in the follow
Ing inning, when a ball rolled close by
him, by making a dash for it and throw
