Pop" SWEET the old-time favorite with
the local shouters, has been drawn into
the game again after four years retire
ment, and has been signed by Harris as
catcher. This settles the receivership for
the San Franciscos, for with SWEET in
anything like his old form he will make
the best of them hustle to keep in his
class. SWEET was first brought into the
him to catch for the old Haverlys in
1SSS-S9. Prior to that he had been playing
with semi-professional and amateur
teams here. this being his native town.
In 1890 Pop" caught for the Bostons
but returned to California at the close of
the season, and for the next three years
wore the mask for the San Franciscos.
in the Southern league. and since then
he has devoted his attention to private
pursuits At present SWEET. although in
the best of health and strong as an OK, is
about thirty pounds overweight. but he
has already gone into active training and
every morning takes fifteen or twenty
mile jog out to the Cliff and along the
beach. In the afternoons he is the first
member of the team to show up for prac-
tice and is rapidly getting into form. His
arm is strong and his throwing to base
is sure SWEET will not participate in this
weeks series at Sacramento, as it will
take him about, ten days to get into per
fec. condition; but VIII go S14h into the game

Hartman's work. and with SWEET In the
team the locals ought to make a hot COM
bination After the change last Sunday
the team braced up and played a Won

to avert defeat. Sullivan will do the

appointment from the start. He was

order.

mirers last Sunday He fielded his posi-
ton poorly and his delivery was not up
to his work of last season. His eye is still
troublesome, though in a week or two he
will doubtless be as effective as ever.
O'Dea of San Jose has entirely recover
ed from his long lAness and will be in
this week games with his team. ODea
has reputation as a coacher that dis
counts Dalrymple. May heaven help
get on the coaching lines together.
Donlin, the Santa Cruz pitcher, is a ter
ror to opposing batsmen. He uses all the
curves, has plenty of speed, and, being a
left-hander, he uses a sharp inshoot that
is most battling. His one weakness is his
lack of control at times.
Sacramento has a remarkably strong
fielding team, but so far this season it
has shown up rather weak at bat. Hits
are what win games, and the Senators
will have to lace the ball out oftener If
they expect to cut any figure in the cham
pionship. They are big enough to tear a
ball to pieces with the stick.

Manager Kripp seems to be having his
troubles as well as the others 1t is re-
ported that Harvey will not play with
sacramento this season, but as soon as
he Is able will go East. Harvey's loss
will hurt the Senators a good deal.
Pyne will cover first for San Francisco
in this weeks games at Sacramento, and
Billings will play in centerfied.
Jim Mcdonald received a dispatch from
Nick Young last Sunday ordering him to
report at Philadelphia at once for umpire
duty with the big league. Accordingly
Jim started East Monday night. McDon-
aid did not go East in time for the open
ing of the season because of an attempt
to Juggle with his Salary, which he would
not allow. When the double umpire sys-
tenn was adopted in the National League
some cheap men were engaged at COM
paratively small salaries to pass judg-
deciding balls and strikes. An attempt
was made to cut the latter's salaries to
the figure received by the others. Nc
Donald. who is considered the best umpire
in the country, would not accept the re-
duction and refused to report for duty
until Young came to his terms.
The owners of the Watsonville team
have ended their petty squabbles and now
the greatest harmony prevails, with the
result that the team is at the head of the
class.
Pace and Clarke are leading in hitting
in Santa Cruz. Clarke has made the only
two home runs in the league thus far
The San Jose team is well worthy of all
the good things that have been said of it,
1t is even on games won and lost, and has
not played a ragged game this season,
those 1t has lost being by the narrowest Of
margins.

The California League is organized on
good lines this season. with six evenly
matched clubs, and the teams are playing
higher class ball than has ever been
played on the coast this early in the sea-
son. No better evidence of the evenness
of the league clubs for championship hon
ors is necessary than the result of last
Sundays game in San Francisco. Had
the locals won the game they would be
at the head of the list and Watsonville
at the tail end. AS the result of the
game was reversed, the Watsonvilles are
now leaders and the San Franciscans tail
enders. the other four teams all being
tied for second place. This forecasts a
hot struggle and an even race during the
season, with every game bitterly con-
tested. Following is the percentage of the
