AMONG THE BALL PLAYERS.
ANOTHER VICTORY ron THE
IS GILT EDGES.
Two Straight Over Watsonville-
Will Play the San Franchises
Tomorrow. s' E

| The Sacramento ball tossers come
home with two more victories to their
credit having Won both the Saturday
and Sunday games from the Watson
villes. 1t looks as if the Gifts had
struck the old trail they blazed through
the baseball wilds last season, and it
would not be violent assumption to
predict that they will lead the process
sion at the end of the season
Tomorrow they will meet the San
Franciscos at Oak Park, and if they
/ win this game the clubs stock will
surely take a jump.
| The Baker & Hamilton team of this
city went over to Vacaville yesterday
and defeated the crack team of that
place by a score of to 3. The fea-
lures of the game were the pitch
! ing of Rothwell, of the Baker & Ham
iltons, and wonderful running catch
by Thomas in the ninth inning with
| the bases full. He ran into an or
chard, and pulled in line drive from
Henricks' bat that should have been
good for home-run.
Doan Leiva also played a wonder
| full game at second, and Watts did
we'll at short for Vacaville, making a
great one-handed stop in the third in
ming.
Deputy, of vacaville, pitched a great
game, having caught several of the
| Sacramentans mapping on bases.
| This was the Vacaville's first defeat
this season, they having beaten such
great teams as the Will & Finck's, of
San Francisco: Rio Vistas and several
other crack teams.
| The manager. and players and even
| the mascot of the Vacayille team
showed the greatest of courtesy to the
visitors, and the people of the town
were also very friendly. The score is
as follows:
Baker & Manifestations Z, hits 9,
errors 3.
| Vacaville-Runs 3, hits Z, errors 4.
Batteries-Rothwell and Leiva, for

The B. & F.'s defeated the Alkalis
yesterday morning at Fifteenth and c
streets by a score of 10 to II in one
of the most interesting games of the
| season. Jim Butler, of the B. & F. S
distinguished himself by making the
| longest drive ever made on the Alkali
diamond, putting the ball over the
haymarket for a home run, which put
new life into his team, and enabled
them to win out in the last inning.
The Alkalis used their full corps of
star twirlers, but they all looked alike
to the B. & F.'s, and as fast as one
twirler would go in to pitch they would
promptly bat him out of the box.
Bunch Clark, at third base, played the
star game for the Alkalis, and his
many friends predict bright future
for him in the baseball world. 2
The batteries We're: For the Alkalis,
Buckley, Dennison. Hilbert and Vas
sails, and for the B. & F.'s, McManus
and McAuliffe.

| defeated the Davisville team yester-
day by a score of y to Z, with an in
ming to spare. They We're formerly
| the Hales.
The Cloud baseball team met and
defeated the Valley Diaries yesterday
by score of 25 to 13 and won $40.
Gene McAffery, who made a repu-
tation recently at Rocklin by pitching
phenomenal game, was forced to re-
tire from the slab, and Conrad and
Henley shared the same fate.
In the sixth inning, when things were
looking blue for them, the milkmen
hired all the small boys in the neigh
borhood to get on the third base line
to rattle Fitzgerald, but Fitz wouldn't
rattle, so their vision of a reward were
sadly dimmed.
The f1eld1ng of the Clouds was verJ
ragged in the first part of the game,
but they made ample amends for it
with their hard hitting. Fitzgerald
pitched a. good game, and but for his
support in the early innings would
have held the Diaries down to few
scores. II
The game was played at RyAn's base
| ball grounds. at Fourteenth and R
streets. The grounds have been fixed
| up. and Mr.. Ryan has now one of the
| fastest diamonds in town,
| The lineup Of the Clouds was as
| follows: Kathan, catcher; Fitzgerald,
pitcher; Clifton, shortstop; Baldwin,
first base; Mikels, second base; Geri-
oux. third base; Kestler. left field;
! O'Brien, center field; Long, right field;
Durer, extra.
