Ball Club in this city. at the Sixth street
park, the visitors came away victorious, the
score being s to in their favor.
Fully two thousand people witnessed the
game, and it was the most holly contested of
| the series.
Errors there were to be sure, and some
that were wholly unexcusable; but there
was notable absence of those glaring
blunders which characterized the two pre-
ceding games, more particularly the second
one.
The Californians, in Sundays game, were
''goose-egged" in their first, fourth, fifth.
sixth and eighth, and the home team failed
to touch the plate in their second. fourth
sixth, eighth and ninth innings.
The detail of the play fos those innings in
which runs were scored is as follows
cALIFoRNIANs.
In their second inning the Cslifornisps
sent Conn to the bat and were rewarded by
seeing him bob up serenely at first, on soft
hit to right. which Wood failed to pick up
on account of loosing his footing. Conn
was. still grinning over his good streak
OF luck when O'Dea bated ground
er into the infeld which forced him
out at second. ODea made his first all right
enough and, moment later, while Cooney
was making frantic efforts to reach Wal
biidge's out curves, he scooIed for second.
arriving there just in the nick of time TO
save his scalp. The batter mentioned
sawed away at the air three times in a most
determined manner and then with q scowl
at the Los Angeles twirler, gave way for
Bufford, "the big batter" The latter main

large share OF the credit for the CALIFORNIA;
first run. Not satisfied, however, with his
a!reaoy exceilent performance. he stole far
on o. second and, while the attention Of the
home team was conferred in the effort to
catch ODea at home, the festive Bufford
shot to third like an arrow much to the de-
light to all who had their coin wagered on
the visitors.
DePangher, not to be outdone, threw all
the strength of his herculean frame into one
mighty effort and elevated the ball high

McGuire retirei the side by tip up to

In their third McCord opened the hall by
a desperate drive which enab bled Walbridge
TO demonstrate his agility in getting out Of
the way of hot liner. 1t was rather too
warm for Dascomb, also, and McCord was
putting in good licks for third before the
nelders had sent the ball into the diamond.

strike and keeder hit to right for bag,
bringing McCord home. On a pass Reeder
got 10 second, bus there became "frisky,"
and white doing a cute little song and
dance about three feet off the bag, the eagle
eye of Walbridge fell upon him and-his
doom was sealed. He was sad and down
cast as he came slowly around home the
wrong way. and he sighed deeply as he
drew a thirty.cent slab of Climax out of his
pistol pocket and opened up along its works.
Conn struck out and the side went to the
field.
In the seventh Bufford hit to solano, but
the latter had game finger and couldn't
get the ball TO first in time to head the run
ner off. Derangher got in his deadly work
as usul', sending beauty into the plug hat
brigade seated along the fence in right field
and going clear around to third, Bufford
scoring. Mcclure went out on a little fly to
third, McCord hit sharp to short and De
Pangher tailed. McC0rd stole second and
third and came in on pass. Cannon and
Reeder both quit at first on easy hits to
second
In their ninth and last BuGord failed to
connect at first, but DePangher earned
bag (by proxy, however, ODea rnnning
for him on account OF his lame leg). O'Dea
stole s. second and McGnire tipped up into
Georges fins. O'Dca got to third by u hair
and McCord got mad and drove the bail
hard to right center, letting O'Dea in. Nc
Cord by dint OF close attention to business
got to second and third and came in on Can
mons smart daisy-cutter past short. Reeder
went out on strikes, killing" Cannon at
second.
