There was very slim attendance at
the Athletic park yesterday afternoon,
although the weather was everything
that could be desired for outdoor sport,
and the ball game between the San ia
cinto and Los Angeles teams was wit
messed by about $50 spectators only. 1t
certainly deserved better patronage, for
in spite of the fact that the home team
came out victorious with a score of 7 to
3, the game was well played and inter-
esting throughout. The visitors were
slightly ratified in the first innings on ac-
count of the superior coaching of the
local boys, but they soon steadied down
to work and put up good ball. Game
was called at 2:45 O'Clock by Umpire
Ramsay with the Angelefios at the bat,
Leonard and Widner constituting the
battery for the San Jacintos. Captain
Britain opened up hostilities with a
scorcher to short-stOp which the fielder
was unable to hold, and reached first
base in safety on the error. Ward biffed
the ball down the third base line, letting
Britain in; but overestimating his own
sprinting powers, the little short-stop
was thrown out at second base. Meneffee
drove a hot liner to third base and
reached that coign of vantage on wild
throw to first, scoring on Browns safe
hit to right field. Brown stole to second
base, but was thrown out at third,
Woolley having returned the ball to
Pitcher Leonard. Youngworth being
struck out, the team was retired with
two runs tailed and Woolley on second
base.
Ross and Meneffee formed the battery
for the home team and the latter was in
splendid form, throwing to second with
unerring accuracy and gathering in
everything that came his way. Kries
was sent to his base by Ross, and stole
to second and third bases, scoring on
Leonard's base hit to left center-feld
Bridges died at first, but Widner planted
a fine two-bagger in the left garden,
upon which Leonard scored. G. Mccoy
and Kerr went out on flies, and the
innings closed with the score 2 to 2.
The game grew very exciting during
the next four innings las both teams shut
each other out in short order, and San
Jacinto stock went up with a rush, in
the estimation of the spectators. In
the sixth inning, both teams added
single tally to their scores. Ross opened
up with pretty base hit, but was
thrown out by Leonard at second base,
Sherrott having returned the ball to the
pitcher. Britain smashed the sphere
to right field and reaching second base
on the fielder's error, went to third on a
passed ball. Sherrott scored, meanwhile,
Ward went out on foul and Menetfee
died on first. Bridges, for the visitors,
enlivened matters by smashing
a red-hot ball to right field,
but he was retired at second,
Widner planted safe hit, and steal
ing to second, reached third on Ross's
failure to hold hot return from G. Nc
Coy's bat. Kerr placed the ball neatly
between the second and third basemen,
letting Widner in, amid considerable
enthusiasm. Mccoy was thrown out at
third while attempting to steal his base,
and Kerr, under the impression that his
side was out, walked off his base and
was promptly put out. Score, to 3.
The interest increased as neither team
scored in the seventh innings; but in
the eighth the Angelehos added three
tallies to their score. The visitors were
retired in short order, and the local team
scored once more in their ninth innings.
The following is the official score:
