The ball game at the Athletic PARK
yesterday afternoon was a very one
sided affair, the San Jacintos being
beaten by the reorganized Los Angeles
team to the extent of twelve runs to
nil. There was very fair attendance,
but the visitors were SO completely over
whelmed by the splendid pitching of
Pier, who retired sixteen of their men
and did not send single man to his
base on balls, that the game ceased to
be interesting at. very early stage.
Only one clean hit was made upon his
delivery, and he was ably assisted by
Catcher Meneffee, who soon showed the
San Jacintos the futility OF attempting
to steal bases, and the rest of the team
backed both of them up in excellent
shape.
Game was called at 245 O'Clock, with
the San Jacintos in the field, Leonard
and Widner constituting their battery,
as on the previous day. The home team
smashed the ball over the field, Pier
Ward, Woolley and Brown being cred
tied with two-baggers, and the other
nVo all making singles.
Britain opened up the first innings
by planting the sphere between Bridges's
legs, and the San Jacinto players man
aged to make a series of errors with it in
getting it back, until he had made the
circuit in safety. Ward, Meneffee and
Brown did not make much Of a stand,
but were retired in short order.
For the visitors, Kreis and Leonard
+,,x I, Il
but failed ignominiously Mccoy man
single, the return being too hot for the
nimble pitcher to handle, but before he
had advanced Widner was struck out,
and the score stood | to 0.
The second innings was unprolifc for
both sides, the rival teams playing their
best to shut each other out.
In the third, Ross failed to reach first
base, but Sherrott hit a slow single to
Bridges, stole to second base, and reach
ing third on McKenZie's refusal to accept
high fly from Brittain's bat, scored on
Wards sacrifice. Meneffee going out on
fly to Kreis, and the visitors retiring
in short order, the innings closed 2 to 0
in favor of Los Angeles.
Leonard's arm showed signs of weari-
ness in the fourth innings and although
he put the ball over the plate, the An
gelei1os biffed him all over the field.
Brown trundled hot grounder to
Mellor who, throwing wildly to first
base, allowed the striker to reach sec
ond. Woolley smashed two-bagger to
right field and brought Brown home,
following suit on Youngworth's single
to left field. Pier Joined the procession
by planting a scorcher past Leonard, on
which Youngworth scored, and came in
himself on Ross's drive to right field and
Brittain's return to Leonard. Sherrott
failed to make connections at first, but
little Ward opened Leonard's eyes by
biting him for two-bagger and bring
ing both Ross and Britain in. Men
effee trundled slow one to short left
field for a single, and both he and Ward
advanced base on passed ball. Then
Brown lined out a beauty on which both
scored. Woolley made a single, but
both he and Brown under-estimated the
throwing powers of Catcher Widner and
were put out at second base. The San
Jacintos went out in one, two, three
order and the innings closed with the
score 10 to 0, in favor of the Angelenos.
Both teams were shut out in double
quick time in the fifth and sixth innings.
Sherrott made sensational catch in the
latter, running backwards at right field
and gathering in high fly from Kerr's
bat with one hand.
In their seventh the home team again
tailed. Brown flew to Bridges, but
Woolley's chance to Mccoy was unac-
cepted. He did not live long, however,
as he was caught mapping at first.
Youngworth hit single, stole to second
and scored on Piers two-bagger. Ross
reached first on an error, but was re-
tired soon afterwards. Another shut-out
for the visitors; score, II to 0.
Neither team Tailed in the eighth, but
in the ninth Brown placed the ball in
front of Mellor, who threw SO wildly to
first that the striker was on third base
before it was in play again. Woolley
flew out to center field, but Brown scored
on Youngworth's hit to right field. Pier
and Mccoy went out on flies, and the
visitors being once more shut out in
speedy order, the game closed as above
stated with the score IL to O.
