OUT OF SIGHT.
THAT'S WHAT THE CRANKS CALLED
YESTERDAYS BALL GAME.
The Los Angeles Team Wins an Eleven
Inning Game-The Best Contest Ever
Played Here.

An out of sight game-that is what
the baseball cranks called the game
yesterday between San Francisco and
Los Angeles at the Temple street
grounds. 1t took eleven innings to de-
eide the game, and when victory perched
on the banner of the Los Angeles club,
cheer went up from several hundred
throats. The game was replete with
brilliant plays. 1t was gallant strug-
gle for supremacy from start to finish,
and the spectators were loud in praise
OF the unusually good exposition of the
national game Of America.
"Syke" Young was in the box for Los
Angeles and he never pitched better ball
than yesterday. Young struck out no
less than thirteen of the visiting COM
bination. This is wonderfully good
performance, when it is considered that
some of the heaviest batters in the Cal
ifOrnia league are members of the San
Francisco team. For six straight in
nings, the San Francisco team failed to
make circuit of the bases. Young also
performed the creditable feat of striking
out seven men in succession. Five out
of the nine failed to register safe hit
against the Garvanza demon. Alto
gether only eight base hits were made
Off Young in the eleven innings. Lob
man gave Young splendid SUPPORT
Roscoe Coughlir also made good strike
out record, thirteen of the local nine
waiting the gentle zephyrs. Stevens
caught in his usual excellent style.
Los Angeles led off by scoring one run.
The visitors did likewise. In the third
Los Angeles made another tally, and
spectators cheered Justify when this was
repeated in the sixth. They duplicated
the performance in the seventh, and
the score at that point in the
game stood 4 to in favor of
the home talent, and the small
boy was correspondingly happy. The
visitors got in run in the eighth. The
Los Angeles club failed to tally in the
ninth With the score to 2 against
the team from the metropolis of Califor-
MIA handled the willow. They were
equal to the emergency. Ebright
reached first on Lohman's failure to hold
his third strike. O'Day got his base on
balls, and the admirers of the home
nine began to look blue. They looked
bluer the next minute for Wilson banged
out the sphere in the vicinity of center
field and Ebright and O'Day both scored
on the hit. This made the score even,
and with only one man out, it began to
look as if the visitors would repeat
their Garrison finish OF New Years
day. Fortune favored the home boys,
and sigh of relief went up when the
third man was disposed of.
"a ten-innings game" said the cranks,
as they shifted in their seats. 1t looked
like a shut-out until Lohman caught one
of Roscoe's curves on the right spot and
the ball went sailing out OF the grounds,
hall way up the hill. 1t was great
drive, and mighty shout went up.
The score was to when the visitors
began their half, and the excitement
was at fever heat.
| Sweeny led off with hit. Stevens
| followed with two bagger. Charley
Dooley was the next to take up the
wagon wheel. Dooley is hitter from
Hitterville and the hopes of the cranks
fell below zero when he faced Young.
Fortunately he got hit with the ball and
took his base. Three bases were full
and no one was out. Ebright sent up a
sky-scraper which Carsey caught, but
midget" Sweeny scored on the throw.
Lohman threw to Stapleton at first and
the result was that Stevens was
cleverly captured between the bases.
Two men were out and the score
was even up. Mcdonald was the
next to bat. He biffed the leather and
all was anxiety for second. The
ubiquitous Reitz captured the ball in
his usually brilliant style, and sent it
down to Stapleton in the nick OF time.
Los Angeles started in the eleventh
innings to do or die. Isaacson opened
up wit two bagger. Syke Young sur
prised the crowd by hitting the ball
over the fence for home run.
The score was to when the Friscoes
went to bat in the eleventh Young
was on his mettle. He struck out
O'Day. Wilson got base hit.
Coughlin struck out. Wilson was soon
after captured in an attempt to get down
to second, and the greatest game ever
played in Los Angeles was over.
The score tells the balance of the
story:
Los ANGELES.
