y SHUT OUT BY
THE LOCALS.
The Dukes Failed to Tally in the
Game Yesterday.
Pitcher BlRuvelt appears in His True Light
and Wins Great vlctory-The
Colonies Lose.

For the brief space of one hour and twenty
minutes yesterday afternoon Hank Harris
sat on pea-green bench in the Haight-
street park clothed in seraphic smiles and
what looked like a new black cheviot suit.
Why did Hank Harris smile? Because his
all-star combination Dor one day had as
signed itself position close up behind the
big drum in the band.
They played early-to-b ed-and-early- to-rise
baseball, such as has never been seen be-
fore, shutting out the proud and naughty
Dukes by a score of 3 to 0. 1t was beauti-
full kaleidoscope game, which awakened
dormant memories of the days of long ago
. when grand stand and bleaeherS we're filled
with an enthusiastic crewd that howled be-
cause it had something to howl at.
From start to finish the scene changed
with cOck-like regularity. Here and there
q lonely base-hit broke the mOnotOny Of
clever fielding and brilliant plays that re-
tired the sides in short order But two er-
rors occurred, one for each side, but they
can easily be overlooked in the light Of sub
sequent events. San Jose was equally in it
with their opponents, but the mantle of
luck fell on Harris and his mini0ns.
Harvey BlauYelt concluded it was about
time to win a game for his employer and
day for a beginning. He introduced him
self to the San Jose batters by striking out
the first man up. After that he threw the
ball across the plate and let them hit it.
Not a hit did the Dukes get until the fourth
inning, when MCGucken and ii anley each
singled. McGucken was advance TO third
on Hanley's drive to right, but Clark threw
the runner out at second and White Rat
MeGucken remained on third. while the
next Two batsmen persisted in q futile at
tempt to reach first.
BLAUVELT HAD CONTROL.
In the seventh inning Bill Everett and
Dooley singled, the former hitting a SLOW
grOuudeT 10 Smith, which he beat to first.
McVey was next up and fouled out to Pop
SWEET, who made a great running cate b.
Blauvelt struck Hurley out ON three
pitched balls. During the entire nine in
nings but six San Jose men reached first
base and only two OF them got to Sec0ud
Blauvelt had wonderful control and the
visitors found him but for four hits and
not man was given base on balls. He
fieldrd his position well and made a sensa-
tiOual one-hand catch of hot line drive in
the second inning from the bat OF Mr.. Me-
Ney, who Is well enough TO take his posi-
ton again.
Buck Ebright was back in the game with
his bfurcated toe, Witch is still too weak to
perform its part in the national game. Buck
played the bag all right but cannot run as
he used to. His magnetic presence in the
game Inspired his associates TO marked de-
gree, but not quite mp to the run-gettlng
point, as the result plainly shows. Hurley
wore the mask, while StaIlings went to right
field.
In the first inning Frisco got two of its
thee runs. Harper gave Sharp a base and
Sweeney followed with a single TO left
Smiths sacrifice advanced both men a notch
and then Levy hit to Blockers Hanley. He
ran up on the ball and luggled 1t, then threw
high to the plate and Sharp scored. This
was the first and only error made by the
NR.tors, but it was an expensive one. Sharp
scored on Cartwright'S sacrifice fly 10 STALL
ingS, who made a fine throw home, but
Peck got in ahead of it.
Sweeney and Levy singled in the third,
but sharp fielding headed off the runs. In
the next, with one man out, Smith hit safe
TO left stole second and third and came
home on a wild pitch. From this on an UNI
broken string Of clpherS greeted the efforts
OF both teams, but The play went on with a
spirit and dash that caused the most de
)ightful sensations among the people. II
was so different from the previous game,
which savOred strongly of late hours.
Frisco got but one more hit off Harper, q
single in the eighth. by Cartwright, with two
men out, and the side was retired before the
big fellow had a chance 10 steal a base. He
had nine chances at first and accepted them
all, making difficult catch of a foul fly and
some neat stops OF bad throws. The only
fielding error was in the eighth. when
smith and Sharp collided Oh a pop fy near
the pitchers box, in which both were
slightly damaged, but no blood was spilled
It was a good fielding game all the way
through. McGucken retired the Frlscos IN
the last inning on three fly catches. Big
Bill Everett had eight chances at short and
Peoples seven, some Of which were of tht
sensational order. Pop SWEET went aflel
four foul flies and got them all. Harper
was well supported by Hurley. He wa
found for six hits and gave them bases OF
balls. Following is the score:
