POP ASSISTED PECK.
These Two and Lucky Hits Gave
the Steers a Game.
Harris Again Tumbled Back to Second Place
in the speediest Game of the Season.
Contest To-Day.

Last week Hank Harris went up to Port
land to witness the successful close OF the
baseball season there, and get lew point
ers on chow TO be in it," Yesterday after
noon he mingled with his half frozen talent
IN the Haight-> treet PARK, and acquired
some additional information on show not to
be IN it," Score 3 to l. and Oakland's de-
feat IN San Jose places the Gardeners again
in the lead.
The game was what might be called a
transitOry phenomenon. 1t lasted little
over an hour, but this brief period Ct space
was productive of more baseball and base
hits cut down in their prime than any game
played here in a long time past. Both teams
were full Of ginger. and their magnificent
fielding made the shivtring audience forget
that 1t was slowly freezing to death.
Not a run or an error occurred on either
side until the eighth inning. Old man Hoff
man and Blauvelt kept sailing the ball
across the plate, and the fielders did the
rest. 1t mattered not whether the ball went
into the air Ut on the ground, it was gobbled
by some one. Smith and Reynolds at third,
Hassamer and Peoples at short, and Sharp
and Reitz at second. all made stops of the
phenomenal order, while Sweeney and
GuOdenough in center field each captured
i've long drives.
pop WAS DISGUISED.
Until the eighth Frisco had got but one
hit-a single by Levy in the secOnd-Oif
Hoffman, while the Senators Lad worried
BlauvelI to the extent of a pair OF doubles
and one single. AS fast rs the batsmen
faced the pitchers they either struck out
flew out or persisted on the bags with light
ming assists from the infeld.
Frisco failed to get man TO second base
9 Ia, .T.r IN sTH-f
led off with what looked like a hom9-run
drive but Roberts picked the ball out Of the
air near the ack-yard fence while going at
Iui speed. Pop was disguised. In the
eighth Cartwright branched out with sin
gle, took second on Peoples sacrifice, and
scored on Clark's single 20 left field. This
was their first and only run.
McCloskey'S Senators had also expert
enced some difficulty in the earlier innings
They got two men on bases in the third,
but Peoples and Sharp snuffed them out
with the only double play in the game
Hank Reitz opened the seventh for his side
with double, put got 10 further than third
base. Reynolds sacrifice helped him TO
that spot, where he fingered while Harvey
Biauvelt famed McEIals and Roberts out
in truly scientific style.
HOW THE SENATORS WON.
1t was in the Senators halt of the eighth
that they won the game. Hoffman started
Goodenuugh hunted and beat the bali to
first. Hassamer singled. filling the circuit,
and then Pop SWEET tried TO catch Hoffman
mapping at third, but made mess OF it aud
the ball went away into left field. Hoffman
and Bill GOOdenOugn scored on the throw,
and Spies line drive to center brought Has
samer home.
The ninth resulted in Dothing but a single
for the locals. and McCloskey's men quit
winners. All the way through the Senators
played one of those games we have been
reading about in the Sacramento dispatches
but never saw. Harris missed three OF them
last week but saw one yesterday. You
couldn't drtect flaw in their work with a
Lick telescope. Harris men were fautess
until the eighth when Sharp and Swrtt
erred, but the Senators punched hits in this
inning would have won the game anyhow
Bill GuOdenough performed some fire cir
Gus work IN center field, but If Bill doesn't
look out he will get himself disliked. Two
ladies, coming home in a car, were talking
about Bill. One of them said she thought
he was a fine all-TOund player. The other
agreed With her, but complained that Bill
caught too many flies when the locals needed
base-htts. Bill would increase his popular
lily by a uuff now and then if his professional
reputation was not at stake.
Messrs. Cobb and Callan will officiate in
the contest to-day. The score is as follows 4:
