day afternoon. An ordinary game of
ball consists of nine innings, but this
was no ordinary game. For fourteen
innings two evenly matched teams,
leaders in the city league race, gallantly
fought for victory. Three times was
the score tied, and no one in this part of
the country ever witnessed a harder
fight. The game opened at 2 :45, with
Tyler and Franck in the points for the
Tufts-Lyon Arms Company and Redman
and Long for the Athletic Club. Um-
pire Turner called play with Gard of
the Athletics up. 1t took only few
minutes for the boys in brown to score
five runs, which could easily sbe at
tributed to Franck's poor back-stop
work. Wooley succeeded him and held
Tyler in good shape until injured in the
fifth. He then exchanged positions
with Youngworth. This was the
"Quaker's" first appearance behind the
bat for four years, and was the signal
for round OF applause. The Quaker
played magnificent game, and Tyler
pitched splendid game, with the
Quaker to steady him. Tyler seemed to
find more speed the older the game, and
finished like 2-year-old.
Captain McAleer arrived in the sew
enth inning, and although Redman
had been doing well in the box, he sent
him to second, Clauser retiring. I'M
mediately on McAleer's appear
ance in the box, Morley's aggre
cation OF monkeys began to line
out the ball, and at the end of the
inning the score had been tied. The
eighth opened auspiciously for the Tufts
Lyon Arms company. Tyler hit for two
bases, scoring on Cards poor throw of
Hartley's hit. The Athletic club came
up smiling, however, and tied the score
again. Redman got beauty for three
bases, scoring on Arnold's high fly,
which Ludwig failed to handle.
Both sides were out in one, two,
three order in the ninth. Franck got a
life in the tenth, and scored on Tyler's
two-base hit. Wooley duplicated this
hit, and Tyler scored. The excitement
was now intense, and the baseball
400" thought the Athletic club
were "faded." There was even more ex-
citement, however, when the men
of muscle came in and tied the score
once more. Long made hit, and
found his way to the plate on wild
throwing. Redman again hit safely,
purloined scond and third, and scored
on Arnold's sacrifice. With the score
IL to II the spectators were almost
crazed with excitement, and as inning
after inning rolled off and neither side
could get man across the plate, it
looked very much like the umpire
would have to call the game on account
of darkness. There is an end TO all
things, however, and the end of this
game came when Redman sent two men
across the plate in the fourteenth in
ming with his fourth hit of the game.
Jack Moore opened up this inning
with safe hit. Hemler, who had
taken Franck's place, reached first on
Cards error. With two men on bases,
Clearwater" Tyler struck out. Gilkey
hit safely, filling the bases. On Hart
ley's sacrifice Moore scored. McAleer
was afraid of Wooley and sent him to
Youngworth came up. The Quaker
The Athletics came up with confidence
bunJ and stole second and took third on
Youngworth's failure to hold Hop
perstead's third strike. "Hop" was
out to short. Long worked base on
balls and ran down to second. With
two out, two men on bases, a run needed
to tie and two to win. Redman, the prize
all-around player, came up, the crowd
giving him lots of encouragement, and
the coachers making lots of noise. One
ball, one strike, two balls. two strikes,
then biff went the ball to left center for
two bases, and the Athletics had won
great contest. Each player of both
clubs deserves individual mention for
good playing, notably the first base
work of Morley and Arnold. .Redman's
all-around work has never been excelled
in this city. Jack Moore played his
usual steady game in left field, and
Barkley did some clever work around
third. Following is the score of the
longest game ever played in Southern
California.
