LargG Maj0riti8S in Each for the
Gardeners.
An ANXIOUS WEEK FOR SAN JOSE.
They Started With Half a Game, Increased It
One, Then Fell a Half Behind and Finally
Pnllad Out with One and Half Ahead
HaFi Hitting Defeated Frisco in The M0Tl-
ing and They Lost the Other in The Fog.
Vigt0Ty for The Steers.

Old oceans vapory breath blew in from
the deep in dull gray banks that rose and
fell with the breeze, till the felders looked
like spectral bodies treadnG air Here and
there juicy cloud hung fast in space ard
drippcd on the Just and unjust alike, with 4
cold, relentless drip.
1t bordered full-grown whiSkers with
siIyery lace drapery, and plugged up the air
cells Of the deep-Iunged cOachers till their
voices sounded like the hOaTse gurgle Of an
exhaust pipe in winter. A fog bell was
hung on tile ball as a warning to out-heid-
ers, and both clubs shipped navigator to
pilot the men into tie bench when the
teams changed sides in that eXhiliIattng
autumnal atmosphere.
Compared with other days yesterday was
better adapted for taking shoal-water sound
fngs than for playing hail. but the announce
ment that the leaders were to lock horns
again brought out the largest audience oil
the week. 1t was noisy audience, too,
when it saw Hank Harris men make
brilliant start. But when the locals sue
cumbed To fDg ana timely hits less yehe-
meut tone peIvadpd the place, except IN
those spots occupied by San Jose people.
When Finn and his yeOmanry arrived
here last Thursday they had half game
land increased this to one game and nail.
Then Harris = I in and dDvned the Dukes
twice. which gave him a lead OF half game
Yesterday the Dukes won both games by
overwhelming majJritjes, and now nave
margiu OF one aud one-halt games 10 IaLl
back on in case of accident. 1t Is always
we'll to be on the safe SIDE.
John Hrtftruau brought his dog along Tor
a mascot and tied him TO the Frisco bencn.
As a mascot this dog is total failure, and
his presence brought defeat by score OF .
to l. Years ago the ancestors OF TINS same
dog used to mascot for the old Pioneers
when HedeTnau WAS roofing for that team,
and at the windup II the season thev lost
twelve straight games by that same score
9to T. After the game Harris said 1t was 4
lucky thing that lie didn't have his gun
PLAYED IN HARD LUCK.
It was q streak of bad luck that helped to
humble Harris. aided by return OF the
Dukes old batting form. They hit Cobb
hard, and, to MAKE matters worse, the young
men back Of him bungled. Peek Sharp's
error on an easy chance gave the visitors
two runs that broke q tie score, and COBB
made couple Of bad breaks that were re-
spOnsible for three more taliies.
In the first inning with two men out Cobb
fumblrd with grounder from the bat OF
EhrigHt, and the captain took second on
wild pitch. Then D1uley drove two
bagger ont into the cold fog, scoring Ebright
single These were the only runs in the
first two innings, but in the third the locals
secured four bY errors and hard hitting.
SWEET opened the inning with a single
and reached second on McGuckel's error.
Peck Sharp scored Swett with drive to
right. Hanley's tumble gave Sweeney a
start Smith singled TO left, bringing in
two runs, aud was assisted home by Cart

inning This placed the leaders in the Lead
but they did not remain long in that pc
sitiun.
In the fourth inning for San Jose, with
George Sharp on second, Stallings knocked
the ball down the right-Iield fence, where it
came in contact with the person OF young
man who VI as viewing the game from ataT.
The hit would have been good for two bases
but the ball being blocked it counted for a
home run and scored two tallies. This
made a tie which the locals were unable tU
break in the fifth.
The Gardeners succeeded in breaking it
without much trouble. McGucken m de an
out, but Hanley was safe on Sharp's FUN
bic. Everett came next and hunted himself
out with gTouuder to Cartwright, only to
be followed by Ebright with 4 single that
sent uanIry home. Dooley bobbed up with
his second double, scoring Ebright. Ia the
seventh Everet's two-bagEer, base on
balls and i've errors gave the visitors three
runs.
After the third inning Harper was hit but
once, aid that was Smiths double in the
h'th. He was well supported, Blockers
Hanlcy actually assisting in a double play,
which made BlOckers feel quite proud.
