HOFF'S HIGH THROW.
It Lost a Winning Game for the
Gardeners.
Portland Wins Two Of the First Three Played.
First Appearance Of Winfield Scott
Camp, the Pitcher.

A faint OF plebeian blood in the Dukes
royal family lost the third game of the San
JOse-Portland series to the pride of Santa
Clara, making two in a row. Score TO 2.
It was a better game than the opening one
last Thursday. and was witnessed by an
audience not quite so large but fully as en-
thusiastic. There were number of bril-
liant plays and some that partook Of the
nature of punk, but Theses can be condoned
by the weather.
Glenalvin'S men appeared in better form
than on the opening day, but as yet have
not developed those terrific batting qualities
about which so much has been said and
written. They have gone the rounds Of
Messrs. Harper and Lookabaugh without
doing much damage, and yesterday tried
their luck with old man Hoffman, late of
Sacramento, supported by the justly cele-
brated Hank Spies. also of Sacramento.
Five scattering singles was the result Of the
encounter The game was lost through
errors due TO the introduction Of plebeian
blood into the royal family.
Old nan Hoffman made bad throw at a
critical juncture and the deciding runs came
in. This disaster did not spoil the interest
in the game. which was marked here and
there by heated controversies with the twin
umpire system. Owing to the cloSeness of
the contest each side wanted to make the
best Of every point, hence the arguments.
One grew out of a decision at second rem
dered by Sheridan, aud the other was
caused by an attempt on the part of G.
Staiiings to sit down on pitched ball while
il was yet in the air. Happily both of these
momentous questions were settled without
loss Of human life.
WINFIELD SCOTT CAMP.
z. J. McNabh, alias Big Pete the Pitcher,
had been advertised to appear for Portland,
and would doubtless have done so had not
Winfield Scott Camp. alias the Kid, arrived
from Omaha in time u do little pitching
himself and show the people what he can
do in the box. Camp is the young man who
was called home on account OF sickness in
his family shortly after the team arrived
from Portland.
In noting the arrival Of young Mr.. Camp
it would be more proper to state that his
bones got in yesterday, and that his flesh is
expected TO come along later in a retrigera-
tor car. Al least heilooks that way.
lie is the most spaTSely settled ball-player
seen here yet Tom Parrot. brother to
JigGs, ma Robinson's " orld-renowned Mike
Fitzgerald are corpulent compared TO Camp,
who is 50 thin that his shadow sometimes
loses him. He is about as t1eshy as hens
forehead. Those who have made study of
the hen from a archaeological STANDPOINT
know Just low much adipOSe tissue she has
on her brow, and IAN therefore form fair
ettimafe Of this young North western phe-
nom. However, the Kid is quite pitcher
and gained the favor of the audience from
the start.
While Nh Camp is said to have the usual
pitchers repertary, he depended Yesterday
on straight, fast bali, with which he struck
out five men and sent five others 10 first.
Five hits were all the Dukes could ind, and
one OF these was afuuT-bagger, which scored
their only runs. Camp watches the bases
closely, IS lightning thrower, and fills his
position cleverly. He has been cut of prac-
tfce for nearly month, and is expected TO
do even better work when he gets into con-
dition again. He was well supported behind
The bat by Cousin Park Wilson.
wEBFOoTERs' FIRST RUN.
Portland had the first crack at the ball
They could do nothing with Hoffman until
ihey got down the line TO Patton. who
smashed single. Abbey was next and
few to Bl6ckers, Hanley retiring the side.
For the Dukes McGucken flew to Darrah
and Hanley got away on a drive that took
sharp bowl al short. EbTight was given his
base. Big Bill sacrificed and Handsome
Dooley famed out In the second for Port
land MOTT reached second on Everett's bad
throw, but the side went out In order and
left him there.
The second for San Jose was blank so
far as runs were concerned, Hank Spies
reaching first on single Stallings stood
In the way of the ball and McVey was given
base. With no one out and tie bags full
the Kid got 10 work and struck Hoffman out
after Dsrrah had been given chance to re-
tire him en- a foul. McGucken popped one
up 10 Darrah, which he held. Hanley had
two strikes called on him, but picked up
good one and drove it into center, where it
was gathered in By Abbey. 1t was a close
call for the northern men.
The first run was flushed In the third.
Lytle few TO Ebright. Gienalvin sent an
other, nigh infeld fly, in the same place.
Buck said he had it, but he did not. He
muffed and Glen was safe, taking second on
passed ball. Work came next and drove
liner TO left, which scored Glenalvin.
Work started to second on the throw, but
started back and was run down by BlockeIs.
Patton went out on an assist by Hoffman.
TIE DUKES ONE AHEAD.
Handsome Dooley distinguished himself
IN the third by placing his associates in the
lead. Everett was retired by Work, who
made great running catch on foul ground.
Ebrght got his base on balls and then
DOOley caught the ball on the nose for a
home run. 1t would have been a SINGLE
but the ball took a bounding Jump over Alb
bey's head and went on to the clubhouse.
The rest of the inning was devoid of
features, except that StaIiings got himself
hit again for one base.
Neither side scored again until the eighth,
when Hoffman made his great tidd EIDE wnks
throw and lost the game. In the seventh
the Dukes had a chance to score, but
Dooley threw 1t away. With two men on
bases and no one out DoOley tried for an
other home run instead Of sacrificing. He
hit to Darrah, forcing Big Bill at third and
the talented Dooley was doubled at first.
Spies hunted. but was retired al first on
rapid assist by Camp.
Glenalyin opened the eighth with sharp
hit, which struck HOffman's leg and bound
ed out to left field. Work followed with a
single. and Patton knocked one to Hoff-
man, who threw high above Dooley's head
Glenalvn and Work scored, Patton going
to third, but was retired in trying to return
to second, which he failed to touch. The
game was lost In the last for the Dukes
the side went out in order, Hanley on an
assist by Camp, Everett few to Work and
Ebright struck out
In the last for Portland Cousin Park sin
gled, second on the throw and stole third,
