innings he bore up under the terrific strain Z;
then came the fatal seventh, and its advent
was signal for the departure of Hanks
most cherished hopes. His grief was not
that kind which finds relief in tears, else he
would have went as the contracted muscles

HIS FIRST INsTALLMENT.
Not since the beginning of the season has
there been a game on which so much de-
pended. 1t was the last meeting between
Frisco and San Jose, and while the audi
ence was not so large as it might have been
il was fiercely enthusiastic, and loudly D.
= plauded every play. Each nine went into
the fray with blood in its eye aud the ayowed
intention OF winning the peunant, but the
locals got nervous. bungled and lost after
;. having two chances TO win.
Harvey Blauyelt performed the first in
stalment of his contract as the lone twirer.
and II IS not entirely his fault that he didn't
win. Four struggling hits was all the Dukes
could get OFF Harvey. and the fact that not
one OF their four runs was earned tells the
story Of defeat. Six large errors, three of
which were costly, did much to offset the
work OF the Frisco pitcher, but Harvey bore
: up well ana never once showed signs of
breaking down.
Harper pitched great game, tanning out
DatSmen at critical stages. He made a total
. Of eight strke-outs and failed to give base
. on balls. The locals touched him up for a
total OF seven hits, one a double, but beyond
two runs in the third inning not Frisco
man ever saw the plate again. though on
two occasions hit would have sent In
tallieS in pairs. But the errors were made
by the visitors, not one OF which affected
the score sheet.
ERRORS IN A BUNCH.
Neither side scored in the first but 10 the
second DoOley was safe on Smiths tumble.
McVey and g. Sharp sacrificed ana Stall
iDgs' drive to right sent Dooley home. La
?. the third for Frisco Peoples and BlauveIt
struck out. but Sweeney hunted the ball to
third and beat it out. Peck Sharp popped
one up in short right field which fell be
tween two ielder5 and Sweeney scored
Sharp taking second on the play. Then
Smith punched out a tw0-bagger which
brought in Sharp with the second and last
run.
Levy sent hot grounder to Bill Everett
who booted itup in the air and the runner
WAS safe, Smith taking third on the play
Rube stole second, while Cartwright was al
bat and everybody locked for hit of the
Joe Shea order. but alas, the big man famed
out.
From this on to the seventh the play was
