II the players constituting the baseball
team from San Jose have been harbOring
the idea that they had a license TO win every
game from the Frisco club that belief was
rathiessly dissipated yesterday afternoon.
They simply were not in the game. and
were very fortunate in having been enabled
10 avoid a shut-out True, they won three
out of the four games Of the series, but in
8. the closing contest the home team obtained
partial, if not ample satisfaction. and it
seemed as if all the base hits that had been
needed during the week were raped out in
the first inning. How they did hammer
Lookabaugh's curvesl Ii was regular
cannonade, ard the multitude arose and
yelled itself hoarse as batter after after bat
ter banged the ball to q lonely corner of the
lot, and when Bill HassameT's hit rolled to
the clubhouse, stretching into fOur-bag-
ger what was at first supposed to be a sin
gle.~the noise made by the audience was
deafeniug.
The enthusiasm manifested by the audi
ence showed that the home team has host
Of admirers left and they were only await
ing a favorable opportunity TO exercise their
lungs.
THE BIG LITTLE DANIEL.
The biggest man in the game, however,
was the little fellow who guards center
field for the San Francisco team. Danny
Sweeney has been cheered time again on
every league ground in California, but he
never reused an audience to such a high
pitch of enthusiasm as he did yesterday
And when, after all his heavy stick work.

house and plucked a home-run hit from
Ebright's bat game was suspended for a
few minutes to allow the audience to give
UmpiEe Sheridan an opportunity to hear
his own voice. But how Danny did slug the
BALL After hitting Harper in the morning
for a triple two doubles and a single, be
sized up Lookabaugh for a three-bagger,
two-base hit and a paiI of singles. How
does he do it? " It's enc Of them things that
NO fellow can End out"
The game, despite its uneYenness, was a
good one, and brought out a great deal of
sharp, pretty fielding on both sides. The
Friscos exhausted the greater portion of
their ammunition ia the first inning, aud the
balance Of the hits made off Lookabaugh
were scattered, save in the fourth, when a
PAR of "safetieS" were raped out.
George Cobb, who pitched the morning
game, was placed in The box again at his re-
curves were converted into base hits on four
occasions only. Cobb appeared to be as fresh
and strong at the conclusion of the game As
when he tossed the first ball over the plate
IN the game at the EmeTyvile grounds. His
control Of the sphere was nearly perfect,
and but one member Of the San Jose team
went 10 first base on called balls.
CLEVER sHoBT-sroP WORK.
Hassamer played brilliant ball of short,
making q number of assists on ground hits
that were travelling over the second bag.
His shsTU and &C uTate throwing was
pretty sequel TO bis neat stopping, and he
was warmly applauded for his clever work.
Levy pulled down TWO flyS that would have
passed as safe hits had a slower man been
In the position, and the usual howl Of ad-
miratOn went up from the decimated kin

> Owing to an injury Everett had sustained
In the game, several changes were made in
the San Jose nine IN the second inning.
Ebright went to short, Dooley to third,
StalIiugs 10 first and Everett to right field.
EveretL's arm was hurt in q collision with
. Levy, and he temporarily lost the power to
throw the ball. Speer caught LoOkabaugh
In a faultleSs manner and threw nicely to
second.
Jack FOgaTty's work was superb. and his
catch in the air in the seventh inning was
bpe Of the features OF the game.
