up the breach And it was just at the stage
of the game when the change was made
that the contest was most exciting, simply
because Esper was "4elling all to pieces, "
and it is needless to remark that the Giants
are prepared this trip to find out the weak
spots of pitchers. They were led to believe
yesterday that they could win out, although
things went strongly against them in the
early part of the game. But the charge of
pitchers destroyed their hopes.
Farrell Was ia Great Form
There were 1150 people present and they
saw quite lively contest There was some
splendid fielding and more hitting than
there has been in local game for some
time Charlie Farrell never in his life
PLAYED third any better than he did yester-
day; in fact, it is not too much to say that
nobody else has done better than he did.
The error credited to him was one OF the
most excusable. 1t was made on throw
iust after making one of the most remark
able stops on record. OF course, Bierbauer
was in brilliant form and the visitors
PLAYED extremely well in the field.
The home players hit better than they
have been doing of late. which only shows
would be well up in the race Donovan,
Shugart and Farrell were in good hitting
form, the last named bringing in runs each
time he hit the ball. Donovan as usual
ran bases well and the first run was almost
entirely due to his swift and daring run
ming.
Crane was very wild at times, and that
seemed to bother him very much. He had
three wild pitches and they were all costly.
Ewing, who caught, him was-also little
of in his throwing to second and that was a
feature discourasing to the visitors.
Where Esper Was Rather Wild.
Esper was all right until the third inning
when he nearly collapsed. He has been
very sick of late ard that may account for
his unstea illness. In the inning named he
gave four bases on ball, and strange to say
only two runs were made, one of them
being forced in by base on balls He
stuck to his work and did well until the
seventh inning when three safe hits were
made of his delivery in succession, earning
two runs and nobody out. Then Terry took
hold and no more runs were scored.
The visitors went first to hat and in the
second halt OF the first inning Miller reached
first or a bad throw by Denny Lyons,
Donovan forced Miller out at second
Smiths sacrifice sent Donovan to second
and be stole third and scored on wild
pitch.
In the last half ofthe second inning Beck
ley started of with hot one &c left field for
three bases and scored on FarrelPs single
Farrell got to second on Kelly's sacrifice and
scored on MllierS single.
In the next inning Esner sent BOYLE and
Crane to first on balls, and Fuller's fly was
caught by Esper Burke got his base on
balls filling the bases and H. Lyons sent up
fly which Berbauer caught. DOYLE made
single, scoring Bovle and Ewing got
his base on balls forcing in run. Denny
Lyons retired the side with the bases tull.
bringing in the Runs.
The home players also made two in their
half on a base on balls, two wild pitches
singles by Shugart and Farrell and Beck
ley's sacrifice.
In the fourth inning AIiller's base on
balls, Donovan's single, Smiths sacrifice
and a good single to middle by Shugart
scored two more runs, and in the sixth inn
ing Donovan's single and steal of second,
Smiths sacrifice and Shugart's double and
Farrell's single scored two more runs.
The visitors made one in the fifth on
Burke's single ard steal of second and

ing Fuller started off with a single and
Burke made q two-bagger to right, H
Lyons made single to left and two runs
were in. Doyle had three balls and two
strikes called on him and Esper retired,
Terry going in the box. Doyle got his base
on balls and sacrifice by Ewing sent the
runners to second and third respectively
But Terry struck both Denny Lyons and
O'Rourke out, retiring the side.
In the eighth inning Boyle led off with
triple to right and scored on FuIler's sacri-
fee Only three hits were made off Terry.
