HANKS PLANS AGAIN UPSET
BunkOed Out of Another Game by
Bundle of SWatS.
Frisco Had the Lead. but the Dukes Bobbed
Up With One of Their Justly Csle-
brated Finishes.

Itmakes no difference to those San Jose
fellows if the preceding chapters are lack
ing in plot or interest. They always man
age to reach q climax at the last with
suddenness that makes the other side dizzy
Now, in yesterdays game. for instance. the
Dukes had drawn seven blanks. and Hank
was once more joyous being. But in the
eighth a string of the most disreputable
swats ever seen on a ball field were torn of
in rapid succession, and when the returns
were all in it was found that shut-Out had
resolved itself into victory. Score to 2.
Such was the winding up OF another OF
those sensational engagements that have
taken place so frequently Of late. Patrons OF
the national pastIme hereabOut5 have been
treated TO National League bali, and the
size of the crowd Yesterday shows that
they are beginning to appreciate the fact In
the last three games between Frisco and the
Dukes the score stood l to 0 uptO the seventh
inning, and then the contests were only de-
cced after most feverish aud exha listing
finish Nearly COCO people sat through the
game Yesterday which was one of the pref
TEST seen in many long day. and the I'M
expected denouement made it all the more
interesting.
Like in the 2Tevi Gus contest Harris had
made final arrangements 10 accord himself
the game. Two of his employees had tailed
after a great deal of hardships and loud
breathing while the other fellows were
supposed TO be dead. They were, but re-
storation TO life was complete and owe r
whelming. and the way they saluted MI
Tanning in that eighth inning made mis-
head ache. Previous to this time the swats
appeared in small packages, ana then at a
time when they were not pGrtlcul arIy
valuable Then one bungle and four hits in
a row produced four runs that settled the
business without further disturbance.
Frisco's first tally with its accom- panying
remarks appeared in the fifth inning. So
effect tive had Mr.. Harper been that not
hit was recorded against him and Bungle-
some Bill had only bungled once. On the
other hand the Dukes had punctuated each
inning with a swat of some kind, but only
in the third did they come near scoring.
Stallings got away on a safe shot TO left,
slid into second and then at once arose aud
slid to third on ShaTp's miss Of ball sent
down TO intercept the runner In some
manner the ball got mixed up with Peck's
hands and feet and bounded of TO right
field. Mr.. Stallngs' arrival at third on his
sto mach was hailed as good omen, as there
was no one out al the time.
OBJECTED TO THE TREATMENT
In sliding 10 the bag Mr.. Stalings rasped
his kneepan on the gravel and suffered ex-
cTucating pains. Time WAS called while
number Of his associates gathered round
and gave him massage. Captain sweeney
objected to the treatment and said II IL was
absolutely necessary for tho patient to be
rubbed they had better take him out for
treatment aud not delay the game. While
Pete was speaking TO the umpire about 1t
Stalings got better, which fact Bungiesume
Bill impaired by remarking, He's all right
now, Mr.. Umpire, he IS. While Mr.. Stall
lings was still convalescing Harper tanned
out Unhappy McGucken hunted one to
Tanning and Stallings started home, then
went back, made another start and was
finally run 10 earth and jabbed IN the ribs
by Hank ReitZ.
Nothing dscourages a bRll team so
much az 10 have a tally spoiled just as 1t Is
about TO mature, but it often happens when
the man on third tries to score on an easy
one to the pitcher. The inning wound up
with n highly sensational, though UMPIRE
meditated, catch by Hank Spies. Ebright
sent q tail foul fly in the direction Of the
stand. Hank turned, ran a few steps and
stopped TO indulge IN day dreams. Hoft-
man hoWled at him from the bench. Hank
tore eff his mask, threw up his hands and
him on the thinker, The ball bounded
away, but Hank made another grab and
saved it amid wild and tumultuous cheering.
ANOTHER CASE FOR MASSAGE.
1t was in the fifth that Harris young men
broke the mOnOtOny with n run. Pete
Sweeney hunted and beat it cut, stole Sc c.
Ond and took third on a Wild pitch that
singed the umpire's legs as II scoOted by the
catcher. The injury was OF character that
required immediate massage, SO Sandy
called time and hObbled 30 the bench 10 ap-
ply the treatment While he was engaged
in caressing himself stne Dukes TOSSED the
ball around, and the moment the umpire
arose and called time Sweeney ran home.
Then followed an argument as to why he
should not remain at home, but he was
finally induced 10 90 back and try II over
again. He did so, and scored later on Pee
pies gT0under 10 short
The next run was developed in the sew
enth, Pete Sweeney leading of with sim
gle, going 20 second on sacrifice and scoring
on Eanning's drive 10 center for one sack.
Ia the next the locals filled the circuit with
only one hand cut, and then failed to get one
OF their nunb Der across the plate. The Dukes
had sent but one man as far as third base
until the eighth, when they made up for
lost time. Peoples tumble gave Harper
start. McGucksn flew TO BlockeTs and Ey-
erett sent single past first base that
helped Harper on TO third. Ebright's Texas
RUDE AS A sTRATEGIsT.
DooIey knocked foul to left, which de-
yeloped Rube Levy's latent genius as a
straleglst RUDE pretended that he had lost
the ball in the grass, but this was only a
weak subterfuge. under cOverof which Mr..
Tanning might enjoy a much needed rest.
Peoples went TO help Levy, and while they
were making diigent search McDermott
threw out a new ball Captain Sweeney
started in to kick, ana Rube. by rare
streak OF good luck, found the Old ball at
the same moment. But the new one stayed,
and with it Mr. DOoley tore off double
that scored Big Bill The score was now
tied and the excitement grew apace, as
there was only one hand out.
DOoley's hit was a scratch, as Levy got
tangled up with the sunlight and had to
shut his bright blue ewes for q moment.
Denny then sent pop.fy over third that
brought kbright and Dooley home with the
last runs Of the series. Sharp enIivened
the closing scenes for Frisco with a line
drive that nearly took Harper of his feet,
but he got no further than first base That
