San Francisco Wins The Third Game
From the Dukes-Los Angeles
Again In the Lead for
the Pennant.

The Angels are in the lead once
again. Yesterday they defeated the
Colouels for the second time. The game
was fairly exciting, in fact it was a trife
too exciting at the finish, and, although
several people started to leave the
grounds in the second half of the ninth,
they did not do 30. The Colonels came
up with grand stand rush and almost
turned decisive defeat into victory.
There was fair attendance and the
Los Angeles boys were full of ginger
from the start. Jimmy Stafford was in
the box for Los Angeles and "Statu-
esque" O'Neill did the curving act for
the visitors.
The Los Angeles team started in all
right. Wright got his base on balls,
and scored on Tredway's three Dagger.
Tredway scored minute later on Glen
alvin's two-base hit to center field.
The Los Angeles captain was sent to
third base on McCauley's sacrifice hit,
and tailed on Hasamaear's sacrifice.
Three in the first venture was more
than good start. The Colonels re-
sponded with one. Smith got his base
on being hit by pitched ball, and stole
second. and went to the third bag on
O'Brien's sacrifc. Hardie sent a
sky scraper to Tredway, Smith
scoring on the throw. That was the
extent of Oakland's scoring until the
ninth, except one in the second.
In the meantime the Angels made
four more runs. One in the fourth,
two in the lucky sixth and one in the
ninth. In the fourth, Rogers reached
the initial on Hutchinson's error, Stat
ford followed with base hit. Wright
repeated the operation. Tredway sent
star-gazer to the center.felder, Rogers
scoring on the throw.
In the sixth the runs were scored in
this WISE Rogers led off with a hit
and our right-handed twirler, Jimmy
Stafford, sent the sphere over the left
field fence for home run, Rogers, of
course, scoring. Jimmy was given quite
an ovation. He was the first player of
the local team to make home run.
In the ninth, Glenalvin reached first on
smash that was trife too hot for
O'Brien to handle. McCauley got his
base by being hit by a pitched ball.
Hasamaear followed with hit which
filed the bases. 1t looked as if Los An
geles would score number of runs as
no one was out. Newman got his base
on balls, thus tallying Glenalvin. Then
followed circus play. Newman wan
dered too far off first and Carroll got
him Off the base. Newman made dash
for the second bag and Carroll followed
him up, at the same time watch
ing the man on third. McCauley,
who was third, made bluff
to 60 home at the same time
Carroll stepped few PAGES off the line
to make throw. In the meantime,
Newman, who was almost within a yard
of second base, rushed back, and Nc
Cauley did likewise. Carroll then
turned around to throw the ball to first
to head off Newman, but there was no
one there, and Newman got back safely.
"Statuesque" O'Neill should have COW
cred the initial, but he was posing. 1t
looked as if runs would come in by
battalions, but O'Neill did some splen-
did work. He struck out Hulen.
Rogers hit to Carroll, who headed off
McCauley at the plate. O'Neill then
struck Stafford out, thus getting the
Colonels out of big hole.
The pyrotechnics began in the Oak
land half of the ninth. and there was a
very anxious crowd of spectators. Car
roll got his base on balls. Bushman got
his initial on hunted ball. "Cousin"
Park Wilson smashed out two-bagger
just to show Cousin Dryden that he had
not lost his batting eye. Hutchinson
was caught out by Glenalvin.
Lohman hit slow one to Glenalvin,
who threw wildly to first, two Colonels
making the circuit. Another Colonel
scored on O'Neill's out. Little Smithy
came up and got his base on balls.
Another run came in on O'Brien's pop
up over Glenalvin's head. With man
on second and another on third it
looked mighty uncertain for the
locals, and more than one in the
audience held his breath when Hardie
came up. A two Dagger meant two runs
and victory. Hardie sent the sphere
heavenwards and it came down in the
sure hands of McCauley and the game
and agony were over.
Aside from the fact that Los Angeles
won, the game was good one. There
were quite few errors, but the number
OF good plays made compensated for
these. Rogers threw out of sigh t yes
terday, and his and Glenalvin's work
was Justify applauded. In the seventh
three of the Colonels went out in sue
cession trying to steal second. Wilson
tried it after making base hit, but was
nabbed. Bushman thought he was
speedier than Wilson, but he met the
same fate. Hutchinson tried the rifle
but was prettily captured by Glenalvin.
The cleverwork of the catcher and Sec
ond baseman was greatly appreciated by
the fans. Tredway, Hasamaear and
Stafford did the best stick work for the
home team. The score tells the story:
LOS ANG ELEs.
