called the game on account Of darkness,
the cranks cheered both teams, and we'll
they deserved recognition from the spec
tators.
TWO GREAT TEAMS.
San Jose put forth the same strong
team that they did on Sunday. There
were several changes in the make up Of
the Los Angeles nine. Darby was in
the pitchers box instead of Knell;
Rappold caught instead of Dohman.
There was also change in the outfeld,
DUNCAN playing left, while Smith was
in the right garden, McAleer not play
ing. Los Angeles opened up, but they

up with run. Hanley reached fret on
hard hit ball, which the pitcher could
not negotiate, and stole second
on Everetts hit. 1t looked
as If the visitors were good for couple
more, but Jack Fogarty cut off the sus
pense by making sensational catch.
Los Angeles was out in one, two, three
order in their second venture, but the
visiting ball players showed their graft
tude by smashing out another run.
"Jiggs" Parrott did the trick with his
little bat. 1t was the last run made by
San Jose on that eventful afternoon.
LOS ANGELES SCORES.
Los Angeles broke the ice in the fifth.
Fogarty led off with "prize- package
two-bagger, then Rappold came to the
rescue. He saw Fogarty's hand and
went one better, thus bringing Fogarty
in, much to the delight Of the spectators.
FLED IN THE NINTH.
The game stood to in favor OF San
Jose until the ninth then the little run
that the admirers of the home team had
been praying for came, and it was lucky
for the visitors that our boys did not
make it two. Smith at once won his
way into popular favor by smashing out
a two -bagger. The suspense was very
trying on the nerves when "Dunnie"
stepped up to the plate. He sent the
sphere heavenward. but the alert lett
fielder of the San Joses gobbled it up.
Then luck at last aided Los Angeles.
Decker smashed out skyscraper. 1t
came down in Dooley's territory, but
he oh &c
delight went up as the ball was dropped
plate. With two on bases and only one
out, the San Joses cut off the second run
by their steady play.
TEN INNINGS.
"a ten inning game" remarked the
people in the grand stand. Los Angeles
was out in one, two, three order in their
venture. Little Darby was not to be
denied. First he struck Tanning out.
The crowd cheered. He treated Nc
Quicken likewise and there was more
cheering. Everett few out to Fogarty,
and the eleventh inning began. Hassa-
mer reached first on fielder's error.
Smith came up and everyone hoped and
prayed for little sacrifice hit. He tried
to make two bagger, however, but the
hit was splendldly caught by Nc
Quicken. "Dunny' made base hit.
Then both he and Hassamer stole a
base in the most approved style and
there was more cheering. With only
one man out and man on second and
third it looked as if Los Angeles would
make a run. Tanning saw that he was
in tight place and ne dashed them
over the plate that Decker had three
rk...I- i1I IL, NO. -ks
hope. Hulin was still left. He had
two strikes called ON him, but he
pasted the next ball to short stop.
Hassamer made dash for the home
plate, and the excitement reached a
fever heat. The short stop made an
electrical throw to first. 1t was close
call and many thought that Hulin was
safe, but the umpire called him out,
much to the chagrin OF the shouters for
the home club.
The San Joses were disposed of in
rapid order in their half. Dooley was
caught out by Hulin. 'Cousin" Park
Wilson made hit to right field, but
was soon after cleverly captured while
trying to steal second, Rappold sending
the sphere down in fine style. Sharp
reached first, but was put out for turn
ing the wrong way.
THE TWELFTH INNING.
There was buzz of expectancy when
the Los Angeles team began their
twelfth venture. 1t was soon over, Fan
ning's pitching being simply irresistible.
San Jose led off with Parrott. He
lined it out to Fogarty as if sent by a
gun from Chilean man-of-war. 1t was
too hot for Fogarty and ''Jiggs" got
first. Spies got his base on being hit
by the ball and affairs began to look
blue for Los Angeles. With one man
out and man on third the sphere was
hit to Hulin. He threw high to Decker
but the first baseman jumped up and
grabbed the ball ana sent it flying to
Rappold to head off Spies at the home
plate. 1t came in the nick OF time and
the double play ahut out the run amidst
the greatest excitement and enthusiasm.
1t was claimed that Rappold dropped
the ball, but the general opinion was
that he held it long enough to consti-
tute catch. The score:
LOS ANGELES.
