other.
Ebrlght said he would protest the game,
and big Bill Everett walked around with his
! lower lip hanging down so far that he was
in danger of stepping on it. But 1t was a
wonderful play, and Jggs is deserving OF
special mention.
JIGGs' NEW EXPERIENCE.
-Four of the original Portlands have left
the team during The last week, but Glen
alvin need not desp as long as Tom Par
r0tpS brother, Jiggs, remains. The agile
Jiggs says he will stick to the team until lie
Is told to 90.
In the meantime Jiggs goes on acquiring
valuable experience in other walks of lie.
he is now one ahead of his brother Tom,
who sailed for Portland last week, with a
whole cargo Of valuable Information picked
up in the large cities of California.
Jiggs' latest adventure occurred on New
Years day, when II was too wet to play
ball. In the afternoon Jiggs took ride on
a MaTket-Street car. AT Powell street an
old gentleman boarded the same car and
soon struck up conversation with the Port
land youth.
Ii IS wonderful" remarked the old man,
I" how far Ierson can ride in the San Fran
cisco street-cars for a nickel"
Yes, observed Jiggs in great surprise.
90 Now for instance on the old
man, l started at North Beach, paid
nickel. took a transfer at Market, and can
ride clear out to the park without paying
again"
" You don't say sO!'
It's fact"
THAT beats me-" said Jiggs. 81 started
from the ferries, and when the conductor
came in and said fare | gave him cents.
| Pretty soon he yelled fare again, and l
! handed HIM another nickel Every little
/ while when the car stopped the conductor
! would come in and shout fare and paid
! him.
"Lemme see, now" thoughtfully re-
/ marked JiggS, cOuntnLs up on his fingers,
| " IL has cost me 50 cents TO come this lar,
| and l don't know how l am going 20 get
| back"
With a panied expression in his kindly
| blue eyes the old man silently pressed a
| half-dollar into Jiggs' freckled hand and
! then left the CT.
RESUMED UNDER PROTEST.
II was several minutes before the excite
! ment died down and play was resumed.
! Buck and his associates refused to believe
that three OF their lumber had perished az
| one fell Swoop. StalIings, who was on first
| when the cyclone struck the camp, went
| speeding around the bases with evident de-
| signs on the home plate. As lie was turn

| neglected IN the middle Of the diamond, and
covered the home plate. By this time Stall
! hDgS discovered that something was wrong,
so ne Immediately left the reservation and
went to dancing with the rest
No doubt it was somewhat Of a shock to
! be clicked OF so suddenly, but after little
| wrangllng the Dukes consented TO proceed,
/ after filing a protest, Both sides wiggled
! through an inning without breaking the tie,
but IN the eighth Ebright got round with
/ what was thought to be the winning run.
Buck opened with a single 10 left, RetZ
| damned one to right and Spies sacrificed.
! Stallings hunted one in front Of the plate,
! which McNaOb got, but Buck slid under
! him and was safe. Ire noise was 50 great
! that the audience could not hear the UNI
! pire's decision, but the people should have
| known that Hiram Buckram Ebright had
/ laid tally from the fact that lie didn't kick.

MCNa6b was first up lie let two good
| ones go by, butSWiPed the next one IN the
forehead for three bases. Cousin Park was
| coaching at first " Ell this hit occurred and
! he followed Big Pete 10 second, urging him
/ to 20 faster. L00kabaugh hit Lytie, who
| stole second, and he and McNabb scored on
| GleralviH's single TO rght Glen took sec

| hauled him back to the bag. lie didn't pro-
/ pose TO take any chances.
| Moiz was given a base and Shea struck
| out again. SPIES dropped the third strike
! and MotZ sprinted for second. The ball
was thrown to Reitz in time, but he failed
! to touch the runner, thinking il was force
| play. LANCE forced Work at the plate and
fell down on the way to first, but managed
| 10 get there in time.
Wilson hit fly to Rpitz, which he tried to
| pull down with one hand, but the scheme
did not work and MOtz scorei the fourth
and last run in the Garrison finish. Parrot
was given his base, but McNabb ended the
! play with grounder to Big Bill.
In the Dukes last chance, Sharp was
| thrown out at first, Genalyin making IA
| fine pickup. LOOkabaugh turned his bat
end for end and struck out, BlOckers singled
| and Everett was safe at first on PARROTS
bad throw. JiggS cannot be perfect all the
| time.
Ebright had put on his coat, but took il
| off again long enough to hit foul fly 10
| Cousin Park, who made pretty catch close
up to thesstand. The teams play again next
| Thursday, either at Haight street or San
