been awarded the protested Los Angeles
Oakland was triAe premature, cohse-
quently Los Angeles is given credit for
tho game in the above standing. We
cannot afford being robbed out of a
herd-earned victory. In this connec-
tion the following from the Examiner
strikes the nail on the head:
An opinion was received from Presi-
dent Young that Oakland had good
grounds fer protest of game at Los An
geles. The matter will be finally dis
posed OF at meeting of the league 70 be
held next Monday evening. This ia the
game that Uncle said had been taken
away from Los Angeles, but your dear
old Uncle Henry was just triEe pre-
vious, and he is still little ehysof first
place. Even if the league does give the
= game to Oakland Uncle will not be any
winner, as Les Angeles has protested
game played on the Oakland grounds
before that old barn was removed, and
if the sawed off end of lot OF open
seats projecting into fair ground is suf-
ficient to throw out q game, then two
story barn, with chicken-coop and pig
pen attachment occupying a eection of
the outfield, ought to be cause for
similar decision.
not realize 1t, but they can take this for
a pretty safe tip: The public does not
care rap about a championship won or
lost by protested game. People want
to see teams fight it out on thefeld, and
the sooner the managers stop their
childish methods OF protesting games
on mere technicalities the more people
will they have at the games"

Assuming that Los Angeles is not rob-
bed of the,one to nothing game, either
the San Jose or San Francisco clubs
will have to win 3 big per centage of the
next ten games to defeat Los Angeles.
San Jose and San Francisco will have
bitter fight. Both teams have fight
ing chance to capture the fret half.
This is good for Los Angeles as there
will be no aiding or abetting during the
coming week at all events. Either San
Jose or Sam francisco will have to win
three more games than Los Angeles. If
the locals win five out of the ten games,
they will about land the first season.
Three with Oakland and two with San
Jose will about do the trick.

Clarkson won eight of the sixteen
games he pitched for Boston, yet the
king was released. Just wait till King
.tClarkson pitches against the Bostoni-
ans. Strike 'souts will be the erder of
tthe day.
In the twenty inning game recently
played between Cincinnati and Chicago
DUNCAN and yAnson made one half the
base hits registered by Chicago. The
santa Ana boy got in two two-baggers.
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, in
discussing the game, says:
'grhe, game yesterday between the
Red and Chicagos broke the league rec
ord. 1t was the longest game ever
played between two league teams. The
eighteen-inning game between Provi-a
dence and Detroit was more remark
able contest than the one of yesterday,
for isinele run decided the game.
yesterday would baye lasted, for the
pitchers of both teams seemed to I'm
prove as the contest heightened out.
Gladiator Browning.dost the game Tor
the Reds when he failed to score on
Smith's fly to left, and then he eaved it
in the nineteenth inning, when he
made the splendid running catch Of
Cooney's fly ball, holding DUNCAN at
third base. Pete also made fine catch
far out lin right center. The ball was
hit by Wlmot, the first batter up in theI|
inning, and if the Gladiator had missed 4
it the chances are the visitors would l
have won she game out in the seven
teenth inning. Captain Comiskey
wanted to continue the game to finish,
bat Uncle Anson hadn't the,courage to
play anothersinning."

at the present writing there are
twelve men under contract to the Los
Angeles club. The signing of Pat Lytle
means that some one will be let out.
Lytle is an outplsyer. 1t looks as if we
had a eufficiency of outplayers jHst at |
present and lamentable lack of catch |
ing materials defect that has been |
very constly in the past month. New
man is etill in Los Angeles. He Gays |
that he as now ready to catch, but he |
has not heard word from San Fran |
cisco. Rogers is doing his best to get
his arm in condition. He is now laid /
off without pay. In the meantime, the /
receiving end is being attended to by |
Gentle Willie. 1t is rumored that Los |
Angeles will shortly have brand new |
catcher. This may be idle gossip. how
ever. AT all events, something is heard |
TO drop in the very near future.
