THE DUKES ARE LUCKY AGAIN,
They Play Shut-out Ball
Against the Angels.
Harper Was Invincible and Hits
Were Scarce.
The San Joses Pound McNabb all Over
the Lot, and Errors by the Home
Team Produce iop-
sided Score.

The largest ladies' day crowd in many
weeks saw game of baseball at Ath
letic park yesterday afternoon that had
more distinct features than are usually
crowded into nine innings.
The grand stand was packed full ol
feminine loveliness in good clothes, an d
the bleachers had an extra large aggre.
cation OF lungs and diaphrams. Sound
lungs and well-acting diaphram will
produce great deal of noise, and that
combination worked to perfection yes
terday afternoon. The assistance this
afforded to Mr.. Manassau, umpire, was
OF itself a distinct feature; although
Just how helpful it all was to the umpire
could probably better be told by that
individual than anyone else.
Then there was some excuse for part
OF the noise. One or two decisions were
very rank, and If Mr.. Manassau, UNI
pire, lives to be twice centenarian he
will never learn how to make his
authority carry it's due weight. No
person in quasi official position can
expect TO have his outgivings treated
with respect who begins declaration
of authority with "say |" and winds
it up with "see!' 1t may be the
correct thing among a certain tough
element of society or street Arabs, but
ordinarily it sounds weak.
Another distinct feature was an alter
cation between Mr.. Manassau, umpire,
and the bleachers, in which the former
started with large percentage of reason
on his side OF the question. But, to all
appearances, he came out second best.
Under threat of stopping play and
awarding the game to San Jose, the UNI
pire demanded the removal OF the noisy
element from the beachers. After the
usual amount of wrangling, the game
proceeded, and diaphrams went into
quarantine.
Another distinct feature of the game,
was the pitching OF Harper. He was
invincible. With men on bases, hit
was out of the question, and only three
hits were made from his delivery during
the game. Another feature was the way
the Dukes lit upon the delivery of ''Pe-
ter Nab" He was hit hard and often,
but still he simply smiled and kept at
work. Finally, in the sixth inning, the
fusiilade became too terrific, and STAT
ford went in and finished ths game.
In the initial attempt San Jose piled
up three talles on foar hits AND two
errors. McVey singled and Everett fol-
lowed him with double. In fielding
the ball back to the diamond it e'uded
the grasp OF several players, and McVey
scored. Ebright then hit for single,
and sent Everett across the plate. The
Dukes captain forwith proceeded to
steal second and third, coming home on
the high throw of Baldwin to catch him
at the latter bag.
Mr.. Manassau, umpire so-called, pre-
sented the Dukes with q run in the
third inning. With one man out Dooley
hit to Hulen, who threw him out fairly
at first. Mr.. Manassau, umpire, took a
different view of it. and called him SAFE
McGucken followed him with a hit, and
Denny's sacrifice scored Unhappy Joe.
The sixth inning was a corker, Nc
Quicken started off with triple. Denny's
single scored Joseph. Clark followed
with q home-run drive over Rasty's
head sending in Denny ahead of him.
Harper singled and Stallinas got to fret
on bunt that McCauley felded wildly.
McVey then raped out single, and
lot of wild throwing cleared the bases.
Then there was a change in the box,
Good Boy Jimmy went in to pitch, and
the inning was soon finished.
The tale OF woe in words and figures
Ia aa fallowa.
