Los Angeles herald., 1892-12-11
It WAS A vER|TABLE WATERLOO.
The Angels Unable to Hit the
Ball,
And a Little Loose Fielding Aided
Their Opponents.
A Contest That Was Very Much One
Sided-The Game In Detail-Pos-
sibility of One Game In
San Diego.

Anybody is liable to have an off day
at any time, but it is very seldom the
disease attacks ten men out OF possible
nine on the same day. Yet that is about
what happened to Count Vanderbeck's
champion baseball swatters yesterday
afternoon. 1t was genuine case OF
malaria, and the way the San jose play
ers took advantage of the situation was
a caution. Perhaps it is a little unjust
to say that all the local players were un-
der spell. Reference to the tabulated
score will show that several players
escaped with clean records. Hulen was
in great form, playing with vim and
precision. OF course, Pop McCauley
converted one wild throw into a clean
assist, but that is failing the
old gentleman has, and his admirers
have learned to overlook it in him.
Brown in center field also accepted his
one chance, while the game Lytle put
up in right feld was literally out of
sight. Had everyone else erred on every
chance offered, still his fielding would
have been perfect. So it is plain to be
seen that the Waterloo was not without
lte redeemlng features.
But as matter of fact the game was
an interesting one. if from no other
standpoint than to see how closely ill
luck and errors can follow one side
throughout nine innings; and right here
it might as we'll be stated that no break
occurred. The game was finished about
as it commenced.
McGucken, for the third time this
week, began the game with a base hit.
Everett followed with base on balls,
and before anyone could tell how it hap
pened q couple of wild pitches got
mixed up with as many passed balls and
McGucken scored. Dooley and Clark then
each found the ball for a single, Everett
scoring on the first one. Denny also
sent a single out to Tredway, who
fumbled it long enough to allow both
Dooley and Clark to score, and let
Denny take second base. The next
three men were out in order.
Again in the third inning the San
Joses piled up five ,uns on one hit and
errors. Dooley was the first man up,
aid he went down the path on a neat
single. A passed ball advanced him to
second and two bases on balls filled the
bag. Reitz hit one to Glenalvin, but
DhIuWlu th0 tDIUW, anu DUUlcy
scored. McVey also hit an esay one to
Jimmy and he fumhled it until it was
too late to catch Clark, but he
retired the batter at first. A
wild pitch scored Denny, and Stahtord's
error of Lookenbaughs bounder ad,
vanced Reltz peg. Then the ball went
into the air again, and when the dust
cleared off the bases were empty.
The victors also made two runs in the
fourth inning, two in the seventh, and
one more in the eighth after much the
same fashion.
The Angels got their tally in the fifth
inning. Baldwin reached first on an
error by Denny, and took third on a
passed ball and Knell's sacrifice. Then
Brown knocked an easy one, on which
Baldwin attempted to score, and while
the visitors were running him down be-
tween home and third base, Brown kept
on running and stopped at third. Jimmy
Stafford's single scored him.
The score follows:
