There was an old time crowd at the
Athletic grounds, yesterday afternoon,
and there was whole lot OF bottled-up
enthusiasm when both mines appeared
on the diamond. The crowd came ex-
pecting great game, and they were
not doomed to disappointment. The
game was a great one from start to end.
The pennant winners came up with a
Garrison rush at the finish, and turned
defeat into brilliant victory. The
crowd cheered, but the admirers of
the home team went home a little
crestfallen, as victory should have
perched on the banner of the home
team. Luck favored the visiting COM
bination in more than one instance.
The most exacting crank could not
kick over the game, however. The play
ers who made mistakes redeemed them
selves in great style before the end Of
the game. Los Angeles opened up by
getting in run. McAleer reached first
on sacrifice, went to second on wild
throw over Dooley's head and reached
third on wild pitch. DUNCAN got his
base on balls, and while an attempt was
made to capture DUNCAN at second, Nc
Aleer scored and the crowd yelled and
looked happy. They appeared to be
happier still when the visitors were re-
tired in short order Then followed
series of whitewashes. By an electrical
piece of fielding San Jose cut off
a run in the fourth. DUNCAN was on
third and Hulin hit hard to second.
who just managed to get the sphere to
Dooley in the nick ofgtime.
The visitors made their first run in
the fifth. Lohman was huffy on ac-
count of the umpire declaring him out
at third for running out of line In the
Los Angeles half, and in consequence
be let two balls pass him, Wilson in
consequence reaching third. "Cousin"
Wilson scored little later ON Hulin's
muff of Parrott's Portland pat. This
was Hulin's first error in a long while,
but it was a costly one.
Los Angeles got in another run in
the eighth. 1t happened in this
wise: Lohman reached first on
being hit by the pitcher. Knell
came to the rescue with little sacri-
fee hit and Lohman scored on Good
enough's two-bagger. This pleased the
crowd, and they cheered and cheered
again. 1t looked as if the visitors
might score in their eighth venture.
men out big Bill Everett came up, but
Knel1s struck him out in style. and a
sigh of relief went up from the crowd.
The score at the end of the eighth stood
2 to / in favor of Los Angeles, and it
looked as if our men had taken the
Dukes into camp. Los Angeles was
out in one, two, three order in the
ninth.
Hundreds Of people asked themselves
the question, Twill San Jose score ?'
The crowd got nervous and impatient.
Dooley came up to bat. He got his
base on balls. There were many who
thought that Holiday was away off on
balls, and that the one that gave Dooley
first was clearly a strike. Dooley stole
second. Wilson hit hard to Hassamer,
who made great stop, but it was next
to impossible to save base hit, Dooley
going to third. Wilson stole second.
The excitement at this point was at
fever heat. A safe hit meant two runs
and victory for San Jose. Sharp
popped the sphere up to Fogarty and
the second baseman, nothing 10th, ac-
cepted it. Parrott came up and the
crowd held its breath. The Port
lander drove the sphere high
in the air, but Goodenough
was under it and the cranks felt that it
was safe. All eyes were on Dooley at
third. He made dash Tor the home
plate and Goodenough threw to the
homer plate. The crowd rose up in
their seats and watched the play with
breathless suspense. A cry goes up as
the ball whizzes past Lohman, with no
one to back him up, and not only does
Dooley score, but Wilson comes in, thus
winning the game by score OF to 2
for the San Joses. The score:
Los ANGELES.
