If Los Angeles has team next sea

which lave become familiar were much
used.
There was not great amount OF gin.
ger in the game, although it'was two
to one contest. San jose managed to
hit Peter McNabb with great regularity,
although by careful fielding the hits
were kept down, and they only beat Los
Angeles in the ninth inning by sending
the home team out in in one, two, three
order, thus ending the game by q
straight mark OF one in their favor.
San Jose secured q run in the first
inning. with two men out. McGucken
and Everett had retired at fret, when
Mr.. u oley hit hot one to Peter Nab,
who thought be bad plenty OF time. and
held the ball little too lcng, throwing
wild to Pop McCauley, who could not
connect with the bag in time to catch
the runner. Then CLARK hit safe to left,
bringing Dooley in. Denny hit pretty
Ay to center, but Brown was tnere, ana

pop M to the pitcher, Hulen took first
on four balla, and was brought home by
Baldwin. who lined out hot one to
center field. Peter Nab went out on lit
tie fly. and Brown on fly to center.
Neither eide scored in the third in
ming. although there were some ambi
tious hits that would have let some one
cross the plate if the fielding had not
been first class.
San Jose made their second run in
the fourth, after reti,ipg the Angels in
short order, in spite of besutI.ul hit
bv Glenalvin down the lett foul line.
San Jose should not haveEhad the run,
but it came by one of those unsupported
plays which NAV always be looked for
In the game. Denny had gone out on q
foul to Baldwin, who made a splendid
running catch. McVey hit eafe for fret,
and Lookabaugh hit to "Good Boy
Jimmy" at short, who fell down after in
some marvellous manner having held
the ball. In his endeavor to head off
Lookabaugh at first Jimmy fipped the
ball back toward left field, Lookabaueh
getting fret and McVey third. ReitE
came 10 the bat, and when Lookabsueh
tried to steal second Baldwin threw TO
second. Stafford, curiously enough. got
right in front of second and made
dive for the ball, but missed it clear. 1t
paesed Gleralvin, " no was bothered 10y
Jimmy's play, and McVey went home.
San Jose came near making another run,
but DeWald having hit to Glenalvin,
who was playing close in, he threw
Lookabaugh out at the plate. retiring
the eide, and leaving McGucken still at
the bat.
This ended the run-getting Of the
game. There was considerable hitting
hut ,he hits were not punched in such
q way that they counted.
The crowd believed the Angels bad
chance in the ninth, but they were mis-
taken. Glenalyin hit stinger to Ev--
erett at ehort, who fumbled 1t, and
"Glen" took Hrst. Lytle then hit a
high fly to Mcvey in deep center, and
was caught out. McVey made fine
throw to first and doubled Glenalvin.
Hulen died at fret, and the game WAS
over. .,.
Afterwards there was some exhibition
long throwing. in which Tredway. Bill
Everett and Reitz participated. Tired
vay proved an easy winner, making q
magnificent throw from way out in the
right field to the fence near the kinder
garten.
