Baseball Notes.
He was alone in his glory.

He was alone in his glory.
Like the lone fisherman in Evange-
line.
He was stranger from the alfalfa dis
trict, but he had the whole kindergarten
bleachers to himself.
He only occupied one solitary seat,
however, on the extreme end but he was
observed by everybody.
The stranger wore billed shirt and
was protected from the SUMS rays by an
umbrella.
In one pocket was noticed copy of
the HERALD with an account of the
thirteen inning game.
He also came armed with tin horn.
q bottle of ''eojer water" and a voice
that would do duty for a calliope in q
circus parade.
Well, the stranger had more fun to
the square yard than everybody else at
the ball game.
He was fan from way back and the
way he rooted for Los Angeles just
double discounted either John Brink or
Digby Bell in their palmiest days.
e. In fact, the lone rooter and his bugle
blasts on q 1O-cent fish horn made more
than one person laugh.
The stranger unloaded bushel of
witty remarks during the game, and
Manager Van Derbeck should loose no
time in getting the man from the rural
district on his pay roll.
He is whole show in himself and he
managed to keep the grand-stand in
good nature throughout the entire con-
test. :.
Virtue is it's own reward,
The phenomenally brilliant game
played Friday by the Los Angeles and
San Francisco teams, drew out an un-
usually large crowd Yesterday after
noon.
And those who saw the game were
well rewarded, for the home team won
hands down.
There were q number of brilliant fea-
lures in the game to keep up the ex-
element, and as it was shut-out for the
, visitors until the eighth inning, that
fact alone kept the fans on tender
hooks.
There was plenty of sensational bat
ting also, and at least one man of the
local team had all his swat parapher-
MALTA with him.
That very individual started the game
with a rattling two-bagger. His name
is Stafford. He was sacrificed to third,
and after McCauley had been given first
on called balls, 'Glenalvin hit to center
for three bases, sending in the other
two base-runners, and scoring on the
play that should have stopped him at
third ,Nhad not Peoples thrown wildly.
The second, third and fourth innings
were unproductive of runs, although in
the third, Good Boy Jimmy lined the
sphere out for three bases and over, but
was thrown out at the plate while trying
to stretch it into home run.
In the last half of the fourth Tredway
shut off run by difficult running
catch of fly near the foul line, off
Reitz's bat.
But in the fifth inning the Angels
added two to their score. Hulen took
first on hit and was sacrificed to sec
ond by Balsz. Hoffman was evidently
afraid of Stafford, for he allowed him to
walk to first. Then Rasty touched the
ball up for couple of pieces of canvas,
and Hulen and Stafford crossed the
plate.
1t looked very much like run or two
for the visitors in their half Levy and
Peoples both hit safely, and with two
hands out the bases were filled with
four wild ones to P. Sweeney. But the
best Sharp could do was pop fly over
Hulen's head, which the kid sprinted
for and pulled down.
A difficult stop and cannon ball throw
by Stafford shut the San Franciscos out
in the sixth also, and in the seventh
Sure Pop McCauley duplicated the per-
fcrmance.
In the eighth the Angels scored one
on base hit by Rasty, a wild pitch, a
sacrifice and a passed ball.
Then the visitors scored for the first
time intwenty-o consecutive inningsin
the pasttwo days. After Hanley wentout
at first, Reitz was given his base, and
Levy followed with hit. Spiespopped
up fly to Glenalvin, but Peoples lined
out one past Rasty for three sections of
coarse cloth, scoring Reits and Reuben.
The last half of the ninth inning was
productive of another tally for San
Francisco, on a two-base hit by Sharp
and singles by D. Sweeney and Hanley.
" The official score follows:
