WON The GAME IN THE NINTH,
The Dukes Lose Their Seventh
Game.
Luck and Hard Batting Give the
Angels Victory.
Kids, Day at Athletic Park-A Game
They Thoroughly Enjoyed, And
80 Did the Grown
People.

There we're many kinds of ginger at
Athletic park yesterday afternoon. The
Angeles and the Dukes met for their
second game of the present series, and
the Dukes are still smartiug. Hiram
Buckram Ebright probably feels queerer
than ever.
Strange as it may seem, unaccount-
able as it is, the Dukes have been laid
low for seven games in row. A week
ago laet Sunday they defeated the San
Franciscos at the bay, but since then
they have been on the toboggan slide.
There were odds offered upon them for
yesterdays game, for everybody said
they-couldn't possibly lose the seventh
straight. There was much to support
Incorporation. How could they keep
on losing? Wasn't there luck in odd
numbers? Didn't it stand to reason
that there must be turn in the tide
some time?
Yes, of course. Why not? But. all
the same, the Angels took what luck
there was lying around loose on the dia-
smond, and absorbed the benefit OF the
mystic number seven, even.
The ginger in the game came from
several different quarters. A game of
ball with the Dukes is only hall game
when they can get no men on bases, 30
that Bill Everett and Buck .Ebright can
yell like Comanche Indians from the
coach line. The opening game Wednes-
day was dreamiy stupid to those specta-
tors who do not enjoy pitchers battle,
just for this reason; but yesterday it
was very much different. There were
fireworks from nine points OF the COM
pass, and the game was not out until
the last inning was concluded.
Both pitchers were touched up at
times, although Louis Balsz had little
the best ef the honors. Yet both
pitched good ball at critical times, and
steadied down wonderfully with, men on
bases. The first three innings were
blanks, and the game would have stood
to 0 at the end of the ninth but for
fielding errors.
In the fourth inning couple OF errors
gave San Jose as many runs. Everett
hit for a single, and was followed by
Denny with long fly to right-center.
After hard run for it Lytle muffed it,
and in fielding it to the plate, to head
off Everett, Glenalvin threw high; and
before the ball came back into play
Denny had also tailed.
The Angels made their first tally in
the sixth. Rasty hit safely and Tred-
way was given his base on balls. Nc
Cauley filed the bases with hit. Glen
alvin forced McCauley at second, but
Rasty scored on the play.
Again in the seventh the Angels tai
lied, and 90 tied the score. Hulen hit
safely, but was forced at second on
Balsz's little in-field tap. Stafford was
allowed to walk to first, and Tredway's
hit to right field scored the Los Angeles
pitcher.
But it was in the ninth inning that
the realfun took place. With one hand
out Louis found the ball for neat sim
gle. Stafford followed with bounder
between big Bill Everett's feet, and the
error was as good as a two-base hit.
Then Rasty hit the came kind of a ball
to Ebright, and the same kind of an
error scored both Balsz and Stafford.
Tredway.put the cap sheaf on the pro-
ceedings with double to left-center
that scored Wright.
The official score:
