Won IT IN ONE INNING.
The Dukes Take a Game
From the Locals.
PECK SHARP WAS TO BLAME.
After Two Men Had Been Retired Peck Muffei
Fly and Eve Runs Were Scored
in Bunch

If any individual ever conceived the in
correct notion that interest ia baseball is on
the waDe in this section OF the country he
should have visited the Haight-street
grounds yesterday afternoon and watched
the 1000 people which thickly populated the
stands and bleachers follow every step in
the proceedings of the game with ever
increasing interest and vociferous applaud
ing of individually good plays as they oc-
CURED.
The visiting Garden City boys redeemed
themselves from the stigma of Thursday
defeat by making five runs, none OF which
were earned. however, and nine base hits,
holding Hanks boys down to three little
runlets and like number of hits.
Tanning occupied the box, and, although
the local team were made to bite the dust
he still did very careful work, none of the
Dukes reaching first OH balls.
The close OF the afterno on's work on the
other hand saw bases on balls called on
Twister Lookabaugh TO the lively rate of
four. Those only away down deep in the
mysteries of baseball can reasonably ex-
plain why team can win one day with a
score of to 3 and the next day lose with
the score reversed.
The Dukes whaled out five runs in the
second inning and the Metropoltans swiped
the ball to the lively tune of three in the
sixth inning. Not another run was scored
in the game.
III the blame for defeat can be laid at
any ones door it must be al that of Second
baseman Sharp, who made most palpable
and sckenlng muff of one of Lookabough's
nice perpendicular swats, allowing that
gentleman TO reach the first cushion. Two
men we're already out. Clark had raped
out an easy grounder to Petey Sweeney,
who sent it to first and killed him, and
McVey had made a gentle little tap to
Tanning, who caused McVey likewise TO
Gle at first. Denny had made two Dagger
and was on second awaiting developments
when Club weder Look bough made his
usual exercise hit and Sharp mutfed it.
Harper came to the bat and lambasted
the ball away TO the fence, making home
run and bringing in Denny and Looka-
b0ugh ahead of him. MeGucken made a
double and Everett beat the ball to first
making hit, when Ebright made two
cushion swat, bringing both McGueken and
Everett home. Ebright was hoggish, how
ever, and in trying to make his two-cushion
rap do for triple got put out at third.
The three runs OF the locals were started
on their way by Everett throwing short to
Dooley on Cantillion's grOander, permitting
him to make first safe. Levy reached first
through Ebright's tumble. Sharp got 10
first. and Cantilllon camein Spies plunked
out, repeating his great strike-out act OF the
fourth inning, and Hanley made safe hit,
and Sharp, who had stolen second, came 10.
ReitZ reached first on balls and Pete
Sweeney made a safe bit, and both were
left on bases when Tanning retired the team
by Lookabaugh putting him out at first.
These three lonesome tallies were all they
made. though they made valiant efforts to
recover lost ground.
To-day the same teams will play again at
the Haight-street grounds. The fastest
kind OF ball Is expected, and no donbt tho
usual Saturday afternoon crowd will be in
attendance. Game will be called at P. NJ
