The visitors had their world-famous
luck with them, and won the game in
the ninth inning. after two men had
been retired. The game was most
exciting one. The San Joses went off
with the lead, but were passed by the
local team on the home stretch. The
Dukes were not to be denied, however,
and came with big rush right at the
finish and snatched out a victory right
under the wire, much to the chagrin of
the admirers of the Angels, who had
figured on a victory after the sixth in.
