ing the fourth one Of the series for him. San
Francisco made sixteen runs in four

about sixteen runs in four innings, but the
difficulty was chiefly in the lack of effective
pitching on the part OF the orange-growers
of the sunny south.
Mr. NtcOl made his first appearance before
a San Francisco audience. and the supposi-
ton is that his supply of nerve gave out
under the strain. Anyhow he sent up balls
that either kept shy of the plate or else
came in violent contact with the bat. Six
hits were made off him in the first two in
ninGs and after that Bor chers was substl-
tuted Ncol is a young pitcher, and re-
markably good one, when he can keep his
supply of nerve on tap. but yesterday was
Nyidently his day for an attack of nervous
pr0stration.
BOrchers might have won The game for
Los Angeles if he had been in for the entire
game, though it is not probable. After his
induction into the game San Francisco made
SIX runs and Los Angeles eEed out four, all
in an inning. For five innings Borchers
held the San Francisco swatmakeTs down TO
two hits and no runs.

Lobman let 90 OF a terrible swift one

spectacle OF Glenalvin In the act OF putting
man out at second. Perhaps he would
have done so too. but the bail never got To
GienalYIn, It struck Borchers fair and
square on the pate, and caromed over to
Hulen. W hen it struck there was a re-
sounding thud like that made by s pile

The audihnce held its breath. expecting

Opening the first inning Maguire hit to
third ana beat out the throw. He went to
second on a hit by Ebright and scored on
CarroPs single to short center. Ebright

and scored on ShRrp's hit 10 NicoL Power
ana Spies retired the side at first.
Los Angeles got one IN the last half.
Wright, otherwise known as 'Rasty," the
strong man, smashed the kinks out of a
singled one in CarrOl's playground and
was thrown ont at second. McCauley
fuuled out to hnell. Hutchinson got his
base on balls aud Glenalvin flew out to
WORK.
The first half of the second was one of
the most eyenttul, and, in many respects,
rusillanimous, innings that you will come
across IN one snort lifetime. 1t was chuck

seven runs, three base hits and large and
varied assortment of disgust
Reuben Levy led of the grand march with

which was fumbled. knell also came in
during this exercise. Ebright got his base

Papa to plck. Spies scored by getting a

In the seventh Los Angeles added four to
