The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1893-06-12
TWO IN ONE DAY.
Los Angeles Won Both of
the Games.
MAKING ONE GRAND FINISH.
McCauley's Hickory Bat Was Broken,
but He Smashed wo-Bagger
and Won the Game.

terday, as near as could be judged from
Appearances In the morning he paid a
visit to Oakland along with his band of
Angelic ball players and passed the time
very pleasantly indeed. He was watching
his employees winning the game from Oak
land.
In the afternoon he might have been
seen at the Haight-street grounds between
the hours of and enjoying repetition
of the mornings performance.
There were others besides Mr.. Lindey
who enjoyed the two games of baseball
yesterday. Aside from Colonel Geischen,
who can't be expected to relish two defeats
in one day, and few cranks who call the
games good only when their side wins,
everybody who saw either game yesterday
enjoyed the sight.
Both games were brilliant. The after
noon game was exceptionally so. The
morning game was won from the start.
The afternoon game was puzzle until the
last play was over. Hutchinson solved the
puzzle with a fly TO Unhappy Joe Nc
Quicken that let in the winning run.
For FIVE innings in the middle of the
afternoon game neither side made a run
This interval was marked by some genu-
inc shut-out ball playing where three men
come MP in q row, expecting to do Won
ders. and 90 back 10 the bench to specu-
late for while on the uncertainty of lite
in the far West.
Los Angeles made neither a run nor a
hit during these five innings. Oakland
made three hits, but they came at remote
intervals and produced nothing but vain
hopes.
There was a time-it was during the
last of the third inning, when Los Auge-
l,a of I'm ffaar,
1t seemed as if nothing could save the day
for the s0uthernerS.
Old Pop McCauley's bat had been
broken. 1t was the bat that was pre-
sented to him by Andrew Jackson on his
thirtieth birthday and was made #
hickory. jackson was known as "Od
Hickory" ever after that and Pop thought
more of that bat than he does of any of
mis- grandchildren.
But it ran up against a corkscrew curve
delivered by Professor Griffith and was
rent in twain. 4 small boy lugged 1t off
the grounds in two sections, and as it was
being borne out through the side gate a
tear dropped silently from Pops eye and
he never was the same Pop until the game
was nearly over.
He picked up one of the ordinary bats
in the third, just after the catastrophe. and
sized it up eOntemptuously. He toyed
with it like Zulu chief might with a
wooden toOthpick. When the ball came
up his way he swung the little plaything
around and it met tie ball and sent it out
quite few yards back of where Collopy
stood. Collopy quickly ran to the spot
and gathered in the foul with one hand
very clever thing to do, by the way.
Pop manfully restrained his tears, and
later he slammed out tw0-bagger with
one of the toys that his colleagues use to
bat with, and that two-bagger really Won
the game.
When the exercises opened Oakland was
at the bat BorcherS had given Irwin
base on balls and was sending up few
bad ones to Unhappy McGucken.
Presently one sailed over the plate and
caught the fancy of McGuckeu. He
swiped it out Il suugh: the confines of
the lot and ere its flight was checked Un-
happy Joe had safely reached the plate.
The cheers for that home run were loud
ana long.
Hines took base on balls after that and
Earle followed with single Earle was
forced out at second on a hit by Callopy to
Buck Hughes. Hernon followed with a
single scoring Hines. Callopy got in when
Genalvin failed 10 hold ball thrown by
Borchers when Hernon was stealing sec
ond.
What with Oaklaud's hitters sending
out home runs ana singles and those sort
of things and Glenalvin failing to hold
balls thrown squarely into his hands,
things were looking hay for Los Angeles.
They didn't brighten Up much in the last
half either. Wright got a start through
Twins tumble and second on single by
Hulen. Hutchinson singled later and
brought in the run, but was caught in the
act of stealing second himself.
Getting another bunch of three in the
second came somewhat harder for Oak
land.
A muff of Cody's high fly by Hutchinson
started the first run. Grifith's single
helped it to second, and McGucken 5
single brought it in. Griffith brought in
an earned run on Hines single. The
second earned run was brought IN by Me-
Quicken on Earle's fly out to hutchinson.
Callopy closed down operations in this
inning by sending line drive into Hulen'S
outstretched palms.
The two that Los Angeles secured in the
last of the second came easy enough.
Lytle's double swatlet opened the package
wide. Lehman singled and Lyle adj
yanced one peg. He finished the circuit
on a drive that Buck Hughes sent to Earle
straight down the path. Stopping the ball
and placing one foot on the bag so flus-
trated Earle that he forgot to send the
ball home in time to intercept Lyte.
Wright singled and let Lohman score,
and that was all of the inning worth
mentioning.
The bali playing done in the following
five innings was simply perfect. During
1t all, Oakland gained one single tally.

the sixth, and scored on a double by
Griffith.
Two remarkable double PLAYS we're made
by Los Angeles, each one of them made
possible by the work of Kid Hulen at
short.
Los Angeles broke no less than six bats
during this interesting stage of the game,
but broken bats don't figure in the sum-
mary, and that's what tells the tale.
The score stood z to when Oakland was
done with its half of the eighth. Los
Angeles pulled three TALES out of the re-
naming half by herculean efforts.
Hughes got tally all on errors. Grit.
fith's wild throw to first gave him a life
An error by Cantilllon let him to third
and he scored on the throw in from
Wrght's fly to Hines fines threw the
ball to the wrong individual, SO excited
was he.
Borchers started with a single. He ad-
vanced on Cantillon's error and took third
on Hulen's single. He scored on a fly tC
Hernon from Pop McCauIey's bat. Her
non muffed the fly. Glehalvln singled and
brought in Hulen.
Then the score was to Z in favor Of
Oakland.
The ninth Melted Oakland two runs.
They came almost entirely on errors ant
without hits. Irwin got base on balls
McGncken hit to Hughes. Hughes
threw the ball wild past first base anC
Irwin scored and McGucken went to third
Hines sacrificed him over the plate.
