THE MORNING GAME.
Swift 1t Was and Full of Ginger and
Hits,

captain EDrlRnt OF your Uncly Henry
company of ball-players used enough GIN
ger In the game yesterday morning at
Piedmont to have lasted bakeshop year.
Several other noted gentlemen also drew
coplously on their reserve supply of
ginger
The result Of this was stirring gam e
that deserved a larger outpouring of the
populace than it received by several out
pOurs.
When the under side can slam out two
lone runs, double and two singles In one
inning toward the fag end OF game the
effort deserves recognition above the or
binary.
That is what Henry's players did over
there at Piedmont in the last half of the
eighth inning ana four runs came of it,
dragging the side u out of the mire ONTO
nigh ground But they slid back on the
ninth and stuck there.
There was display OF animated ball
playing from the start. Especially TO bust
were the hits.
Henry was slightly handicapped from
the start by the absence of Peck Sharr
from his accustomed haunts around second
oaae. A substitute appeared IN the person
of one Fitzgerald, who was stationed In
left field. while Ebright played at second
ami Carroll at third.
Fitzgerald had no opportunity TO display
his talent in the field. but at the bat he
was IS useless and out of place as nddler
at Quaker funeral.
Louie BalsZ, poor detected oyer-worked
Louie, mani ulated the sphere for San
Francisco. His heart was not in thu work
at any stage of the game; you could see
that plainly, but he plugged along, doing
the best he could, and that is all an angel
can do.
Dor hers was in fine form. He struck
NJ lot bar disti IN II q had
himself.
Louie started out fine for San Francisco
by st liking out the first man UP, the A.
pOl0-like Mr.. Wright.
Hulen, whose eye was skewed yesterday,
flew out to Power. but McCauey and
Hutchinson both singled and double by
Glenalvin following after let in run by
McCauley aud paved the way for more, if
Lyle hadn't Immediately gone out at first
by Mcguire.
In the last of the second San Francisco
tied up the score by getting Mr.. Work
around the circle on base Oh balls and
long series OF passed balls
Lohman's fingers are mashed into an
almost shapeless mass, and he failed to
hold three balls in succession. His job was
turned over 10 Pop LytIe. and he went out
and took up Lytle's burden in right field.
Wright came around in the third, after
single, on double by McCauley.
Again San Francisco evensd up the score
IN the fourth. CAROLS double opened the
inning. and the gentleman scored on the
fly that Work sent TO Lehman. EDright
singled and stole second, but died right
there.
But in the fifth inning Los Angeles Sc
cured a lead that lasted all the rest of the
way. Four tallies came in on four hits
There was three Dagger slammed out by
that funny fellow. Hughes, singles ny
Richardson and Hulen and double by
elder McCauley before any hands were
out. You can imagine how the spirits of
Louie BalsZ must have dropped.
But the next three men all went out on
flies and stopped the slaughter.
Then in the next inning Los Ange les
added three more TO the total on two hits.
a single by Lohman and a double by
Borchers.
When San Francisco got well into the
eighth inning and began TO pump out
home runs aud doubles and singles the as
pect of things changed for awhile AMI it
looked as If Henry might lug the game
home after all. But alas for human no es.
After Maguire's home run, Levy singled
and Carroll smashed out a double. Then
Work made home run.
Ebright sent a long fly out toward
HutchInson's pasture, and it promised well
for a second, until Hutchinson reached up
and picked it out OF the atmos phere.
Power singled, then-"A home run ties
Inc cCpLrs yc.lcu EUEiSul--OLe Ger lew out
to Hughes.
Only two hands out," said Reuben Levy
as BalsZ came W 10 bat.
BalSZ got base on balls.
Fitzgerald grabbed bat and ambled TO-
ward the plate, painfully aware, appar-
emily, that he was not equal to such an
occasion.
Hold on minute" yelled Captain Eb-
right. Then he sprang surprise on the
public.
His eagle eyelet had detected the pres
ence OF low, rakish-looking man in the
assem6iage there gathered, and he beck
oned for the said low, raklsh man to
appear.
The low. raksh man appeared. He was
clothed In the garb of civilian, but he
threw aside his loose garments, donned o
blue cap, and appeared at the bat in
trousers and pair of azure-blue suspenders
holding up same. He struck out.
1t was Danny Sweenevl
There was another inning, devoid of in
cldent or results, and only made interest
ing by the gambols and gyrations of Cap.
