UNCLE'S BIG DAY.
Yesterdays Two Games
Won by Home Talent.
STOCKTON DREW ONE BLANK
The Morning Game Hinged on Sim
gle Error and BaIsz Won the
Afternoon Game.
The home talent baseball team won two

games yesterday from the team that will
some time be known as the Saeramentos.
but which now halls from Stockton.
The home team had a hard tussle indeed
for the first game and only won it on the
close margin of one tally. The second
game was not so close-in fact it was not
close at all, for while the San Franciscos
only got five tallies the Stocktons got
nothing.
As usual, the morning game was the
better one of the two, though the 5000
spectators at the afternoon game had moth
ing TO complain of, for they saw very in
teresting game. prolific in good plays and
presenting some exciting episodes.
What person don't know don't affect
him as rule, and the afternoon spectators
enjoyed the game. no doubt, not being
aware that few small boys and a man
who had wandered out to the grounds to
escape the ennui of quiet Sabbath morn
ing at home had m0nopolzed the spec
tacle of an almost perfect game at Pied
mont in the morning.
But the perfection of that first game was
marred by one error. that stuck out from
The rest like a sore thumb. while the
errors OF the afternoon game had no dis

abnormaily DrOtuberant
Not particle of fault can be found with
the average playing of either of the teams
engaged IN yesterdays games and it would
be almost as hard to find flaws in the
Individual work of any one PLAYER The
error that caused Stock ton to lose the
morning game was contributed by White
head, Stocktons third baseman. Ii was
in lie fifth inning. when two men were
oui, that he fumbled a ground ball. that
should have been handled to put out the
thIrd man. san francisco made three
runs after that before the inning could be
terminated and thus won the game.
FOR the afternoon game large share of
the credit must be given to Louie Balsz,
VINO seemed to have struck current OF
his ertwhile phenomenalness.
Louie only allowed the Stockton men to
chip off three hits during the game and
only one of the three, Mannasau's double.
was at all promising. Alter that double
MannaSau got to third on a sacrifice and
just for brief period il looked as # a shut
out was TO be avoided, but Whitehead
famed cut and dispelled The Illusion.
Mannasau did all the St0ckton's heavy
batting in both games. He opened I'D the
morning game with q three-base swipe.
There were no very long hits in either
game. Perhaps the sky was low yester-
day. In the afternoon Mcguire showed out
a curve that bounded over the small fence
at the back of the lot. Such an operati on
generally nets the operator home run and
Mcguire started out with that idea in his
noddle. but Roberts shinned over the fence,
got the ball and threw 1t home Just in time
to gather Mr. Mcguire into the fold and so
his long lOlt-the longest of the day
did not count for run.
Mannasau'S three-baggetty hit opened
the morning encounter auSpiciously. Levy
gathered in SWeeney's long fiy and then
Whitehead singled and MannaSau scored
Kiopf sent the bail down to short. 1t was
thrown to second in ample time for White
head. but sailed on by Sharp and let
Whitehead score.
When Carroll sent out three-bagger in
the last nalf Sharp had already flown out
10 Lawrence and Reuben Levy was
situated at first, the result of having been
plunked in the rush home with the ball
thrown by Harper. Harper was pitching
for Stockton.
Work followed Carroll with single
and Carroll scored, Levy having scored on
Carroll. Work stole second and scored on
a single by Power. II will be noticed that
the hits were admirably punched in this
inning and three runs resulted from three
hits
D Opening the second Peoples waited for
a base on balls. Harper followed with a
single sending Peoples to third and going
himself TO second.
Mannasau's long fy. captured by
Carroll, allowed Peoples 10 score. Sweeney
singled and Harper scored. Whitehead
drove out long fly. It sailed over into
Levy's pasture and Rueben put up his big
nit expecting to capture 1t, but he didn't.
Ii struck a prop to the scoreboard and car
omed over against the fence, giving
tWhtey" two stations and scoring
Sweeney. To console RGeben Klopf and
Lawrence both flew out 10 him and ended
the inning right there.
1t was way along in the last half of the
fifth before anything serious happened

Rueben Levy fly in the third and pretty

Mcguire to Sharp to Power
In that fifth inning Mcguire was thrown
out at first by Peoples and McVicker flew
to Roberts. Sharp swatted a scraggly sort
of IA ground ball down toward third base
and Whitehead closed in on it like a small
boy trying to get his hat on a butterfly
And like a butterfly trying n OF to get un-
der the hat of small boy the ball edged
away from his glove and passed on out
into the open place beyond third base.
Reuben Levy was hit with the ball again
right after that, and. with the two men on
bases. Carroll singled and scored Sharp
Work singled and an error by Sweeney let
in Carroll from third Thus the three tai
lies were directly the result of White
heads jugglery OF Sharp's hit.
That put San Francisco one In the lead

and sending Speer 10 third. Manuasau
got base on balls and the stations were
filled again when Sweeney hit out a long
fly that Levy caught after a long run and
high jump.
Two more taiies secured by the San
Francscos in the last half of the seventh
through a combination of bases on balls
and a hit by Power gave the home team
the game.
