Bunched Against Him.

plugged two more in the ribs. Incidentally
1t might be mentioned. however. that
Hutchinson is the wrong man for left field,
and his miss of O'Neilrs fly, while not
counting as an error, added two runs to the
score for Oakland.
When Mr.. Lindley takes his flock of play
ers back 10 Los Angeles the fans of the
sweet, sunny south will hardly be able to
recognize them. And il things keep up per-
haps they viii not care to. Yesterday Mr.

His name is Hughes. He is a Jolly boy.
lie wears his face wreathed in smiles at
every stage OF the game. He comes from
Vallejo, and used to play bail around these
parts years ago. lie looks like ll-player,
talks like ball-player. sasses the umpire
ike ball-player and plays ball like q two
year-eld COLI. But he only missed two hard
chances yesterday, and ouce or twice made
a good play.
He coaches. His coaching wbuld Fattraet
attention anywhere. He injects ginger into
plays that otherwise would be cold and life
less. and all lie saws is: Come up wild de
sound of me voice"
Before 1t Is too late to speak about the
weather, word or two might be said about
stretching game out to nearly three hours
In length when the weather is suggestive of
winter lingering in the lap of spring. Surely
there is some method Of compelling moder-
ately rapid playing and on such days as
yesterday the popularity of the game would
De extended II this method were employed
Oakland started right IN at the lrst to
make runs. McGueken struck 10 Hulen.
The Kid alighted on the ball IN business
like sort Of way, but made an unusually
poor throw 10 Papa MeCauley, and missed
the puiout. Irwin flew out 10 Wright.
When Hines pushed over fly TO Hutchin-
SOD, ne tailed TO attach any strings to II,
and Hutchinson had trouble in pulling it
down. Hines got to second on il, and scored
on Earle's thTee-base bit. Earle'S batting
eye was in excellent trim yesterday. Cal
lopy followed with base hit. Mr.. BOrch-
ers. Who holds the record for bases on balls
gave o. Neill cakewalk. The side was re-
tired in double play Hernon hit to
Hulen, who caught 0'Neiu at second and
doubled up Hernon a. first.
Horner went In to twirl for the Colonel
lie gave two men bases on balls in the Los
Angeles hall OF the first, but there was a
fEiflre to score.
Cody made a score in the first half of the
second by getting base on balls and home
on two-base hit by Irwin. Glenalvin
threw out HernOn at first and caught Nc

when Para McCRulry closed the gate with
fly to O'Neill.
The third left the Oaklands Just where
they were before and raised Los Angeles up
couple of pegs. Hutchinson made the
trip on base on balls. second on Glen
alyin's hit. third on Iytle and in on Loh-
man. Glenalyin's hit was to O'Neill. who
threw 10 Girvn at second. Grvn fumbled
tie bail, and thus let IN the two runs eventu-
ally. Lyle was out at first Oh Hernou's
assist. There would have been one more
tally in the Los Angeles total only for the
mud. Lehman blocked out ore of his eele-
braied circuit hits, but in rounding the
third bag he stepped on slippery place
and sat down 10 think the thing over.
While he was thus medtating Hughes
smiled, struck out, and smiled again, and
Borchers poked out neat fly to Hunky
Hines.
Six people went down i'm a row in the
fourth. Only one man, McGueken, IN
happy though he is. reached first.
Los Angeles drew Il pair in the fifth.
Earle reached up into the atmosphere and
took in HutchinsOn's foul. GlenaIvin lit

to bat, smiled and made a twO-base hit
Glenalvin scored and LOiman was all but
out between third and home when Cody
threw wide one and gave him the tally.
Backus sent cut his regular fly to Hunky
Hines.
In the sixth Unhappy McGucken made
the lone tally. Hernon had previously sent
wee little fy 10 Papa McCauley. Un-
happy was hit in the shirt by the ball. He
remained at the plato as stationary as a
stone fence: Why do you not leave for the
first baseY asked Tip 0'Neil. q am wait
ing for the umpire to tell me to-" replied
Mr.. MeGucken. The umpire then told him
to. 1t may be years and years before the
people who sat shiyering on the benches
VIII ever know Just what Mr.. McGucken
was driving at. There is a faint suspicion
that he thought he was gazing the umpire.
Irwin made n safe hit. but was subsequently
put out at third when he was thinking of
something else. Hines got mis- base on balls
and was forced out at second when Callopy
hit to Glenalvin.
Now The eighth inning seems plain and
ordinary on paper, but as a matter of fact
1t was one OF the most furious encounters
that ever took place at Haight-street
grounds. II was a regular war dance from
start to finish. At times il looked like the
Circus MaXimus. There were portions of il
and others that resembed the Battle of the
Wilderness.
To begin with Irwin was hit by the
pitcher. Hines was put ont at first by Glen
alvin. Earle was also hit by the pitcher 1t
must be stated in explanation that Mr..
Earle was doubled up when tho ball struck
him, otherwise it would be almost impossible
10 do it. Callopy hit out in HutchinsOn's
corner and got second. 0'Neill sent Hutch
inson fly.
1t was missed-that is to say. Hutchinson
didn't hold it, Right in here occurred the
great general mix-up. After Callopy Int
the bases were filled and everybody at
tempted to move UP base. Lohman got
the ball and started down into the center of
the lot with it, His arms were in motion
ike the fans of WINDMILL, but he held the
ball and waited until three men were
punched on third. Meantime youthful Mr..
Huen had wisely gravitated in the direc-
ton OF the home plate, and when Irwin at
tempted 10 score he was put out by the
aforementioned Mr.. Hulen. The remain
ing two then selected a base apiece and
stayed there. HeTnon singled and stole his
way around to third after 0'Neill had
scored, and then, after Cody had got base
on balls, Horner was thrown out at 1rst by
Borchers.
In the last half Hulen got base on balls,
and came in on Papa McCau1ey's three
base hii-a noble swat, by the way. Papa
came in on passed ball. Hutchinson.
GlenalVin and Lytle went ont on flies to
Hines and HernOn.
Oakland got Two that were superfiuous
In the ninth. Two men were out when
Hines made his two base hit and came in
on Earle's single. Earle stole second and
came 10 on Callopy. Callopy was thrown
out al second.
There will be two games to-day, one at
the Piedmont ground, commencing at 1920
o'clock, and one at Haight street, which
