The morning call., 1893-06-04

is even. To thinking person. however,
that is. person who reasons on com
sense lines, it must be apparent that
thigh sky" is sky further removed from
the earth than the ordinary sky. Accept
ing this. then, as the definition OF high
sky" and accepting the aforesaid "high
sky" as the cause of the abnormal score
of Yesterday, one is naturally drawn to
the conclusion that the remoteness of the
aforesaid sky permitted the hits TO pene-
trate the atmosphere between the earth
and the sky TO greater extent than is pes
mitted by the ordinary sky.
This theory dovetalls with the revela-
tons OF the tabulated statement below ex-
| actly.
There you will notice that the game was
| prolific Of elongated hits. in actual
| figures. there were three home runs, two
| triples and stack of doubles as high as a
| hayStack almost.
Papa McCauley, whose scant locks are
whltened by the passing of many winters
| and some considerable summers also
hatted like tornado on tear yesterday.
he IS down for home run, a three-ba gger
and two-bagger, and he also rounded out
the record with a single. Hercules, with
! telegraph pole, batting balloons. couldn't
have done much better than that off six
chances.
Blu. the thigh SKYE mustn't have all the
h0n0rs OF yesterdays score. Errors came
plentfnlly into the game and helped to
make the runs. Los Angeles, with its
preponderance of tallies. also has one
more error to father. And the amount of
errors that either side made would put to
shame the Hot Roasted Peanuts" or the
''Snag Alley Blnes."
Score: Is TO IL. in favor of Los Angeles.
Louis Balsz was required to lay aside
that tired feeling and do the pitching for
San francisco, and 1t must be said the
manner in which the Los Angeles batters
R in be- nf of lii II,
to dishearten a hickory tree. Why, the
very second hit was home, perpetrated
by Hutchinson. AMI there were seven
teen hit in all, and the sky was high-very
high, indeed. 1t was almost out of sight,
and so was the ball that was sailing
through L., several times.
A mild surprise for the cranks was the
appearance of Matte" McVickers in a
Los Angeles uniform and doing the pitch
ing. Most people had never known before
that Matte" had curves in his right arm
AS a matter of cold fact, he is not a bad
pitcher The victory that Los Angeles
carted away Yesterday was not wholly due
to his phenomenalness by several phenom-
enals. but still he held the heavy hittrrs of
the home team down to eight hits, only one
OF them a long one, and the home run
of Mcguire in the last inning, after all hope
for San Francisco had fed.
Mcp lckerS Is the man who PLAYED short
engagement with Stockton in the right
field. He is fairly good ball-player, and
may get steady job with Mr.. Llndley's
gang.
Mir. Work came back from the hospital
with his hand sewed up and PLAYED in the
game. and Pete Lohman was there with
his fingers tied on, doing the catching for
Llndley He threw up the job after the
fourth inning however, and snapped pc.
Hanks people stole base on either one of
them, be it said, while Los Angeles stole
six bases during the fracas.
Features of the game were. OF course,
the hits. and in spea king OF those it will be
necessary TO go into the details of the
plays somewhat eXtendedly, for they were
the cause of most of the playing.
The first inning was not productive Of
runs for San Francisco, who went first to
the bat. Hulen was the hero of this ell
gagement. Be caught Sharp's foul,
stopped CARROTS ground hit very prettlv
and forced out Levy at second and then
put ont Carroll at second when the large
San Franciscan was trying TO steal it. The
inning ended without a hit off McVick-'
er's delivery.
The last half was productive OF three
runs and many hits for Los Angeles.
Wright had base on balls and Hulen
was caught out on fly by Reuben Levy,
after long run. during which Reuben re-
minded ole of bear pursuing swarm
! of bees. Then McCauley hit a double
down the center aisle and Hutchinson
came Immediately after with a home run,
sending the ball over the right-field fence
! Evidently San Francisco considered
that sort OF work just too mean for any
! thing, because they pumped out five runs
| right after that without allowing Los
Angeles 10 get any more.
Tbs first two they got came devoid of
! hitlets, aud the three in the next were the
result of a single by Carroll aud double
! by Hank Spies.
Dnt Coz nj
the three runs Los Angeles got in the first,
the six they got in the third must have
worked San Francisco exasperators to
their fullest capacity.
That was frghtful inning, made all
the more frightful by a general mix-mp
| toward the last end when the bases were
full and all three men stole bass at once
There was first double by Glenalvin
and then three bagger by Lyle. Lob
man came right along with a single. The
sky was high. Hughes went out on an in
! field d. and McVicker singled. There were
two men already on bases and Wright
filled the stations by getting to first on an
error of Mcguire. McCanley singled. 50
did Hutchinson. GlenalvIn got fiji st on a
wild throw past Power and everybody
started to eircle to the right. The ball got
| back in ample time to pinch McCauley be-
| tween third and The home plate, ana such
would have been the result OF it all if Hank
! Spies hadn't reached so lar down the line
that he lost his equilibrium and the ball at
the same time.
Lytle kindly few out to Reuben after
that and ended the disgraceful scene
That let the ginger out OF the San Fran
ciscos until the ninth inning, but in the
meantime Los Angeles had made eight
more TALES. and carload of ginger
couldn'tbave overcame a lead like that.
Magure's muff in the fourth gave Lob
man a start, and Hughes double landed
him in port; Wright's single brought in
Hughes, and Hulen's double sent Wright
10 third, whenc, he made home on a long
fly to Levy by McCauley.
The elder McCauley opened the fourth
quite appropriately with home run. The
ice. white. new ball went right down
| through the center aisle and stacked itself
up against The clubhouse.
Reuben Levy, following the ball as it
sped gleeiuliy along, looked like cow
| chasing coyote across pasture
hutchinson singled inter that and
scored on cluster If errors contributed
bv Ebfight ct al. Glenalvin and Lytle
also scored on errors, and a double play,
participated in by Messrs Ehright, Sharp
ana Power. shut off further depredations.
Those last four that San Francisco got
| IN the ninth were pretty much earned, and
Mcguire. late Of Vallejo, earned them
with his home run. But, of course, he
wasted his efforts, for his fellow-townsman,
