WoIlops the Senators.
The Series Did Not End in Four
Straight Victories, as Expected
Sacramento in Second Place.
1t wasn't four straight after all.

sacramento second race,
It wasn't four straight after all.
Yes, the Los Angeles balltossers dilly-
dallied along through three games and
''got the life kicked out of them''-to use
expression of the kid who umpires the
game from the cross-trees of the telegraph
pole outside of the grounds-and then
turned around and wiped up the earth
with the great and only Statesmen in the
last game of the series. That was only
for the purpose of leaving an impression
they explained after the ball was over
but the impression they leave on the per-
centage table would look good deal bet
had they woke up sooner.
Even though yesterdays game was one
of the worst of the jug-handled species
seen in may day, the Senators got the
best of the series by long odds, and now
have good grip on second place, with
fair prospect OF reaching the top rung
shortly.
Harper pitched for the home nine yes
terday. and seldom has he showed to such
disadvantage. He seemed to have lost
his old-time craftiness and cool-headed
ness, and permitted the Angels-who
We're made TO appear foolish by the
youngster Dammann-tO hit him at will.
And, to make matters worse, the greatest
pitcher of the league, as Harpers admir-
ers are wont to call him, couldn't see the
plate and sent nine OF the visitors to first
on balls, which is something astonishing
for him. 1t was certainly an off day for
him.
But Harper was not the only one to
blame.
Tho ba1apca of tba ,,ipa l,Iuudorad w bo,,
blunders meant lots Of runs for the
enemy, and, when at the bat, couldn't hit
a balloon.
The narrative is not long one, the
downfall OF the men who expected to be
In first place to-day, being accomplished
IN three innings. The Angelic aggrega-
llon nailed two runs to the score board in
the first inning in this way: Wright
walked TO first on HarDer's unsteadiness,
and McCauley was safe on a hit into the
left garden. Both advanced base on
a wild pitch. Hutchinson hit to right
safely, Bringing in both Wright and Nc
Cauley. The rest of them were retired
without getting further than first.
Sacramento goose-egged in the first
and second. In the second, however,
Los Angeles rolled up five more.
Lehman and Hughes were presented
with a base by Harper, and after
Borchers had gone out on a long fly to
hOD0IlS. w I1EnL IIldll6 Il gOOIi, Clean nlL,
scoring Lohman. Then Papa" Me-
Cauley shot one down to center which
Mannasau iuggled and went to third,
while hughes and Wright trotted home.
Hutchinson, just to show how easy it
was, banged one way down to the fence
opposite the grand stand and made
complete circuit Of the bases amid great
cheering from the spectators. McCauley
scored, too, OF course. The side was re-
tired by lily by Glenalvin and a strike
out by Lyle.
Then the Sacramentos woke up. They
made two in the third and two in the
fourth. In the third Harper made
single, and was followed by Home-run
MRnnasan with four-cushion shot.
Sweeney struck out, Whitehead was
doubled at second, and McHale retired on
a fly to Hughes. IN the fourth Roberts
went to first on balls, Peoples fouled out,
and SWEET was given his base on balls.
Borchers then tried to catch Roberts at
second, but made a bad throw of it, and
both SWEET and Roberts advanced base
Harper whacked an easy one to Hulen,
but the latter made a bad throw in to the
plate 10 shut OFT Roberts and the latter
scored. MannaSSau made a single, and
SWEET scored. Harper tried to steal third,
but was caught at it. Sweeney hit to
Hulen and was safe because the latter
Rugged the ball too long and made bad
throw. Whitehead retired the side by
striking out.
Neither side scored again until the
eighth inning, and the spectators wit
messed a spell of nice ball playing. But
III the eighth the visitors broke loose and
literally slaughtered the home talent.
After hughes had gone TO first on balls,
BOrchers was given first because ball
was bursted by coming in contact with
his head. Wright sent safe one to right,
scoring Hughes. Then McCauley made
a beautiful three-bagger, bringing in
Borchers and Wright. Hutchinson went
to first on balls. Glenalvin hit to Klopf
and was safe, but Hutchinson was
doubled out at second. Lytle sent one to
Whitehead and went to third, because
whitley" threw the ball into the grand
stand. Lyle, Glenalyin and McCaulev
scored on this same throw. Hulen hit to
klopf, but Sweeney dropped the ball
when thrown to him, and the latter was
safe. Lehman went 10 first on balls.
Then Hughes made clean home-run,
Lehman and Hughes scoring with him.
Borchers got a single, but there was no
more run-getting because Wright and
McCauley went out on flies.
The Sacramentos made strong effort
to advance in the ninth, but only sue
ceeded in getting three.
Umpire Charles Sweeney had another
off day yesterday. and was hooted and
Missed at freely. He deserved it, too. for
his guessing was about the worst that
could be imagined. But, as was the case
in last Thursdays game, his bad judg-
ment hurt one team as bad as the other,
so that neither could complain of being
treated unfairly. There was only once in
the game that the umpire was in good
favor with the spectators, and that was
when he called Lehman out for throwing
his bat after a fly ball, thereby causing
Whitehead to mutt 1t. The captain ofdhe
Los Angeles team, Glenalvin, also lee
tured and fined Lehman for his bit of
funny business.
Borchers pitched good game for the
visitors, considering the fact that he had
pitched the day before, too. Knen was
on the sick list.
