ONE GREAT GAME.
Los Angeles Won in the
Thirteenth.
LIKE THE BIG TEAMS PLAY.
LEWIS Error Let in the Winning
Run Just as 1t Began to Get
Dark.
At the close of the twelfth inning in the

game of ball at Piedmont yesterday after
noon the score stood s To 8. One N ore in
ming decided the game Los Angeles
made one tally in the thirteenth. San
Francisco made desperate attempt to do
the same; failed and lost the game.
No more interesting nor exciting game
was ever played in California. Los An
geles opened strong and continued to lead
all the way until the ninth, when two
runs were needed by San Francisco to tie
the score. Those two runs came, but no
more. Rube LEWIS error on Lohman's
single let in The winning run in the thir-
teenth, saved the boy who runs the score
board from going insane, let the audience
get away in time for a late dinner and
made nine men or more from the orange
growing district Of the south supremacy
happy. The tenth inning produced no
runs, the eleventh saw each side make one
and then came that one for Los Angeles.
Oakland gave up quite a far-szed
crowd to see that game, and 1t almost
went wild over it. 1t divided up its ap-
plause about even and just howled. ana
howled, and howled. Between howls II
kicked at the umpire unanimously ana
vociferously. The opportunities to ind
fault with the decisions came frequently
and were always accepted with avldlty.
There was new man pitching Tor San
Francisco, young man VINO mas never De-
fore played in professional games In Call
forDia, and who might have been expected
to fall by the waysde as those close and
exciting innings came following one another
long after an ordinary game would have
been over It took exactly three hours to
play the game, and the young man VINO
was pitching his first professional game
stayed at his job all that time and was
doing good effective work when the END
came. His name was McGreevey. He Is
q graduate of st. Ignatius College. has
won many games for the ball team repre-
senting that institution. and Is very
promising youngster. He fields his posi-
ton well, has plenty Of speed and the en-
durance of mule.
Borrhers pitched out the inning for Los
Angeles. He pitched great game. Eight
people during the game failed TO locate
three of his curves III succession ana so
struck out. 1t was after the ninth inning
that the really fine playing was done.
Good WORK had been done until then, eX-
cept in the second, when a costly error by
Sharp and muff by Mcguire allowed Los
Angeles to make four runs.
In the opening game at Haight street
it was the Los Angeles men who made the
eggregiOus errors. Yesterday 1t was
mostly Uncle's men who made them, and 1t
was the men, too, who seldom 10 that sort
of thing; for instance. Power, Sharp and
Levy.
Hutchinson's double and Glenalvin's
single produced an earned run for Los
Angeles in the first inning. All the long
son made three of them.
After Lehman had been donated base
on balls in the second. Haghes's single an
the hereinbefore mentioned error of Sharp
on Wright's hit let him score. A single by
Grandpa McCauley brought in Hughes and
Wright and McCauley scored on ball
that Glenalvin sent out. 1t was fly
and, behold you, he let it fall to
mother earth. Hutchinson was on second
at the time, the result of two-base hit
over the right-fieid fence. For the last few
hundred years the rule has been that when
a ball goes over the rlght-feld fence at
Oakland the batter shall take two bases
only because the fence is so close, but
never does the ball 60 over the fence with
out causing a disturbance over that very
thing. Well, after the disturbance came
that fly Hutchinson started to run and
then came back, and was touched out.
Glenalvin continued t. plod along and the
ball was thrown wild TO first. Hutchinson
also kept going. and the two passed over
the plate. Some one in the audience
near tie fence had thrown the ball out,
though, ann Glenalvin was sent back to
second, while Hutchinson was called out.
That raised an awful row.
Then the innings were very closely
PLAYED, and by getting one in the last half
of the second, two in the fifth, two in the
seventh and two in the ninth San Fran
cisco managed to make the score tie
when the game should have ended.
Nothing could have been closer than the
playing in the tenth. An error on either
side would have meant defeat. McGreevey
sent the first two men down on balls and
McCauley singled, but the fine playing
stopped run.
The head work of kid Hulin was re-
sponsible for Los Angeles run in the
eleventh. Hutchinson was on third on
base on balls and Glenalvin's single.
Huin got safe On the felder's chance, and
when the first ball went up he started to
steal second. The play allowed Hutchin-
son to score from third.
Good hard knocks brought the run for
San Francisco that made the score a tie
again. Work doubled, Carroll singled and
Mcguire doubled.
Hulen got a base on balls in the thir-
tenth. Lohman's single brought him all
the way around. The ball went over into
left pasture and Levy's throw was too late
at the plate.
OF course all this time there had been a
tremendous amount of kicking kept up.
ALI close games require kicking to be done.
A kick that would have done a Govern
ment mule proud was raised in the last
half when Work got to first on hit to Ma
guire. 1t was useless. Two men were al
ready out and Carroll flew to Wright and
settled the game.
To-day all this trouble will be renewed
at Haight street. Knell and McVicker
will pitch.
1t is rumored that Colonel Geischen has
some new players on the road from East
ern States, among them another pitcher.
Sacramento has signed McHale and
Charley Van Haltren is now with Oak
land. All this new talent coming in 10 the
games looks as if the several managers
meant to have livelier games in the second
half, and tile increased attendance at the
games looks as if they were amply justi-
fed.
Colonel Robinson stated yesterday that
aside from the fact that he was anxious to
dispose of his interest in the Haight-street
grounds. there was no foundation for the
statements that have been made regarding
his attempt TO break up baseball in Cali
fornia
