SEESAWING AGAIN.
Uncle's Men Plucked the
PersimmOn.
Z" RASTY" WAS AT THE BEST.
How That Angelic Band From the
South Contributed the Errors
in Yesterdays Game.

| the San Francisco teams seems TO De mucr
on the give and take plan. First It's one
and then its t'other. At HaiRht street
yesterday the home team plucked the rl'e
persimmon. Not. however. because San
Franciscos made the powerful hits, for l,
was Rasty Wright of Los Angeles who did
that. but because Los Angeles played an
errorfui game did the home team win.
Strange. is it not. that all the good games
are played at Piedmont? The memory of
the Oldest inhabitant goes not back TO the
time when such game as that IF Friday
at Oakland was ever played at Haight
street. That Friday game was the talk
of the town. and consequently there
was good attendance at the game yester-
day. But it was all very tame as compared
| with the other.
There was nothing close about the score.
The home crew had ten runs down before
the visitors gathered in their second one.
1t was too much Of an uphill pull for Los
selves with shutting out The home team In
the last four innings and let it GO at that.
Something disagreeable to think about
! In connection with the game Is the fact
that not one of San Franchises ten runs
was earned. Every one of the Angels
without wings made an error except
| Wright, and besides not making any errors
Wright got one hit of each kind. his home
run kaing born of the prettiest hit Of tn
season.
1t was something of pitchers battle.
BalsZ and Knell did the work. Balsz was
the more effective of the two.
The very first ball sent up by Knell was
converted into single by Peck Sharp. A
base on balls to Mcguire filled two of the
bases, and single by Carroll made the
two runs.
Wrighrs first poke-out was for triple.
He scored on throw Spies made to in
tercept Hutchinson at second
In the third Carroll got first on an error
by Knell. He stole second and when
Hutchinson threw the ball in be tw cen Nc
Cauley's feet, trying to put out Balsz,
Carroll scored.
There were three men on bases on sim
giles by Lehman and Wright and an error
of Mcguire, when in the SECOND inning Nc
Cauey, who is old enough to know better.
sent a fly ball out to Carroll and retired
the side.
The third was a disastrous inning for
the visitors. Sharp and Mcguire had sin
gled and Power had been hit by pitched
ball, so all the bases were full. Carroll
drove out long fly to Lyle. Lyle
dr"pped it and before it got back again
all three had scored.
Tie fourth was productive of four runs
for Henry's men and FIVE hits. After Spies
had got to first on base on balls BalsZ.
Work and Levy singled. You can mag
ire what that resulted. Balsz was caught
off third on Lohman's throw, while the rest
scored. Then Hutchinson muff'-d Ma
quire's fly and Glenalvin dropped tossed
ba II at second. SO that Mcguire scored on
Powers double without great amount of
effort.
That completed San Francisco's total of
the runs aud they never got any more.
Rasty Wright's home run came in the
NTH: 1t was one of those low rakisn-
looking swipes that carry long way. TIE
ball Rugged the left foul line until it
passed the flag and then took a turn and
shot through the gate below the kinder
garten.
Old Pop McCauIey follows Rasty. and he
wanted to do about he same sort of trick,
and would have done it only for Work
looked as if it might pass over Works
head by wide margin. 1t didn't, though.
Work figured on that all the time. so as
soon as he saw 1t coming he turned and
scudded for the rear end of the lot and as
the ball came on he reached up one lone
hand and pulled it in out of the atmos-
phere. Great applause was accorded him.
The welkin-wha,ever that is-rang with
the shouts OF the excited populace.
A run in the sixth that was made almost
wholly upon errors came for Los Angeles
and concluded the score. Hulen got first
by being hit by the pitcher. second on
PASSED ball and third on wild pitch. Lob
mans twO-base bit scored him.
To-day this procedure will be gone all
over again at the same tlace. Uncle will
trot out his new and important discovery,
Pitcher McGreevev. who pitched out that
wonderful thirteen-lnning game at Pi"d-
mint. Borchers will oppose him for Los
Angeles That ought to make a good
game. Yesterdays score was:
