50 NEAR AND YET 50 FAR
A Garrison Finish That Came
Near Winning.
The Angels Commence to Work in
the Last Inning,
But Then 1t Is Too Late-A Phenom In
tho Box for the Los Angeles
Team-He Makes a Good
Showing.

Although it took but eight and one
half innings to decide yesterdays game
of baseball at Athletic park, the game
was not over until the fiity-frst man
had been put out. 1t was not over then
according to the opinion OF great many,
but in that case it never will be fin
ished-but OF all that more will be said
later.
There were prominent features to the
game before it opened. A great deal OF
curiosity existed as to who would do the
responsible work for the local team.
Nicol's withdrawal had been announced,
but even search warrant could not To-
cate his successor. The HERALD came
nearer the truth than anyone else, and
hit the nail on the head. Mr.. Ksmeres,
phenom from San Diego, occupied the
delivery end Of the battery for the
Angels, and he did his work
very well indeed, considering it
was his fret game OF professional base
ball. He has choice assortment OF
drops and curves, and when he gains
enough confidence to uee the speed with
which he Is credited he will be first
class twirler. In Yesterdays game he
was hit pretty hard in the first and
fourth innings, but aside from that he
pitched magnificentgame. Ordinarily
the game would have been won on his
work alone.
OF course the boy was more or less
nervous at first, and ia the commence
ment of the game the San Franciseo's
made couple of runs. Sharp started
off with base hit. Reuben forced him
at second and there should have been a
double play, but Kid Hulen was in lit
tie bit OF trance. and the opportunity
was lost. Carroll was hit by a pitched
ball. Works single allowed Levy to
score. Large Carroll did the same when
Ebright singled.
In the fourth INNING the Nephews
collected half a dozen tallies. Power
wss given his base and Spies followed
with a hit. Magnire's base on balls
filled the sacks, snd then BALI hit q nice
little double. Sharp followed with
single that McCsuley blocked but could
not handle for put-out. Reuben flew
out to Lytle. and Balsz stole home on
the throw-in. Large Carroll also hit
the ball for three bases, scoring later on
Works hy-out to Lytle. The inning
was ended by the Los Angeles right
fielder'a third consecutive put out.
The Angels didn't tally until the fifth
inning. Lohman had forced Lytle ct
second. and on a poor attempt at
double play had taken thatbag. Hughes
followed him with clean single, and
Lohman beat out the throw to the
plate.
Hulen started the eighth with bit,
went to second to make room for Nc
Cauley's promenade, and stole the plate
on Glenalvin's out to. Levy.
But the fun began in the first and only
half OF the ninth inning. Rube muffed
lytle'e fly and Lohman hit for two
hases. Hughes drove in . tally with his
single to right field. Balsz tried to catch
Hughes mapping, with the result that
Puente Pete touched the rubber. Sharp
muffed Rasty's elm bounder, and there
were two men on bases. Huhlen beat
out one to first and 30 did Hutchinson.
Glenalvin forced the latter out, and
Hulen's run home. McCauley was then
at third, with Lytle at bat. Glen started
to steal second, with intention OF allow
ing McCauley to score on the play. The
result was that Glen was put out before
game was finished.
Tie final play was peculiar, and dis
tinctly unique. The umpire called
Glenslvin out for running out OF line.
The ball was supposed to be in the
hands of Power, who was tagging the
Los Angeles captain. After the runner
had been declared out the ball was dis
covered m the ground. Nine.tenths of
the spectators thought Mr.. Mcdonald
erred in calling the runner out, on the
eupposition that Power had dropped the
ball before Glenslvin lodged the base
line. The umpire elaine, however, that
Power dropped the ball after he bad
declared the runner out, and that for
this reason the ball dropping from the
felder's hand cuts no figure.
In words and figures the score 10 as
follows:
