Your Uncle.

Yesterdays Game Was Crowded With
Double Plays and Innings
Without Scores.


situation must have now pleasant aspect
after yesterdays game at the Piedmont en-
closure. Mr.. Lindley played Roach and
Borchers on the bench and put Nicol in to
pitch, and should be highly gratifed with
the results.
Mr.. NicOPs eye was a little faulty at
times, owing as much TO the fact that the
home plate was too fidgely as to anything
else, but he limited Uncle Harris men to
six hits, and once when the bases were all
filed he struck two men out in quick sue
cession. and the third. no less parsonage
than Mr.. Ebrght, was not allowed to reach
first

san Francisco scored in only two innings
and Los Angeles made four of the seven
runs IN The eighth, through series OF errors
and the Introduction Of a choice assortment
Of sEats at opportune times. The Los
Angeles aggregation has always enjoyed a
reputation for making nits when hits are in
greatest demand, aud yesterday the repu-
taiOn was we'll sustained.
knell was batted quite hard in the last
TWO innings. and. in fact, throughout the
game the balls he sent up the alley seemed
20 be easy To locate and well adapted to the
purpose of the Angels.
pleasing feature Of the game was the
Introduction Of spirited double plays upon
every possible occasion, Only once when
there was q chance for a double-up was the
opportunity neglected. and then il was
only Umpire McDonald's good eye that de.
iected the flaw. Six double plays in one
game indicates speedy ball playing, upon
which whlskers are not allowed 20 Yegetate.
In the first inning, owing to the fact that
Wright made a two-base hit and was fol-
lowed by Hulen with hit to left field good
Tor one bag, coupled with the further fact
that Pop MeCauley did then and there rap
out thTee-bagger. Wright was called out
al the plate on q close decision. Hulen
came In on Pop McCauley's effort, and the
genial old gentleman himself scored after
Hutchinson had been caught out on a fly to
Carroll, beating the ball to the plate.
(r.eua.Viu pame bArk ID the hat with two
men out and two runs registered While he
was ma king up his mind whether To resume
his debate with the umpire or play ball
knell tossed the ball over the plate and n
strike was placed TO his credit. That settled
it. With sudden directness the Inspiration
came to him that he was paid for PLAYING
ball, whereas the umpire gels a salary for
talking. Then he pushed a gTounder down
TO J. Peek Sharp and was thrown out at
first. retiring the side.
When san Francisco came up in the first
Mcguire prohted by the example of Wright
aud also made twO-bag swtpe. kid"
A!col hadn't got accustomed to the gyra-
tlons OF the home plate Yet and allowed
Ebright base on balls. Carroll was thrown
out at first Work fOuled to Lohman and
Sharp drove out beautiful long one over
second base. Mcguire scored on it. but
fbright was called out for not being able 20

Ibe tAlrd was when the san Franeiscos
procured their tally. Starting out with
base on balls knell stole his way to second,
and after Mcguire struck out reached third
at the time Ebright sentOne TO Hulen, which
was too hot TO retain. When Carroll went
cut AT FIRST knell crossed the plate, tally aud
all. W0rE was plnnked in the short ribs and
expired on the initial cushion when Sharp
sent high fly out to where Wright could
get it.
The score shows pair oil ciphers for every
inning from the third to the eighth, and it
was along 10 here that all those double plays
took place.
A pretty half inning was the last Of the
fifth, when Carroll, Work and Sharp were
each in succession thrown out at first by
Kid Hu.en. Hulen plays his new position
as though he had been taking lessons of
"Good-b boy-Jimmy" Stafford
With the score tie Los Angeles started
in % ind the ball in the eighth and quit
with four more runs, three of them earned.
Work was unsuccessful with fly sent out
by McCeuley. Hutchinson followed Pop
with base hit. Glenalyin was thrown out
It first by Knell. Lyile's single brought in
McCGuley and Hutchinson, and Lytle
scored on a fielding erroHof Van Dykes hit,
which should have put Van Dyke out, but

The side was retired after Nirol had
reached first by weak little swaIlet fathered
by Wright and sent to the first plate ahead
OF him.

In the last half of the ninth-but that would
have been another story. They failed to
