FROST FOR HOME TALENT.
The LIVELY SOUTHERNERS WERE
THE VICTORIOUS ONES
YESTERDAY.
HAD PLENTY OF GOOD BALL
BILLY HULEN WAS INvULNERABLE
TO BOTH COLD WEATHER AND
BARNES TwIRLERs.

A thousand or more spectators at Central
Park yesterday saw some pretty and
effective work done on the diamond, but it
was under such conditions that their
enthusiasm was not aroused. The San
Franciscos were defeated, the score stand
ing IL to 5.
The members OF the San Francisco Club
are more susceptible to falling temperature
than are the boys of the sunny South. The
crisp air of the afternoon penetrated their
dark blouses and rendered their muscles
less quick to strike to throw or to run.
Billy Hulen, however, is thoroughly &C.
climated; his powerful arm sent ball after
ball sailing out over the head of McHale in
right, to lose itself in that unknown region
where Mission street crosses Eighth. Pete
Sweeney followed in effective batting, and
after him came Lally.
Barnes is undoubtedly a corker in the
pitchers box. He yields a hypnotic in
huence over the ball and the bat poised in
front of him. Both thoroughly believe
they will collide over the base, when in
reality they pass several inches apart.
The game opened with the San Fran
clscos at the bat. Hulen struck to the
fence on right, and trotting around the
bases, easily scored a home run. LaIly

Straus and Sweeney, in quick succession.
flew to Cantillion at first, who ran clear to
low fly.
McQuaid, in the last half of the first
IN stealing to second, went on his back
feet hrst under Pete Sweeney and was
safe. Mertes struck out and McHale fol-
lowed with single and went to second on
an error. Cantillion struck hot grounder
10 barnes and made a single. MeHsle was
put out between third and the home plate
Speer struck out, leaving CantiIlion on
third. McQuaid scored.
In the second the first half was short and
bitter to the San Franciscos. Power flew
TO Mertes at Center-feld, Fraser struck ont
and Tanning fouled out TO Speer. The last
nan was no sweeter to Los Angeles. More
batting was done, but no runs were scored
In the third the San Franchises did not
succeed IN scoring and Los Angeles got in
two runs. MCHale hit to the pitcher in
the last half, who threw to first, but
Power dropped the ball. Cantillion
struck q two-bagger and Mertes scored
Cantlllion was touched out between third
and home, and Speer trying for third on a
passed ball was put out. O'Neill took his
base on balls and scored before Hickey
struck ont.
In the fourth Werrick struck a single to
4ell, clTauS struck out, sweeney struck q
single 10 Mckibben and Werrick was put
out on second. Power struck out
In the last half Tanning became more
gesticulative. He held the ball above his
head and lifted his left leg to the front
before sending the ball across the plate.
The ball followed a slnuous path, but the
bat would find it and hurl it far out in
the field. Burns struck 10 Werrick and
reached first. McKibben scored. Speer
struck q double and Mertes and Burns
scored. CantiHen was put ont at second.
In the fifth Hulen struck a double to
right. Lally followed with a single to
third. Frank hit q double past third,
neatly sliding to second. LalIy scored and
Werrick struck out. Los Angeles did not
get run in the last hall of the fifth.
In the sixth Straus sent a hot grounder
to second and finally scored. The side was
retired before Billy Hulen could get a
swing st the bat.
In the last half the Los Angeles boys
made four runs. In the seventh Lally
made a magnificent hit over second, which
was neatly caught by Mertes. In the
eighth Sweeney struck clear to the center
field fence and scored a home run. Speer
scored in the last half The San Francis
cos made no runs in the ninth and the last
half was not played. The score:
