The San Francisco call., 1895-11-04
A Day of Hard Hitting and
Double Plays at Cen
trail Park.
THIRTY SAFE HITS WERE MADE
San Franciscos Avenged Themselves
Upon the San Jose Visitors
for Previous Defeats.

The ball-tossers OF the San Francisco
team must have been studying the vii
lain's part in some melodrama yesterday
morning, at least the game at Central
Park in the afternoon suggested ii, and
that the trite declaration. II will have re-
venge!" had been the one that had most
impressed itself upon them. However
that may have been, to be avenged for the
games lost Wednesday and Thursday was
certainly uppermost in the minds of the
players of the home team, for the visitors
from the Santa Clara Valley paid dearly
for their success on those occasions. They
were not in the game from the beginning
of the first to the end of the ninth inning,
when the score stood u to 4 against them.
The grounds were muddy and very
heavy and the bag at second base looked
like little island in a millpond, but not
withstandidg the unfavorable conditions
the crowd, which was good considering
the day. saw hotly contested and inter
esting game. The fact that San Jose was
not able to make better showing on the
| score sheet was not due TO bad playing on
the part of the men, for only two errors
were recorded against the team. The diff
fculty all centered il the pitchers box.
Tanning for the home team was Elusive
and steady and held the visitors down to
seven hits. while directly the opposite was
| the case with Daniels, who did the twirling
| for San Jose. If he had had blackboard
and drawn diagrams of his curves the
! home men could not have understood
them any better than they did, for they
! hit him whenever and wherever they
| chose.
| 1t is doubtful if a professional game of
baseball was ever played in San Francisco
in which so many clean, safe hits were
made-hits which could not by any human
| possibility have been tielded. Twenty
! three was the mum Der and among them
We're six tWo-baggers. Every man in the
| home team maze safe hit, and some of
them three and four. Tanning went to the
bat five times and five times carved out q
| single. Lally had four singles and double
| to hls.credit, Power and Sweeney with a
| two -bagger each, and Stanley, Frank and
Hulen did their share of the hard hitting.
For the visitors Daniels, with two two
baggers, and Mcbride, with one, did most
OF the hitting.
There was another feature of yesterday 8
game that was quite as remarkable as the
batting OF the home team. There were
seven double plays made. The visitors
( had much the best OF this feature for five
OF them were recorded to their credit
Taylor and Niles made l, Hollings-
worth, Taylor and Niles ,, Bolan and
! Taylor l, and Hollingsworth, Fischer and
/ Niles l. Those for :he home team were
made by Sweeney. Hulen and Power, and
/ Werrick and Power.
| San Francisco began the scoring in the
| first inning. Hulen went to bat and
made single. He stole second and i'm
mediately after Lally started in on his big
j hitting record by discovering where Dan
| lels was sequestered for a single. Hulen
/ went to third, and scored when Frank fol-
! lowed Lally with third single. Werrick
/ then hit to 1witchell, who allowed the
| ball to pass between his legs. LaIly came
I home, and was followed a moment later
| by Frank, when Sweeney went out at
| first.
| Another score was made in the third in
ming and in the fourth operations set in in
/ earnest again. Sweeney lined out a single
and scored when Power smashed double
! over the right-ield fence. flaming made
a single, advancing Power to third. Stan
! ley forced Tanning out at second and
/ Power scored. Hulen singled again. as did
| also LalIy and Stanley crossed the plate.
A double play retired the side.
! In the fifth the home team was even
more successful than in the preceding in
ming. Werrick went to first on balls and
was forced out by Straus. Sweeney sent
| the ball over the lef.-heId fence for two
| bags, advancing Straus to third. Power
sacrificed to right field and scored Straus.
Tanning, Stanley and Hulen hit for a
single each and the bases were full. Lally
the bleachers. He has become a great
favorite and much was expected of him.
He did not fail them. but smashed g long
single in right field that scored both Fan
ming and Stanley.
One more run was made in the seventh,
when, after Power had singled and gone
out between second and third, Tanning
came to bat and singled. Then came the
stalwart Lallv again, this time for
splendid double, that scored Tanning.
This ended the run-getting for the home
team.
The visitors scored only in the third and
eighth innings. In the third Bolan sin
gled and was advanced to third by Daniels
first two-bagger. He scored on Mcbride's
sacrifice to right field.
In the eighth Mcbride was on first, when
Fischer hit to third. He reached first on
Sweeney's error and then Sweeney made a
wild throw to second, allowing Mcbride to
reach third. Niles forced Fischer out at
second and McBride scored. Twitchell got
base on balls. Taylor singled, scoring
Niles. Twitchell stole third and scored on
wild pitch by Tanning.
Following is the score:
