GREATEST OF THE SEASON,
Spectacular Baseball Between the
San Francisco and San Jose
Teams.
THE HOME NINE OUTPLAYED
Won by the Visitors = Pitchers and
FielderS Vie With Each Other
for the HonorS.

The second game of the series between
the San Francisco and San Jose baseball
teams was played yesterday at Central
Park. 1t was rare good game, one of the
occasional kind, so full of features and
devoid of errors that they are not often
seen. The crowd was small, but that
made no difference with the playing.
1t was spirited throughout and every
man engaged contributed his share to the
excellence of the exhibition. In this
respect it was very different from some of
the games played to poor audiences at the
opening of the season when, with a poor
crowd, the players seemed to have no
heart in their work. That spirit has all
gone now and no matter what the attend
ance happens to be the game is the same
conscientious effort.
1t cannot be said that it was pitchers
game, notwithstanding the fact that it was
a pitchers day, and only ten safe hits were
made off both the box-rustlers, for there
were many hard smashes and both men
were quite generous in permitting the
other side to find their hiding places. 1t
was due to a number of remarkable
achievements in the field that more hits
were not recorded. Fraser of the home
team made spectacular catch of a fly in
left field that would ordinarily have fallen
much short of him, and Klopf of the WIS.,
itors did likewise IN right field. His play
was more sensational, if anything, than
Fraser's.
Hollingsworth of the visitors also proved
himself quite a Snowman. He accepted
innumerable opportunities gracefully and
with remarkable skill never failed to throw
his man out at first. He did not carry off
all the honors at short, however, for Hulen
was also skillful and accurate and had no
errors to his credit.
There were only six errors in the whole
nine innings. Two of these were accred-
tied to Taylor at second base for the visit
ors. They were bad fumbles of easy op-
portunities. Niles, also of the visitors,
and Sweeney, Fraser and Harper of the
| home team had each a black mark op-
! posite his name.
The scoring was all done in the third,
sixth and eighth innings. In San Fran
ciscos' half of the third Power made the
first safe hit off from Fischer for single.
Fraser was struck out and Harper ad-
vanced Fraser to second by another single
| bagger. Hulen dropped a beautiful fly
! into Weaver's NIT in centerfield and
Power sprinted home. The side was re-
tired by Bolan taking difficult foul fly.
| The column for scores was kept clean on
| San Franciscos' sheet from that time on.
In the sixth inning, with one out, Nc
Bride hit safe to left, Weaver smashed out
a long single, which advanced Mcbride to
third. Then Fraser threw wild over third
and Mcbride came home. Niles seized
the willow and assumed threatening
attitude, which apparently ratified Harper
who took the bluff, and when the bal
| came gently rolling up to him made q
great mess of picking it up and getting ii
to first. Weaver scored in the meantime
and that ended the run getting till the
visitors half of the eighth came round.
Mcbride then set the ball rolling and il
did not stop till he had been given credit
for three base hit. Weaver hit to Swee.
sent fly to right field and received credit
for sacrifice hit, as Mcbride scored. Nc
more runs we're made, though Mr.. Sutro's
hired men tried hard, and the visitors were
not compelled to play their half of the
ninth. Following is the result:
