FINAL BALL GAME PLAYED,
ON THE DIAMOND AT THE HAIGHT-
STREET GROUNDS BY A
SCRATCH NINE.
THE FIELD WHERE MANY PLAYERS
MADE THEIR DEBUT Is
DOOMED.

The stars and stripes waived yesterday
for the last time over the Haight-street
baseball grounds. When the colors were
struck it was the signal of the defeat of
those who battled to maintain the grounds
for ball-field. They fought hard and did
all they could to hold the field, but they
We're not strong enough, and to-day the
work of demolishing the grand stand and
the bleachers will commence. The work
will continue until in short time nothing
will remain but memory of the diamond
on which so manly prominent ball-players
have met and contested for supremacy.
Yesterday the last game was played
there. 1t had been announced that it
would be played between the Oaklands and
the San Franciscos for the benefit of Joe
Langendorfer, in recognition of his ser
vices during the ball season as peanut
artist. In that line Joe was success, but
when he saw the few that were in the
benches he must have thought that not
only republics and corporations, but also
baseball cranks, are ungrateful.
Then when Umpire Donahue announced

Wells broke his pedal at the finish or he
might have made Terrill and Nissen ride a
bit faster. Hawks had a bad fall, which
accounts for his poor showing. The 1C-
mile road record straightaway is 27:15, is
held by w. J. Christ, and was made under
very favorable conditions, but, considering
all the circumstances Terrific time. though
slower, was very creditable.
At y O'Clock the Olympic Club Wheel
mems tiye-mile handicap race started from
Fruitvale to San Leandro. Walter Foster,
who broke the 25-mile record over the tri-
angle last Sunday, made best time in this
race-14 min. OF 2-5 sec.-which, however,
does not come under McFarland's record
made at San Jose last year. For this course
it was very fast time.
c. +. Lennon finished first Just ahead
OF Foster, while r. L. Long, who rode from
scratch with the latter met with slight
accident near the finish and had to drop
out. Coulter, the other scratch man, who
comes from the East and rides in the team
with Ziegler and Harbottle, could finish
no better than in fifth place. The follow
ing table will explain the positions and
time made by the riders:

that 1t was time to play it was discovered
that neither team was full-that is neither
had sufficient number of men to fill the
several positions. So Captain Riley repre-
sentlng one team and Captain Powers the
other made lively skirmish in the audi
ence ana by main force dragged out num-
per OF balltossers and pressed them into
service. Each team, instead OF being a
picked nine, was picked-up one. The
men OF each team went to work with as
much energy as If they were doing battle
with the champions of the East. Some
very, pretty plays were made, which
awakened the latent interest in the cranks,
who yelled until they were hoarse, Just as
they used to do in the days when 10000
people sat and watched the games.
The game terminated at o'clock, and

game on the back of an envelope an
nounced with all the gravity of IS day

team to for Powers'.'
The players picked up their traps and
moved to the dressing-room and that was
the end of the glory at the Haight-street
ball grounds.
These grounds were opened in the latter
part of March, 1887, the initial game being
PLAYED between the Haverleys and the
Pioneers; that game resulted in a victory
for the Haverleys, by score of 6 to 5, and
1t was notify contested, being witnessed by
the largest crowd that ever watched ball
game in this city. The batteries on that
occasion were McMullen and Carroll for
the Pioneers and Incell and Stein for the
Haverleys. On these grounds some of
the best ball-players in the United States
made their first appearance and it was on
this diamond that Colonel I. Peculiar Rob-
inson won honors.
