The Monograms showed themselves
again to be great sprinters. but they can
not play ball alongside of the lads from
the sunny south in a drawn-out game.
The last two matches piayei at Central
Park are illustrations of the assertion that
the Tufts-Lyons nine of Los Angeles, even
bereft of their crackeriack pitcher, Harvey,
can give the Webtooters ''cards and
spades"
A week ago the Monograms scored 9 to
0 in the first six innings. Affairs looked
discouraging for the boys from the south.
They recouped, however, in the end,
making tie game OF II runs in twelve
innings.
This performance was regarded as SIM
ply grand, and when game was called
Yesterday for the return match Central
Park was more crowded than it has ever
been in it's history.
The game was very much a repetition
of the one had week previous. The
Portland players went off with a rush.
Los Angeles was not IN it for five innings.
They managed to get in three nard-earned
runs in the first four innings, against
which score they had eleven runs for the
MonogTams.
From the very start last week the Los
Ange.es team was behind nine runs, and
here they found themselves eight behind,
the game almost half over. 1t was up hill
play, and it proved again to be just their
styie and gait.
In the fifth inning they scored two, as
against one for the other side, following
it up with two, as against goose-egg.
In the fifth inning came the real turn
ing of the tile. Cummings, one of the
heroes of the day, made two-base hit,

Still there were three on bases and Cum

He struck Ray clear over the left-feld
fence, bringing in three men and scoring
home run for himself, the only one
of the day.

the second time it flew.
Two runs were scored and the Los An

Franck, whose batting gained The victory,
was credited officially with two bagger
wnen really he made home run. His
score was not needed.
The Tufts-Lyons now stand the cham.
pions of the coast. The Nevada Stars are
equally undefeated and it is now to be see n
whether The latter will accept the offer
made them to play the winners of yester-
days game. They have some grievance
however, and diplomacy of no mean order
will have to be brought to bear TO make
them return to California for a game.
They claim that having beaten the
Alerts of Alameda they should not be
again called upon to play another Califor-
MIA team. Had the Monograms of Oregon
won things would have been different
Tney would have played them for the
Championship.
They will be expected to play the Tufts
| Lyons next Sunday for the trophy.
