steady and effective, though by no
means phenomenal. Manager Henesey

bat. To be sure he hit the ball, but as

warmed the cookies in the heart of the
crankiest crank who sat on the bleach
ers and growled. Smith, Lochhead and
Harvey each manag ged to disfigure the
score with an error, but otherwise the
sheet was clean.
The Olympics of San Francisco put a
young giant named Russell in the box,
and he pitched good ball until the fifth
inning when he grew weary because the
local people galloped around the circuit
five times, and went out to first baSt and

tion to trade. The new man in the box
has been here before, and his ancestor
was present the day that freedom gave
a shrek because Kosciusko struck out,
and his name was Goslinsky.
Goslinsky threw good, hard, crooked
balls over the plate, and the two runs
made off of the man who used to do
the kicking for the San Francisco Mar

Zan was in the center pasture, and he
too. has been here before But on for
mer occasions he was behind the bat
where he was much more at home than
out in the field. He dropped two easy
flies that proved disastrous to his peo-
pie. Then Mr.. Sheehan, who chased the
sphere in the left garden, let beauty go
by and his effort was emulated by a GER
tain Bluyth, who held down the second
pillow, and four errors defaced their end

counted.
Old-time Kid Peoples, who used to
do the short stop work for the Sacra-
mento team in we days of long ago, -
was at third base for the visitors, and
well and truly did he play his part He
made a grand stand catch of a foul fly.
and proved that he had lost none of his
old-time ability to connect with the ball.
The Olvmpics failed to score in their
half of the first, but the Gilt Edges
ground out tally Russell was wild
and Nick Smith walked on called balls,
and then stole second. Henesey hit to
Bluyth who fumbled and Smith got
home. Hughes flew out to Peoples, and
| Farrell flew to Breuning, who shot Hen
messy out at first, and it was all off
In the second inning Zan the visitors
little center fielder, hit safe and went
to first. Breuning lined out one be-
tween first and second and Zan went
down to third. Peoples hit to Henesey
and was out at first, and in the mix
up Zan got over the plate. Buyth hit
to Lochhead and died at first and Rus
sell ended the agony by striking out.
The local men failed to score in their
half of the second and in the first of the
third the visitors again got a man over
the plate. Mr.. Van Norden, who took
care of the second station, hit safe over
Smiths head and was safe at first, and
| a second later slid down to second. Cos
linSky, whose ancestor was with Kos
ciusko, foolishly sent out a fly to Pony
Walker and then sat down. Mr. Shee-
han waited till the balls passed by and
| then walked down to first, and Ford.
the doughty backstop, hit out over first
| base, letting in Van Norden Zan
famed out and Breuning hit to Harvey
and was out at first
In their half of the third the local men
spread themselves. Nethercott started
things off right by flying out to Mr..
Sheehan, and Smith pounded out a
grounder into left field for two bags.
Henesey, "the unfortunate flew out
to Breuning. Hughes hit safe over
Breuning's head for two bags. Smith
coming in Farrell hit safe between
first and second for a bag, Hughes NOV
ing on to third. Farrell stole second.
Lochhead hit a hot grounder through
Breuning's territory and Hughes and
Farrell crossed the plate. Shanahan
rolled one to Van Norden and was out
at first.
Neither side scored in the fourth in
ming and tha visitors did not better their
score in the fifth, but here again the
locals let out a link and rolled up five
runs, owing to the glass in RusselPs
arm.
Smith walked on called balls, and tried
for second but was caught mapping.
Henesey sent a beauty to Zan who
dropped it. Hughes hit safe between
first and second and Henesey was safe
on second. Walker poked out a safe one
between second and third, and the bases
were full Then old man Lochhead
swiped a safe one over Bluyth's head,
Henesey, Hughes and Farrell scoring.
Shanahan was given base on balls and
stole second. Harvey struck out. Loeb
head started for home from the third
bag and was chased by Kid Peoples
and punched in the back with the ball
when within three feet of the plate.
Umpire Mcdonald, however gave the
Kid the CLASSY eye'' and gave Loch-
head the tally. Walker hit out safe and
Shanahan tailed. Nethercott hit safe
to center field. Smith walked on called
balls and the bases were again full
Then Henesey tipped a foul into Mr..
Sheehans territory which was gobbled
up, and the inning was over.
In the sixth and seventh innings the
local team gathered in two more runs
and the boys from the Bay got one,
but the lead was too great
