HOW DOYLE SAVED THE DAY.
TURNED A PROMISED DEFEAT
INTO A VICTORY.
Another Snappy Game Won by the
Sacramentos From the Bay
City Team.

Uncle Harris men seemed to have
cinch on yesterdays ball game until
the eighth inning, when Doyle inter-
vened. When things intervene in
baseball game where the score is close
something has to drop, and something
dropped yesterday. The ball dropped
over the left field fence, and three run
ners crossed the plate, winning the
game.
The crowd, which was the largest or
the season, howled and howled and
yelled for the lanky pitcher, and
Doyle, being modest, forgot to take off
his cap.
The game was gingery and snappy
from start to finish, and though it at
first looked like a victory for the IN
vaders. the hired young men who rep
resent this city kept pegging away un-
til the aforementioned Charlie Doyle
interviewed. The locals, even when the
prospect was dreariest, never thought
of quitting. Even Matt Stanley, whose
hand was split in the first inning, could
not have been driven off the grounds
with club.
Uncles men played good ball, and
Iberg, who was again put in the box,
pitched even better game than on
Saturday. But opposed to him was
the silent youth who winters in the
land of the side winder and his streaks
and curves and shoots were choice
collection which the visitors had no
license to hit. Just four hits, according
to the score, We're what the visitors did
to Harvey, but two of those "a. R. -

high bound, he reached, but dropped.
There were among the spectators some
who possibly believe that Eagan's err
rors were kept down at Harvey's ex-
pense, but the scorer was right, both
chances being hard ones.
But Harvey, for all he was an enigma
to Tip O'Neilrs Courthouse gang, was
responsible for two of the three runs
made by them. In the first inning
Hilderbrand hoped a grounder over
Eagan's fingers and was safe at the
initial. Then Muller hunted one which
Harvey picked up and fired over O'Con-
nor's head, far against the right field
fence. and while Hilderbrand was scor-
ing Muller was getting a grip on the
third station. Carl Krug faced the
music, and Stanley's hand was split by
pitched ball.. Then Krug spun one
down to Stulz and died at first, but
while he was gasping his last Muller
brought in the second run.
The visitors took their third and last
run in the fifth inning. After Iberg
and Hilderbrand had struck out. Har-
vey gave Muller a base on balls. A
moment later the nmble fielder went
to third on a passed ball, and scored
on Krugs safe drive over Harvey and
along second base
In the sixth the locals took their first
tally. Iberg gave Mclaughlin a free
pass to first, and Harvey advanced him
to second on a safe bunt O'Connor
drove a safe one to left field and the
bases were full, with nobody gone, and
it looked as though the fireworks were
about to begin. Eagan fired one at
Riley and was out on first, and Nc
Laughlin scored. but there the fun
ended. Stanley dropped one to Hilder-
brand and Doyle sent one out to Pyne.
AS already related, Doyle won for his
team in the eighth Harvey hunted safe

and after Stanley had struck out Doyle
lifted the ball over the fence bringing
in O'Connor and Eagan.
In the second. the local people put up
pretty double play. With Pyne on
third, Iberg drove a warm one to Har-
vey, who shot him out at first, and
O'Connor5sent the ball back to Stanley.

Hennie Stulz kept up his great work
at second. captured everything that
went his way, and made a phenomenal
catch of a high fly we'll back in right
field.
OConnell umpired a fine game giving
equal justice to both sides; nothing
more, nothing less His work yesterday
was never excelled here, even by Mich
ael Angelo Fisher, who is far superior
to any umpire ever cursed by Sacra-
mento citizens.
