The Home Team Was Handicapped
by the Illness of Pitcher
Harvey.

ray before Brick Devereaux ana MS
gang of "San Crabs" and twice the
Crabs wiped up the diamond with
them.
AIisfortunes seldom come singly. They
certainly did not yesterday. 1t was
bad enough to lose the first game
ten-inning game, too-by a score OF .
to ;. but ii was worse to lose the last
one by a score of & to 3.
Devereaux was in his glory. He is
patient waiter, and he had waited long
for yesterday. And when it came ne
made the most of it. He howled ana
whooped and shook his red locks, anu
incidentally played ball. Much as the
crowd gibes at Brick" it likes him
He plays ball all the time, and if any
of his players lack ginger he mas
enough, to go round.
Ten innings - Santa Cruz 3, Gilt
Edge 5.
The morning game was as SLOW as
the proverbial ice wagon, and was oniy
redeemed by Stanley's superior WORK
behind the bat, and Williams clever
stops at second base. Both clubs were
prone to make errors, hits, and any ola
thing.
The locals were sadly handicapped py
the loss of Harvey after the nrst
inning. The blonde boy from the lana
of the centipede, and sidewinder was
taken i'll in the first inning and was
relieved by Doyle in the box, while
Admiral Dewey Dennie went into the
right garden to chase flies.
And the smiling Admiral was not IN
first class condition. He got a couple
Of hard chances, and promptly allowed
them to escape. But his work was
more than offset by that of Louis BaIsz
in the same plat. Nobody ever accused
Balsz of being a top-notch fielder, ana
having no reputation to lose in that
line he declined to make one. That
he is a corker on the slab is too Well
known, but as an outfelder he proved
a dismal failure, promptly dropping
everything that came along.
Eagan put up a neat game at snort
taking a number of extra hard ones,
and slipping up on an easy grounder.
O'Connor at first fumbled two nice
ones. Stulz did a neat turn at sec
ond, and Sheehan at third, while he
had but few chances. accepted them
all and deserved the applause he re-
ceived.
"Old Hoss'' Shanahan carried off the
honors in the outfield, getting under
some exceedingly awkward shots, and
pinching everything that came his way.
For the visitors, Babbit, the new
shortstop. picked up two bad errors.
while Brick" Devereaux at third, like
Sheehan, got few chances, but accepted
them ALL Streib, the big first base
man, swiped out a three-bagger to the
far corner of the lot and took the ap'
plause with baseball dignity.
1t took two and one-half hours to
play the ten innings, and that Santa
Cruz finally won out was due more
TO luck than science. On several oc-
casions the visitors pulled out Of the
nine hole, escaping by the skin Of their
teeth
Both Doyle and Andrews were
touched freely at critical times, and
had their fields been less alert the
runs would have been more than to D.
The Gifts were first to the bat, ana
succeeded in capturing run. After
Mclaughlin had fouled to Morrow. An
drews gave Harvey free transportation
to the initial, and O'Connor spun one
to Devereaux, expiring at the initial and
advancing Harvey to second. Then
Tagan shot one to Williams and was
safe on his broad throw TO first, and
Harvey scored. Stanley sent one to Dal-
rymple, who dropped it, landing Eagan
on third, but Doyle retired the side by
going out at first via Williams.
But the Sand Crabs evened matters
up in their half. Harvey gave Will
Jams a base on balls. and the latter
went to second on Rabbits sacrifice
Devereaux rolled one to Stulz, and was
out at the initial. Williams on third
tDrennan poked one to OConnor, and
Williams scored on the big fellows er-
Tor. and Strefb ended the chance by
tanning the wind and the score was
tied.
Each side drew q blank in the second
inning. but in the third the Gilts peg
ged another tally, and Captain Brick
Devereaux looked worried. Mclaughlin
went out at first, the assist going to
Williams. Andrews gave Big Mike"
q base on balls, and Eagan lashed out
a two-bagger to left field bringing IN
O'Connor And that was why Dew
ereaux looked worried.
But in the third the Sand Crabs tooh
sweet revenge in the shape of three
great big runs, and smiles chased the
shadows from "Capting Bricks" mo-
bile features. Babbit got TO first on
called balls and Devereaux went out at
first owing to a failure to connect by
the Eagan-O'Conno route. brennan
drove one through Dennie whom the
fates had sent to right field, and Babbit
and Devereaux scored. Streib and Dali
rymple proved easy marks, and Balsz
sent one into DENIES territory and
went around to third. while brennan
crossed the plate. Morrow did the
honors by striking out and the score
was 4 to 2, with the locals on the
wrong end.
Gooseeggs were the result Of the
fourth inning, but ia their half of the
fifth the Gilts evened up matters.
O'Connor took a base on balls and went
around to third on Morrow's wide throw
TO shut him off at second. Stanley
ripped off safe one to center field
and O'Connor scored, and the former
went to second on Doyle's safe crack
to center field. Shanahan also broke
off a safe one to center field and STAN
