Hank Harris and his team back into sec
ond position. Last night those Santa
Cruzans who remained at home burned
up a large section of Monterey Bay and
some other things in the exuberance of
their joy.
Since the season opened there has been
a number of sensational games played
here, but that Of yesterday threatened
every minute 10 throw the good spectators
present into Mysteries. There was not a
dull second during the proceedings. Ev
cry one of the eighteen participants was
on his mettle and thrilling deeds followed
each other in bewildering profusion. When
the tumult was all over Mr.. Donlin had
earned the right hereafter to be addressed
by his intimates as Michael; heretofore
he has been plain Mike. For the left
winged lobster had, for the third success
sive game he has gone against them,
transformed the local sluggers into sim
ians.
Santa Cruz has three twirlers and it
was the intention to use one in each
game here. but l.. Balsz who has just
signed a life contract with a charming
Native Daughter, would rot have it so.
Louie was scheduled to pitch Saturdays
game, but that did not suit his fancy. He
had little taste for performing before
empty benches, preferring to earn the
plaudits of the larger Sunday crowd. So
on Saturday the neWly-made benedict
failed to appear in uniform and Donlin
had to go into the game. Yesterday morn
ing Balsz missed connection with the Oak
land Park altogether, leaving Daubenbis
to do the twirling. But in the afternoon
the young man tripped out on the da-
mond decked out in a brand new white
suit and prepared to array himself before
the assemblage. That's where he made
his third bad guess. Manager futile de-
termined that no ball player could trifie

when the team started out in the field for
the first inning, BalsZ was told to wrap
himself up in his sweater and make him
self comfortable on the bench. 1t was
a crushing blow to his aspirations, but he
will not get gay again right away.
Uncle Hanks cohorts went on the
ground flushed with the victory of the
morning and prepared to make it a double
header. But there was nothing about the
Oakland game to make them jubilant.
Daubenbis was as wild as an inmate of
ed them with the contest: 1t happened in
the second inning, when, with one
out, O'Neil was given his base, took sec
ond on a passed ball, stole third and
bis throw to head Tip off. Then Ed was
overcome with generosity and threw out

he wanted to break the monotony, so he
sent fly out to right. Krug Jared better.
for Daubenbis tucked one against his
ribs, filling the bases. Joshua P Riley
the next man up, waited until the Santa
Cruzan got one somewhere near the plate,
which he lifted over the right field fence,
chasing in the three men ahead of him
Runs were picked up in the fifth and
eighth innings, the latter also being the
result of a gift by Daubenbis, and though
the Holsters struggled desperately five

But enough of the morning game. After

Fred Swanton and his band of 200 IA
natics from the seashore invaded the
grand stand early ana every one of them
endured all the agonies of irreclaimable
cranks. They were attacked with cold
feet, hemorrhages and delirium by turns,
their whoops bowls and groans shatter-
ing the Sabbath into a million fragments,
Their boisterous conduct when they were
making any noise at all Jared on the
nerves of the 1900 loyal San Franciscans
present but on the occasions that the
local rooters had a chance to applaud they
responded with such enthusiasm that
Swanton went to his hotel with such a
headache. 1t was a wildly demonstrative

the bleachers at both ends were crowded
nearly the full length.
