TOOK A FALL FROM THE SAN
FRANCISCO TEAM.
Sullivan and O'Conne1I Exchange
Compliments While the
Game Goes On.

The ability of the Gilt Edges to
straighten out Iberg's curves and the
inability of the San Franciscos to locate
Doyle's offerings, brought victory TO
the home team yesterday, the score be-
ing 6 to g.
Doyle dished out the game Of his lite.
He was a ring puzzle all WOOL ana a
yard wide In the first inning, Hllder-
brand touched him to the far corner Tor
three bases and scored on fy-out,
but then Doyle drew the cinch. SO 1t
happened that at the beginning of the
ninth inning. one run, one hit, and one
base on balls were the best the people
from the land of fog could hold up
against him.
In the ninth inning the visitors, who
We're five runs to the bad, made a bid
for the game. Ham Iberg struck out
and then Brockoff, he of the war whoop
and smiling features, tore off a safe
single into the center pasture. Hilder-
brand, the hardest batter of the team,
followed and ripped one into the left
field for two bases landing Brockoff on
third. Krug struck out, and Doyle gave
Sullivan a base on balls, his second of
the game, and the cushions We're full.
Courtney rolled a beauty to Sheehan,
who fired it at O'ConnQr. The ball went
low, and O'COnnor, who is not as nim-
ble as d colt. let it roll back to the
fence and Brockoff and Hilderbrand
scored. Riley closed the bid by flying
out to Shanahan.
The local people put up a neat game
in the field, and with the exception of
Sheehan's pair, the error column was
clean. Doyle was given great support,
and had Harvey had the same kind on
Saturday, he would have won in a can
ter.
At the bat the locals nearly duplica-
ted the work done at Saturdays game.
In the first inning, Mclaughlin. he of
the peaceful features and sprinting pro-
clivities, dropped a two bagger in left
field and went to third on Harvey's
sacrifice. O'Connor sent a safe ground
er into left field and Mclaughlin
crossed the plate and then "Truckerino'
Eagan faced the music and lifted the
leather over the east fence for a home
run, bringing in O'Connor. Eagan. by
the way, turned a similar trick at Sat
urday's game.
In the third inning two more runs
We're pegged. brought in by O'Connor' s
nome run. Mclaughlin, after making
his hit, was caught in the attempt to
purloin the second bag, and Harvey
rolled slow one to Krug and was safe.
Then O'Connor got under one of Iberg's
choicest and dropped it into a mudhole
over the fence and Harvey strayed in.
in h. s,,+l ~
six runs in ALL
The field work on both sides was
snappy and full of ginger. Krug and
Iruckerino" put up games at short
that were never beaten, and other play
ers came in for a share Of the ap-
plause.
In the third inning Umpire Jack
O'Conneu and Sullivan, the San Fran
cisco catcher mixed up in a wordv
war which closed, evidently. satfsfac-
tory to both parties.
sullivan, who is usually a quiet chan.
was sitting on the bench, but was talk
ing either to or at O'Connen. too low.
however, for the spectators to hear
what was said O'Connell, who was in
the center of the diamond. roared out:
You shut your mouth"
4 won't do it," retorted Sullivan.
You get out Of the game!" shouted
O'Conneu.
Aou go to HI" howled Sullivan.
Harris!" called O'ConneH. and as
Uncle" Harris walked over toward
his batch Of experts. -O'ConneH contfn-
ued; Harris, I fined Sullivan So
You re a ID liarp' returned Sui
Hvan. And then the game went on.
O'Connen apparently satisfied that he
had shot away" five of Sullivan's dol
lars and sullivan seemingly happy that
ne had cursed O'Connen to his hearts
content and had the last word.
Ihere were those in the crowd who
did not like the exhibition Billingsgate
IS a very cheap article and the patrons
OF the game do not care to pay money
10 near 1t. O'Connor, too, at another
stage of the game, turned himself loose
and cursed 0'Connell so that all the
crowd might hear, but O'Conneu i'm
posed no fine. He had had a taste
of how Sullivan could murder tba
Queens English and evidently had no
desire to stir Big Mike" up to find out
how he could juggle the Irish Of it.
Verify the life of an umpire is laid in
rocky places.
The game, aside from the disgraceful
brawls on the diamond, was a good one.
and the crowd, while not so large as
during the summer season, was big and
appreciative.
While the annexed problem will not
tell how Sullivan and O'Connen fired
choice epithets at Umpire Jack OCon-
nell, nor how the latter got even by
fning Sullivan, it will tell in detail how
the goose-egg were deposited.
