The fans were treated to a glimpse
Of Uncle's 1904 layout on the firing
line yesterday afternoon and the thou
sand or more that graced the bleach
ers and stands at the South Side park
went away when 1T was all over feel
ing rather satisfied, for the native toss
ers fought battle that savored Of
real baseball. Chicago was worried
for many innings, but finally Casey
put the ball over the right field fence
in the eleventh and then all was over.
Though the game was interesting
and hair raising at intervals it did not
look like a championship struggle.
The Chicago team is a fairly fast ag-
gregation, but San Francisco has seen
better ball teams in action, notably the
All Americans and the Nationals.
Though the visiting stars have had the
advantage of a lot of practice in the
last few weeks, they did not outclass
nor outplay the home aggregation to
any alarming extent.
Cutter, who tossed the twisters for
Uncle, had a good day. He was steady
and lucky and also the umpire favored
him some. Taking these things into
consideration, he gave a very fair ac-
count of himself
Chicago fielded a lot better than did
the native colts. Anderson really lost
the game for San Francisco in the sec
ond inning. when his rank error let in
two runs. The teams were about even
up in the hitting department, but the
Chicago stars shone brightly on the
bases and were ever ready to turn
trick there that might mean run.
Dick Brown started in on the slab
for the big leaguers and Uncle's kids
began to wallop his offerings right
away. He walked Hildebrand, the sec
ond man up. Meany hit straggIer to
second and Evers fell down in trying
to field il. Irwin shot the ball over
the third sack and on this neat bingle
Hildebrand came in. Leahy followed
with one out to center, which allowed
Meany to land
Chicago opened up in the second.
O'Neill drew the only pass that Cutter
issued during the engagement. Cor
ridon and Tinker hit. Then Evers
lined one at Anderson and he booted
the ball. This let O'NeiIl in and shortly
after Corridor came around on Browns s
force of Evers at second. An error by
Irwin gave the visitors a start in the
fourth inning. Then two more hits by
Evers and Brown brought home a pair
of runs.
In the seventh Lundgren went into
the box for the big leaguers and the
natives celebrated the event by getting
to him for two runs in a twinkling.
He was wild and walked Leahy, the
first man to face him. Then Massey
hit. but Schmeer forced Leahy at third
Cutter drove one into right field and
Waldron followed with another that
scored Massey. Hildebrand kept up
the bombardment with a drive over
second, sending in Meany and tying
up the score.
1t remained a deadlock till the
eleventh. Both teams settled down
and no more errors followed. 1t look
ed good for about fifteen innings when
Chicago had two men put out in quick
order in the eleventh, but Casey's
mighty swat over the right field in
closure ended it all, for San Francisco
could not come through with a run or
a hit in it's half of the same round.
The same teams will hook up again
this afternoon at o'clock. The score:
