Spectators Witness a Speedy
Game-Big Crowd
Present

With exception of few wild periods
Gamble pitched great ball for the Hoe
gee Flags at Chutes park yesterday
afternoon, and when nine fast innings
had come to an end the San Diego
PickwickS were losers by score of 3-2
Gamble not only set the speedy
southern men down with one hit but
struck out twelve of the climate stick
ers. Something like 1000 wideawake
fans witnessed the game and clamored
loud and long when the winning Hoe
gee run was hoisted across the plate.
Carnes did valiant service for the
San Diego nine and was stingy with
his bingles allowing the Flags to corral
but four throughout the game.
Gamble early evinced a disposition to
be wild and at various intervals ran
into a bad place by hitting or walking
Pickwick batters. He came away
nicely, however, and the two runs
scored against him were wholly due
to his skittishness.
With two men out in the second
inning Goodman made a corking good
stop of Baines' grounder between sec
ond and first. In an effort to nail
Baines at first he stung a wild one
to Wilkinson, with the result that two
base runners scored.
While no particularly brilliant field
ing was in order both mines played
snappy ball and managed to string out
a few double plays which prevented
scoring.
Carnes is one of the best ali around
pitchers to appear on local diamond.
He fielded his position in speedy style
league experience.
OI6-fiy11orG 1hQrnd Van Hnrna-
left fielder of the San Diego nine, who
played years ago in and around Los
Angeles. Van was at one time spoken
of as major league material but weak
sticking held him back. The same
fault was manifest yesterday, when he
famed twice.
Snappy Double Play
A double by the Pickwicks probably
averted a Hoegee score in the first
inning. Hoegee sent Goodman first to
the plate and he struck out. Cunning
ham drove a long fly to right field
which Pettus dropped, allowing Cum
ningham to reach second. Snodgrass
famed, Goliath dropped the ball.
Instead of mailing Snodgrass at first
he whisked the ball to third, whittier
Cunningham was making tracks.
Cunny started back for second, but
was caught and run down by Harris.
Snodgrass in the meantime had en-
deayored to get second and was also
tagged out.
Then came the second, in which the
San Diego men did all their scoring.
Cawthorne and Van Horne struck out.
Pettus was struck by a pitched ball
and went second when Goliath singled
to center for the solitary Pickwick hit.
BaineS sent a swift grounder wide
- -ooon5 x1,I1ioI, Goodman stabbed and
then whirled tc the grandstand. Be
fore Hoegee fielders could retrieve the
ball Pettus and Goliath scored. Baines
stole second and F. Smith went out,
Gamble to Wilkinson.
The Flags pulled off a double in the
third. After c. Smith walked Harris
bunted in front of the plate. Snod-
grass snapped the ball to Lamer at
second, forcing Smith. Lamer hustled
the sphere on to first and doubled
Harris.
tie score also was brought about
in the third. After Summerville struck
out Goodman singled infield to Balnes.
Cunningham drove a safe one to left
which Van Horne let go between his
legs Goodman scurried around the
bases while Cunningham reached third.
Flags Make Last Run
Snodgrass bunted at a high one
which went over Carnes' head and
through Harris legs. Cunningham
came home while Snodgrass reached
second. Bowman hit to third and
Snodgrass was caught on the nne'
Bowman failed to purloin the sack.
There were big things doing in the
sixth and it appeared as though the
Hoegees had gone their limit. Gam bic
mixed bad with good twirling While
an error and double steal aided the
Pickwicks in creating very bad mess
for the Flags.
Carnes was safe on Wilkinson's error
and stole second Cawthorne walked:
Van Horne struck out and as he dld
SO Carnes and Cawthorne came through
with a double steal Pettus famed,
but Goliath walked, filling the pases'

fouled to Wilkinson.
IT was in the sixth that San Diego
went down to defeat. Snodgrass Walkeo
and went second on a passed ball.
Bowman cleverly sacrificed him third.
I,amer came up with squeeze play

clited a bunt which brought Snodgrass
home. Bowman was out trying 10

Gam.le made his second hit of the

nabbed stealing second. williamson
and Summerville were easy outs.
San Diego hung on for the next two
innings but were unable to tie up the
score.
