innings.

Los Angeles 2, San Francisco 1, ten
innings.
put Oscar Jones down in the dope book
as betting proposition on "only good
track" and also double-star the Angels
as mudders. Yesterday Hen Berry's pets
took the third game of the series from
the Boodlers, and o. Jones helped things
quite a bit on the partially soaked dla-
mond
The real show came about in the tenth
round for the locals, when Oscars 1901
slipped and scattered mud around MS
brain. With two men on the bags. one
on second and another on third, Jones
let Bernard take a clout at the leather
instead of walking him. Bernie hinged
the sphere down to the infield, but there
was no chance for force at second.
The runner beat 1t down to hrst IN
safety and the winning tally came nome
on the hit Had Oscar walked Bernie
the chances are that Carlisle, the next
M. would either have flied out or retired
the side on force at the Keystone station.
Despite the shower, which delayed ac-
tion for twenty-five minutes and admitted
the bleacher customers to the grand
stand. the game was one of the most
brilliant PLAYED here in some weeks, ana
kent the small crowd busy applaudlnS
the fancy stunts.
To begin with, Charlie Irwin banged
out one of those fancy home runs wnlcn
are becoming common on the Chutes ula-
mond. The Frisco leader walloped one
over first base, and although Cravath
made a gallant try to reach the leather
he was not quite quick enough on his
pedestals. The ball lit over back OF the
rs~ht field hleachers and instead OF Keep
ing on its peaceful way took a little
backward English and bounced back over
the inclosure which encompasses the mrs
base bleachers. Cravath was unable 10
get anywhere near the sphere ana irWln
completed the circuit of the bags un-
molested.
tbe Angels decided to get even on the
dov and connected with the tying tally
in the following round. Three safe nits
yuera rarnered off Oscar before one man
was finally sent across the platter and
with the score all even the teams went
to 1t in earnest.
From the fifth inning on 1t was nice
shooting all around and the pllnos wers
f1ll of pot hunters Both Jones anu
BURNS were there with the choicest IN
their repertoire and hits were at a pre-
MUM.
The Boodlers went through their ninth
and tenth rounds with great eclat-but
NO rlns-and when the Angels came to
the bat after the first part of the TENN
had gone by it was even Stevens. But
this did not daunt the local performers
and with the assistance OF the srane
stand they proceeded to get Jones real
number.
Hide Is There
Ellis was the first man up, and the
hest he did was to boost one up in the
air so that Melchoir could pull 1t down
for a putout Bert Delmas, the human
flea at short sent one out to. left held
that looked good for at least single,
but $500 Hildebrand was there with the
soldered mitt and nabbed Bert's enort
after a hard run.
Then came the start of the big show
Robby Eager, the Bresnahan of the Pa
cific coast. trimmed himself of his shin
guards and grasped his trusty willow
with both mitts Oscar sent over GOOD
one and Bobby plucked it for nice
single over third base.
Then oscar slipped the cable for the
first time. Bobby Burns sent slow
one down right in front of the box, and
when Oscar tried to recover he put his
foot in the SOUP and fumbled like man
after an eel. To put things on their
wav Jones shot the leather trifie high
to the initial pillow and Burns was there
with another safe one. while Eager
ambled on to the corner cushion.
II was a cinch for Burns to reach sec
ond. for the Booders paid no attention to
him at all. with Eager so close to the
Mate Bernard led the heavy end OF the
hating again and when he came to the
Mate the fans-what few there were on
hand-started something that listened
like a. real noise. Bernie lined one down
toward second and Tay Streib made an
awful reach for the pill. II was no use,
though. for Burns was over the platter
and Bernard past the first cushion pefore
the ball had reached the fielder's hands,
and the game was over, with another
victory for the Angels.
LII Rube Ellis was about as good
mudder as appeared yesterday, and the
wav the clever center fielder handled
himself was all to the good. In addition
to stretching a two-bagger into three
base hit Rube performed like National
Lacquer in center field, and handled every
thing that came his way in first class
style. In the eighth inning Rube nailed
Piper's almost hit in clever fashion and
practically saved the game for Burns
when he retired the Boodlers on a nice
catch in center held.
Bernard also came through with somt
real playing and he was backed up, al
the way by Delmas, whose work needs
no comment. Bert was there every in
ming in the game, and he certainly pul
up as good an article of ball as any OF
the eastern scouts witnessed when they
were on their grabbing tour few weeks
ago But let 'er go at that, and mention
the figures:
