Chutes might have been made into

1t all came about because the antique

eighth inning when, after the Refugees
had batted their turn out the Angels
came in and only one man, Bernard,
was given a chance with the club. In

Run Forced Home

Dolly helped things along in the sec
ond by walking a man after he had
three already on the cushions, thus
forcing run home. Williams and
Murphy were both thrown out at first
before the fun began, but with two
in the tower Street was given a pass.
Henley singled past short, and when
the ball caromed off Ellis shins Street
went to third. Spencer jumped in
front of one of Gray's benders and
Derrick let him go to first, filling the
pillows.
While Mohler was at the bat Street
tried to get home on the squeeze play,
but the kid forgot to hit the ball and
fouled just as Street reached the plate.
Mohler stuck around long enough to
be passed to first and Street hiked
home without an effort. Wheeler
ended the period by sending fly out
to Cravath, which was well taken
care of.
The Angels overlooked their first
chance to score in the third round when
a man got to third with only one down.
Carlisle opened up by drawing trans
portation to first and was sent on his
way when Ellis laid down pretty
sacrifice. Bernard tore off single to
right that sent Carlisle to third, but
Smith and Dillon tpth fell down in
getting the man on third home, even
after Bernard had purloined second.

Henley There with Wing

Again in the fifth it looked disas-

twirler was there with the salve and
succeeded in retiring the Angels with
out run. Gray reached first because
Nick Williams dropped Irwin's throw
from Dolly's grounder, and after seeing
Carlisle foul out Ellis slammed the
leather to Mohler, the ball taking a
bad bounce. Gray kept on to third
and Ellis was safe at the initial pillow,
but Dolly could get no further than
the corner sack. When Bernard fouled
to Street the catcher threw to second
to get Ellis, and when Dolly tried to
sneak home on the play Mohler sent
the ball back in plenty of time to nail
Gray before he reached the platter
Los Angeles overlooked a bet in the
seventh, and after Bernard had gone
out, Henley to Williams, in the eighth
round, Derrick called the game and
raised the commotion. The figures:

Locals Had Chances
Before Mr.. Derrick made the little
faux mas of which he is accused the
locals had plenty of chance to score.
The two runs handed the visitors were
presented early in the game, and IN
several periods thereafter the Angels
had men on the stations whose crossing
the final station looked to be cinch.
But they couldn't connect with Henley
for the necessary hits, so the Refugees
got away with the final game of the
series.
Being the last game that will be
played here for many long weeks
good crowd wandered out to see the
teams battle. The Boosters Brigade,
whooping things up for Santa Cruz,
was there with a swell band, and in
between innings the musicers made
merry with the noise, rendered in tune
full airs.
But that didn't help any, for Dolly
Gray, delivered the sticky ones for
Hen Berry's aggregation, had his usual
bad inning-in fact two of them-and
the Seals were there to take advantage
of the opportunity.
Right in the first spasm after Spencer
had been sent to the bench because
Delmas fielded his grounder to Dillon
in plenty of time Dolly allowed Kid
Mohler to get on the bags on four
wide ones. Wheeler nailed one on the
seam for a clean single over third, and
the kid reached the corner bag, while
George was making second.
1t was then up to Mr.. Hildebrand but
Happy Hogan came to the rescue with
a wild throw away over second while
trying to catch Wheeler off the bag,
and Mohler scored That was all there

RECENT DEATHS.
Two More Old Timers Have
Crossed The Great Divide.
RICHARD MORTON.

Ben Hastings received a letter from
the brother OF Richard Morton, popu-
larly known in Owyhee as "Blue Dick, :"
stating that the latter had died at the
Sisters Hospital, Phoenix, Arizona, (not
giving th@ date Of his demise) and that
he had been kindly cared for to the end
The letter stated that the doctors called
his complaint catarrh Of the lungs and
they thought they would soon have him
out again, and for time he improved
rapidly, but he caught cold and died
suddenly.
Deceased was born at Hannibal, Mo-,
in 1886 He was a second cousin OF
Samuel L. Clemens Mark Twain) whom
in some of his characteristics he resem-
bled. He came to California when a
young man, and followed placer mining
nearly up To the time of his last illness.
He drifted 10 Idaho Basin in the excit-
ing days of that great camp, and was
one of the first men to visit Owyhee on
the south side of the river. Although
he called this his home, he did not re-
main here cont. uously, but wandered
about the country, a persistent placer
prospector, he and his horse, dog and
outfit being familiar to people dwelling
in all the wilds OF this part of the coun-
try, but latterly he worked old or poor
placer ground hereabout.
1t will be remembered that last fall,
i'll and poor, he asked to be received in
the county poor house, but only re-
NAMED there short time until his
friends raised money and sent him to
Los Angeles, where he had said he had
a brother living. But after reaching
there he found his brother had remov-
ed to Arizona, and he went on there
and remained there, until taken to the
hospital where he died.
Poor old Dick He will long be re-
membered here as quaint and kindly
humorous character, honest and inde-
pendent-a typical placer prospector,
who, when fortune was kind to him, was
generous to fault, and who, when
short of means, asked for few favors.
