SECOND GAME is
WON BY SANTA
CLARA
ST. Mary's Team Is Defeated in
an Exciting Contest by a
Score of 4 TO
BY Joe Murphy

BY defeating st. Mary's college base
/ ball team yesterday on the campus of
St Ignatius college the ball tossers of
Santa Clara won back the prestige they
lost a week ago to the Oakland col
|legians, and the question of supremacy
on the diamond will be settled in a de-
Gliding game which will be played soon.
The baseball battle yesterday was
keenly waged. and it was contest
worth going a long way to see. The
bleachers were packed by members OF
each college and their sympathizers.
Score: Santa Clara 4 ST. Marys l.
Hart, who pitched the famous game
last week. when lie did not allow a
Santa Clara batsman to get a hit off
him. was named to do the firing work
for. his college The valley coliegians
still had faith in Friene, and he was
elected to do the mound work for his
team.
Both pitchers twirled in mastery
style. While Hart did not show the
form he displayed at Freeman's park,
his performance yesterday was a meri-
torious one. Only four bingles We're
secured off his delivery, but unfortu-
.nately two of them came in one frame
after he had passed two men. His
wildness in this inning was costly and
it was mainly responsible for the de-
feat of his team. st. Mary's boys played
good ball behind Hart, and except for
these two passes an extra inning game
might have resulted.
The contest began with st. Mary 5
players going after Friene, and for a
moment it appeared that the husky
twirler from the valley college was in
for a slaughtering. Two hits were
annexed off his delivery in the first
inning, but a sensational stop at third
by Reams prevented score from being
made.
In the second frame Friene was
touched up in a lively manner. and the
first score of the game was registered.
After Wilcox walked Corriea forced
him at second with an infield grounder.
The best Leonard could do was to
knock a grounder to one of the in
fielders, but Corriea moved up a peg
on the out. st. Mary's rooters took
hope when Hart hit a beautiful one to
right field for two bases, scoring the
first run.
The third inning was the fatal
frame for the Phoenix team. Hart tenn
porarily lost his bearing and passed
Dooling and Salberg, the first men up.
There was plenty of noise from the
Santa Clara rooters, and they called
for Peters to do the big thing The
clever first baseman was the man on
the job. and with healthy bingle to
right field he brought in Dooling. Dom
ovan laid a clever bunt down along the
first base line and Salberg scored Nc
Govern swung on one of Hart's choicest
and landed the sphere in center field,
and Peters scored. Hart got the next
man and Santa Clara retired
This lead did not discourage st.
Mary's boys, and they kept plugging
along. However. Friene was getting
better, and the enemy did not have
much success with his offerings after
the first two frames. All the heavy
hitters looked alike for the Santa Clara
pitcher. and only one man got as far as
third after the second inning.
In the eighth, Santa Clara got
another tally. Donovan worked Hart
for a pass and went to second on a
passed ball. McGovern hit a slow
bounder to short which went for a hit,
Donovan raced home from second on
the hit, and the final tally of the game
was registered
The fielding on both sides was gilt
edged, and banner crowd will
certainly be on hand when the final
game is played between the colleges.
as yesterdays game was a fine exhibit- :
ion of the national pastime
Score.
