the ball down over the centre and corners /
OF the plate in such a manner that the :
Athletics in the last two innings were /,
mere pygmies before him The last play /
that wound up the Athletics chances was
a swift grounder to Fletcher from Davis's

Then from the stands rolled an army
OF delighted fans who swallowed up the
victorious Giants even though they wore

that their share Of the spoils was more
than $l 900 they seemed to be we'll sat
isfied. although a few Of them remarked
that the sum didn't come up o their ex-

making plans for the future regardless
Of expense and praying for good weather
next week. when the bank roll under
avorable conditions ray be increased
materially.
The game erded at 40 o'clock and
