Everything that goes to make q
first-class bail game was on tap yes
terday afternoon at Athletic Park.
Sharp fielding, men on bases often
enough to keep the rooters in sus-
pense, snappy playing and no wrang-
les over decisions, and not a run
scored in eleven and half frames
these we're some of the features OF
the game that turned out to be the
Z best Of the year. The p. A. Cs. took
Stanford's number, but the game was
decided by so small a margin that ii
was anybody's right up to the moment
that Terry jnggled a ground ball off
NJ Ornellas' bat. while Scott came
across with the winning run.
Two errors figured in the lone tally
that went up on the score board. and
this was pity, for the game was Sc
fast and so clean that the fans would
have liked to see 1t won on an earned
run. II seemed too bad that the
splendid game which Maple pitched
should have been lost by the men be-
hind him, but both errors were on
hard chances, and more excusable, not
being OF the bonehead variety Maple
pitched in big league style. striking
out seven and allowing only four hits.
and what was still more to his credit,
was steady as clockwork, and used his
head at all times He didn't issue a
pass, and was especially effective in
the tight places.
Medelros IN Form.
aSmiling Tony" Medeiros was on
the firing line for the Portuguese,
and with IL strike-outs and six scat
tered hits, he certainly did his part
toward bringing victory to the locals.
The luck OF the game broke better for
Medeiros than It did for the Stanford
slabster, though, and his support held
like a rock. except in the first two
frames, and in the eleventh. In both
the first and second innings q man
was perched on third with only zone
gone, but Medeiros was equal TO the
occasion. striking out the next two
hntters 10 the first. while one strike
out and ~ iiii6ld play disposed Of the
side in the second. In the eleventh II
looked as though Stanford might get
q man across, when with two gone
Scott juggled Worhman's bounder and
Dent followed with a hit that dropped
Just out of reach Of the shortstop and
third baseman. Tony pulled himself
together and famed Maple, at this
critical stage Of the game, when a
single would have meant a pair Of
runs, and almost certainly the game.
The winning run came when only
one was out. J. Ornellas came up
first in the last half of the twelfth,
and poled one to Argabrite in center.
Then Scott who had whitfield three
times in row, sent a rather awk-
ward grounder between first and Sec
ond. Cass had to run toward the key
stone sack TO field the ball, and he
booted II enough to give Scott life.
The 25th infantry star then stole sec
ond, being safe on a wide throw from
Dent. and while M. Ornellas was at
bat, annexed the third cushion as well.
OrneIlas lift sharply toward short, and
Terry ran in fast to make the play at
the plate. He couldn't scoop the ball
up in time. and Scott and the game
were both over before he was ready
to throw.
Banner Crowd.
The game was full of thrills, and
Zoo wildly enthusiastic fans enjoy
ed them. Not another person could
have got into the grandstand without
the aid of shoe horn, and almost
every bleaeher seat was occupied. AL
though the home team naturally had
the sympathy of the crowd. 1t was a
fair minded bunch of fans, and any
brilliant play by the collegians was
sure of generous applause. The root
ing was good natured, and no attempt
was made to rag the opposition, or to
send Maple up In the afr. II was
gentleman's game throughout, and al
though the Stanfordites thought they
got a little the worst OF it on balls
and strikes once or twice, they con-
fined their kicking. to greived looks
and helpless Gestures There were one
or two close decisions on bases also,
but little kicking on either side. Stay
ton .umpired behind the bat, with
Bruins on bases, and both gave salts
faction.
La Mere caught a beautiful game,
and he had TO extend himself at times,
for Medeirose made some heaves that
were good ways from the plate, and
that would have spelled ruin had they
gotten away from the catcher. He
made only one slip-up, when he drop
ped foul fly which was right under
the roof, and into the sun as well. No
damage was done, though, as the bat
ter didn't reach first, but for a minute
it looked as though the tumble would
cut the strings from Medeiros,i who
was right behind La Mere and might
have made the catch himself.
Lots of Pep.
The Portuguese team playei togeth-
er all the time, and showed lots of pep
and ginger. Souza worked as hard as
usual round the third station, but he
slipped up on his base running in the
third, when he was caught of second
with the bases full and only one gone.
A beautiful throw by Dent caught him
