THE BOSTONS WIN. But the Game Was Hotly Contested. TEN INNINGS WERE PLAYED. Unhappy McGucken Furnished Considerable Incident and Surprised the Bean-Eaters. ASEBALL such as you read about was played at the Haight- street grounds yesierday afternoon, and upward of 7000 people viewed the scene with ill suppressed enthusiasm.

The center of attraction was the aggregation of bean eaters from the far East, who had come 3000 miles to show themselves to the admiring populace and incidentally to give the local professionals a few points -on the great national game. The first part of the programme was carried out to perfection, but when it came to the proposition of playing ball they found that the gentlemen from the sunny Bide of Market street knew a thing or two -themselves, and were not bashful about 'displaying their knowledge. However, with the valuable assistance of Umpire Donahue the National League champions managed to squeeze out in the last calf of the tenth inning with one small run to the pood, and thus saved themselves from feat. As early as 12 o'clock noon the crowd began to file in through the gates and select choice seats in the grand stand. As Davis Makes a Home Run.

the string of people before the ticket dows steadily increased Manager Gilbert's "smile began to expand, and long before 2:30 o'clock it had reached the limits of is countenance and was bidding for more space. It looked like old times to see the bleachers black with people away down to carriage entrance on the left and around to the right field foul line on the The seating capacity of the grand -stand was very much overworked, as were the surrounding hills and neighboring housetops. The fat young man who perses wean lemonade and weaker to the rabble reduced his weight ten pounds and ruined his stand-up collar try ing to supply the crvlng needs of the great crowd. Probably 7500 witnessed the game a and do ereater crowd iias assembled inside gates since the inter-university ball game of last year. locals were the first on the ground, and" in their practice they showed that the wor- of the last week had fitted them to play a great game.

When the Bostons matched, up from the clubhouse preceded by a brass band playing the very appro- fprljate air of "Yankee Doodle" the crowd stood up ana shouted itself hoarse. Their practice gave the spectators a chance to pick out the individual players, and each one was applauded on the slightest "Dummy' Hoy, the deaf-mute, sprans at once into popular favor, and 3 though be accepted some hard chances hi position in center field was played without v'HM error. If the visitors thought they had a "cinch" they were early undeceived. Their first was when P. Knell stepped into the pitcher's box and began shoving a few of his southpaw curves over the plate.

They looked easy. but owing to our mild yj winter climate the bean-eaters could not I find them. Then again they had been told that Shortstop Pequigney was an amateur and therefore not eligible to the society of the great men from the East. But after little "Peek" bad accepted nine chances and eot them all they began to wish they could Keep the ball from going in his direction. Unhappy McGucken also considerable episode by ripping off tn-socker in the third inning.

Hoy never said a word during the game, but First Baseman Becklev used his horn voice to good advantage. His ing started the nails in the back field fence and made the statue on the bill turn her lace toward the wall. Id the first inning McGucken hit safe.

Sweeney fouled out and the justly orated Reuben Levy took first on an error by DaTis. Sharp was thrown out first, and Power retired the side by hitting an eas-y one into Hoy's waiting hands.

Unhappy McGucken was first up for the third inning, and after preseutinc the com pliments of the season to Mr. Nichols of Boston, ripped off a ihree-bagger and was wildly applauded. Sweeney was out at first.

Robertson Makes a Bold Bid for The Bird That Saved the Game After All. The Alamedas have kept their place and retained the championship, besides which they have captured the trophy presented by William Greer Harrison, president of the association.

The great game played yesterday at Golden Gate between the Alumedas and the San Franciscos, on which depended the championship honors for the season of 1893, was the best and most exciting contest of the season. Each team put in its full strength and it was only after a very close struggle that the Alamedas were declared victors. The scores were: Alamedas 131, San Frauciscos 110. In every game of cricket, as in every game of anything else, there is ah element of what is called luck. It is a rare occurrence for an entirely errorless game to De played, and it is often at the critical point of the contest that some little hitch occurs that materially alters the Issue.

And yet it is always to be noticed that in the long run, luck or no luck, the best team will win at any game. So it has been with the Alamedas, although their lucky star seemed to shine unusually brightly upon them yesterday. For, after they had gone into bat and live I wickets had fallen for twenty-four runs, I instead of the usual "rot" setting in. the I score was built Dp at the end of the inning in a very unexpected manner, and a number of runs added on that virtually insured a victory. A large concourse of spectators asj sembled ou the prettily situated ground, and the gate-keepers did a thriving trade at 25 cents a head for admission.

Before the match started the new delegates lrom the several club? forming the i association met and elected the umpires. i F. A. Alison of the Californias and A. G.

Sheath of the Pacifies were asked to unj dertake the thankless task. Alamedas went in first, and sent R. B. Rogue and EL Hood to the wickets. Billy Robertson and l'urdy did tbo bowling.

Misfortune descenued upou the at the outset, for "Teddy" Hood, the Alameilu captain, was caiiiilit from his second ball. Randall, Slouian, Newmau, Brown and Halton soon followed, and it was not until six wickets had fallen for a small number of runs that any sort of a stand made. At that juncture Ward came in to assist liogue, who was still playing careful cricket. Ward played steadily and kept his end up well, and wnen he retired Price did yeoman service in his stead. So tue Sd re grew until nine wickets were down for runs.

Then came a surprise. The eleventh man, J. V. Bird, a new hand at the game, came in to assist Iloijue, and instead of doing he should have dove by allowing Robertson to bowl him first ball, lie showed his contempt for tine, bowling by driving Ihe San Francisco captain to the, boundary. This gave him confidence ana he bit merrily to left and ripht until Hogue was caught at the wickets and the uovite touud himself recorded "seventeen, nut out." Hcgue received an ovation, of course.

i and indeed his of 53 was the saving clause of an otherwise not over I brilliant record fnr strong batting teum i like Alatueda. All the stars bad f.illen, and Hogue alone above with his brilliancy, lie certainly gave one chance if not two, but on ttie wlioie his pertormanne was deserving of credit. The stand made on tliu last wicket was extremely useful, and the innings closed for the respectable total of I3L Robertson took six wickets for 5'J, and Purdy three for 55 runs. Undaunted by the thoughts of the hard set them, the San Franciscus wfini into bat, Webster and Warren to the wickets to lace thn bowling of Sloman and young Ward. Warren did not stop long, as Ranuall smartly took him at point, and liis place was taken by the redoubtable Billy Robertson.

The San Francisco captain was heartily cheered as he walked to the wicket. Webster and Robertson stood together for long tune, when Webster, who had beeu in some time for n'no runs, made in his usual style, was beaten by Slomari, and the Hearts of the San Franciscus sank. Wickets fell after that with rapidity, but still Robeitson kept on, playing with great generalship and judgment. He continued to arrange matters so that as many ball-j as possible fell to his share, and when he hit at all lie hit hard, and was evidently hoping to win the game off his own bat. Seven wickets wore down for 7G when Nixon camo in to join his captain, ami another stand was Diadf.

The score crept up until 108 runs had been registered ou the telegraph board, and victory seemed assured lor the Frarsciseos. But, alas, in attempting to drivo llniiue over the trees at the far end of the ground Kobertsnn putono up in the air, and it was well taken by Halton. Robertson made GB, and only gave two chances, the second of which caused his retirement. It was conceded by all on-lookers that had he been fortunate enough to carry out his bat he would have won the game. He made a great effort, but he was poorly supported.

Nixon stayed where he whs, and carried iut hi.i bat for 10, but the two remaining batsmen did nothing, and the whole side was out for 110, leaving the Alamedas victors by 21 runs. Four bowlers were tried in this inning. Voting Ward took 1 wicket for 40, Sloiuan 5 for 43, Newman 2 for 13, and Hoguo 2 for 9 runs. In this manner the Alamedas retained the championship, and carried off the association trophy for the season Following are the full scores: AI.AMKDAS. R.

The Mist Takes First, the Florence Second Prize. The final decision on Saturday races of the Encinal Boat Club was rendered yesterday by the judge-. This ends the racing season and shcwa that the Mist stands first and Florence second in the first class, the Vixen, and Red Imp even tor first place in the second class and thf Ft-ariess second.

The Dulce at the top of the list in the class. They have hart morn races than any othei club on the bay, not barring the navy. The standing of the yachts for ihe prizes IT- red by Commodore Joseph A. Leonard of the Edciiihl Boat Club of Aiameda are as follows: The first eftallenct race was on May 30 in a fair wind that could not called strong. This was won bj the st.

lime, 1:23:20. Laitwing second, time Florence third, tune On the run in it will be remembered that tne Florence broke her spinnaker booiu. There were only tnree starters In this class. Then the race on August 12 was wo-i by the Mist in 1:111:40, corrected time, Florence second and Lapwing third, three barters; the race September was won by the Florence, time 1:27:45, Mist second, Little Annie third, four sianers. next was on Seritember 16, and wns wou by the Mist in 1:28:02, Florence second, Lapwing third, four starters.

October 23, Florence first, Lapwing second and Liuie Annie third, four starters. This would make it for the first class. Mist three first, one second, one third, with 60 uer cent; Florence two first, two second and one third, with 40 per ceni Lapwing one second and three third Little Annie one second find two third. The Lapwing and Little Annie do not make a percentage as they did not take a first. For the second class we have on May 30 Vixen first, Caprice second, Flora third; four starters.

On August 12 the Caprice came in first. Fearless second; two starters. Next was on September 3. The Vixpn was first and Fearless second two starters. On September 1G the Red Imp first, Vixen second, no third; three starters.

On October Itt Red Imp was and the Caprice and Fearless disqualified. This eives the Vixen two first and one second, Imp two first and Fearless two second, with Caprice one first and one second, with Floia one third. By this it may be seen that Mist takes first arize and the Florence, Red Imp and Vixen are tie for second prize. Neither the Vixon nor the Red Imp will sail this tie off with the Florence, as they would stand hardly any chance. The priz9 will co to the Florence.

Bente. He was taken to the Folaom-street AFTER A SPHERE. Football in Its Various Phases. A VERY POPULAR PASTIME. The Association, Gaelic and Inter- Coliegiate Games as Played on Several Grounds.

A hotly contested game of association fuoball was played at Centml Park afternoon between the Rangers aud Thistles. The blne-shirted Thistles won, with a score of 3to 0. The attendance was only fair, but the gams was none the lesa exciting for that, und those who were present enjoyed the sport most hilariously. Every spectator was a red-hot partisan, and though no one lost his temper, every one was bent on giving his advice to this or that player or team in a not inaudible tone. Patrick A.

F. Keefe acted as referee, and succeeded in getting himself mildly 1 1 1 1 1 at once or twice, but when It was all over he was freely furgiven for his real or seeming mistakes, aud the best of good humor prevailed. For the winning team King was lineman, while Reiss watched the chalk for the Rangers. King made a couple of decisions that were manifestly wmnp, but it could hardly be said that either or both of them influenced the result In auy way. In the first half the Thistles scored two goals, though not without fighting zealously for them.

The Rangers were ourkicked, but only ntier the hardest kind of a battle, and the have good cause to be proud of their victory. Goalman Brown, for the Rangers, made several good plays, and saved more thun one score that was nearly nride. As much, though, could bo. said for Low, who stood at the Thistles' stile. Again and again the Rangers got the ball to him and tried to puss him, but could not.

He was very much awake all through the game. Association football is the game to look' at. To the uninitiated spectator it Is far more interesting than either the ititercollegiate uamu or baseball. It is a vigorous moving game, anrt many elements of danger contained in the. rougher play, where hands are used as well as feet.

You know at once what they are trying to do, and you can't help getting excited a bit wtien Rangers have succeeded in kicking the ball from their own goal past the forwards and half-back aud into the bacK division, only to te met with a sly kick or butt from the Thistles at the most unexpected moment, which sends the ball to tlie goal it was started from. That's the way it went yesterday afternoon. Rangers made a good fishf, but they seemed to lack in cleverness, all that the Thistles possessed. The Rangers kicked as hard and as high when the ball came their way, but they seemed to lack the skill to niaKe it come their way very often. It wns rather a defensive game from the time the first goal was made, the Rangers realizing that they were going to have their hands lull to prevent the jl'histles from gamine: more goals.

Hie quickest work of the game was immediately after time was called for the second half. It took the Thistles just about three minutes to get the leuther into the goal. They made a brilliant dash for it, and kicked and ran and butted so fiercely for the time that they carried the fii-ld by storm. Onild they have kept this high pressure un throughout the inning they might have added one or more to their score; thoueh even that is doubtful, for their quick work made the Rangers even more watchful. The teams and positions of the men were as follows Thistles.

The ground ia almost beneath the shadow of the Miawinter Fair buildings, and many visitors of Concert Vr.lley lingered to watHi the buttle for possession of the big brown sphere. At one period of the game there wero from 500 to 000 spectators.

A hard fought contest was the reward of the onlookers. Both teams are about equally matched hi.ml of the same weight. The advantage gained by either side was in-rely temporary, and the match ended with an equal number of points to the credit of each team. Daniel was referee nnd timekeeper, J. F.

goal umpire for the Geraldines. AI, J. Lawless performed a similar service for the Emmets. Neither side scored during the earlier part of the game, but toward the end of the first half the who hail hitherto been unable to get the ball Jar from the center of the field, edged ituown toward the goal of the Emmets. Twice the credit of his team was saved by McCarthy, who stopped the ball as it was thing between the goalposts.

He was uuabie to guard all three of the portals under his charge, however, and the Gernldines scored their first point by getting the ball between tho point posts. A few minutes later this ooeration was repeated, and the lirst half ended with the following points: Genldines 2, Emmets o. In the secoud half Daly, the Emmets' captain, rallied his forces in good style, and scored a point before half Hih players realized that the game had recommenced. Then Kelly, the opposing captain, organized an attacking party, which, after ten minutes of lightiug, gradually gained ground until the ball was again in the vicinity of the Emmets' coal. Then the Geraldines secured their third point.

Power, who played full forward, did some clever work, while Perry and Lynch, on the wings, earned many plaudits. A second point was won by the Emmets after another struggle, Mcliierney gamely defending the Geialdines' goal. Creed for the Emmets and Fitzgerald for the Geraldines were constantly in the thick of the fray, whore they did good service for their respective teams. The Emmets were particularly strong on the wings, in which station repeatedly distineuished himself. Just before time was called Captain Daly's team caught another point, so the contesting teams concluded thoirday's work on an equal basis.

Score 3 all. The personnel of the teams was as follows: John K. Kelly (captain), Thomas (vice-captain), Arthur Perry, Jerry Breslin, Hugh Mclnerney, Pierce Power, Matthew Cochrane, James Norris, llarrv Welsh, J. Fitzgibbon, Willintn Keefe, Theodore Lynch, 1. Cronin.
