Through a misunderstand,ing of dates, the retail team failed to tnake an appearance, with the exception of one mem,ber, by name Calvin, of the C. Ganahl Lumber Company. The wholesalers turned out in full force. and rather than be dissappointed in having their ga,m,e, organized an emergency team from the onlookers at the park.
The game was one oI the prettiest amateur battles ever witnessed anywhere. The wholesale team was composed of : Hanawalt, Bowles, Bookstaver, Slade, Wilson, Cook, Ross, Masters and Atkinson. These fellows have practised hard and have gotten themselves into such shape that they should form a regular Hoo Hoo team and go out after some of the other'amateur teams in and around Los Angeles. These boys took the strangers on and started out in the lead in the fifst frame with four runs, led o!ff,by a sensitional hom,e run clout by Hanawalt. The other team evened ug the score in thb third, and it was then a close run until the end of the ninth when the score stood 1l to 7 with the wholesale team in the lead. With two men d'qw.n, and one on base, a series of hard hits brought in ths required number of tallys to down the lumber team, with a final score oL 12 to 11, the "Temple Street Speclals" ahead. The attending crowd was not as large as it m'[ht have been' there being less than a hundred of the boys on the grounds.
