The Sacramento Game Modesto scored twice in the first two innings, holding the Panthers scoreless in the meantime. 7 he first Sacramento run came in the third inning and after that everything went wrong. Flies were dropped and throws to first were wild, as the men from the capital city brought in thirteen runs in the next three innings and prevented the Pirates from adding to their two tallies. The game was then as good as over, as neither side scored in the last three periods. Batting honors of the day went to E. Johnson. In four trips to the plate he knocked out two singles and a double. SAN MATEO - MODESTO With Modesto ' s first conference victory seemingly in the bag as San Mateo came to bat in the ninth, Pirates were once more disappointed when the Bull- dogs tied the score in that inning, and put across another run in the tenth to again defeat Modesto by one point. The final score was San Mateo 2, Modesto 1. At the conclusion of this, the last game of the season. Modesto was trailing the rest of the conference, having lost four games and won none. Chase started in the box for Modesto and pitched a good game until the seventh inning when he allowed three hits. Moore replaced him and with the bases full retired the side, allowing no runs. The Pirate team played the best game it played all season, being barely nosed out by the future conference champions. If such good ball had been played in other games Modesto would certainly have been in the running in the conference race. SACRAMENTO - MODESTO In what proved to be a repetition of the first Sacramento encounter, Modesto was defeated by a 1 4 to 4 score in the last game of the season.

The Bulldogs later annexed the championship by defeating Sacramento on the Modesto diamond. The squad was coached by Marion McCart and captained by Arendt Rohde. SAN MATEO - MODESTO Modesto tangled with San Mateo in the initial encounter of the season. The peninsular squad won the game by an 8 to 7 score. Although Johnson and Moore allowed but seven hits and Modesto tallied eleven off of the Bulldog heaver, errors on the part of the McCartlings helped in the runs for San Mateo. Trailing by three points at the start of the ninth inning, the Pirates staged a rally in their period at bat and came within one point of tying the score. With Bispo on third and no outs it looked as if the score were as good as tied, but the next two Blue and White batters fanned, the third one grounded out, and Modesto ' s chance was gone. Bispo played a good game behind the bat. Johnson started on the mound but was a bit unsteady and was relieved by Moore who went in and pitched good ball. SACRAMENTO - MODESTO In the second conference game of the season Modesto was badly beaten by Sacramento. The score was 14 to 2. [112] — - £ ' ' '
