Oakland and San Francisco clubS-hao an
interesting meeting yesterday afternoon at
the local grounds, and when the last Colonel
had farewell interview with Mr.. Looka-
baugh the score stood 8 to in favor of the
home team. There was good attendance
for Thursday, but little enthusiasm was
displayed by the partisans of either side,
except when the two Frisco triples drove
In number of runs
The game, although close and well played.
lacked excitement. 1t was of see-ssw
character. Frisco first assuming the lead,
losing it i'll the fourth inning and regaining
the upper hand in the eighth.
The home nine played an unusually strong
game both in the field and at bat. They
seemed to have regained the knack Of hit
ting the ball safely when men were on
bases. and there was disposition on the
part of few of the men to make sacrifice
hits instead of flying to the out and in
fielders.
Lookabaugh was in the box for the FrIscos
and pitched a strong game. The few hits
made off him were scattered, but when the
Colonies did meet the bail squarely they
sent it sailing past the outfelders Four of
the five hits made by the Colonies were
double shots. LoOkabaugh put up pretty
fielding game, making three neat stops of
hard-hit grounders He has four singles
credited to him, but three were of the
Stevens caught good game outside of a
missed third strike and high throw to
third base, the latter error letting III a run.
Sweeney's play at the initial was o. K,
and at bat he caused cold chills to creep
over the Oakland twirler. His triple and
double sent in three runs. 1t was also a
slugging day for Shea. Two singles and a
three-bagger were contributed to the base
hit column by Joe, and he played his posi-
ton fauitlessly.
Meegan was not batted as hard as the
score would Imply, as several OF the singles
did not 90 outside the intield. Peter, how
ever, could not deceive the opposing bats
men when FriScOS were doing duty as base
runners. Meegan did little in the batting
line himself and raped out pair OF two
baggers.
DUNCAN was placed behind the bat for
the first time, and his backstop work proved
that in him Robinson has good change
catcher. He is very quick on his feet and
throws swiftly and surely to bases. Two
runners who attempted 10 steal second base
on him were sent back to the bench.
The intelders in the Oaklands had an off
day, each man doing his share to give the
last column ragged appearance. McDon-
AIDS errors were failures 10 block hits,
While lsaacson also fumbled a slow hit
Norris O'Nell had sore hand and Lohman
was put in at short. He mutfed a fly and
threw wild TO first.
In the first inning Shea for Frisco was
given first base on balls, went to second on
Sweeney's sacrifice and took third on Stick
ney'S error on Hanley's grounder. Hanley
started to steal second, and, while being run
down between first and second base, Shea
scored.
In the first for Oakland c. O'Neill took
first on balls, was forced to second by
Stickney being hit by a pitched ball and
went to third on Dungan's hit to Ebright,
who forced out Stickney at second. Nc
Donald hit slow ball to L0okabaugh, who
threw high to first and 0'Neiil scored.
LOokabaugh, in the second, batted an in
field single, took second on Shea's safe hit
Sweeney's triple to center
In the third for Oakland Stickney was
sale on missed third strike. DUNCAN hit to
Shea who threw out Stickney at second
Ebright, who handled Shea's throw, tried
to make a double play but threw wild to
nrst and DUNCAN went to second. He scored
later on Cobb's double.
Oakland in the fourth made three runs.
Meegan hit for a double and Stckney was
again struck by pitched ball. Both men
scored on Dungan's two-bagger. DUNCAN
stole third and went home on Stevens high
throw 10 Buchan.

baugh hit safely, took second on a force
hit and scored on Lohman's wild throw to
