Oakland won from the Stockton team
yesterday afternoon, Tut the Colonies were
compelled to work hard for their victory,
finding the country visitors stronger than
sver. Perrolt for four innings pitched
great ball, and his curves so mystifed OPP
posing batters that little infed grounders
and pop flies followed the attempts of the
Colonies to bat safely. The pitcher had
splendid control of the ball and was over
speedy, but he began to weaken from the
fourth inning. The strain Of pitching two
successive days proved too much for his
arm, which lost its cunning, ami the balls
he sent over the plate were hit in the fifth
and seventh innings with disastrous results
to Stockton. Perr0tt is a good bOXinan, one
Of the best on the Coast, but he is evidently
not capable Of pitching winning ball day
after day.
His team outside Of Fudger gave him the
best OF support. Armstrong was again back
OF the plate, and showed himself TO be the
superior Of both VOgt and Duane as a
catcher. He throws we'll and is a sure catch
on fouls. Selma as usual had wide throwing
to handle, and saved a couple of infield
errors by letting himself out and gathering
in the ball. FOgaTty played hrSt-claSS
game at second, accepting nine out OF ten
chances. His error was made on little
throw to first, the ball striking runner
and bounding to the grand stand.
Jack Wilson's work at third, while per-
feet. was notable for brilliant play made
in the first inning. DoOleY was at bat and
batted down toward third grounder that
was intent on pursuing its course to lett
iield. The ball had plenty of speed and
Wilson was out of its line, but he got there.
a sudden side spring, an outstretched hand
and the sphere was resting snugly IN VII
sons left glove. A moment later DoOley
was retired before he was halfway to first.
Carsey was at his best in the box. The
Stocktons we're unable to get more than
four clean hits off his delivery, Selna's sin
sic being "scTatch," and the "safeties"
came singly about every other inning. The
Young pitcher had his curves well In hand
and did not send a single batter to first
base on balls. His drop ball " made fools
of a few of the Slough City men who bit at
it vOTaciOusly and whose ludicrous attempts
to knock thu cover off the sphere was
fund of amusement for the crowd.
All the COlOnelS, with the exception OF
their captain, played ball that would have
won most games Lehman was as steady
as clockwoTk behind the bat and DOoley
and Mcdonald guarded their positions
carefully. Charley O'Neill in left did some
pretty tiy-catching, one of his put-outs be-
ing made after backward run. Dungan's
work was characterized by his usual heavy
batting.
being interesting to a degree of excitement
up to the seventh inning, when the Oak
lands, while not going too far III advance to
make the contest over uneven, made enough
runs to insure them a victory. Runs were
scarce indeed up to the seventh. aud on the
Stockton side Cahill's tally was the only
one that 0Inamented the score board. Patsy
scored in the first inning, when he raped
the first pail pitched to center field for
three cushions, and Selna's sacrifice sent
him home.

Carsty's double to right. c. O'NenPs

he scored on Dooley's single.
In the seventh inning c. ONeill hit
safely to left field. Dooley hit to Fudger.
