Of Games Played in The League -
and Brotherhood.

With his team giving him the rawest va
riety of support Perrott pitched Stockton
into victory yesterday afternoon. The
young twirler, whose quiet, unobtrusiye
manner has kept him in the background
since his entry into the league. is rapidly
coming forward as one of the best pitchers
in California. Since joining the Slough
City club lie has been hit hard but twice,
and other games in WI ch the opposing side
won were lost by Stockton through poor
fielding. Yesterday Perrott gave one of the
finest exhibitions of effective pitching wit
messed on the local grounds for some time.
The Colonels tried hard enough to bat his
curves out of the reach of tielders, but failed
to get more than one clean hit. Tie two
other base hits credited to Oakland were
scratches. The Stockton boxman had per-
feet command of the ball, putting it over
every time when occasion required, and he
did not send single man to first base. Had
his team given him better support Oakland
would have been shut out.
Duane's backstop work was fair, but lie
WAS afraid to throw to bases and could have
caught several runners at first, who were
playing off the bag. He threw one man out
at second when the runner had q good
start, but more bases would have been
stolen by the Colonels if they had been able
TO reach first safely.
With the exception of Selma, the Stockton
lnheld put up very rocky ball. tndser,
Fogarty and Wilson divided ten errors be-
tween them. and the blunders of the third
baseman let in all the runs scored by Oak
land.
Carsey was not hit hard, but when the
StocktOnS did meet the ball squarely an
error would crop UP and runs resulted.
LOhman's error, wild throw to second,
was very costly. Charley Sweeney was at
short for the Colonies, Norris O'Neil being
on the sick list. The substitute played a
great game having hot chances to handle
and his throwing was very speedy and sure.
NJ. J. Mclaughlin, the umpire Of the late
International League, made his first ap-
pearance here. His decisions, rendered in
a clear loud voice, were satisfactorily re-
ceived, but there were few close plays to de-
eide. He is quick to announce his judg-
ment, is active on the field, forms correct
idea of the play and has nice dlscrmina-
tlOn in the matter Of balls and strikes. If
for no other reason he VIII please ball
patrons by his constant commands to keep
the game. going on as rapidly as possible.
The players obeyed him yesterday and there
