Beautiful Ball at Oakland
Park~-Gun, Sail and
Athletics.

Jersey City was defeated yesterday at
Oakland Park. 1t was one OF the contests
in which luck entered. as both teams put
up beautiful ball. The visitors had the
luck and won in the eighth inning.
The pitchers had splendid command OF
the sphere, and only one man went to the
base on balls. The patient McGucken
had this distinction, but he failed to
reach home, inc the gift of first base had
no value. Two went to the base on err
rors. but neither scored, and the errors
were only damaging TO the average OF
Fitzgerald and Lally, who broke the |
of cipherS in the error column Tor their
respective teams.
In singular feature of the game was
the fact that fifty per cent. OF the base

reach of The feeders. Lang banged out
" safe ones, and one of them was a
long one, on which he reached second.
It was the good fortune OF New Haven
in punching hits that lost the game to
Jersey. Lang, Homer, Lynch and
Schveneck-it was the first hit of the big

steal at the proper time. Freezing az
bases is a bad plan. 1t

equally dangerous to run at the wrong
time, which was done several times yes
terday. The shire WIDEST coachers should
be IN the line to direct the runners. An
unfortunate accident occurred In the
fifth inning. Brady, of the home team,
while guarding the second bag, vas
