Haight-street grounds yesterday before

pulled out of a tight hole in the eighth inning,
winning handily.
Cobb pitched a mastery game for them.
having fine speed and almost perfect CON-
mand. Lnhman's support was not up to bis
usual standard.
While the Friseos have fewer errors ac-
credited them, their work was not by any
means equal to the Colonies, the blunders
made Ivy Stevens and Everett proving very
costly. Ebright was also guilty of foolish
bit of base running in the last inning, at
tempting TO score with Shaw on an infield
hit and ending the game by being thrown
out at the plate by Mcdonald.
The erratic Sammy Shaw twirled for the
Nets, and though not hit hard he was found
when hits were most needed. He was
steadier than usual, but still gave little
Speer plenty to do to save wild pitches. :,
Sheridan umpired. ard, although he bad
many close decisions to make, his Judgment
was never faulty.
The fielding features were two magnificent
catches made by Carsey and Hanley and a
sensational one-hand stop of Shea's back Of
the diamond in the third inning.
The runs were made as follows: Shea,

away from him, Dooley taking second. Lob

pretty one in short left Dooley scoring,
but O'Neill was nailed at the plate 10y a
splendid throw of Levy's. Carsey 1ouled
out.
No runs were made afterward till the sew
enth, when the Oaklands overlook and
headed the Friscos. Lehman and c. O'Neill
had both been retired on flies, when McDon-
aid put another pretty safe shot in right cen
ter. CarSey was awarded his base on balls,
and Cobb smashed out timely single,
scoring Mcdonald, Carsey coming home on
Stevens overthrow TO the plate.
In the eighth the Colonies made the run
which proved to be tie winning one.
