THE ALL-CALIFORNIAS
Win an Exciting Game From
the Oaklands.

Yesterday, at the Haight-street grounds,
fully 5000 people royalty welcomed the re-
turned Eastern ball-players whom Captain
Fogarty has banded together under the ap-
propriate title of the "All-Californias."
Their inaugural game of the winter series
was with the Oaklands, and it must be con-
ceded that Robinson's men made an excel
lent showing against this 'all-star" aggre-
cation.
The game, while not particularly brilliant.
was a most satisfactory one, as was attested
by the vigorous applause that followed every
clever play.
Seldom have we seen heavier or better
timed stick-wOrk participated in by two
contesting teams. Every smash was clean,
sharp drive and afforded the outfelders
plenty opportunities to do fast service.
Van Hatren, Carroll, Smalley, Pete
Sweeney and Long banged the ball round
at lively pace, but they did not gather all
the glory to themselves. weather" Nc
Donald was right in the front rank himself
in the Willow welding, and was closely fol-
lowed by his cOnfreres, Dooley and Luh-
man.
Both teams slipped up on many easy
chances in fielding; nevertheless the work
in this department was generally spirited,
brisk and finished. Distinguishing features
were a sensational forward running catch
by Fogarty in the sixth inning the fielder
falling and rolling over, but still retaining
the ball, another phenomenal capture OF a
line drive down TO. the carriage fence off
Carroll's bat by Charley ONeill. and some
rapid and effective throwing by DUNCAN and
Sweeney.
The southpaw Knell faced his old team in
the box and gave evidence of great iul-
proyement. Not only is he much more
steady than in former seasons, but his late
Eastern experience has given him great
self-reliance, most necessary adjunct to
successful box work. Big Bill Brown
caught him in an easy, graceful style that
provoked many complimentary comments.
Fred Carroll guarded the initial in most
finished manner, and Pete Sweeney and Van
Haltren showed up strongly around second
base and short field. Hardle, Long and
Smaley had but little to do.
For tue OaklaDds, CarSey did fine service
in the box after the first inning, and Lob
man caught him magnificently. Tip O'Neil
was again on hand, distinguishing himself
by making a throw that allowed a batsman
to make the circuit in the first inning, and
deliberately Sinking a bounding ball sent
at him by Hardie. The remainder Of the
team put up fair game till the eighth in
ming, when they went completely to pieces.
At the end OF theSseventh inning the score
was 6 10 in favor of the Colonies. The
CALIFORNIA;, however, did not let it remain
long So, for by couple of hits aud numer-
GUS errors OF the boys in "Nadgy" attire
they added five runs In their half of the
eighth. The Colonels developed a heavy
batting streak when they came up in the
ninth. Carsey opened, pushing hard shot
to center. Cantlllion gave Long his first
and only put out. Four bad balls put
Sweeney ON first. Dungan's splendid drive
to the right-feld fence for two bags scored
Carsey, the Midget crossing on Browns
failure to get Harde's throw, and by which
Dummy anchored at third. Smalley fumbled
DoOley's hot drive, which allowed DUNCAN
to tally. Lohman then put single in right
sending Dooiey to third, and McDonald's
third pretty shot of the game gave D0oiey
the run Which tied the score.
Hardie banged out a high long double to
right as starter in the CALIFORNIA; half,
and Smalley neatly sacrificed him to third
On Pete Sweeney's vicious hit, which got
away from Dooley, Hardie made the win
ming run. TIE score:
