THE COLONELS
TOOK REVENGE.
San Francisco Barely Escapes
Being Shut Out.
The Senators Did Not Get a Hit OF Hape-

The Colonies had their revenge yesterday after
noon. After losing two games 10 the Friscos
during the week they turned the tables on the
nome team and almost accomplished the feat OF
shutting out Finn's men. Oakland worked hard
TO innlct the humiliation OF whltewash on their
rivals, and probably there was hot man in the
nine more anxious 10 see string OF ciphers at
| tached to San Francisco than Pete Meegan. 1t
| would have been bitter dose for The players
from this side OF the creek TO be unable 20
! run with the veteran pitching against them,
but they very nearly swallowed the DILL For eight
| innings lie home players could not get one man
| safely beyond third base, and affairs began to
| look blue at the opening Of the ninth. The
| whitewash was prevented by a little punched
hitting, something the vanqushed aggregation
had been unable to do up TO that time.
The game was noisy one, and the crowd
yelled in unison with the men on The field When
ever heavy hitting was done or errors let ID
runs. Although the affair was one sided, the
audience never lost interest In the play, and
everybody remained 10 see II Finn's players
would score.
Meegan was touched up freely, but the safe
shots never came in the right time, and the
almost perfect fielding of the Colonels did the
balance OF the work. Peter seemed 10 be at his
best when men were on bases, and the opposing
batters could do nothing more than rap al easy
grounders or send up intied tiies
The feature of the play was the backstop
been anxious to 60 behind the bat ever since the
season Orened, but Robinson did not have much
confidence in him. Lohman is a good catcher,
but DUNCAN has proved himself TO be the supe-
riOr OF the man who played at short yesterday.
HIS throwing To bases was, without eXaggera-
tl0n, us line as any ever seen on tile Haight-
street Grounds. After lie had thrown out several
base-runners at second, the FlSeos concluded 1t
would be safer 10 wait for "a hit than TO attempt
steal. Dungan's error was missed third
strike on deceptive inshoot.
Oakland
by Hill, VINO failed to block a hit. The work OF
the lnield was perfect.
Lookabaugh's pitching was all right but his
support, particularly IN The secOud aud eighth
Innings. was miserable. The twiTler himself
made Two errors, but one occurred in u collision
with his catcher. Stevens caught well, but
threw very poorly TO the cushions. Ebright put
up some great ball at short, and sweeney played
a faulIeSs first base.
1t WAS Hanley's hitting day, and every time lie
stepped to bat he smashed out single Levy
made pretty assist firm left field, throwing out
at. the plate a runner who attempted 10 score
from second OIL single.
