mondS-A Notable Increase In the
Attendance.

The Colones played their first Friday game on
home ground yesterday afternoon and had the
usual good luck that attends them when on
their own territory. They defeated the nine
from San Joaquin Valley In a contest that was
either sides game up TO the eighth inning. The
play opened briskly, each side scoring in lively
manner, and then matters queted for time,
both teams displaying very pretty fielding 1t
was nip aud tuck at the close OF the fourth, and
oakland went one ahead In the fifth.
The Stocktons were not able to overcome the
lead however, owing to their weak hitting. They
made squirt In the tixth shat bid fair to place
them ahead OF their opponents, but IL was short
lived. They opened up the sixth with two singles,
but could not score the next three batters
failed to connect safely with the ball. In the
eighth Robinson's men put clinch on their
majority by getting three men around tie
circuit.
Claude Stewart, the lengthy young Stocktonian
who has been beralded as coming "phenom."
did the pitching for the visitors While his work
was frst-class in some respects. it was obvious
that Stewart will be obliged 10 undergo a severe
and steady course of training under competent
teacher before he can hold up his end in league
society. The new man has fine curves, but he
was ar loss to use them to advantage and SO
nervous that he was afraid to let out the kinks
In his left arm. His movements In pitching and
fielding were extremely SLOW Every OakIander
who reached first base stole the next cushion
without difficulty. By the time Stewart had
pitched a ball the runner would be half way
down the line.

could not prevent the Colonels from stealing
bases. Selma, despite three errors, put up some
splendid ball at first one OF his catches OF high
throw being loudly applauded. Fudger and
Fogarty were in the game as usual, their perfect
neldlng Keeping the runs down. Wilson also
played pretty game at third and hit CObbs
curves with vengeance. Cahill was not back

In No. l shane, using speed and sharp curves
with disastrous results to the opposing batters
He was given splendid support by his side, with
the exception of Norris ONeii, who was guilty
