Stockton went down TO last place in the league
race yesterday afternoon when they lost another
game to the Oakland Club. They did not slide to
the tail end In an easy graceful descent, but fell
with a decided thump. They were not In the
game at all, being outplayed at every point and
the Colonels Travelled around the bases as II run
ming merely for exercise aud not for points.
Parrott occupied the box for the up-c0untry
people aud was given hard hammering. The
opposing batters hit him when and where they
pleased aud the men from the Slough City had
plenty to do chasing singles and doubles. Oak
land would have secured a greater number OF
earned runs but for the wild pitches aud passed
balls that cropped up between safe shots.
De Pangher's hands were sore and prevented
him from catching his usual game, but his
throwing was good. Fudger, for the first time
this season, played a poor short He was not
like himself in The first half OF the game, fum-
bling ana throwing wild, but braced up later
aud made three splendid assists, besides q fine
catch.
Holiday, Wilson and Cahill developed an un-
usual batting streak, the frst-named lacing the
ball for three singles, and while Wilson hit
equally as heavy, lie was deprived Of a base hit
by decision Of the umpire. CahilPs triple was
a powerful drive to the left field portion Of the
carriage lane and would have been stretched
Into h0ine-run hit but for c. ONeilPs agility
and the fact that the fielder was playing deep
for the batter.
The Coonels felded so sharply and perfectly
that II was extremely difficult Tor their opponents
TO score except on clean hitting. Mcdonald and
Stlckney had most OF The infield work TO do aud
performed 1t in the finished style peculiar to
them. All OF the ColOnels were In a batting
mood, HUI and Isaaeson doing the heaviest hit
ting, -
Umpire Donohue caused much dissatisfaction
by Two OF his decisions. One was due 10 a faulty
construction of the rules aud the other was an
error OF Judgment. In The second Inning. with
selma on tIst base Wilson batted TO left teid aud
Stlckney and q. ONeill ran for the bail. 1t
dropped without touching their hands, and strik
Ing Stlckney'S feet rolled TO foul ground. D0no-
hue decided the ball had been caught. In the
sixth inning Cahiil ana Holiday hit for singles
fudger batted fly 10 N. ONeill, who allowed
Inc ball 10 drop without putting his hands 10 IT,
Ihe pall was then passed around and The umpire
declared albihree men out. Under the rules the
batter and Cahll only should have been out
