THE LAST GAME OF THE SERIES
Tokens Of Esteem for Mr.. Hellman
Railroad News-The Court
Martial.

The last game of the series between
the Oakland and Los Angeles ball teams
and also the last of the season for tn,
home nine, was played at the Athleti,
park yesterday afternoon in the presence
of about 2,700 spectators, resulting in 9
victory for the Oaklands by score Of
to 4. 1t was a very interesting game
from start to finish, and was marked by
a number of exciting incidents; but il
was generally conceded that the local
boys owed their defeat purely to their
lack of judgment at the most critical
point OF the game, in trying to steal i'm.
possible bases.
The Oaklands were very much quieter
and more gentlemanly in their behavior
on the field yesterday afternoon than was
the case on Saturday, and even 'Tip''
0'Neill seemed to be imbued with Sab
batarian awe. Knell, as usual, however,
tried to run a bluff on the umpire, but
Conn was immutable and withstood all
assaults upon his decisions with good
humor.
Game was called promptly at O'Clock
with the home team at the bat, Knell,
the left handed twirler, being in the box
with Brown, of the "Giants," behind the
bat. Goldie scored on Lohman's sacri
fee after stealing second and third bases,
Swan being struck out and Holiday 20.
ing out on fly to Brown.
Young and Lohman formed the battery
for the Angelefios, and the former
pitched very wildly at first, a fact which
the Oaklands took advantage of to the
extent of four tallies, "Tip" O'Neill
and Mcdonald each hitting two-baggel
and bringing man in, reaching home
themselves on KnelPs sacrifice and Hill's
safe hit, respectively, placing the score
to in their favor.
Neither team scored in the second
innings, but Brown, while attempting to
dodge wildly pitched ball, was struck
on the bridge of the nose, several of the
small bones being broken. He retired
from the field and medical assistance was
obtained, when the injured member was
reset, and he was taken uptown in a
DUNCAN being placed behind the bat.
In the third the home team added an
other tally to their score. Goldie opsned
up with pretty base hit, stealing to
second and third bases while Swan was
at the bat, and the latter being awarded
his base on balls, Lohman sacrificed and
let Goldie in amid great excitement
Breckenridge and Holiday, however
went out on flies, and the innings closec
with Swan on third. The Oaklands were
~, 81, IL e.
as second base.
The Angelefios owe their defeat simply
to the chances they took in the fourth
aud fifth innings, Goldie, Swan and
Darby attempting to steal bases when
there was no possibility of their making
them. Both teams were shut out twice
in succession, the Oaklands retiring in
particularly short order.
In the sixth the local boys were white
washed again. Holiday was struck out,
but Britain made clean base hit, stole
second and reached third on Young g
sacrifice; but Darby died on first, owing
to Knell's remarkable fielding. The
Colonels were more fortunate, as another
tally was added to their score. McDon-
aid opened up with base hit, and
reached second on Knell's sacrifice. Hill
flew out to Britain, and Farrell sent a
carpet roller to Goldie, who failed to
pick it up, and the consequence was that
Mcdonald reached home. Isaacson fol-
lowed up with two base hit, but Holli-
day accepted O'Neill's fly, and the game
stood to 2 in favor of the visitors.
The ''lucky" seventh panned out to
the extent of another tally for the home
team. Goldie made a clean hit past
Knell, and Swan followed suit, but the
former died on second. Lol,man took
his base on balls, and Swan came in on
Breckenridge's safe hit to left field.
Lohman reached third, but failed. to gel
home on Holidays sacrifice. The Oak
lands failed to score this time, Cobb be-
ing struck out, and DUNCAN being put out
at fret, after receiving his base on balls
by Goldie's double play, he having
caught Tip O'Neill out on fly.
The Angeleflos crept up with another
tally in the eighth innings. Britain
made hit and stole to second and third
Young few out to Knell, Darby made q
hit and Britain came in on it, but Ward
few out to Mcdonald. Young got iu
some good work on the Oaklands, three
men being retired on five balls.
The local boys were singularly unfor
tunate in the last innings, as victory
seemed certain for them, from the fact
that all their heavy batters were to come
Goldie, however, was struck out; Swar
took his base on balls, but Lohman flew
out to Farrell, and Breckenridge flew
out to "Tip" O'Neill, and the game
closed to in favor of the Oaklands.
