HIT OR SACRIFICE.
That Was All the Stocktons
Needed to Win Game.

The Stockton team, for six innings, played
a magnificent game yesterday. The day was
damp and depressing, nevertheless good
crowd was in attendance, and the numer-
GUS brilliant plays were voeiferously ap-
plauded. KilrOy was in the box for the Gas
towns and acquitted himself admirably.
But four errors were made by his team, two
OF these, however, stupidity made by Catcher
VoSt, costing them the game. They had
ample opportunity to retrieve themselves in
the niuth inning, but ne Their Fadger nor
Wilson was equal to the emergency, and SO
the Colonies took a very exciting and, at
most times, well-iOught contest.
Carsey pitched for the Oaklands. and
pitched good ball. Only four hits, we'll
scattered. were made off him, and his eight
Strike-outs occurred at the most critical
stages of the game.
DUNCAN was at the receiving end, and the
big fellows work was very amateurish.
Several times he had opportunities 10
catch base-runners mapping, but in every
case excepting one he was too slow. Shaw
played in right field and did creditable work.
The Oaklands, first at bat. failed to score
in the opening inning, but not so with the
Stocktons. Holiday hit sharply to McDon-
anu, Nho - piCbty PiShup, oub thiCN
wide, and Holiday was safe. He promptly
stole second, and scored on Pache's hit TO
right. They did not tally again until the
sixth, when F0garty hunted down the third
base line and went to second on ONellPS
wretched throw to the grand stand. Stock
wells clipping safe shot to center brought
home Fogariy with the second and last run
OF his side. The Colonies had hard row to
hoe till the seventh, as the StocktOns were
playing pennant.winning ball up to that
TIME. In this inning, with two men out by
q neat double play-FOgarty to Holiday
Donald took his base on balls. Norris UNeil
then sent beauty to right, but Pache
made splendid fast field of the ball TO the
plate in time to catch Charley O'Neill. who
was sprinting homeward. Vogt failed 10
stop the bail and O'Neill scored easily. Nc
Donald mad reached third and N. O'Neil
was up the line near that bag, when Kiroy
threw TO FogaIty. On the throw down Nc
Douald made dash for home and reached
there, as no one was covering the plate.
This tied the score, and from that on the ex-
element was at fever heat
In the ninth, Stockwell made double to
left and Yogi was safe on ''Tip" ONeips
tumble. on which Stockwell took third. A
tap meant run and the game, but Fudger
struck out and Wilson did likewise. Huff-
man was assisted out at first, Dooley to
Carsey, and so Stockton's excellent chances
for winning were spoiled.
Oakland won in the tenth. Carsey took
his base on balls, went to second on D0Oley' S
slasbing single to left, reached third on
Pache's mutt of Sweeney's fly and tailed
on Dungan's sacrifice fly out to Stockwell.
DoOley followed up Carsey on the plays
made aud made the fourth run on Shaw's
hit to left.
In the Stocktons' half Kilroy and Fogarsy
struck out ami Holiday flew to Shaw The
most particular features of the game were
the number of beautiful fly catches made in
the outfeld c. O'Neill, Hoffman, Fogarty,
n. ONeil and Wilson excel,ing.
Charley sweeney made his first appear
ance on the local grounds as an umpire, and
gave excellent satisfaction. The score:
