The Stockton and San Francisco teams played
at the Oakland grounds yesterday afternoon be-
fore an audience of about 500 people. The game
was close one up TO the eighth inning, with the
score against the country gentlemen. The lead
OF the home team however, was a slight one, and
the StocEtons had hopes OF making another
brilliant and victorious finish, but the string was
pulled the other way. Frisco had not been able
10 secure more than one run after the FIST inn
ing, but the bali was set rolling again In the
ninth inning and the hopes OF Stockton were eX-
tingui shed. The score when the Gas City nine
went TO bat in their last turn was 10 10 against
them, and the side was retired without man
reaching first base.
The grounds were In better condition than
when previous games were played, and few OF
the errors made were caused by roughness OF the
field. Parrott, the new twirler signed by Stock
ton, made his appearance and did some effective
pitching considering IL was his first game. He
has a wide, foating-like outcurve, and good
inshoot and fair drop-bal His work was lack
ing IN steadiness yesterday, but this drawback
was probably due 10 lack OF practice. He sent
three men to bases on balls and struck five bat
tiers. The Frisco men did not have much trouble
In hitting him, but succeeded in placing only
eight of their shots In safe territory. Young was
the only man who could not connect with the
sphere, and he struck cut three times. A slow,
wide outcurye did the work.
De Pangher caught a frst-class game and
lHloh epicuululY 10 seCUIlu. Selld put up great
bail at first and had considerable wild throwing
to handle that lie secured without making
mshap. Fogarty and Fudger were kept pretty
busy In their positions, and gave good accounts
OF themselves. Wilson played very poorly at
third, fumbling grounders twice and making
high throw TO second, which prevented the &C
compllShment of triple play.
Tue hits made of Young were scattered, save

control over the sphere that not one StockIonlan
