After playing an uphill game for seven innings
with shu-out staring them in the face the
S;ocktons made gallant batting spurt and as
sisted by a big error OF the captain OF the Op-
posing team wrested the lead from Finn's men.
But their hopes Of victory were dampened in
the ninth when Frisco tied the score, and in the
tenth secured two runs.
1t was pretty contest and entirely different
from the one in which Stockton figured the pre-
vi0us day. The fielding OF both teams was ex-
cellent and there was just enough batting 10
make matters lively. Both Young and PerrOtt
were at their best, the former using much speed
and placing his curves over the plate so de-
ceptvely that up to The eighth inning only three
scattered hits were made by the Gas City play
ers. In the last three innings, though, the cOun-
try gentlemen began to make matters warm for
Mr.. Young aud sized him up for seven safe shots.
Superb ball was put up by the FriscOs incud-
ing Ebrght, who has two errors against his
name in the score. Outside OF the shortstop's
blunders the home team played an errorless
game and some hard chances were well handled.
Speer was back 10 his old form again and seemed
liveier than ever. He wound up the game by
making difficult catch of foul that went pack
10 the grand stand. The Oakland crowd ieered,
hoping TO rattle Chick while he was getting under
the ball, but the little fellow chung TO the put
out.
Shea and Buchan performed fine work in their
positions, the third baseman surprising himself
in taking care OF swift grOunderS aud lie did
well with the stick also. Sweeney was like
stone wall at the initial, and at the plate laced
out the Stockton twirler's curves for double
and single. Leyy's play was marked by tine
eaten of a foul fly, after he had run about thirty
yards. Stevens and Haney had their eyes open
both in the field and when facing Perr0lt
Wilson went home sick Yesterday morning and
Selma detained TO guard third base. The
big fellow was iirstclass substitute for Wilson,
and made quite a record in tie new position.
He accepted nine chances out OF ten and made a
number of good stops. His throwing across the
diamond was swift and accurate.
Perrolt pitched a good game and was finely
supported by Stanley, who played without
passed ball an error. Smith, at first, had
plenty OF work at first and hauled in some wide
throwing, but lie erred on two easy plays. FO-
garIy and Fudger covered considerable territory
In their neighborhood, aud blocked several
grOunders that might nave passed as hits. The
secODd baseman accepted nine chances without
break aud scored two singles.
The pleasure OF the audience was marred by
the high cold wind that prevailed and swept the
smoke from an adjacent factory. The smoke
was so thick at times that the oulhelders were
hidden from view
One of The features OF the game was that
neither pitcher sent a batter TO first base on
called balls i he score:
