The new Eastern battery signed by the
Stockton management did not arrive In the
Slough City until 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, and it was then too late to make
train connection with this city. A large
number of people, outside those who attend
ball game whenever one is played, was at
the Haieht-Street grounds in the afternoon
to see kilroy and Root in the points for the
San Joaquin club, and although dis

he weather was very cold and disagree
able, and altogether it was a miserable day
for sitting through the contest, yet few
people left before the play finished. The
audience was small in comparison with the
attendance of the previous Sunday, but the
magnates appeared to be satisfied.
CAHILL IN THE BOX.
There being no other available pitcher,
Patsy Cahlll was put in the box for Stock
ton and he opened the proceedings in a
manner that foreshadowed defeat for the
Colonies. For four innings he pitched some
pretty ball, but was rather unsteady. He
did not put the ball over the plate with
speed, but used a slow curve and it proved
effective. In the fifth inning, however,
John Patrick's work deteriorated sadly and
Stockton's hopes of victory we're dspelled
He lost command of the sphere and was hit
hard in addition. 1t was almost the same
story in the succeeding innings, and the
Oaklands piled up enough runs to discard
their final turn at the stick.
Dave Levy, the amateur catcher, wore
Stockton uniform behind the bat, and il
was MS farewell appearance on the local
diamond. The young player caught game

having an error or passed ball. In the
hrst inning Stickney, who had reached first,
concluded to steal second, but he was sur
prised TO ind the ball in the second base
mans hands before he was within tep feet
OF the bag. The throw was pretty one
ana Levy was loudly applauded.
COULD NOT HIT.
The work of the Slough City team, Wilson
excepted, was of the kind calculated to win
games, but the men were unable to connect
safely with Cob0's delivery when safe shots
were at premium. The fielding of Selma
Fogarty and Fudger was perfect, Fudger's
bio King ana throwing unusually fine.
Wilson had two errors, but there were cir
cumStances connected with the misplays
that made them eXcusable. One was a muff

Cahiil, who at the last moment allow ed the
third baSeman to reach for the bail.
hapeinan, the new pitcher, played right
heid and was weak at bat. In the field he
besides accepting his two chances did some
lively stick work. Holidays hit was a

The ColCuels put up game hard to beat
Their heldlng was almost faultless, and
many of the chances accepted were of a
very difficult character. The two errors
made did not assist the Stocktons in their
TuD-gettlng, but the mis- lays of the Oak

oAKLANDs INFIELD.
Only five flies went TO the out field. and
the balance OF the put-Out work fell mostly
10 DUNCAN, lSaacson and Mcdonald. The
s-sEnamed had some flies to deep field and
few not gropnders to handle, and he took
care OF them IN his finished style. Jim bat
ted well also, and so did Lohman. Meegan
capped out a double while two men were
on bases and Hill made three catches of
nigh files. DUNCAN again performed good
backstop duty and his throwing kept base
runners hugging their bases.
Neither side scored until the fifth inning
when Oakland pegged up three runs, when
Suckney ana DUNCAN were given bases on
balls, and Meegan drove them home by rap
ping two-bagger to right field.
In the sixth Tor Oakland Isaacson, Cobb
and c. ONeill hit singles and the bases be-
came filled. Stlckney hit to Fudger, who
threw lsaacson out at the plate. DUNCAN
was given first base on balls, forcing Cobb
home. Meegan hit to Fudger, who threw
out DUNCAN at second and G. O'Neill crossed
the plate.
STOCKTON AT LAST.
