THE oAKLANDs WON
The Game at the Haight-street Grounds
Yesterdav.

The Game at the haight-Street UrOuDus
Yesterday.
The largest crowd OF the season assembled
at the Haight-street grounds in the after
noon. Every seat in the grand stand,
b.elrhers and boxes had its occupan-, and
some 500 had to be contented with standing
room. 1t was estimated that fully 1900
Persons were inside the Enclosure.
TIE jovial Frisco Tooter and the rabid
Oakland crank were there in all their glory,
the iJrmer being armed with his noisy fish
horn and the Oaklander with the more sub
dued aud musical mouth-caiiOp-. Each
faction wore the badge Of their respective
team, on which was inscribed betting
notices.
The teams were late in arriving, but the
crowd was good natured and put In the time
PECULIARLY specializing on the result.
At few minutes past 2 the Metropolitans
struggled in on the field and engaged in
some pretty practice. Shortly after, headed
by a brass band with Colonel Robinson, at
tifei in fall cape overcoat a new derby
and a MT over-eXuberant countenance act
ing as drum-majGr, the dashing Coonels
marched in double file across the diamond.
The Colonel dismissed the band in true mil
itnry style, and the Oakland boys INDUCED
IN short preliminary practice.
Carsey ana Lookabaugh were the pitchers,
and both looked IN prime condition to pitch
the game of their lives. And the little fell
low from Harlem was eminently successful.

and confidence all through the game, ac-
complishing the wonderful feat of shutting
out Firms sluggers without even a hit or a
run But his work in the box was ably
backed by his catcher, Lehman, and the
felders. A single errur of a most difficult
chance alone mars their admirable fielding
record.
In this department Of the game the Fris-
eos were most deficient. Everett at short
exeelled all previous efforts, and made
some Of the most phenomenal stops and
throws ever witnessed on any diamond.
The other men all contributed many brill
liant plays, Levy and Veach being the only
players to slip up on chances, and the two
misplays recorded against Veach and one of
Levy's could appropriately be termed
scratch" errors, Lookabnugh pitched a
strong game, but the unfortunate misplays
OF the Friscos were mingled with Oakland's
hits, and the Nets total inability to place
Carsey safe accounts for the loss of one of
the most brilliant and interesting games
ever produced on California diamond.
Amid the din OF the horns and the shrill
whistle of the caliopes the game COM

but were retired in short order.

"S0UNDING TAPS"
A Ceremony That Il Only Proper for
the Soldier.

A Ceremony That IL Only Proper Tor
the Soldier.
A Cincinnati Times-Star reporter was
talking to General b. B. Cowen about what
a touching ceremony was the sounding of
taps at the grave of soldier as the last fare
well.
How sad and tender and beautiful it was
And what picture for memory it made
the grouping about the grave, the listening
to the refrain that flows so plaintively from
the bug!e and steals echoing away-a sad,
plaintive, appealing wall that has authority,
IrIevocabeness and tenderness in it. And
one could well imagine. while sorrowfully
listening TO 1t, that the spirit of the dead
soldier must be a-listening to 1t too as the
martial spirit in life had been lulled by its

his eyeiids would close ere the last sound
stole echoing over the camp.
do you know" said he, that the sound
ing of taps is only proper for the soldier
not for the civilian? 1t is an army regula-
ton, prescribed in the army funeral serv-
ices. OF course it would be proper for Cen
eral Sherman. He has been retired from the
army. But, strictly speaking, it is not proper
to sound taps for man who has perhaps
served four years in the army, and who has
made his living and name and fame in civil
life. No wonder General NOyeS insisted on a
quiet and transformations funeral. IL was
his especial wish that there be nothing of
the pomp and show of military burial. He
was civilian, had earned his living and his
honors in civilians life, although he had
served with distinction in the years Of the
war. But he was not soldier. He was
civilian. Of course, the tribute of his COM
rades was to bs expected, and it was fitting.
But General Moves, and | have often heard
him speak of it, wanted to be put away
quietly as citizen and as became such. 1t
was proper aud a regulation, of course, to
sound taps for General Sheridan. But
General Logan died in civilians life. He
had been the soldier of the emergency; that
he was the civilian again, and so he died,
full of honor, it is true and beloved by all
his old comrades. But l think 1t high
time to cease that sort of thing Here
we are twenty-five years after the war,
and following the customs Of the military in
burying civilian. Certainly it is all very
beautiful, but the sooner these customs
cease the better. They are useless, mean
nothing, and are not BETTING the civilian.
The less pomp and ostentation about
funerals the better for US all, any way. 1t
would be good deal better if we were TO
drop the titles of General and Colonel and
Major and Captain and so on for men who
were soldiers four years, and have been
civilians all the rest of their lives. There
should be no more out taps for civilians and
less reminders Of war"

slipped three easy chances, but otherwise
played strong game. Stockwell made
pour throw TO second, let two runs on a
dropped easy foul fly, and the Senators ran
the bases with ease. Stapleton led at the
bat with three hot singles. Donahue'S de-
cisons were not as well received as yester-
day, several decisions against the home team
being roundly Missed. In his judgment the
balls and strikes were good and no fault
could be found with them. The game was
