A LUCKY INNING.
The Metropolitans Make a Fast
Finish and Defeat the Colonies.

Although the Colonels took big lead in
the early part of this contest, and looked
like sure winners, the aggregation developed
a mighty batting streak in the seventh in
ming, thereby winning game they had
almost thrown away.
The hitting was heavy all through, which,
in measure, offset some OF the very yellow
fielding which was participated in by both
teams Though errors were numerous, the
contest was not devoid of some brilliant
plays, and a most sensational catch by Mid
get Sweeney In the seventh inning, which
he made in deep center while running with
the ball, was in itself well worth the price of
admission. Charley ONeill, Ebright and
Hanley also took in some very difficult flies,
for which they were we'll applauded.
Both pitchers we're very steady through
out the game. but single base ON balls
being given. In the eighth, after being hit
hard, Cobb retired and Shaw succeeded him.
His duties were light, however, as but three
of The Friscos faced him.
The runs were made as follows: In the
first inning Sweeney was safe on Everett'S
tumble of his drive and crossed the plate ON
Dungan'S long double to center. Dooley's
sacrifice sent Dummy TO third and he scored
on Lohman's safe-throw hit to the pitcher.
Charley ONeilps single to right sent Lob
man to third and a passed ball gave him the
Oaklands' third run.
The Nets made two in their half of the
second. Stevens hit safely TO right and
went to second on Everett's slow high
bounder to the pitcher, which he beat out.
Isaacson's hit to Tip O'Neil forced Stevens
at third, but on CantilliOn'S error of Levy'S
vicious drive, which went directly at him,
both Everett and Isaaeson Tailed.
The third gave Oakland another. Sweeney
pushed out safe shot to center, and Dun
gan's hard drive 10 left, which Levy erred
on, scored the midget.
In the fifth they made two more. Cantil-
lion was safe on Everetts poor throw, and
on Sweeney's infieid hit went to second.
A wild pitch advanced each base. and
ohea's raw error of DUNCAN easy grounder,
to which lie only put one hand, permitted
both men 10 score.
The Nets added three to their string in
the sixth. Stevens reached first on Nc
Donald'S high throw to DOoley, and Ever
EFT was sent to first on balls. Isaacson hit
hard one to McD 0nad, who threw wildly
to Cantillion TO catch Everett at second. and
Stevens scored. Sweeney then made his
skyrocket catch Of Levy's long fly on which
Everett came home, and on the little center
fielder's muf. of Wards fly 1saacson crossed
the rubber
They won the game in the seventh. Shea
hit slow one to Tip O'Neil, who as usual
fumbled all over it. Hanley hit to Cobb,
who threw the bail to Cantillion, but the
second baseman fell off the bag and both
were safe. Ebright got in a scratch hit to
first and Stevens foolish bunt forced Shea at
home. Everett followed with a slashing
single, Hanley and Ebright scoring. On
Isaacsun'S iniield hit Stevens scored, and
singles by Levy and Coughlin sent Everett
and IsaarsOn over the plate.
The Colonies made quite rally, adding
two in the eighth, but tins was not sufficient
to overcome the Friscos' big lead. Lohman
pushed out clean hit to center, but was
forced at second on G. O'NeilPs hit to
Everett, who made superb stop of the ball.
McDonald's corking double over Levy's head
sent 0Neill home, and Cobb's single 10
right enabled Mcdonald to tally.
In the triscos' half they made their last
run. Hanley banged out a double, and
Ebright's scratch hit gave him third.
Cobb then retired and on Everetts sacrifice
to first, off Shaw, Hanley ended the run
getting of the game. Tie score:
