and Brotherhood.

The Colonies aud the home team made
up for the wretched exhibition on Thurs
day by playing one of the best games of the
season yesterday afternoon at the Emery
vile grounds. The contest was stubborn
one, lasting twelve innings with the score
tied from the seventh. 1t wasn't pitch
ers' battle, as the base-hit columns would
indicate. Both boXmen were frequently
hit in lively style, but the fielding was SUI
perb. There was but one costly error in
the eight biunders made, and Chick Speer
owns that expensive misplay.
The play from the start until Stevens
crossed the plate in the final inning was
clean-cut, quick and brilliant. And there
was plenty of nOise-fOr Oakland. No
matte. how marvellous their play might be
Frisco didn't get even the ghost of a cheer,
but the audience yelled like lunaticS when
the ColonelS made very ordinary put-out
or hit. The attendance was probably the
largest Of the season, the stands being
packed, and there was a goOdly number
scattered along the fences.
Otto Young Is on the slck-list and LoOka-
baueh was put in the box again for Frisco.
The Colonels had found his curves an easy
MAX Thursday and expected to win easily,
but were sadly disappointed. He was hit
four times safely in the first three innings,
but the Colonies could not gauge him for
more than three good Taps in the balance Of
the long game. He gave eight men bases
on balls, but only one Of them figured in
the scoring.
The Frisco team was handicapped by the
absence of Charley Sweeney at the initial.
"Old man" Perrier was put III to I'LL the
vacancy, and, while he played his position
faultlessly, his stick work was weak,
and lie could not get over the
ground faster than walk owing
to an injury received from fail
Thursday night Riley. the amateur,
guarded short and made hall dozen splen-
did plays. Ebright covered the territory
around third base as 1t Is seldom done,
blocking everything that came anywhere
near him and throwing the Dall accurately
across the diamond with the speed of
bullet. He had ten chances and did not
contribute to the last column. Shea also
played good ball and found the opposing
twlrler for two hits.
The Outteld work, barring Speer's muff,
was excellent. Levy and Hanley made tine
running catches ana batted well, the
formers stick bringing home the winning
run. Stevens backstOp work was an in
prUvenent ON his play OF the previous day.
lie threw better to bases and handled
LUokabaugh well. He also made the run
that ended The game.
The Colonies played a brilliant game, the
infie,d work, with the exception of that of
lsaacson, being perfect Stlckney and
Norris O'Neil mad no time for loaIing, and
were in fine form The third baseman ac-
cepted his ten chances, among which were
three difficult foul flies and some grounders
that were TlcOcheting for base hits. Nc
Donald did his best aud played his position
without an error.
Carsey pitched very effective ball all
through, and up to the fourth inning the
FriscUs did not find him for a safe hit, but
they earned the three runs credited TO
them.
