played by the Dukes.
San Francisco and San Jose Cooperative
Base Hit Works Fittingly Celebrate
Labor Day-The Exercises.

Labor obseryances at the Haight-street
ball park yesterday afternoon were not of a
character that will tend to make the exer-
else popular with Hank Harris. While not
an active participant in the demonstration,
Hank directed one of the delegations taking
part in the programme.
II had been announced on the bills that
the San Francisco and San Jose Cooper
alive Base-hit Works would unite on Labor
day for the entertainment of any who
| wished to view the exercises. The attend
ance was small, but those who were present
witnessed a performance that was we'll
worth the price charged for admission.
A grand total of twenty base-hits were
turned out on the cooperative plan. Better
results were obtained from the Dukes share
of the output, as they netted his men six runs.
Harris ten hits resulted in two tallies. which
went through preparatory course OF
errors by Bill Everett, or they never would
have been scored
Aside from the usual baseball features
| there were no other exercises worthy ot
mention. AS the recognized head OF the
| Frisco end Of the celebration Hank Harris
| was called upon for a few remarks appro-
| pirate to the occasion. He pleaded bad
| cold, but finally yielding to the clamorlngs
| OF an auMlTlnS constituency ne dlOSo anu
said:
HARRIS MAKES A SPEECH.
Fellows, we amt in it. See?"
While uttering these remarks Henry Har-
| ris stood with one hand buried In the bosom
of his coat and the other concealed behind
| his back When he had finished the public
unanimously declared that Mr.. Harris had
| never uttered 4 truer sentiment in his lie.
Those who understand baseball Will
readily agree with Mr.. harris. When
team makes ten clean hits in smooth sue
cessiOn for only two runs, and these nur-
| fully asserted that the said team is not In 1t.
Bill Everett achieved three out of four Of
the Dukes errors, but aside from this their
play bordered on the brilliant
George Coob pitched magnificent game
at times. He struck out seven men and
was found for ten hits. These, like the
Frisco output, came with cheerful regular
ity and were more opportune, If such an eX-
| preston is allowed in baseball. Then the
| locals erred inOpportunely. Pop SHett had
a pair of bad ones. So did Peoples, and
they all cost runs.
In the first inning j. Peck Sharp made
the rounds on single, sacrifice and the
first Of Bill Everetts errors. This was the
| last until the seventh inning, when Bill
Everetts second error gave Cobb start.
He was forced at second by Sharp. Little
Sweeney hunted the ball, left his bat IN the
| air and made first in safety. Cartwright
cleared a tw0-bagger. scoring Sharp Smith
flew out to McVey aud Sweeney was caught
at the plate on McVey's wonderful throw-in
from center field. This was the last run.
THOSE MEAGER RETURNS.
Three times during the game were the To-
Gals doubled up on lightning plays, which in
a measure accounts tor the meager returns
from their base-hlt output. 1t may have
been luck that defeated them or they may
have been outplayed on all sides.
San Jose failed to score till the third,
when Blockers Haney got base on
second. In the next Dooley got his base
with two men out and scored on StalingS'
triple. In the next Kid Peoples jumOled
Hanley's grounder and Blockers came
home on Ebrights double to left. The
Duke lad the game right here. but his men
put a clincher on the result in the eighth
by adding three more to the string, which
they got IN painful complication of base
ball disorders.
While the Frisco fellows were dressing
before the game, stranger entered the
clubhouse unknown and unheralded and
asked for a uniform. He said his name
was Professor Blavalt of Rochester, Har-
rls' new pitcher, and would hereafter col
laborate with Professor Cobb.
When taken to task for not exercising
the full functions of his position as a base
ball magnate and let the people know he
had new man coming Hank Harris
biuShed guilty. and said he hoped the peO-
pie would forgive him. He has promised TO
make ample amends for this oversight
next Wednesday. On that day lie will get
ont two Thousand hand-blls for distribu-
ton in the grand stand stating the exact
number Of kilograms sent to Blayalt and
the cost of each message. Colonel Robin
son please take notice.
