DUKE FINN'S
NARROW ESCAPE.
His Star THirler Ratified by the
Audience.
Four More Lost and Colonel 7. Perpetual
Robinson Beats the RsOord-Earris
Holding His Own.

His Exalted Highness, Duke Finn, had a
narrow escape yesterday afternoon in
spirited skirmish with Colonel T. Perpetual
Robinson's young men, who lost once more.
Score to 4.
Pools are now selling 10 to l that the
perennial loser of the Pacific will reach the
100 mark in the lost column by the last Of
next week. He has seven more games. and
the small end Of four of these will beat the
worlds record In this section.
A continual clamor OF tongues and over
grown feet added Ze5t to the performance
which would otherwise have been lacking.
The ColonePs tallies would also have been
lacking but for The racket. Il WAS the
most vociferous game ever heard in these
parts, and the noise was produced for the
sole purpose Of rafting g. Harper. For
six long and weary innings G. Harper with
stood the hubbub with the calm unruffled
serenity Of standard-bearer in the Saliva
ton Army; then he slipped a couple of
ccgs, after which he called upon the umpire
for protection.
J. Mcdonald. umpire, faced the audience,
held up hand which presented pleasing
variety Of simple and compound fractures
of other days. and said. "Let there be
peace"
This gentle command induced those who
had heretofore remained quiet TO join in
with the noisy folks. and together they pro-
duced din that would lull boier-shop
working against time. Joe Cantillion's big
dog, which was teihered to the Oakland
bench. lifted up bis voice, and thus was tue
moaning and the groaning Of the tied added
to the general confusion.
AFRAID OF THE PLATE.
Easy O'Nen distinguished himself by
pitching game for the Colonel In which
bases on balls were strangely. not to say I'M
accountsbiy, absent. He WAS literally
swatted, was Easy O'Neil. Bill Everett
ripped out home run, G. Sharp got
double and eight single-barreled hits were
distributed al intervals. Oakland played
shorp fielding game, as shown by five runs
and ten hits, but errors would crop up at
The wrong time and the game went the way
of ninety-six others which have been spread
upon the minutes Of the California League
tablets this year.
In the first ak innings tho Colonels seemed
10Th to approach the plate via third base
+. Sweeney started of with a double In the
second, but strayed too far from the bag in
getting good lead for the next G. Harper
threw him out In the fifth Canulllon
boDbed up with triple, but there was only
one man to follow and he simply hit to Big
Bill lip " eifS muH gave the Dukes
their first run In the opening inning. In the
next three men hit singles, filling the bags,
but clean work on the part OF Oakland pre-
vented any further damage.
Up to the seventh inning the audience
had kept up continual racket, which
finally disturbed q. Harper's mental eauil-
ibrium TO a slight degree and he gave the
first two men base. Hunkey Hines hit
double which scored one run and Ebright's
tumble let in the other two. In the next
Carroll got his base and scored on Me
Gucken's muf OF Sweeuey's long fly. The
usual two games will be played to-day.
Following is the score:
