The Coionels are in last place in the league
race, and hive been adjoining that position
during the past few weeks, but are improv-
ing daily in batting and fielding, and if they
are not soon out OF their unenviabie quar-
ters it will be because the other clubs are
playing tip top games. The change in the
infeld has materially strengthened the nine,
Youngman holding down Corner l like

is growing stronger and steader, and the
whole club has improved 80 per cent since
the opening games. They gave LO0ka-

terday afternoon, and but one fielding error
disigureS the last column Of their portion
of the score.
Oakland won the afternoon contest at the
local grounds without difficulty. There was
a big gap in San Jose's infeld. Robinson's
men were not slow 10 discover ltaHd tried to
bat toward the weak spot Bill Everett the
big Garden City ShOTtstOp, who generally
PLAYS an excellent fielding game, had an
of day. 1t seemed fated that he should
make errors lust y hen he should have been
steady, and, of course, his blunders were ex-
pensive. He is charged with five Of the
seven misplays on his side, and his poor
work in measure allowed Oakland TO even
up on the series.
The game, while not exactly yellow tinted,
was the lo0Iest Sunday exhibition of the
season, and the great throng was thoroughly
disappointed. as the clubs had been engaged
in close and exciting meetings during the
week. The game was uneven alter the
thiId inning, with Oakland largely IN the
lead, and the league infants were forced TO
be satisfied with a solitary run.
GaTheld'S delivery was far from deceptive
as he has few curves, but his speed helps
him our, and Firms batteTs seldom pro-
PEELED the ball to point where one OF Rob
InsOn's men was not on duty. Tip O'Nell
made a number of pretty plays on hard
chances and v hen he blocked q baSe-hit and
retired tile batsman ut first the audience
broke ont into hearty applause. Tip, by
the way, was mulrted in the sum of $40 by
Umpire DAnr hue for commenting on de-
cis0n. Long in center field played his usual
accurate game and at bat found the ball Tor
a single and a double.
In tie first inning for Oakland Long hit
for two bases TO center field, advanced to
second - hen CantiliiOn was given four balls,
took third on MCQuaid's sacrifice and scored
on Lohman's single. Lehman stole second
and CantillOn tried to ore on the throw
down but was put out at the plate.
In the second inning Hines swaS safe on
EYeretl's tumble. YOungmau batted to
Ebright, who threw lew to first. The ball
went past DuCley, Hines scored and Young
man reached third on the misplay. Gar
fields single sent Youngman home.
In the third for San Jose Fogarty's base
on balls LOokabaugh's single and Nc
Guckeu's base ON balls filed the corners,
and McYey's sacrifice fly to Long allowed
FOgsrty to score.
For Oakland in the third Lehman hit
safely, and Phillips took firston balls Hines
bated 10 EbriEht, forcing Lehman at third.
