TAKING THEIR TURN.
Frisco Changed About and Won
Yesterdays Game.
Oakland Was Left in the Lurch at the Start
But Closed the Gap at
the Last

Little if anything was said yesterday by
Colonel Robinson's intermittent ball
players regarding pie. with or without
butter. They merely took what was given
them, and We're thankful for that.
1t will be remembered that during the
previous game with Frisco. Hunkey Hines
metaphorically observed that he was get
ting butter on his pie. So he was, but there
was change in the bill yesterday after
noon and Hunkey would have been glad to
get a small ide-dish of saloon sausage with
blue fungus on it. Pie was not included in
the menu.
piguratiyely speaking. the Oakland fel-
lows fed on chicken pattieS one day and
feathers the next Yesterday was one of
the days when runs and things did not come
their way. They were greeted with fourteen
sockdolagers in the shape of base hits that
gave the locals eleven TALES to their eight.

WON AT THE START.
Early in the affair it was seen that Oak
lands chances were about equal to those of
an asthmatic hand organ trying to compete
with a circus band of twenty-four pieces
with calliope accompaniment.
When the locals turned to in the first inn
ing and toyed with Phenomenal BalsZ for
~ four hits and five runs, those who have
looked upon the ball game when ii is yellow
and full of Jumps, discovered the final re-
suit when 1t was yet affair off. So they
settled quietly down and viewed the scene
With the dreamy Indifference of man lyia 9

day afternoon bobbing for bullheads.

them across the plate, and Reitz let in the
last two by failing to squeeze a grouuder

rem aTkable plays in his section of the
rented real estate.

Feeling satisfied that lie was safe Harris
took Cobb out and put Otto Young in to
pitch. From this on the Colonels had better
luck, as they always could hit amateurs and
crippes. Otto's lame arm bothered him
some, and he gave the first two men a base

some errors and four runs. In the ninth
they batted out three more runs, ending the
game with a score OF II TO s.
In the seventh inning for Frisco Peck

chid-like Oaklands. Cobb was on third
when Sharp flew out to Long. The ball was
