EVEN CHINESE
GREW WEARY.
Two Disguised, Slant.Eyed Citi.
zens Leave the Game.
The Gardeners Capture Wild and Woolly
Contest From Oakland That Was Smoth-
cred in Runs Games To-Day.

At last an easy solution of the much
vexed Chinese question has been discov-
cred, and by the merest accident too. Let
the Commissioners drive the Monaghan
population into the Haigh t-street Ball Park
some afternoon while the Oaklands are play
ing, and before the third inning is over the
whole contingent will make a rush for the
first steamer to China
1t was generally supposed from the way
a Chinaman was brought up that he could
stand most anything. This, however, is a
mistake. He draws the line at disinfe Giants
and baseball as it is played by the Colonies.
Reared as he is from infancy on pyrotech-
mics. one might say. yet he could not endure
the lurid features of the performance yes
terday afternoon.
Two Cinnamon strayed into the grand
stand during the early pant Of the show.
When Oakland made seven runs in the
third inning the heathens wore an express
sion of surprise mingled with distrust
Then when San Jose got in and ripped out
ten tallies in the next two innings the China
men got up and made a wild break for the
open air. The poor creatures were not used
to it, and besides, a Chinaman cannot look
with unbiased eyes on anything American.
TALES BY Wholesale.
When the misery ended the score board
at the lower end of the yard looked like the
schedule of tally factory running over
time. San Jose had 20 and Oakland IA.
The visitors had another inning to play, but
waived the privilege. They said they
already had more runs than they could carry
home. Oakland didn't seem to derive much
pleasure from the possession Of IA runs. If
they should score 80 the other side would
get 70 or 80, so the mere matter Of numbers
doesn't make much difference.
Link 30 in the mud chain the Colonel is
forging around the pennaEt made his first
appearance yesterday. This is Mr.. Farrell
Of Vallejo, the town that gave us the Illus
tr0uS Mr.. BalsZ. Young Farrell essayed TO
catch the balls pitched by Dir. Balsz He
rolled his sleeves up to his neck and went to
work with all the glad enthusiasm of a cen
suS enumeration who had been waiting ten
years for a job.
Seven passed balls. which gave the Gar
denerS four runs without the aid OF a hit in
the first two innings, convinced the Colonel
that Mr.. Farrell was not feeling well, so he
took him out and put 'Hunky" Hines in
for backstop Hale went to left field and
Sommers to right. Farrell has been catch
ing Balsz in the Vallejo games, where he
made a good record, bat was overcome with
nervousness yesterday.
SENT FOR MORE BATS.
With a desperation born of despair the
fay-enders rallied in the third inning and
scored seven men out of ten up. Five of
these men actually hit the ball. which so
excited the Colonel that ne sent for more
bats.
He really thought that be was going to
win. Finn must have thought so, too, for
ne came in and engineered his team till they
took the lead again, which was not very
long.
In the next inning the Oaklands touched
off four singles that scored three runs, max
ing the score 10 to in their favor. Then
the Duke spoke gently to his high-spirited
young men aud they landed ten runs in the
next two innings.
1t was about this time that the Cinnamon
| deserted. Finn retired to the office to figure
up the receipts, while the Colonel sat on the
bench and wondered whom he would send
for next.
For nearly two hours and half the game
dragged its weary lengths along. The Oak
land men Kept smashing the ball right and
left, but the nimble helderS back of Mr..
LoOkabaugh kept the hitters ON the bags.
But four runs came in during the last five
innings off eight hits. Still they kept ham,
merlng away.
HARD HITS WITHOUT RUNS.
A curious feature of the affair was that
San Jose got but nine hits of BalsZ in seven
innings. These, with the ala of errors,
gave them nineteen runs. Sommers went
into the box in the eighth. The Gardeners
failed to find him, but scored one run on a
complication of disorders. L0Okabaugh
was touched up lively in the way of hits,
the Oaklands driving out a total of eighteen,
including one double. With the exception
of two innings the Oaklands' stickwork was
Of but little benefit. On the other hand the
Gardeners managed to empty bag or so
every time the bah was hit.
As usual the visitors played fine fielding
game. McGucken executed a sun dance in
left field on Phillips hit in the third inning,
| after which he traded places with McVey,
who is able TO gaze upon the blazing orb of
day with the naked eye. Hanley played all
over the inheld and made some clever stops.
San Jose and Oakland will play two
games to-day. The Haight-street contest
begins at 2:30. Following is the score:
