The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-09-28

After mature reflection, covering period
of several weeks, Colonel T. Parsimonious
Robinson arrived at the conclusion that all
work and no play made Louie Balsz dull
boy. Acting on this idea, the Colonel
opened his heart, hired a new pitcher and
gave Louie Balsz well-earned vacation OF
two hours and ten minutes Saturday after
noon.
During that time young Strand, the new
pitcher. lost a game for his employer as
fuentIy as Louie could have done 1t him
self YesteSday afternoon Louie returned
TO his job, greatly refreshed in mind and
body. 1t is not known whether OF not MS
nav was going on while he was away, and
the supposition is that he was recreating
on his own time.
At any rate, the short surcease from sor-
row and care did Louie so much good that
he went in against the leaders and defeated
them BY score of 8 to l in the nearest ap-
proacb 10 ball game that had been perpe-
trateG during the week. Hank Harris men
are the leaders now, as the Dukes second
shut-out yesterday put them one game be-
hind.
While the play was In progress Hanks
general aspect was not so cheerful as dur
ing the preceding games. His only solace
vas the returns from San Jose, when were
posted by innings on tile big board at the
lower end Of the lot. Those figures, or
rather San Iose's lack of figures, in meas
ure tended to compensate Hank 1or the de-
feat be was rapidly accumuating, and, be-
sides, the tailendeTs' one game per week
MAS long overdue.
SOME sCYTHE-HANDLE CURVES.
A careful review of the affair reveals the
fact that defeat was due to Louie Balsz who
bad lust returned from his vacation. Where
Louie spent his leisure time is not known,
~ of hz cot In work The SnHpfa-
tors, 5000 or so, were unanimous III the opln-
ion That ne had been mOnkeyiHg around In
Vallejo What strengthened this btlief was
the opening of 8 large bale Of speedy IN
shoots, drops and strlke-outs similar TO the
ones used by Louie on his first appearance
here,
Hwas a painful sight TO see the local slug
gers moving huge swathS in the SOFT yield
ing mir, but that was about all they dld.
Some Of Louie Basz' curves were as tor
tuous as q sCythe-handle and about as hard
g. follow. But two Frisco men got to nrst
base in a legitimate manner. Nick Smith
hit safe twice and Blauyelt once Seven
able-bodied men famed out in recognition
of LOuie's oriental juggling, and the young
man religiously abstained from even single
base on balls.
Bungles gave Frisco Its only run in the
first inning. Peck Sharp flew out 10 Hun
key Hines, who is back on pie-snd-butter
diet. ID. Sweeney rolled an easy grounder
20 NICQAT, UuL AlldL 9Uuu5 pCloOh 4Ao1Ch
SPINE refused to bend in time to let him get
his fms on the ball. Diminutive Dan was
safe at second because SpeeT didn't have
his hind sights properly elevated when ne
threw to head off the steal; and the small
man surinted on 10 third, where he politely
thanked Mir. Cedar for giving him a start.
Smith singled to left, scoring Dan, and
Levy sent fly to Joe Cantillion which re-
tired the side on double play.
The second saw the locals quieted In
smooth order. In the next after SWEET
famed out, Bauvelt flushed single, but
WAS called out while ong root 10 second base
for interfering with Cantillion in the proper
discharge of his duty incident to heidlug
grounder from the bat Of Peck Sharp.
Peck WAS thrown out al second.
WORE A RUBBER GLOVE.
In the seventh Smith pulled up at second
on a double to left and reached third on
Gcdar's muff of clean throw from the
plate. From the way the ball bounded cut
OF his hands il was thought that he wore a
rubber glove. Levy flew out, Cartwright
struck out and Pee les, after two strikes
were called on him, fouled six balls out Of
the lot. Play was suspended while new
supply was brought, ard with the first ball
of the new batch Peoples bit again and was
famed out, leaving Smith at third.
Oakland didn't do much batting Itself,
but some of the hits were of the type known
as lulu. Harvey Blauyelt was located for
six hits, two of which were doubles by
Power and ons three-baggsr by Fred Car
roll, who wore large white flowing neck
tie, la Oscar Wilde. These six hits were
scattered so that but one run was earned,
and for this reason Harvey should not feel
ashamed of his work.
Chick Speer singled in the second, and
scored on Smiths bad throw TO first OF
GOdaT's gFounder.
In the next Power touched off double,
and was assisted across the plate by
Hunkey Hines drive TO left. The next was
productive of the only base on balls in the
game, which Blauyelt gave to J. Cedar
Carroll opened the fifth with foul,
which Pop SWEET gracefully swallowed.
This made Pop think he was in 1t, and when
Power came to bat he sang out:
Put it right over the plate, Harvey, old
boy"
Harvey old boy followed these instruc-
tons, and Power swatted the first one down
to the fence, scoring later on Peoples
throw TO first
Pop then told Harvey he had better use
his own judgment about putting them over.
