SIX EARNED RUNS.
They Swamped Hank Harris In
One Short Inning.
T. Parrott, Late of Portland, Pitched Winning
Ball for the Senators-0akland and
Sacramento To-Day.

Certain climatic influences wrought a sud-
den change In the baseball business yes-
terday afternoon. The sun cane out bright
and warm. loo sening up the sinews of the
Senators to such an extent that Hank
Harris was tumbed from the highest pin
nacle of baseball rapture to the lowest
depths of black DESPAIR in one short inning.
The change was as unexpected and about
as welcome as visit from poor relation.
1t took place in the seventh inning, when
the score stood to 0 in favor of Harris.
Then McCloSkey gave his Steers the signal
to concentrate their forces in combined
assault on G. Cobb. They did so and
swiped him for seven hits and six earned
runs. winning the game by a score of to 4.
fair to medium assemblage was present
to see this change. and it pleased some of
them nightly. Not that they had anything
against Hank and his cOh0rtS-no, but then
any team that turns the tide with Garrison
finish is bound to be popular for the time
being, besides the game was won on purely
baseball principles.
McCl oskey had some warmed-over talent,
as it were, among his people. Piggy Ward,
who jumped his job and then came jumping
back again in a penitent mood, played right
field. Piggy did some roofing on the coach
ing line for his employer and also contrib
uted one hit and one run to the general
fund. Piggy's jumping partner, Huston,
played third base.
t. PARRoTT OF PORTLAND.
Tom Parrott, late of Portland Oregon,
pitched an extremely picturesque game Of
ball Tor his employer. HIS motions at times
are calculated to appall the stOutest-hearted
batter and this is one of the reasons, per-
haps, why Frisco got but four desultory
hits off him. He watches the bases eau
tiously and also fields his position well,
making some good stops and throws.
Mr.. Parrot is long and slim and wiry,
and intensely earnest In his work. He
comes from family that is distinctly base
ball, even unto It's eHuteSt ramllcatl0ns. Up
in Portland, Oregon, tile Parrot family con-
Stitutes an entire bail team and keeps q
standing challenge to any other family in
tie United States that can produce an en-
tire team from its own freslde.
Papa Parrot ana the big boys play the in
field, the little ParrOtt boys chase the ball
in the dim distance and Mamma Parrot, il
is said can sit on the bench in an einer-
geGcy ana keep a toleIably fair score. Tom
and his brother Jiggs are the only profess
sionalS tuI ned out by the PsrrOtt family to
date, but the other members are looking for
ward to the future.
AS a rule people invariably look forward
in the matter Of 1utures.
Hank Harris three tallies were q sort of
curtaln-raiseI to the grand spectacular eX-
trayaganza which took place later on They
scored one in the first on a couple OF hits
they got from Mr.. Parrot before the long
man got fully warmed up to his work.
Sweeney singled and scored ON Smiths two
bagger.
SIX EARNED RUNS.
Along in the fifth Sweeney was safe on
Bill HasSamer'S tumble and scored on Peck
Sharp's three-bagger. The latter crossed
the plate on big Bili'S second tumble.
During the first six innings for Sacra-
mento it ooked as if these young men were
not in it. They had reached Cobb for three
hits, including two doubles and single, but
the magnificent fielding of the locals Kept
the Steers away from the plate.
In the seventh, however a change that
was not down on the bills took place and
the Senators lit on Mr. Cobb for seven
clean hits that netted six earned runs. 1t
was great surprise all round, particularly
to Mr.. Cobb. Messrs. Hust,n. Retz, Roo
erts, ParTott and Ward stepped up and
banged out five singles in a row before a
man was out. Then G00denough sacrificed,
scoring Roberts with the third run, aud
Hassamer raped out a triple that dumped
PARROT and Piggy Ward across the plate.
Hank Spies forced Hassamer at the plate,
but McGuirk drove a liner to right that
brought Spies home with the sixth and last
run. Huston retired the side on fly TO
Cartwright.
1t was at this point that a change came
over the spirit OF Hank Harris dreams.
His men made an effort to pull out of the
scrape, but the nearest they got to it was
one tally in the ninth, which WAS due to
errors. The locals played a great fielding
game, Smith and Peoples each making some
fine stops. The Senators and Colonies Will
play to-day with Hoffman and Borchers in
the box. Following is the score:
