TlG San J0SGS Still a Victim to
The Tally Habit.
THREE STRAIGH7S FROM FRISCO.
Two Terrific DTIbDiIgS, the Worst Seen IN
Many DAYS, Administered Yesterday.
Frisco Funded While The Gardeners Hit
the Ball Oakland Also Takes Things
Easy During The Last Three DdYS-Ana-
isT Games Standing Of The Clubs.

It does seem as II somebody must lose two
games Of ball in this part Of the country
every Sunday. A week ago 1t was Oak
land, but little or no comment was excited
by the fact People looked upon defeat as
q matter of course and would have been
surprised at the reverse.
Yesterday Henry Harris combination
suhm tied to a couple Of terrific drubbings,
one before and the other after taking
dinner, ard both administered by the royal
adherents of the Duke of Santa Clara,
otherwise Mike Finn. Harris does not
know exactly how to account for it. He
was present in the morning and saw his
handsome young men crushed by a score Of
II "a few hours later he endured the
excruciating torture Of seeing the San JOses
staggering off beneath another load, con-
sisting Of Il bloated TALES, while his own
men had but shriyeled runs with sun
cracks in them.
SHARP SOLD HIS BEAR.
It may interest some to know that Sharp
has sold his grizzly bear mascot McGuCken, ,
however, retains his white rat. The bear
was disposed Of late Saturday night, but his
evil influence is still felt. If Sharp would
only invest the proceeds of the sale in tom
cat mascot and introduce him to the rat
while McGucken was net looking the luck
Of the Frisco team might change.
The primary cause of the defeats was the
absence of runs. Errors also entered
largely into the result, which is dlshea rten-
ing to say the least. Then those san Jose
fellows have realized that there is a tide in
the affairs II batsmen which, if taken at its
food. leads on to base hits, and sometimes
doubles. It is true that Harris men Whack
the ball. and whack it hard; but it Is mostly
at a time when there is no one in position
TO profit by the hit With the Gardeners it
is different, and that is where the horse
ShOr business comes in.
OTTO HITS THE BALL
Otto Young, gnarled and knotty legged
Dutch boy, with a rugged. sun-burned grin
Of seraphie sweetness, was responsible for
four If Frisco's i've runs in the
afternoon game. He was born with
the smile, but his legs became
bowed from carrying heavy lunches to
school when but a lad, so he says. Otto hit
the ball twice, each time for a thrse-bagger
The first time he did this the bags were
empty, bat the hit was well received on its
merits alone. In the seventh, with two men
out and two runners watching for chanc es,
o. Young pulled himself together and
jammed the bail down toward the cluU-
house. He would have stopped at third had
not Everett thrown wild TO Ebright. Mr.
Everett was unduly excited and thought Mr..
Ebrlght was taller than he really was by at
least thirty feet So Otto took advantage
Of this natural mistake and came lOpi ne
Gaily home.
VICTIMS OF HALLUCINATION.
Those who have made a study of the ma
tional game, either from the grand-stand or
bleschers, nave doubtless noticed that at
times the players are afflicted with hallu-
cinatiOns They think they see a player
where be isn't. and when the ball is thrown
to where the player isn't but the other
fellow thinks he Is, why. runs come in.
That IS how San Jose got some Of its runs.
The others y ere produced in various ways,
but there are so many of them that il would
take too long to give even a brief sketch of
each one.
An awkward squad Of four tallies came
marching across the plate for San Jose in
the seventh. Two errors which, like mis-
fortunes, never come singly but in pairs,
and enc siugle filed the bases. Then a
ErOunder 70 Hassamer forced McVey out at
the plate. Big Bill had a hallucinatiOn at
the time he threw the ball, but Clark I'M
no" ked a couple of links in his vertebra
and got the ball. Harper's single scored
DOoley, and SWeeney's tumble Of Nc
Gucken's drive let in two more runs. Then
Hanley popped up q fly to Hassamer, who
caught 1t, and, forgetting that Harper was
on third, rolled the ball along the ground to
Young. Before 1t could be recovered the
runner scored. Following is the score:
