HORSE AND HORSE.
The Kind of Ball Frisco and
Oakland Played Yesterday.
Both Pitchers Were Batted Hard and the
Teams Piled Up Eighteen Errors.
San Jose Shut Out.

In many respects the game yesterday dld
not differ from one of those impromptu az
fairs usually gotten up by the Sausage
suffers Protective Alliance to while away
The time during their annual outing at the
grove. About the only difference was the
collection of two-bits toll at the entrance
into the park and the absence of rebate at
the exit out for those who left before the
expiration of their franchise.
After it was all over Hank Harris and
Tom Robinson should have called them
selves aside in different directions for lit
tie mild remonstrance, but whether or not
they did so remains to be seen. 1T is to be
hoped they did, and that they commune
Gated the result of their deliberations with
self to their respective constituents, coupled
with a warning not to commit any more
horse and horse baseball inside the city
limits.
1t was simply awful. From beginning to
end they wobbled and wriggled and
slumped along like dredge-bO boat sailing
against time over yachting course and
made about as much Roadway. In the field
they developed curvature of the vision in its
most aggravated form, but at bat they all
had eyes, dOtting the landscape far ana
wide with home runs, triples. doubles and
hlbSlGs. TIlSFu hdu llO OOob Va ~ s'AAN WV
by score of 16 to 10.
The first four innings bore n slight re-
semblance to real ball game; but the SIM
ilarity was not such as TO inspire even a
tenderfoot with sentiments of awe or ad-
miratiun. A sparSely settled audience was
there hoping against hope, but the ginger
that they longed for never came; and along
toward the last when the cruel truth
daWnPd upon them, their spirits dropped
like b0Tder-drama mustache.
ALL SORTS OF HITS.
When the fifth inning finally wore around
the score stood to l in favor Of the locals.
A wild throw by Speer in the second gave
Frisco two runs, and neat bunch OF errors
in the next resulted in one more. in these
four innings not hit had been made OIL +.
O'Nell who is no relation to Tip, and that
young man had deluded himself with the
erroneous idea that he was in it, Oakland
had welted Harvey Blauyelt for SIX clean
singles, but they were only good for one
tally.
In the fifth, with Tip O'Neil out, the
other O'Neil drove the ball TO center for
one base. Joe Shea was next up, and, In
trying to hunt, the ball rolled up his sleeve
ana hit him III the eye. BE had to stop I'M
til the milky ways. great dipperS. Jupiters,
aurora borealiseS and other astral bodies
had passed beyond his distorted optic be-
fore he could go on with his part. When
Joe felt better he raped out a single, and
that scored three runs and placed the
Colonels III the lead.
This state of affairs only lasted about two
minutes, for the locals opened up on E.
O'NeIl, and in the next four innings they
pelted him for fifteen hits and thirteen
runs. In all, they saluted Mr., O'Neil with
one home run, triple. six doubles and
eight singles. During the whole time
Huxley Hines aud Joe Cantilion wore
cards on their breasts which stated that this
was their busy day. Harvey Blauvelt
Jared but little better than his contem-
porary, and was jollied up with fifteen
b, autllul hits, most of which were small
bore singles.
There were few redeaming features,
Pop SWEETS work behind the bat being one
of them In the sixth for Frisco, Hines
made the greatest catch ever seen on the
grounds. Smith drove the ball into deep
left field, far beyond the fielder, but Hines
judged it rightly and was .here IN time,
Oakland opened the ninth at the top Of the
batting list and after the first two men
were ont the locals struck a bungling
streak and kept it up so long that (. O'Neil
who had retired to the clubhouse, had TO
put on his go-ashore clothes, come back and
retire the side The score is as follows;
