Il Was All They Could Win Out
Of Five Chances.
MIR. LAWSON'S LAST APPEARANCE.
BE Pitched The Morning Game at EmeTYTille
and Then Left for GreGlGr Fields With
ont Stopping to REMOVE His Uniform.
Frisco Won by a Score Of 20 TO Oak
land BatGd Out a Victory in the After
noon Standing Of The Clubs.

Colonel Robinson can thank his lucky
stars that George Cobb had darling pains
in his ear yesterday afternoon. Had George
been well enough to pitch. the handsome
Colonel of an awkward squad would have
lost five games in the last series instead of
four.
One game week is all Oakland is enti-
tied to anyhow. and if they failed to secure
that Mr.. Robinson would probably have a
duck fit, whatever that is. He is still conf
dent Of success, and is reaching out for the
pennant of 1891 with the feverish, insatia-
bic yearbing of man feeling up his back
for the end of broken suSpender.
He is also about to change the name of
his club to the Steam Beer nine, because II
has no head.
1t is doubtful if Oakland would have had
that one game yesterday afternoon had not
Harris men been guilty of numerous
Ubiquitous and likewise egregous trans
gressons of the common law of baseball.
Then the Oakland fellows played with
desperation born of despair and the pros
poets of an early release. So they hit the
ball as hard as they could and broke the
eighth commandment with the eyes OF the
multitude upon them. Some desperate
chances were taken in stealing bases, but
that man Cantillon was as full of slides as
plate on his skids.
BIG AS STAGE MOONS.
Owing to the severe pain in his ear Mr.
Cobb was unable to pitch, so he sat in the
grand-stand with his other clothes on and
watched the movements OF young Mr.
jackson with a critical eye. Mr.. jackson
was Cobb's substitute for the afternoon.
He didn't ill the position as we'll as he did
the uniform, being over six feet high, but
he did the best he could.
Mr.. jackson is an amateur who won a
Sane for the BrrlngtonS in the morning
and tackled the Oaklauds in the afternoon.
This is where he made a mistake. He did
l0lerably well in the first three innings. but
in the fourth his spirits dropped. likewise
his arm, and he sailed the ball up TO the
plate as big as stage moons.
But few of them got by, as Oakland
bopped onto the slow. straight delivery and
drove out four singles and one three Dagger.
ONeil was the author of the triple, and it
is understood that he will have 1t framed
to-day to hang up in his room. BY the time
the inning closed oakland mad unearthed
i've TALES and were thrsting for more. But
Hgrrls told Mr. jackson to sit on the bench
and rest himself, as he had done enough for
one day, while Pop SWEET went into the box
for the rest of the game. The change came
too late, however, as the Colonies mad a lead
of six runs. They have lost with brighter
prospects than this ahead Of them, but yes
terday was an exceptional day. Pop stopped
score OF to 4.
POP IN THE BOX.
When SWEET went in to twirl Clarke took
his place behind the bat, while Otto Young
donned Pops dropsical nit with the abnor-
mai thumb and played right field. At first
SWEET thought he was pitching to himself,
but he soon got into the swing of it and
played the string out in fine style, giving but
three hits and one base on balls.
Only twice did he attempt to throw an in
shoot and they both shot in. One shot into
the grand stand and the other into Tip
O'NeiPs ribs, with jolt that took him off
his feet. Pop then said he would try and
get along without any extra ilOurishes for
the rest of the game.
Pete Sommers was in good trim again yes
terday and pitched winning ball. He was
hit oftener than usual, the Friscos finding
him for total OF seven hits, including one
double and a three-bagger. Four of these
occurred in one inning, resulting in two
runs. lie struck out five batsmen during
the game.
The Colonel had another new man in csn-
terfeld yesterday, which makes three in as
many days, not including Lawson. The
name OF the new man is StoltZ, but whether
he Is signed for one game or two is not
known, II is probable, however, that he is
Following is the score:
