THEIR ONE GAME.
Oakland Won 1t Yesterday From
Sacramento.
A Rush of Runs in the First Inning Gave
the Colonels a Sure Thing.
Another Game To-Day.

At one time it did look as II the game yes
terday would have to be carted down and
dumped into the bay, but along about the
third inning it took turn for the better
and finished something like real game of
ball.
Colonel Robinson's Oriental pageant and
the two Macs recreative alliance from Sac
ramento pestered each other nearly two
hours and half to q rapidly diminishing
audience. The alliance is strong one now,
all the weak spots having been filed in with
new talent, but the Colonels proved too
much for them.
All the interest oozed out of the game in
the first inning, when Oakland got lead Of
six runs. Everybody then knew that the
Colonels had their one per week well in
hand, and that there was nothing of any
great value to be gained by waiting any
longer So the greater part of the audience
went home.
Old man Hoffman had a very unhappy
time of it in the first inning. Eleven men
went to bat before the side was retired and
they had the six runs in with only one man
out Hoffman was hit for two singles and
three-bagger, gave three bases on balls,
made disastrous wild throw and wild
pitch and his haekstOp had passed ball
that was worth the price of one stally.
After this catastrophe Mr. Hoffman braced
Still the Colonels continued to whaek the
ball. Youngman driving out four bagger
IN tie sixth inning that scored two runs.
The game ended with score Of 9 to 5.
1t was left for Peter Sommers to supply
the usual quantity of bases on balls. He
gave ten of these besides hitting three bats
men. At the time McGuirk got thump on
the spine he seemed 10 have had Fremont
ton Of what was coming, for he yelled out,
"Oh, yes: thought So"
Outside of his weakness for bases and
balls Sommers pitched a good game. He
was so effective in the first three innings
that the visitors got neither hit nor run, and
they secured but five hits during the game.
The fielding on both sides was fair to mid
ding. Goodenough made his first appear
ance in center for the visitors where he
missed a couple of line drives. Hank Spies
played brilliant game at third and Bow
man supported Hoffman in good shape.
Patrons of the game will be panied to
learn that O'Nefs illness is not serious
enough to keep him off the diamond.

THE NEW RING.

that 1t prevents any possibility of boxer
suffering injury from conclusion against
padded posts, which oftentimes stuns a man
and places him in a position open to the
mercy of his opponent
The contests, which began at o'clock
sharp, were all match affairs, and the win
ners of each bout did not have to meet their
successful opponents in the preceding bouts
as Is generally the case in boxing tourna-
ments. In other words, it was a simple
dash affair, the winners of each bout being
the recipients of the prizes at stake. A. Nc
Arthur, the well-known amateur sprinter,
was appointed referee, and his decisions
were tolerably good.
The first event was four-round bout
between A. Lynngreen of the San Francisco
Athletic Club, 124h pounds, and G. R.
SSmyth OF the Lurline Club. 120h pounds.
Inc contestants opened the battle by series
OF rushing and clinching. 1t was a hot en-
eagement on the giye-and-take principle.
after hghtlng about two minutes Smyth
caught Lynngreen on the jaw and knocked
him stiff, winning the medal.
The second bout was between George
Bishop OF the Alpine Club, 1lSb pounds,
ana j. ,. FOX OF the Acme Club, 123 pounds.

Judges thought that Bishop scored the most
points toward the finish, and awarded him

on the door pointed TO the ticket Office, and

walked down toward Market street, looking
at the stars. A policeman brought him back
in about four minutes, guided him to the
ticket window and then gently showed him
through the door.

the band is playing, and the constantly
