Down went the Colonies lowell, II you
cannot sing those old songs because you do
not know the words, why, hum or whistle
'em. But it is time everybody knew the
route licked out by the athletes from across
the bay. II they keep on travelling toward
the bottom at their present rate OF speed
some one will have TO knock said bottom oit
and let them on through.
Owing to the limited opportunities at
hand Oakland lost but two games yester-
day. OF course if the schedule had called
for few mOre-but what's the use Of ever
lastingly jumping on the poor fellows.
Ii they cannot win let them so ahead and
lose. It's better than plowing corn, any
how, and besides, it doesn't do any good TO
cTlicise.
Now, a mean man might up and say that
q little chloride Of lime spTinkled around on
the Colonies feld-wOTB would add better
tone 10 the exercise ana at the same time
kill off those deadly error microbes that are
rapidly destroying their usefulness. But
IL can never be said that Sucn wicked
fling will iud its way into the columns oil
this paper.
PLAYED IN HARD LUCK.
At one time it looked as if the Colonies
might win the afternoon game with the
Senators at the Haight-StTeet grounds.

McCloskey gded gracefully across tie home
plate with none TO modest or make them AFRAID
while the Oakland inheld was thr0wlng
the ball here and there, trying to see how
near they could come TO handling the sphere
without actually putting their hands on II.
Spies scored later on sacrifice lily, and TWO
more runs we're contributed III the next
inning. The fourth was a blank for both
sides. Then came the most exciting cpl
sOde OF the entire contest.
THE FLYING DUTCHAIAN's CRUISE.
The fifth opened dark and gloomy for the
Colonies, Long going out on fly 10 right

tried TO parley with the ball, but IL didn't
stop, q account Of business further on.

DOCKED AT THE PLATE.
AS the gallant craft weathered third and
swung his nose IN on the homeStTetch he got
tie wind dead ahead. Letting go all his
deck-gear he came scudding IN under bare
poles aud locked al the plate with Just
enough way TO bring him in.
Hardie'S home-run tied the score. but
even with This In their favor Oakland could
Nos finish ID way to please their admirers.
Nothing more did they get until the eighth,
when TWO bases on balls ana a couple Of
hits resulted in three runs. This ended il
SO far the Culonels were concerned. Sac
Tamento got a lead of four ~ the sixth, and
then threw IN another Ia the seventh for
good measure.
Oakland led in batting, having total of
eleven singles. They also piled up nine
errors, half Of which would have been suffi-
Gent. Rocky fielding lost game with
more than enough suck work In it to win.
The most interesting feature was in the
fifth for Sacramento, when the entire side
was retired trying 10 steal second. Follow
