But Sacramento Wins the Game
Through Errors.
Robinson's New Title Fails to Make Sue
cessful War -BOrchers' Un-
lucky Throw to Second

Colonel Thomas Posthumnus Robinson,
BIB. d, has been struggling all season to
collect together tribe of Indians competent
10 suitably enjoy the Oakland reservation.
To do SO he has already imported nearly hall
hundred from the various preserves of the
country. and completed the list last week
with Shea from the Seattle tribe and Chief
Borcbers of tie Spokanes. The chief was
hooked upon as the prize catch of the year,
but his work at present has not been up TO
the winning standard. Sill he is fully
equal to the ColunePs best. The latter has
attached the degree Of B. 3. D., doctor OF
baseball, to his name in order to attract the
attention OF the spectators to him, Tor one
must not Slight the great medicine man OF
tine OaklandS.
incidentally it might be said that the sur
viying warriors of this band endeavored to
successfully cope with the Drawn of Nc
Clo,key's Sacramento team, but at the end
Of the nine innings there was nothing left
for them ept large slices of fog and the
echo Of O'Nei's poor Hamilton College
grammar. The chief and Hoffman were
opposed to each other, BOrcherS receiving
the least punishment, and Holman receiY-
ing the best support. Power and Good
enough were the only players TO USE their
bats with any marked effect

hit by Power was az the damage done for
an inning and a half ln the second Spies
hit a high bounding ball over BOrchers
head. The chiefs hand shot up. clutched at
the air ana fog and drew down the ball,

hit to short. Shea shook hands with the
ball which Travelled on out into the Held,
McGulrk rejoicing at first. Huston hit TO
BOrcuerS. who had plenty OF time 10 make
double play, but re made low, wide throw
10 second and both runners were safe keltZ
then drove out a thTee-bagger TO the left
field fence, scoring both McGulrk and Hus-
ton. Ii might be here remarked that had
tile double play spoken OF been made OAK
land probably would have won the game.
With one Out and Reitz on third Roberts
took a base IN balls and stole second. On
tie throw down and return OF the ball ReltZ
was caught al the pate-Speer to Shea To
Npeer. Holman then popped up touI hy

In the ninth O'Neil hit along the third

oud on a wild pitch and tJ third on Spies
throw along the ground. B1rchers scored
