What could be more assuring than the
cheering words Nike Finn addressed to
Henry Harris at the conclusion of the
game yesterday afternoon. Henry was
weeping bitterly at the time, and Mike, see
ing that his tears had become unfastened,
sought to check the.briny flow.
He slapped Harris on the Lack and said:
'Brace up Hank, old boy. Chicago once
lost four straight games"
Yes, l know it, Mike" replied Harris
with q subterrauean sob, but how can l be
strong when my once proud young men are
CHASTITY wrecks of their former selves. The
joy has all died out of my life, Mike, and
the future looks dark and drear. If you
ind a chilled remains on the unidentified
slab tomorrow you'll know it's me-"
Having said these words, Henry Harris
retired to the privacy Of the oX-otfice, as
he said he wished TO be alone with his grief,
while Mike Finn. Duke de Gu ID tloupe
stood near the gate so as TO be admired by
his friends as they passed out of the park.
Owing to the varying fortunes OF baseball
81 enry Harris had no friends.
DROPPING DOWN THE LINE.
One week works wondrouS changes If
things don't go right. A few short days
ago the locals were but four games behind
the leaders. But they suddenly dropped
with that dull, sickening thud that accom-
panies each and every execution. from a re-
portoTla point of view, until they are now
eight games in arrears. OF course team is
expected to lose game once in awhile, but
no one thought that Harris would deliber-
ately encrcach OIL Oakland's copyrighted
privilege in the way he did. 1T is mex
plicable and also positively astounding.
Both games went TO San Jose yesterday,
and victory cost them little or no exertion
either. AS result of this change in the
programme, the home team is thIrty-s ven
points further away from the goal Of its
ambition than it was last week.
San Jose advanced eleven notches, and
Sacramento lost seven links, whic h they
slipped on account Of the strike. Oakland
Is twenty-nine points gamer by the opera
ton, which is about the only good thus far
evolved from the difficulties attending the
lockout.
The latest bulletin from the scene of
trouble states that the situation remains I'M
changed. 1t says the strikers have walking
delegates patroilng the streets and Offering
10 pay the red-card players fares back to
Milpltas if they will only leave town in the
interest OF the downtrodden and oppressed.
THE BLUFF DIDN'T WORK.
An unusually large Sunday audience wit
messed the fourth and last defeat of the
locals. Harris men made a splendid bluff
at the start, which held good for six in
nngs Then change cane Ger the spirit
without straining themselves. Frisco put
up a brilliant game in spots and led in hit
ting. But when they needed hits they
didn't get them.
In the first three innings they smashed
out five hits, including a triple by Levy, two
doubles and one single. These resulted in
four runs, and here the creation of talieS
ceased SO far as they were concerned,
Levy's triple struck the 1ivoli sign, which
is good for a box at the Bohemian Grip
and also book of the "oprey."
San Jose experienced some vexAtion in
getting its first three runs but finally Sc
cured them on few complimentary errors.
In the sixth and seventh innings the locals
were retired with the bags full. They were
still ahead, but the event so exasperated
Harris that he forgot TO chew his gum.
In their half of the seventh the Garden
eTs achieved victory. Jackrabbit Haney
reached first on CObb's drop of thrown ball
at first on CartwrIght's assist. Sweeney
dropped fly from Eyeretps bat and Hanley
scored. EbTlght drove grounder to HASA
mer, which mutelY passed him by, and the
winning run came in. Score, 3 to 4.
With few eptlons-seven in all-the
home team played pretty fielding game
making three neat double plays. Levy
made a phenomenal one-hand catch of a
long drive and Captain Cartwright struck
out three times in succession. In his fourth
time up he caught the ball for faint foul
tip and was loudly applauded. Following is
the score:
