A careful review of the tally market for
the past week shows a decided gain in some
quarters TIE market yesterday displayed
more activity than at any time during the
week. Twicedid Frisco bull the market with
Oakland on the bear side Of the fence, and
similar transaction took place on the board
at Sacramento in which Horseshoe Firms
hitters held the shorts.
One small batch of fair to medium tallies,
which were knocked down to Oakland last
Friday, has created a more confident feeling
in pennant circles. Their efforts to cover
shorts Yesterday with a little fresh buying
by the Colonel made the market the liveliest
and strongest that it has been for some
time, but the expectation that the tally state
ment would show a material increase in the
per cent reserve proved disappointing, Final
changes show a gain IN Sacramento stocks,
with a gentle decline in other grades
We quote: Foul tips were freely offered,
but found few takers, though some of the
chOicer varieties were accepted at cOnsid-
cradle risk.
Base hits were dull and weak, the demand
at all times being far IN excess OF the
supply.
Three-baggers continued firm and high.
with a strong upward tendency, while a de-
cided stringency was noted in home runs.
Errors, slightly damaged by the hot
weather, became drug In the market early
In the week. but stocks were TepleniShed
sufficiently u more than meet all demands.
A good article in the eaTned-Tun line sold
at fancy prices, but few Of them are coming
IN.
A GAME WITHOUT THRILLS.
In order TO prove that history in the Cali
fOTnia League repeats itself 1t is only neces-
sary o. state that Oakland lost both games
yesterday. This Is regular weekly stat"
meut, and aTTan Eements are being made to
have it siereOtyped in order TO save time
IN the mpUSIng-rOOm.
The feature Of the afternoon contest was
the utter absence of thrills which should
accompany each and every ball game 1t
was COmmO nplace-t Exceedingly so. Some
Of the Colonies played like a lot Of section
hands waiting Tor the O'clock whistle t.
blow, The poor fellows are suffering with
org - ee, which is French for tired. II any
one wishes TO know what causes this fatigue
let them look at the percentages in another
column.

Springs, appeared in defense Of the Co..
Onels. While not SO gifted rs the phenO-
menal Mr.. EalsZ of Vallejo, Mr.. Fitzgerald
Is an earnest and able eXuOuent Of The slow
terms with the plate. He aid not win the
game. Neither was he responsible for the
bungiug work back of him. Early in the
affair the FTiscos realized that all things
come TO hlm who waits, even base on
balls. So they waited They also struck
the balls that Mr.. FitZ handed IN, and
raped cut ten singles.
Cobb pitched a winning game for the
home team. The Colonies managed to hit
the ball often enough, but clean fielding
prevented the runs from piling up. Oak
