The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-08-21
ROUGH ON HARRIS.
His T0ssers Easily Walloped by
the COl0nels.
A 0ne-Sided but Interesting Contest Evened
Up Toward the Last by Whirl-
wind Inning.

"This is one of the days when we get butter
on our pie" remarked Hunkey Hines in
joyous accents along toward the latter part
of the game yesterday afternoon.
When Mr.. Hines gave utterance to the
above beautiful sentiment, which was fully
concurred in by his coadiutors, there was
not particle of pie in sight. Nor was there
any butter to be seen, yet at the same time
the Colonies were enjoying a large fat pud-
ding, with citron- peel and raisins in it. AS
pudding is the next thing to pie, Hunkey
Hines remark was not so far cut of the
way, after ALL
With all the glitterng inducements held
out to them, Harris team could not keep up
with the procession. In addition to ten hits,
including pair of doubles, Peter SommerS
gave the Frisco men bonus in the shape
of eleven bases OH balls, which is enough to
win an ordinary game. Still they got but
eight runs. four of which were presented to
them in the most unexpected manner.
PETER HAD HAY NOTIONS.
Most suspicious was the opening perform
ance of the locals, when Peck Sharp made
circuit on two-bagger to left and Hines
failure to field the same. Sweeney famed
out, but the next two men got bases on
balls, because Peter Sommers was some
what haZy i'll his notions concerning the
locality OF the plate.
Rube Levy helped the runners along by
offering himself as a sacrifice at the shrine
| of base ball. Clark hit scored Smith, and
Peoples single to left the first he had made
since joining the Friscos, brought Cart
wright across the plate with the third run.
The kid then stole second and Clark started
home, but was caught on the return of the
ball. This is an old gag, but it works some
times.
Here was very nice start indeed. and a
frmer feeling of confidence was established
in the home ranks by the Colonies failure
to score in the first Cantillion hit the ball
with himself, instead of the bat, but it
counted just the same. The next three men
went out in smooth order, and Cantilion
realized that he had suffered in vain.
THE COLONIES BROKE LOOSE.
In the second inning the Colonies en-
ployeS broke loose and surprised the Ger
man twirler and his adherents. Hurley
lined out single, ReiIz got his base, and
Peoples miss OF Longs grounder let in two
runs. Tip O'Nell surprised himself with a
hit, and Long came home with the third
run, which tied the score.
Sommers was next up, and he sent a hot
liner in the direction of first. The ball
struck some portion of Captain Cartwrights
ponderouS anatomy and shot up into the
and last run on the hit before q man was
out. This gave them a lead which the
locals were unable to overhaul.
Frisco wriggled along through the next
six innings without scoring up anything
better than pair OF his. The Colonies
kept pegging away at Otto YOupg's ideliv-
cry, and had secured four more tallies, just
Tor the sake Of being on the safe side. 1t
was well they did. in view of what hap
pened in the sixth inning.
AN EvENTFUL EPOCH.
In this eventful epoch the first three
Frisco men swatted the ball for base, fill-
ing the bags. Then Hurley got in with
his great side-arm throw. He fain would
have caught Pop SWEET mapping at first. but
the ball went down TO right field. This
started grand exodus among the runners,
and by the time ONeil recovered the bail
and slammed it into left field the bags were
empty.
1t was like pulling the taiLgate out of a
dump-cart full of coal, it was done so sud-
den. There was no one ont when this hap
pened but \ Dung. and Sharp failed to reach
first Sweeney hunted tile ball and beat il
out to first before SOmmers or Hurley knew
what happened. Smith got base on balls
and Cartwright allowed the ball TO hit him
for one base, aud the bags were full once
more.
Levy lifted an easy fly to O'Neil, but
some of the butter Hines spoke of was on
his fingers and the ball got away from him,
Sweeney scoring on the error. Levy had
started for second when the ball was thrown
TO the plate. and Cartwright was preparing
to advance on the hOme-plate.
HURLEY's LIGHTNING CHANGE.
At this juncture Mr.. Hurley got excited
He was under the impression that only one
man was out, and he wanted to make a
double play. He danced out into the dia-
mond with one eye on Levy and the other
| on the plate, while he Invested himself of
| his paraphernalia like lightning-change
| artist in the wings of variety theater. His
| cap, mask, glove and breast-pad were all in
| the air at once. and he was making frantic
| grabs at his shirt when Rube slid back to
| first, and all this happened before Mr. Hur-
! ley could finish undressing or select vic
tim from the three likely young men on the
| circuit. Clark ended the performance by
| knocking grounder to SOmmers. This
| inning made things interesting, as the score
stood to s. Each side got one more run,
! and thus the game ended.
There was number of brilliant plays.
| Phillips made a wonderful one-handed
catch Of a foul fly over by the bleachers,
| and lie assisted in the only double play by
! pulling hot ine-drive down and doubling
a runner at second. In the sixth inning
! Peoples knocked Sommers down with a
! liner, but the ball rolled to first. Young,
| man fielded it III time to complete the play
| but Peoples ran out Of line. Following is
the score:
AT SAN FRANCISCO, AUGUST 20. 1881.
