Dress Parsie.
FIVE CANES IN ONE WEEK,

From this time on the tailenders can sp-
pear on the streets OF Oakland in broad day.
light without fear of molestation-a privi-
Iege they have not enjoyed for long time
past. Winning five straight games from
the champions is a record of which any
team should be justly proud, and that is
nIst the way the Colonels are feeling. Fur
thermore the popuIace is with them, and
those wretched young men are at last be-
ginning to feel that they may yet be spoken
of as the people.
Their last performance Yesterday was in
the nature of a cuckoo, and it nearly set the
cranks crazy. Everybody is talking about
it, including the colonel himself, who is
fairly bubbing over with words of self
praise, 1t is said of this gentleman that he
has a phonograph in his room which he
talked full of congratulat ory remarks to
himself, and which he sets going every time
he enters the apartment.
You ought to have seen Colonel l. Pea
cock Robinson yesterday on dress-parade.
He stood lust inside the park gate, gorgeous
in a new lfidescent silk vest, lovely trousers
with creases down the leg front and back,
six-bit lavender tie, Fedora hat with holes
in the tOp tan gloves. rosebud and silver
headed cane with his monogram on the
handle. 1t was the general opinion that he
knocked silly anything in his line ever seen
in the front window Of a clothingstore,
which opinion was largely shared by him

the multitude.
Lester P. German Of Baltimore was feel

got but two lone swats and one tally. In
the five games the Dukes have rounded up
six runs, and were glad 10 get even those.
This condition OF affairs is attributed
mainly 10 the fact that the Colonel has re-

0'Nei took the hint grabbed bat and
chased his cOmrade out through the side
door, which was then securely fastened
from the outside.
This happened along in the middle OF the
game when the Oaklands had their victims
well in hand aud the expected blightdid not
fall. The good work was kept up without
intermissiOn and the COlOnels pulled out
winners by score Of five to one. In the
ninth inning HOrner started for the club
house, but 0Neil called him back. The
little man is regarded as a mascot because
he always wins the toss for sides in Tipping
q cniu with Buck.
But for McQHade's muff Of the first batted
bal the Dukes would have been treated TO
another dose Of lime-nOt chloride, though
they nay need thai brand before long. Nc
Quade dropped a is ball from the bat Of
Unhappy McGucker IN the first inning and
the runner scored on q single by Ebright
and a couple OF sacrifices. That is the
whole story Of their exploits on the da-
mond. During the next seven innings not

ing of the Oaklands, Lester pitched in
superb form and the play Of the men be-
hind him was faultless.
Irwin and O'Neil covered themselves with
glory. but the banner playing was left for
Bill Laoge, who simply paralyZed the pOpu-
lace in the eighth inning. Clark dropped
short ny ID center, which Lange scoOped up
from within foot of the ground with
his eft paw while going at full speed.
Ii was truly wonderful eaten,
which placed Mr.. Lange on very good
terms with himself. Denny also came in

either side. Most Of the hits were Texas
Leaguers that had the poor grace TO drop
just out Of reach Of the frantic Dukes. while
their own swats fell sQuarely into the claws

Cantillion opened the inning with a base
on balls, Hutch singled and McQuade flew
out on a liner to DooleY. Lange hit to
right for one sack, filling the cushions, and
Brown rolled on to Dooley. The handsome
aud talented first baseman got mixed up
with the ball and CantiHion scored. With

ripped off one that sent O'Neil to third and
himself 10 second on the throw in. German
