OAKLAND'S GARRISON FINISH
They Swat Out Victory in the
Tenth Inning.
Jack Horner Was Batted Out, but Easy Came
Eobly to the Reseue-Great Day
for Hits.

1t took 10 long innings, full Of episode and
swatS, to settle the baseball imbrOglio in
RObinsoD's dust-laden park yesterday after
noon. Contrary TO time-hon0red custom.
the tailenders got out alive, score 16 to u.
and now Colonel I. POrpoise Robinson is
blowing louder and longer and deeper than
ever before. because be has at last demon
strated to his fellew citizens that his young
men can play ball. If they wallop Hank
again the Colonel will probably think he is
whale, and take to spouting.
There was never so much genuine base
ball crowded into the park since the swamp
was pumped out ana the fence put up with
wire on tor. 1t included everything. from
Texas leaguers to homs runs, with now and
then a startled snort of pain as one of Fan
ning's insho0ts daried into the gloating ribs
of an Oakland batsman. Hits and tallies
came in punches. and at times when the
hum and turmoil OF baseball traffic was at
its height you could not see the young men
for dust. Little Jack Horner was swatted
out Of the box, and Professor Tanning
wonld also have been glad to 60 to his cor
neT had there been any one to take the job
off his hands. But Lou Hardie occupied the
only extra uniform, aud old man Hoffman
was visiting in the grand stand d with his 60
ashore clothes on.
EAH1 10 HE KESCI
The swats of the Colonels ladiated In all
directions like the rays in the picture of a
rising sun. In all they touched Tanning up
for l6 hits. with total Of 26 bases. On the
other hand Mr.. HorneT was also jOlted with
crest liberality, ne and Easy O'Neil being
found for a total of "A bases. Two home
runs by Pete Sweeney was fair sample of
how the young men were swatting. Oak
land took the lead and in three innings
scored hge runs on two triples, a pair Of
doubles and one single. Frisco get but one
run and one hit in three innings, but in the
fourth, with two men on bases Pete
Sweeney lifted the ball over the fence and
eyened things up.
For the next three innings the Colonels
failed 10 find hit, but the FriscOs pelt ed
Horner right and left. 10 the sixth th ey
sauled him with four singles in a row and
then the coloael yanked him out and gave
Easy a chance. At that stage the score
stood to against the Colonies, but Easy
went 10 work and pulled his employer out
of hole. -Four hits in four innings was all
the FriscOs got FROM Easy, who seemed to
Inspire his aceOmplices with fresh courage.
When the ninth opened the Colonies were
three tallles ~ arrears and 1t looked like a
hopeless case, but in the ninth and tenth
they scored 10 runs on eight hits. some eT-
r0rs, two bases on balls ana four hits by the
pitcher.

which Oakland piled uD six more tailies
on a great com biuatOn of hits and bungles.

fee and the Terror followed with a single
that ended in a home run. BlOckerS got the
ball in short right, bet Easy bad scored
when Hanley sent the sphere whiZZing IN
to Hank Spies. 1t went far over his head
and bounded into the beer saloon back of
the grand stand. Three men scored ON the
play amid great excitement. Another bit

Parks Lacquer and Billy GimmePs hit pro-
duced three more. Fanniug's single aud
