In proof of this assertion he exposed a

would It prove great novelty, but the I'M

great moral lessons evolved might benefit
mankind, and besides boom an organization
that is struggling for a place among other

In the matter Of players the young man
declared that be could easily drum up a

A SCARCITY OF HITS.
In view Of the possible baseball treat that
is in store for them. the patrons should not
lose sight Of the fact that Oakland Is still
haTDnG away on the same old string. That
luckless and deserving body Of young men
passed entirely through another game yes
teTday without amassing O single tally,
which makes the second experience Of the
same Kind in one week. a depressing
scarcity of base hits was the cause Of their
failure TO realize in the run column. Yet
the Oakland men are hard hitteTs. In iWO
games they made a total OF "a swats, but
they used poor judgment in the division OF
these factors, % Of them occurred in one

gone and new conditions confront them
from day to day.
The condition that confronted them

yesterday with the bat was four small
singles, which makes a total Of eight in
three games off this tWiTlef. Two small
swats appeared in the second inning, one in
the next, and the last hove in sight along in
the sixth. The tail-endeTs played a strong
