While the San Joses Defeated
the Locals.

Love, according to an expert, comes like

whittier it cometh or whence 1t goeth he
neglects to state. Over in Oakland they
have peculiar breed or species of open-air

they tasted each others sweetness.

with large love capacity and great staying
powers-also white straw hat with flowers
on the front.
SHE COULDN'T BREAK AWAY.
They were at it when the game opened,
and the presence of players aud public did
not abash them in the least as they sat
locked in close embrace. AT times there

saw at once that she was clearly outcassed
and that resistance was useless. So she sat
and stared hopefully ahead like hired man
sitting for his tintype. Once he shifted to
strangle hold and squeezed till the blood
Ieeeded from under his finger nails. In the
fercer par0Xysms he sometimes made scars
on the floor of tbs grand stand with his
heels.
Through the long uneven struggle the
maiden never faltered nor tried TO break

While bis soulful soul welled up and
beamed out through his glasses like the

WON IN THE NINTH.
When they had gone the spectators gave
their undivided attention to the game and
saw an exciting finish to close contest all
the way through. San Jose won out in the
ninth by score Of to 4. The score was
tied up for the second time in the fifth

handsome and talented young man knocked
a home-run over left-feld fence, thus win

locals half they filled the circuit with two
men out. Then Pete Sweeny, after care

they all quit.
This was the first appearance of the Dukes
on the cOlonePS new park, and Finn is not
impressed with Oakland as a ball town. He
said so in plain words and Will play the
Friday game with Frisco on this side.
Hoffman and Lo0kabaugh were the OppoS-
ing pitchers, aud both did good work, keep

points.
