OAKLAND BROKE THE RECORD
Colonel Z. PythiaS Robinson Ac-
tually Wins Again.
He Sent Easy ONeil Forth as an Exhortol
Among the Players With Coed
Results.

Since Colonel T. .Pythias Robinson got
life for him has taken on a more roseate
hue. What is more. the tailenders won
again yesterday, making two games in
rapid succession. and last night they had TO
tie weights on the colonel'S ponderous feet
to keep him from floating off into the
realms of illimitable space. II the team
wins again to-day he will probably hire
four-in-hands to haul the spectators to the
grounds Sunday afternoon.
CarrolPs superb swat in the eighth,
coupled with the hoarse, gum-mutfled barry
tone voice of Easy Omen on the coaching
line, were the prime factors in winning the
game for Oakland. Score, to g. and twas
a very good gaae at that To be sure,
Bungles0me Bill bungled as usual, and the
stiaed sObS OF unhappy Joseph McGucken
could be heard above the roar OF battle, but
these are everyday features. There were
numerous brilliant plays on both sides,
some crscker-ja hits and neat exhibit
ton CT pitching by Lester +. German of
Baltimore and his esteemed contemporary
q. Harper, of San JOSE
CHANGED THE BATTING LIST.
For some reason the Dukes turned their
batting list upside down, placing Unhappy
McGuc ken at the bottom, Big Bill at the
top and shutting the young men between.
The change was conducive 10 the welfare
of Bill's batting average, as he secured four
swats, and the rest sustained their reputa-
tons, but as a rule the hits were ill-adVlsed
except in one inning. German studiously
refrained from bases on balls, giving but
one, which fell TO the lot of j. Denny. The
Dukes located the Oakland tNiTleT for 10
hits, earning five Of their runs, but in the
latter part of the game where hits were
needed to win they were not forthcoming.
No runs were scored by either until the
third Oakland had accomplished nothing
not even hit-but IN the third they made
up for lost time. Four hits and one Of BIG
BITS choicest bungles enabled three Of the
Colonies to register and then Mannasau
sent one of his uppercut flies TO Stallings.
In the next Harper'S bad throw to second
was responsible for two runs, as perfect
play would have resulted in a double.
Hutchinson sailed double down to right,
which disturbed the lime deposits on the
foul line and sent Whitehead and German
across the plate. Carroll vas safe on
another Of Bits bungles, filing the bases,
but Wilson sent pop fly TO EbTight which
retired the side with a double play.
EASY AS AN EXHoRTER.
With five talles to overcome. the Dukes
sailed in and scored three in the fifth with
a nice collection of hits, including a two
Dagger by Mr.. Ebright Stallinss made the
circuit in the next. German did likewise
10T MS nine I'D the SIKH, ana IN Inc sew
enth the visitors tied 1t up on DeDny's triple
and a sacrifice, scoring two runs.
When the eighth for Oakland opened the
colonel realized that now was the time to
act, so lie sent Easy 0'Nei out on the coach
ing line. The first man flew out, but Ger
man was safe on another of Big BilPs
bungles. 1t was then that Easy started his
pipes a-gOiBg and kept it I'D until the game
was won.
While Easy was dancing about on his
game leg and bowling ike an auctiOneer.
MI 0'Brien plucked nice ripe single. SO
did Mr.. Hutchinson. Easy put on more
steam, and when Carroll followed with
rap that scored two men the coacher almost
exploded. If Easy cannot win himself he
can earn his salary as an exhorter. He kept
on bowling. but the next two men made
outs. The Dukes struggled desperately in
the last two innings, but were neatly dis
POSED of each time in rapid double plays.
i. Turner, the swarthy young man from
the north, played first base for Oakland,
Carroll eavorting in center. The same
teams play to-day. with HOrner and Lo0ka-
baugh in the points. The score:
