frOntispiece. While at bat in the seventh
inning a glancing foul tip struck him on
the left side of the face just below the
temple, smashing one of the bones and
making an indentatiOn plainly visible from
the grand stand.
The terrific force of the blow nearly
stunned the player. de reeled, and would
have fallen but for Cousin Park, who caught
the injured man in his arms
Peck was carried TO the bench, while
Umpire Mcdonald, at the suggestion OF
Tlp O'Nei, sang out for doctor. No
medical man appeared, but the colonel took
advantage OF the excitement to stand out
and exhibit himself. a few misguided
people cheered. presumably because Oak
land Vas ahead; but it was no fault OF his.
Sharp was taken outside and examined
by a doctor, who said that his face was
broken. He was suffering great pain, but
there was no one to take his place. Pro-
fessor flaming had been seized with
another of his unexpected attacks Of ILL
ness and Old HosS ECffman was again in
harness.
So, rather than let the game 60 by de-
fault, Peck pluckily decided to go on with
his work, which be did; but the accident
knocked all the enthusiasm out of the big
crowd that had been making more noise
than d oss-goYerned nominating conyen-

minutes later BY the sudden collapse OF

dents. in which the Colonies again demon
gtrated the fact that they are rapidly
becoming the people. Thar terrific slug
ring was a feature in itself. and the way
they touched up Old HOss Hoffman gave
that earnest gentleman much pain.
Among the more prominent swats may be
mentioned CARROTS home run and a single,
MI HutchinsOn's double and two singles
aud q triple and one double by Cousin Park,
the only relative we have in the business.
Then there was some very nice work done
in the field, In which all hands figured. Lit

Two runs were all the locals could squeeze
out Of the combination.
There was a big crowd in attendance
roofing as usual for Oakland and which
gave vent to mach sound when the Colonies
registered the first tally. Frisco soon persisted
in the opening inning, but for The other
side Hutchinson tore OFF a double. LANCE
dropped one to his dUinutiye contempO-
rary in center and then Hank Spies dallied
with a pitched ball IN manner that induced
Hutch 10 make a break for third. Hank
recovered the ball and aimed at ReitZ, but
il went clear of everything and Mr.. Hutch
insOn pranced on home.

Pete tailed. Wilson threw Sharp out while

got away on single, but was forced at
second by ReitZ. Levy singled and was
forced at second by Hanley. Bl0ckers tried
10 steal down. The ball was thrown 10
Irwin, who returned it to the plate, but too
late TO stop ReitZ.
Carroll contributed his home run in the
fifth, sending the first ball pitched through
the gate 10 the carriage drive The ball was
yet aheid as Carroll neared the plate, but
Power made a half bluff to catch the ball
and tag the runner, which act caused Mr..
Carroll to skate upon the hard unyieding
surface Of the earth, much to his annoy
