O'BRIEN BACK ON THE JOB.
With Him Came Oakland's Fifth
Defeat This Week.
Colonel T. Paehyderm Robinson IS Not Imper-
vious to Adverse Criticism Lucky
San jose Wins Again.

His latest stroke shows that Colonel T.
Pachyderm Robinson is not so imperyious
TO the shafts Of adverse criticism as he
would have his censOrs think. In some
manner he has patched up truce with
John J. OBrien, which induced that young
man to try the job yet a little while longer.
simultaneously with the return of John j.
came the ColonePs fifth defeat this week,
which is doing remarkably well consider ing
that he only played six. Score to in
favor Of the Angels, which is the result OF
the previous contest reversed.
While still staggering under a gigantic
lag of words. the colonel solemnly declared
that he knew not the Why or wherefore OF
OBrien's return to the fold. All he knew
was that the young man IS back ana that

quit his shoftstoD JOB. he wanted to quiz
at tie end of every inning yesterday, Tut
the colonel STAYED him OF unni tn the game
was over. Can it be that Mr. Whitehead,
too. is DESTROYS Of getting his name I'D the
headlines? Perish the thought. He is too
modest for that.
LOST THROUGH BUNGLEs.
For a few swiftly fleeing moments the
Colouels played as good ball as anybody.
Then they went TO bungling, and turned
out an exhibition as yellow as the thumbs
Of a cigarette ieud. Whitehead and OBrlen
contributed a half dozen errors between
them that were of great value to the oppo-
SiiiUn. which put up an eTrOrlesS game ana

hits tie visitors would have been as shy OF

the Angels are too strong for the league.

These were the only taIies in sight until
the sixth inning, when Stafford started with
a double and scored Oh Hulen's single. The
way Stafford happened to be IN the game
was that Catcher Rogers was sick. New
