OAKLAND WON ONLY TO lose.
Colonel L. Parcel Robinson Was
Again Done Up.
Some Clever specialties The Angels Defeat
San Jose in an Eleven-Inning
Game

Those wretched Oaklands won the game
yesterday or had first mortgage on it. but
circumstances over which they had no co u
troll interviewed as usual to down them.
With lead OF four tallles made on hits,
clean and crisp like celery, the tail-enders
suddenly succumDed to a momentary at
tack of baseball paresis in the next inning
and allowed three Frisco men to score be-
fore hand was out. Another came in the
next and then two more which gave Harris
employees tine game by score of 8 to g.
Hard luck that but it is only one of the
many styles in which Colonel /. Parcel
Robinson can have himself done up. There
is no limit to them. One day his men play
brilliant ball but can't hit and the ext they
hammer away like rd-breakers, hut
bungles prove their ruin. That was the
cause of their downfall,yesterday- y-bungles,
pure and simple, and had they only retained
the system adopted at the opening the con-
test would now be safely slowed away in
the c0lOnePs gaunt game-bag But, alack,
aday, 1t is too late now for vain regrets.
SOME SPECTACULAR FEATURES.
Yet with all its faults the game was pro-
ductive OF some individual exploits worth
Sweeney, just up from a bed of sickness,
who hewed a home-run swat down in its
prime at time when the drive would have
been good for two tallies. NJ. Whitehead
was the author of the drive which the small
man captured alter desperate chase in the
vicinity of the clubhouse. Then Hutchn-
son perpetrated lightning double play
without the aid OF accomplices by claVinga
hot liner out of the air and coming down
with his heels on the bag.
But the banner play was left for George
Washington Peoples, who has parted with

get his moneys worth buying shaves.
Peoples play was made on Cousin Parks
Texas Lacquer, which started for short field
with the kid after it, He ran with the ball
and turned just in time to see il sailing over
his head, but he made jump and grabbed
the ball with one hand and then did a stage
fall, landing on the back of his neck like
the Brutal Brothers in their great knockout
sketch. Mr. Peoples went through several
other contOrtionS before finding out just
where he was, but he never once touched
the ground with the ball, Vociferous cheer

LESTER GREW WEARY.
This young man further distinguished
himself by getting in ahead OF a number OF
sharp swats down over second base which
would have passed away from youth less
spry. Lester p. German and Jack Horner
both obliged in the box for the Colonels.
AT first Lester felt tolerably well, but pitch
as he might he could not overcome the dire
effect of the miscellaneous bungles that oc-
Cured to the right and to the left of him.
AT the end of seven innings Lester was ex-
cused and HOrner finished the job. One
single was all that Frisco realized off Hor-
ner in two innings, but the game was too
far gone to be reclaimed. UuIike White
Wings, Lester does sometimes grow weary.
The Colonels batted Tanning freely and in
one inning Whitehead and Mannasau did
some very clever baserunning. The former
had his batting eye, getting three hits. Will
son got couple. Terrible Tom tore off
triple and OBrien exploded one single that
sent in two men. Frisco played sharp
fielding game. twice doubling up the Colo
nes.
To-day Fred Carroll will exercise his
charley-horse in the middle pasture. The
crippled finger is still quite tender. but
Fred is anxious to get back into tie game.
Charlie Sweeney has been declined with
thanks and Terrible Tom will cayort at first
for a few days. The game begins at 2
o'clock. Hoffman and Horner officiating.
