FRISCO LAID IT ON DEEP

Another shutout occurred yesterday to
gladden. the hearts Of the fans, but this
time il was the Colonies who were rounded

had things all their own way and kindly re-
turned the whitewash coat presented TO
them by the Colonies the day previous.
Score, 5 to 0.
Lester p. German Of Baltimore was
slightly off his feed, which condition was
painfully apparent in the opening chapter,
and his support was slightly moldy In spots.
Otherwise the tailenders might have kept
blndly on in their mad career OF unDroken
victories Frisco played clean. even game
from start to finish, though their work was
devoid of sen satioual features. They hoped
ioyously upon Lester p. in the first inning
and hammered in two tallies
This was regarded as most suspicious
start, occurring as it did right in the midst
of this busy shutont season, and everybody
said then that it was all day with the young
men from over the bay.
And when another fusillade OF hits and

hits previously mentioned. They were all
loudly encored at the time, but the young
men were too modest to respond.
Pete Sweeney opened the performance
with a line drive to center, and Peck Sharp
followed with another two points of the
port bow. Little Sweeney dropped Texas
Lacquer in short left, on which both runners
scored. The next three men flew to the
ouifield.
Hutchinson's muff of thrown ball in the
third was responsible for the three other
runs. Some thoughtless persons guyed the
third baseman. not knowing that he Is
almost too sick to play ball. Sharp started
with bunt and beat it out. Dan Sweeney
hit to short and was thrown out at first,
Sharp trying to make third on the play.
Brown got the ball across In plenty OF
time to stop the runner, but Hutch dropped
the throw. The runner scored on ReitZ's
out at first, which should have retired the
side without run.
With one tally in and two hands out Levy
singled. Hanley was hit with the ball and
Spies was given his base. Power bit to
left for one base, but McQuade jagged the
ball and Levy and Haney scored. Hoff-
man retired the side on fly to O'Neil.
The game was a little lopsided, but in

seats. There were few individual plays
of high order, chief among them being
Billy Lange's catch In center. RaitZ made
some nice stops, and Sharp and O'Neil both
