BUT -FOUR LONELY HI7LEFS.
Louie DaISz Is Getting Next to
Himself Again.
Colonel 7. Proximity Robinson Shows the Ad-
miring Populace How Narrowly He
Can Escape a shutcut

Colonel T. Proximity Robinson gave the
inhabitants OF his native village a beautiful
vet thrilling exhibition Of how close he can
come to q shutout and at the same time
avoid that unhappy baseball epoch. with
one hand out in the ninth inning Cousin
Park and Tip each tore off a limp, half
hearted single. Then TredwaY forgot to
squeeze a tall fly in left, aud Cousin Park
got in with one dust-stained tally, which lie
laid at the feet Of his naughty employer.
One tally-only this and nothing more
while the other fellows made fve
Owing to the coloneIs foresight IN send
ing HoEner and Tip 0'Neil cut TO bill the
town in the forenoon, lie had an unusually
large crowd at the park when the game
opened. But for some reason the people
did not grow wildly hilarious. For the
most part q sWeet-0ii holy calm pervaded
tie Enclosure. Now aud then a spectator
could be seen wearing a politely interested
expression similar to that seen on the face
Of a man who attends the funeral Of de-
ceased whom he did net know in life. Once
a critical individual awOke from his apathy
long enough to assert in a loud tone Of
voice that a first base decision was slightly
decOmpoSe d, after which he resumed as be-
fore.
BETWEEN TWO FIRES
Robinson flashed IN on the admiring popu-
ace wearing a new straw thateb, through
which be articulated before and also after
the game. He sat on one end of the bench
while Carroll occupied the other, and be-
tween them the athletes who buDgIed did
not experience ecst8tic bliss while resting
from their labors Errors, like the descrip-
ton Of wedding presents in the society col
umD, were numerous and costly Not one
Of the Angels tallies was earned; neither
was Oakland's lone factor, for they didn
swat hard enough 10 ruffie the epidernis OF
the ball. Louie BalsZ of Vallejo held the
Colunels down to four lonely little hitlets,
one Of which was twO-baggeT created by
Lester p German Of Baltimore. Louie is
evidently getting next TO himself again.
Lester was feeling unusually we'll for him
and pitched nice ball, but the deadly bungle
got in ifs fell work on Lester =. The An
gels got but eight hits, all of which but one
we're singles that came sinEiy and alone. 1t
was tie errors on which Glenaiylns men
relied principally Tor success. In the first
inning QNeil muffed q ball that waS rPSpOn-
sible for two taliies. just before the game
Robinson offered this young man the Poo
bah job Of captain, manager and financial
secretary but he refused, gently but firmly
refused. Had he accepted what joy he
could have experienced kicking at himself.
Charlie Sweeney IS now captain, vice TuT-
Ter tie Terror, who resigned because his
voice was not strong enough for the posi-
ton. and Il was too much trouble to carry e
speakinE-trumpet in the field.
SOME DISASTROUS BUNGLEs.
Along in the fourth inning Maunasau,
who Is back in left field vice Lou Hardie
fred again. juggled a fly ball and Basty
Wright came lopIng home from first This
made three gratuit0Us tallies. Again, 10
the next inning. with Genalyin on first,
Hulen sent a liner TO left. Mannasau
dropped down on his prayer bones t. head
i. of, but the ball caTOmed on his kneepan
and shot over the fence. The runner scored
and Hulen reached third, but failed 10 get
any fur Their. The only bright spot was in
the sixth, when the first two Angels started
on bunEies, but were retired at the plate on
nice plays. The fifth aad last run for the
Angels was scored in the eighth, when
Whitehead'S low throw 10 first gave Wright
a start from whence lie tailed on Dad Me
Cauley's three-bagger.
In the matter Of bungle5 the belters COM
pared favOTably with the others, but the
absence Of hits WaTded OF any serious dis
aster that might arise theTefrOm BalsZ had
great control, giving but one base, and was
q inCs Oakland GOT but two sWats-White-
5ad's single aad Germans double, which
is mentioned again on account Of its rarity.
The C0lODePs young men kept pOking the
bail up In the air or along the ground
where Bill HassameT and the rest Of those
fellows could get it. Altogether the Colo
ueIs PASSED a very improbable daF. This
makes FIVE straight defeats, and they play
the Angels again today at Haight street 10
see whether they make it SIX or leave it
rs it IS. Homer and Stafford pitch. The
score
