MET THEIR USUAL tate.

an Ovation.

Oakland made a gaudy start in the game
Yesterday with San Jose. but wound up with
the same old hollow-eyed defeat Score to
G. and the Colonies scored two-thirds OF
their TALES in the first inning. But fate and
stupid base-running was against them, as
usual. They Outbatted the Dukes. getting
a triple and two doubles off Mr.. Harper,
but these drives were apparently OF little
use, except to aid iu making less runs than
the other fellows. who only got six scatter
ing singles off German.
Besides furnishing mild form OF excite
ment for the half-frozen spectators, the game
served to intI oduce 4. Turner and n. O'Neil
10 a very slim audience. The latter is too
well known to require extended mention
beyond the fact that he is still alive and has
his voice with him. Tip played right field
in a careful and conscientious manner ana
was greeted with few plaudits on his hrst
time at bat. This was the first appearance
here of Mr.. Turner, center fielder, from tne
north, where be acquired renOwn by KNOCK
ing boards off the fence with hot line dflv-
ers. Mr.. Turner is not yet accustomed TO
the Vagaries of the wind in this section, Dut
lie evidently understands his business.
Mannasau was shifted over to left held In
order TO let Mr.. Turner cavort in center. as
that is one of the parts he originally created
and he does not rightly interpret the lines
in the side gardens. The colonel was pres
ent. but did not venture on the bench. Nell
tier did Finn. Those retreats were ocen-
pied respectively by j. H0rner and n.
LOokabaugh, both muffled up like night
Waterman in a cold storage warehouse.
One reason why the colonel remained 10 the
grand stand was because he had made lew
remarks regarding the gigantic multitude
his team would draw, so he had to mlngle
with the crowd to make 1t look larger. Still

NO MORE RELEASES.
Had Oakland won three or even two
games instead OF one on the recent southern
tour they would doubtless have been met
with a brass band and tOrchlIght process
sion on their triuniph2l return. As 1t was
the Colonel was so pleased over squeezing
out his one weekly victory that he met tie
team at the depot with four-ln-band and
escorted the young men to their lodgings In
fine style.
He sent Carroll to the newspaper Offices
10 tell them how ii was, and how narrowly
they escaped winning more games than they
did. While Carroll was doing this the
colonel, surrounded BY his talent, cut Bush
man and Osbourne out and then made glad
the hearts Of those remaining by telling
them they were all ball-players, and that
he did not intend TO fire another man
this season. lie did this to jolly the young
men up for this series with San Jose.
There is no doubt that the colonel now in
tends to give the team chance. He is sat
isfied with the men individually, but their
team work Is not up to the winning standard.
However, that will come in time II they are
allowed to remain as they now are. Turner
Is valuable man both In the field and at
the bat, the pitchers are in excellent con-
dition, ana with Tip again in the harness
fair progress should be made on the upgrade
in the next few weeks
He has nothing to do with the captaincy
of the team, but will play right field and
help In his humble way with the coaching.
Josh Riley and Matt Stanley leave to-
for Marinette, Wis, to play under the man
agement OF Joe CantilliOn.
