the tailenders of the league by losing yes
terday's game at the Oakland grounds. with
the score standing to in favor of Hanks
sweet singers at the finish.
1t was really beautiful thing to see"
all throughout the ten long Innings played.
and 1t was not an errOrlesS game by any
means. In fact both clubs seemed 10 vie
with each other to see which could keep the
scorers busiest tallying them UP, and both
succeeded beyond their most sanguine ex-
peetations by rolling in crop of just 20
full-fed2ed errors, with honors equally
divided at the harvest.
Then again there was some good swatting
and some splendid field plays to offset them,
and Oakland would surely have carried off
the donors had not Cantnlion broken his
record and alone rolled in four disastrous
errors.
1t was fine day for good game, the
sun being obscured most of the time, and
gave the ielders chance to do some good
blocking and fly-eatcbing from the bats;
but. although the Kindergarten stand was
well crowded, tue cranks in the city across
the bay did not materiallZe to witness the
defeat OF the chroncs, the same medium
having evidently become monotOnOus, and
the grand stan q was nearly empty.
The small boy of Oakland, however, en-
1oyed the game thoroughly, and witnessed
every variety OF playing known TO the dia-
mond.
In the first inning the scorers started right

two talles. but it wasn't like Oakland to
keep Jack at work too long and MorriseY
went out at the plate. although Whitehead

present dgEing holes in the ground in a
nervous kind of way, but although their
adversaTleS added two more errors on the
books, they retired without a run.
In the second. little Jack Horner got as
far as the second bag on ReitZ's error, with

reached first on poor delivery OF Hoffman.
W hltehead's single to left brought Carroll
home with the second tally, when Horner
forced Wilson with the bases full, which
made the third out.
Hanks WARRIORS added two tallies to their
credit, one each in the fifth and sixth amid
great excitement, which sent Hanks stock
peg ahead of the coOnefs by two talles.
All this was nullied in the eveatful sew

seemed to have no little effect and the
Athenlans swept down on their adversaries
like the wolves on the fold and ran up three
good big TALES amid terrific STAMPING of
feet and shrlll yells from the kindergarten.
Hoffman was hit in heavy style and appar-
emily got ratified In his delivery, which grew
poor. and it actually looked as il the tail
enders would CAPTURE the game.
Turner opened the performance by taking
first on Sharp's great big error, followed by
McQuade, who singled to center. The Car

home TO slow music.
Then Whitehead sacrificed. O'Nein flew

plate. which closed the inning.
