HARD LUCK FOR OAKLAND
The Colonies Lose the Game
By One Run.
VERY NEARLY A SHUT0UT.
1t Was Slow Grubbing Until the Ninth,
When They 0czsd Out With Sir
gle Tally.

Had the Colonels succeeded in coming out
on top yesterday they would have accom-
plsheG the remarkable feat of winning if
teen games out Of twenty, an immense ratio,
almost as large as their previous record for
defeat.
But alas, the Colonels did not win. There
were but very few tallies turned out Three
constituted the total output-two for the
Angels and one for Robinson.
Glenalvin's men secured their two runs IN
the first inning on couple of singles ana
four errors, all that Oakland succeeded In
making during the game. In the last the
Colonies polished OFF the affair with one
tally, thereby avoiding a shutout by very
narrow margin.
There was a big crowd present pulling
hard for Oakland, but that lone run was all
thew could squeeze out, and that was crea-
ture of circumstances.
After the first INNING Oakland played
perfect game, and Stafford's miss of hard
chance was the only misplav on the other
side. Homer aud McNabb were both in
fine form, but three hits being made of the
former and four off Big Pete. Both had
fine control and but for the bungles IN the
first inning the game would have ranked
with the best ever played on the grounds.
Asst was the excitement reached fever heat
at several critical periods.
Stafford opened hostilities in the first with
atsll pop fly over third which Irwin reached,
but failed 10 hold, and the runner got Sec
ond on the muf. Rasty Wright touched of
a single 10 left scoring Stafford. While
folding with The next man horner sought
TO catch Wright mapping at first, but threw
wide and the runner sprlnted around to
third. Tredway struck out and McCauley
sent grounder to Irwin who fumbled and
Wright crossed the plate.
Then GlenalYin drove one out to right
field. end Lytle poked an easy one to Hor-
neT, who tried to double Glen at second, but
again threw wide. Irwin blocked the ball,
preventing McCauley from SCORING This
Tiled the bags, but the next two men made
easy outs.
From this on the Colonels pat up a great
game. One single IN the fifth was the best
they could do with Mr. Horner's delivery.
and that young man was ably sustained by
his aee0mplices.
Oakland had hard row TO hoe from start

getting a man on the track, but could not
push him under the wire. Big Pete's drops
proved puzzler, and the team feided
everything in sight
At the opening of the ninth for Oakland
it looked like shutout, but the fans came
TO the rescue of their favorites. and set up
din that ratified Big Pete for a moment.

too warm 10 handle without t0ngs and the
runner was safe. Hutchinson tore off a
single, filing the bases.

which he got in time to stop the runner, but
could not throw Homer out at the plate,
and thus the Colone.s warded off the white
wash.
