in the ladder OF fame and fully sustained
their reputation as the taienders of the
league, after playing twelve innings of ALL
| round baseball, finishing with the score TO
| in favor of the visitors.
The Dukes finally brought in one tally in
the twelfth which decided the game, after
which they shut out their adversaries who
| followed them to the plate by good field
| play, having run neck and meek on the
scOre-bOoks for three innings.
Despite the inclement weather the stands
were we'll filled by cranks, who gave Can
| tilll0n rousing reception when he entered
the field and welcomed back their old favor
lite with cheers. while McQuade. the new
left-felder for Oakland, came in for a good
shareof applause.
The game opened in dull style and put
even the small boys 10 condition bordering
on sleep. In fact il was like a funeral pro-
eession OF ms and outs until the fourth ill.,
ming, when the Dukes swatted out six good,
healthy hits and made the felders wake up
from their trance.
San Jose first held down the bench and
ran up a tally on two hits, when McGucken
worked hard for by singing to left, fol-
lowed by Kicker Ebright, who help him up
stage and took third on ClArk's weak
grounder. Everett sent out slipshod
whaek 10 Whitehead. who threw TO Carroll.

sight and mutted the throw McGucken
reached the plate with the only run made
in their half.
When Oakland opened the swatting In
their turn 1t looked as if Cantilllon would
greatly dlsapp0int his new owners. Both
he and MeQuade we're in poor trim and
showed the effects of their long Journey
across the continent by their actions at bat
and IN the field, although they warmed I'D

kicker, when OBrien came TO the rescue
with single. Carroll had a surprise in
store and sent clean swat along the foul
line TO the left fence, making the only three

U Brlen in walk from second.
Inc Dukes ran up another tally on
Dooleys single In the second, assisted by
y. Looksbaugh Esq, but were tied again
by the tallenders In the third. who sleeply
ran up tally In shape that had the cranks
yawning for WEAKNESS and declaring that
both clubs were "yery duh boys" at play.
Things assumed different asy ect in The
fourth, however, and both sides made a

cold wind and enyeloped in solid banks of
log, chance TO warm themselves by ap-
plauding bit, when they saw the tied

Dooey opened the performance for San
Jose, singing to left easily when O'Bren
made phenomenal catch from MeVey's
hard swat in MS direction, which had the
effect OF waking everybody mp. Brother
Stallings singled to left and Nicholas Looka-
"a W.
blocked In fne style by Cartilion, who
began 10 show his fielding qualities 70. the
first time as an offset to the hard swatting
Homer sustained in his delivery.
McGucken next distinguished himself by
hitting a single past O'Brien ana bringing
in two tallies by opening the passage to the
plate for DoOley and Stallings, amid the
cheers OF the crowd. Clark did the same
service with another Siugle 30 left, Will h

for Horner TO field IL on the return trip but
the latter not satisfied with poor delivery
muffed it and let Kicker Ebrght in with the
nth tally and six base bits on the score

The talenders also braced up I'm their half
and rolled up two scratch TALES on bad
tumble, which gave McQuade an opportu-
nifty 10 make third base after he had sim

the pitchers head, and let O'NeilI make the
tally, with the score standing IA aud the
taIlenders In their usual position.
For The next four innings both batteries
wed with each other In making outs more
rapidly than the other, and both were
gloriously successful, the only redeeming
feature being some good field plays.
But ia the ninth there came 10 pass one of
those inexplicabe miracles which brought
the Colonies In three tallies, ana again had
them tied with their adversares
Kicker Upright opened for their half and
with two strikes against him put his arm
right In the course of the ball pitched by
Horner, and, with an angelic smile beauti-
iql TO see, started to take the first bag.
Umpire GsguS differed slightly, however.

ishing the kicker mot 10 be too foxy in

runs, both sides doing good fielding and |
LOokabaugh's delivery making great i'm |
pr0vement, after which the Dukes scored |
