The CoIonels batted Harper hard and

reason they were on top when all was over
Homer had splendid control all through
the game 1t looked as though San Jose
would make one Of their theatrical finishes
in the eighth, but good work foiled all their
efforts.
San Jose got the first run in the first

center. Everett was out from Horner to

home. After that they went out in short
order.
Oakland then took a turn at run-getting.
Irwin came to the bat and landed one right
between center and left, and moment
O'NeiH singled to center. The ball was re-
turned sharply ard Irwin was out at the

ANGELS DEFEAT THEMSELVES
Oakland Takes an Easy Game From
the Dukes at the Piedmont
Grounds.

Counter attractions in other parts of the
city had marked effect on the attendance
at Haight street yesterday.
The small audience witnessed FIVE innings
OF frst-class ball ana then, on the part of
the Angels at least, a series of errors and
punk playing which reminded one of the
performances of the Colonels in their wild
est moments.
Neither side had much chance of scoring
until the flrst part Of the sixth, although in
the second inning of the home team Sries,
after stealing second, managed to reach
third on Baidwin's wild throw. Powers lv
to Tredway. however. retired the side and
the line OF duck eggs remained unbroken.
Up till this point the cranks had no chance
OF making noise. but when the San Fran
ciscos came to bat In the sixth the irrepressi
bic gentleman in the upper box and bis
following began to get their work in, aud
for ten minutes yelled and shouted to their
hearts content. After flaming flew out to

his base on balls. Danny Sweeney reached

to third. The midget stoe@second. and
things began to get lively wien wild pitch

flew out TO Stafford, but drive of Spies to
left field brought in another run. McCau-
ley's bad error added yet another notch to
tie tally, but Henley was caught at the
plate on Tredway's throw in from left
field.
Again the citrus men failed TO score, and
Hanks hirelings added three more runs to
their total on another error by MeCauley, a
wild throw by Hulep, Balsz's muff by
Danny Sweeney's pop fly and Reitz's two
bagger
The Angels scored in the eighth when
after .McCauley had reached second on
Powers error. Tredway and Genalyin
each managed 10 get in a safe hit But
Lytle flew out to Hanley, and Baldwin who
complained ii was getting dark. struck out,
so only one man crossed the plate. San
francisco made three more runs In the
ninth on an error by Lytle, a passed ball
and two-base hits by Levy and Reitz.
In their last attempt the Southerners
added one TO their tally, when, alter HuIen
had made three base hit, Stafford brought
him home by landing out safe drive To left
field. All interest IN the game ended after
the eighth inning, and the crowd, who had
seen all they wanted. and the men, who
judging by the performance of some of
them, could hardly see at all, wended their
way home.
1t is perhaps worthy of q ote that although
Glenalyln took part in the game none of
McDonalds decisions were questioned by
players or spectators. The detailed account
OF the performance is as follows:
