The morning call., 1892-08-13

crowd in the grand stand and the players
received little applause to stimulate them
| and the kindergarten now contented Itself
with picking up in silence the old balls
whose coursings were ripped in foul col
| lision with the bats.
Little Jack Horner surprised his owner
mildly by confininR Hanks warblers to five
hits during the game, but some costly
errors in the field and a home-run by the
opposite section settled the game.
The first three innings were remarkable
for their lack of Interest. and in all only
! cue was put down on the scorebooks for
| both contingents.
Cantillion opened for the Athenans
| with q single In the first, but was not
helped along by his successors at the plate.
| Hutchinson and McQuade. both Of whom
flew out. and finally died at the second
bag. which he tried to steal, and retired his
| side.
| Hanks warblers rolled In one tally on
| just one hit in the half and that was all.
| When r. Sweeney saw ball coming in his
| direction from the box he turned his back
| and was simply struck-it was so much
easier than batting the ball, and took the
bag. after which he stole second with
slide.
Sharp next flew out, when D. Sweeney
came TO the rescue with hearty single and
| died on the trip when his two successors
| flew out TO the field.
The next two innings were bare of runs.
| and the Colonies only made one hit, which
was worthless owing to the good field work
| of the WaTbleIs.
The Athenians had by this time become
| so accustomed TO walking out with a goose
egg where the runs should be that they re-
| tired in the usual style without even hit
| against Fanning's delivery.
In this half, however, the sOngsters
| added three more talies to the one-sded
| score on the board, and Hank bowed and
| scTaped his backbone when he thanked
| Spies. the instigator of the plot who ripped
| beautiful home-Tun swat over the fence at
| the critical moment and virtually decided
| tile game.
Reitz opened the Inning and few out to
| MOrrisey, as usual, when Levy singled to
left ana Hanley followed suit in the same
| direction, but reached the second bag on
| Whltehead's glazing error.
IL was then that Spies ripped out the dts
astrous swat that sent the ball almost into
/ Lake Merritt. and all three scored leisurely.
| Hank was simply delighted, aud. with an
| additional dig into the turf under the bench,
made memorandum on piece Of paper.
! which the agile catcher thinks means some
! thing extra on payday.
The Athenans rolled in their first two
| tallies IN the next two innings on Fanning's
! delivery, swatting him for four hits, but
| his good support in the field prevented any
| slaughter.
The seventh was bare Of tallies for either
| club, and in the eighth the Warblers added
another run on two singles and a sacrifice.
The taileDders only succeeded in getting
! their third tally on tho books in their half
OF the ninth, which was really presented
them by Peck Sharp, who accommOdatingly
made the worst error of the day at that
stage, and let Wilson, who singled, come
home TO the plate, with Whitehead out at
second.
Morrisey, the new first baseman for the
! Athenans, did some good work at his bag
aud tied Pete Sweeney in the puJOuts; and
| Horners pitching was unusually good. with
the result that he struck out five men and
sent them back to line the bench. The fol-
lowing is the score:
