WONDERS WILL NEVER CEASE.
Colonel 4. Pedestrian Robinson
Winning in q Walk.
Oakland Wins the Only Genuine Swat and
Swat Game Of Ball Played
This Seeson.

Think Of it, good people; that generally
despIsed and mnch- maligned baseball outfit
from over the bay has taken three consecu-
tive games from the doughty Dukes. and
Colonel Z. Pedestrian Robinson, so called
because be is now winning in a walk, has
hired man TO help him do his talking.
Truly. wonders will never cease. The game
yesterday lays over anything in the shape
of genuine baseball ever seen here, or any,
where else, for that matter. 1t was perfectly
lovely in every respect
While the score is slightly swollen-15 TO
11-yet this SIZE Of the figures do not by any
means indicate that the affair was unnter-
esting. In fact, more enthusiastic crowd
has not been seen at Haight street this sea-
son. At times the hOwls of delight could be
heard about a mile, particularly while the
Singing was going on. There were four
home runs, as many as usually appear in
four months, besides trio of triples. in
Vulnerable pale-b singles and hump
backed Texas LeagueTs that chased the
1eetiOoled young men around the paths in
drOyes. Everybody on the job scored except
Nicholas Lookabaugh.
IT WAS SWAT AND SWAT.
The Colonies never registered less than
three men in one inning. and sometimes
=
the like. Firms men had the first go and
tailed three, but the ColOnels went them
two better in their half Of the first, and from
that time on to the finish the champions
failed to get within haiing distance Of the
taHenders. They SWatted Easy 0Neil with
great fluency, but Easy's accomplces swatted
back with greater prOmptness ana yigor and
last night Unhappy MeGucken, Carl Nc
Ney and g. Stallings were too tired to sleep
after cayOrting over the landscape at high
rate Of speed.
There was no excitement to speak Of till
Tippo lib O'Neil jolted out the first four
Dagger. At that time there were
two men out two men in, two men
on bases and two strikes on TiDpo lib,
problem in twOS equal to the one Joe Shea
solved for the Coionels last fall. Tips
drive struck the ground near the foul flag
and rolled through the gateway leading to
the carrage-driye with Unhappy McGucken
tearing up the gravel in not pursuit. This
hit, which scored three runs and put the
ColOnels in the lead, worked the spectators
up TO high pitch Of excitement and in
spired all the young men to greater deeds OF
Valor.
7. TURNER'S GREAT EXPLOIT.
In the second Carroll emptied the boxes
with hot shot to left, which escaped from
unhappy McGuckeD. Another explosion
took place in the third for San jose, when
handsome D0oley passed himself around
with a homer Gown to the clubhouse.
DOoley's was the prettiest hit of the whole
collection, but there was no one on bases at
the time. Then came a lull for q few
innings, but the fever broke out afresh in
the fifth, when I. Turner, the Tacoma Ter
Tor, punched a large dent in the score
board and another flock of sOmbeT- hued
COlOnels hoated home. Mr.. Turner paused
at third base for congratulations on the sue
cess of his last swipe, which quite eclipsed
the other two.
All through the game there were hearty
handshakngs and general rejoicing on the
Oakland bench. Everything was so differ
ent from what it used 10 be. Immediately
after i. Turner'S highly enjoyable per-
fOrmance b. Ebright banged out a triple.
Easy sent two men to first. and then G..
Stallings obliged with another 70 r-bagger.
And thus it continued. NJ. Whitehead
pasted the bali on the point Of the chin In
the next for four sacks, and a mess Of
bungles produced two more TALES. In the
ninth DOoley hit tie aching bali so hard
that it jumped the paddock fence and hid
its bruised and bleeding self under the
bugges. -Four more sacks for DOOley. This
ended the fireworks. The features of the
game were the game itself and Hutchin-
sons magnificent manipulation of tall flies
! foul and fair. The last game of the series
takes place to-day at O'Clock. The score:
