NICHOLAS Was TOO WEARY.
Firms Lone Twirler Swatted
With Previous Force.
Frisco Easily Defeats the Champions In q
Lopsided Game Full Of Hits and
Bungles

All work and no play made Nicholas q
sired pitcher. lie was so weary yesterday
from an unbrOken session of tbree days in
the box that he could do little more than
Job the ball up to The plate.
This condition of affairs was gladly
seized by the locals, and they leaped upon
Nicholas Lookabaugh and smote him right
and left and down the center. What with
bungles and chasing swats, long and short
Nicholas supporters put in very busy
lay.
The Dukes were not in the pastime at
any stage of the game 1t Is true they got q
nice hit now and then off old man Hoffman,
but that gentleman was well supported.
All told they picked out eight drives, in
Guiding a home run and q triple, which
Melted them TALES.
On the other hand the locals lambasted
Nicholas for p hits, total of 81 bags, his
accompIices piled up nine full-grown eT-
r0Ts, and the result Of the combination was
is runs. And it wasn't an extra good day
for Tallies, either.
Not one Of the large crowd present had
cause to complain of the lack of episode,
butIit was mostly on one side. The locals
began scoring right from the jump, and
only in the eighth inning did they fail to ac-
cumulate from two 10 five TALES. Do what
he could LoOkabaugh could not get the ball
by the bat except at rare intervals. Both
the Sweeneys and Reitz sized him up for
tout safe drives each, Sharp got three,
Reuben Levy tore of a home run and old
Blockers startled the natives with q tri-
seeker.
sWELLED THEIR BATTING RECORDS. "
Owing to the indispostion Of Harper a
great zeal OF extra work was thrown on his
associate. At the same time the Frisco men
were given an opportunity to swell their
batting records, and did so. Ia the last
three games L0okabaugh was found for a
total OF 81 hits, great many of which were
due 10 the abolition Of the bunt, Batting
ana basel INNING are what the people want
in baseball, and they are getting 1t with a
vengeance these days. In addition to their
sHHtting the locals stole nine bases, which
IS also fair showing for one day.
But there were enough features 10 make
the game exciting, though the performance
did show disposition to lag al times. Pete
Sweeney gave several daring exhibitions Of
what he can do in the base-runninE line,
little Sweeney made q couple Of clever
catches and the left-handed gentleman on
his right pulled in five hard chances Bat
three errors maTTed The play of the locals,
one of these being Sharp's huff of an easy
fly, and couple Of bad throws 10 first by
ReitZ.
FriscO's encounter with Nicholas in the first
inning. and great was the joy thereat. With
one hand out Sharp singled, little Sweeney
got his base on balls, and, while Looka-
oaugh was getting In couple Of strikes on
Blockers, the men on the bags executed a
grand double steal. There is no waiting
now for sacrifices, and the young men are
compelled to keep moving. When every
body thought that Blockers was on the
point OF tanning out he ripped off triple.
Then ReliZ came on with a liner TO left,
scoring Blockers.
HEADING OFF A coACHER.
This was thought 10 be a tolerably fair
start itself. but the Dukes did little swat
ting themselves In their half. Unhappy Nc
Quicken started with single aud Ebright
followed with hOme-Tun drive to the club
house. he crossed the plate before Sweeney
helded the ball Clark made an out. While
DoOiey was at bat a young man with an out
sil-nighI voice yelled from one Of the boxes
commanding DoOley 10 make a home run.
Harris objected to this kind of coaching and
had the young man choked off.
DoOley did not make home run as re-
queSted, but he got a base on balls, stole
second and scored on Denny's single. tying
the score. From this time on the Dukes ex-
perieneed good deal of difficulty In getting
men around The circuit. In the third Sharp's
error and Clark's triple sent in one run. In
the sixth, with bags filed twice, the best
VIC HISitoTS Could DO was one lone tally.
Reltzs low throw gave Dooley a lift, and
singles by Everett and Denny helped him
home with the Dukes last run.
Frisco kept banging away at Lookabaugh
until that young man grew weary. In the
third, with Reltz on first, Levy clipped out
homer amid loud huZzahs. The sixth aud
se' enth Melted eight TALES and seven hits
but number OF roseate bungles we're mixed
Up with the lot. Nicholas support was
enough to discourage any twirler, and he is
TO be congratulated for doing as well as he
did. The score:
