FRISCO In GREAT LUCK.
Playing Against Oakland Is Like
Finding Games.
Tie Tail-enders Made a Lively Start, but
Lost Through Their Own Folly
and Fumbles.

1t seems as the weather grows warmer
| the worse tie tailenders play ball. If the
present hot spell continues copious applca-
/ ton Of lime on the foul lines is the only
| thing that will prevent the performance
from becoming really offensive. The whole
| tribe seemed TO be suffering from distorted
vision from the way they slammed the ball
! about at random. Another game like this
and they would be appropriately named the
| anarchists, because they are such bum
| throwers. OF their II errors all but four
| were aEortlye attempts at throwing to
| bases.
The weather was the best this season if
heat was what they want. There was no
fog or no eddying wind TO blow the ball
! about, but it went astray just the same,
! winch made the young men hotter than
ever. j. Frank HOrner tried hard to bear
up and be effective in the midst of the ruin
raging all round. He succeeded admirably
until the ninth inning when he caught the
| infection himself and contributed a wild
throw that totally eelipsed any previous eff
Tort In that line. Then j. Frank eased up
ana let the locals swat the ball as it was
bound to travel anyhow
BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR BUNGLEs.
Iaken all around it was a beautiful day
for bungling. TO be sure, there were a few
perfect throws, but some of these escaped
without mOleStatiOn. owing to the abstrac-
tlon of the thIowee, who did not discover
the existence Of the throw until he saw the
other fellows running bases without let or
hlndrance. Frisco received the game by a
score of 10 to 3. Those three tallies amassed
by Oakland were simply the outcome OF a
weak attempt at another of their practical
jokes. but patrons and opponents are on to
them by this time.
A whole batch of tallies in the first inning

Oakland adnireT, SO when the tailenders in
troduced three as evidence in their behalf
10 one got excited. The populace knew
that the output would cease there. or if It
dlunt the other side could count on having
the majority at the windup. a single by
Hutchinson and doubles by Carroll and
Turner sent in these three runs. After this
q succession OF eight blanks followed, re-
HeVed by four SWatS, one of which was a
triple torn OIL by Terrible TEN, who has re-
covered his batting eye.
HORNER IN HARD LUCK.
The first for Frisco resulted in nothing.
and was the only inning from which Oak
land escaped without bungie Of some kind,
Then they broke out in the next. and scor-
Ing from that time on was comparatively
easy. IL the first TWO men went out in or
der, somebody bungled in the next and he
generally made the circuit with little or no
opposition. HOrner kept the hits well scat
tered until the last, when the locals saluted
MIN with two singles, double and a triple,
which, with the errors. netted four tailies.
Frisco played a fine fielding game, jumbles
by Sharp and Peoples being the only mis-
plays. The latter had his batting eye along
aud ripped out single and home run. In
spite OF their ragged work the Oakands
made few brilliant plays, Turner's work
at first and Whitehead's great one-handed
stop being among the features. Hutchinson
made number Of pretty stops at third, but
spoiled the plays by poor throwing. O'Brien
had but five chances and slipped up OH three
OF them. They play at Haight street this
afternoon at 2 o'clock. The score:
