The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1893-05-14

just because the WEATHER cl6Tk mdQe Il
mistake and ordered ice carnival instead
of baseball weather yesterday Uncle
Henry stayed away from the ball game at
Haight street, and missed seeing his tai
ented young men win one OF the neatest
games of the season.
1t would have done Henry a wcrld of
good TO have been there. Great waves of
ecstacy and delight would have surged
through his very soul if he could have
seen Colonel Ten Penny Robinson, with
iccies Of perspiration hanging down from
his chin, standing apart from the madden
ing thr0ng, silent, sad spectator.
Never a smile broke out among the
colonePs features, never word passed his
lips. but he stood there, sphinXlike, ma
iestic and frigId, dead to the world, while
a great overwhelming fear gnawed at his
heart
Those whom he had confided in and
trusted were out there in the open getting
goriousy done up" and he knew 1t, and
1t made him sad
But though Uncle Henry wasn't there to
see it there were many who were-a gen.
erous outp0urng of the populace, it might
be called-desplte the weather.
Sitting out yesterdays game was little
like training for Peavy relief expedition
or trip in search of the north pole, but
watching the game itself caused nobody in
the audience gain. except the colonel, be-
cause 1t was good game and merry one.
After the game al Piedmont, when I'm
cle's heart had gone down into his shoes
and commenced to crowd out his feet, he
was heard to threaten something. That
is, he went so far as to say that If he knew
| just what to do he would be tempted to
| do it.
1t appears that he actually did do 1t.
| He telegrapheG up to Lodi and secured the
services of Chick Speer. Speer had secured
4 good job at Lodi. herdng a flock of
| watermelons on a ranch, but he came down
| in response TO the summons.
| He appeared behind the bat yesterday in
| place of Mr.. Ebright, who is not good in
that position, because he tries to catch foul
flies before they come down.
| Mr.. Speer doesn't do this. Yesterday he
| played a good game. He brought in the
| first run for San Francisco and threw out
| two men at second, besides doing good
work all through the game.
| Mr. Cantillon did not appear. Sharp
had the second bag 10 guard, and Ebright
| was at short.
Oakland opened out the first package of
tallies in the last half of the punt, after
| San Francisco had failed to score.
Ebright made couple of errors that let
McGucken and Irwin get TO second and
| first respectively.
|
and McGucken camein. Then BAlsz, who
was doing the pitching TOR Mr.. Harris,
made balk, and that let in Irwin, ac-
! cording to the new rule.
| Earle got pinched between third and
home, and finally scored when Chick
Speer failed to grasp securely tossed ball
from Ebright.
San Francisco made one in the second.
| Speer brought it around. He got first on
an error of ONeili and stole second, COM
| Ing in on Twins throw past first after
| Louis BalsZ' hit.
One more came in for Oakland in the
| third by a two-base hit of Hines and q
| subsequent single by Callopy
| 1t Was in the seventh that San Francisco
| made three. Sharp had already flown out
to Irwin. Reuben Levy raped out double.
| Carroll struck and got first when the ball
| was engaged in the play that put out
| Levy. Work followed with single aud
| Carroll SEQ red.
| Ebright was hit by pitched ball.
| Powers hit terrific swat out to McGucken
| and he missed and Work and Ebright
| scored.
Osakland's last one came in the last half.
| McGueken got started on base on balls
and second and passed ball. He came 10
third on lrwfn's fly out to Reuben and in
| on Hines fly into the same corner.
San francisco made three more, Just for
| luck. One came in the eighth by Joshua
| Riley. He .singled. He went to second
| on base on balls TO Balsz and in on LeYy's
two-bagger later on.
he last TWO were made by Power and
| Spies. Power hit out double, Spies a
| single, and BalsZ followed with another
single, bringing in the two.
To-day there will be two games one at
| the Piedmont grounds at 1920 in the
| morning and the other at Haight street al
o'clock i'll the afternoon. Yesterdays
| score was as follows:
