bits after th@ second inning to make the
game excitiaE, for all il was almost error
lass The innings came and went with Il
strange same3less which would have been
less moaotondus with even few errors or
mishaps. Thbse innings we're almost Ike
clock Work.
Altogether the game was so different
from what tbei spectators had been led 10
exnect from tihe opening OF il that per-
hsps some of the spectators we're IA little
disanpointed. hut however that may he il
was remarkably gond game. in which the
home team only made one error and Won
with score of S to 3.
Ano,ber EXCELLENT fact was that the
winning was made on hits. Six OF San
Franc;sco's runs were earned and so were
two of the ,hiee runs made by Oakland.
Sucb a profustun of hits coming at the
very first ofthe game led to the belief that
nthe SKY was high yesterday and people
Fwouldn,t have been surprised to have seen
the scorr run wAv up. but they were sur
nriSed to see Oakland so through eigh: ill.,
hing without srlnrlug and San Francisco
through six They hardly realized how
good a game they were seeing all that
time.
No blame attaches to Oakland for its de-
feat The errors made were NOS the cause
of it, The victory came to the home team
in the second inning. along with aud result
ant from q cluster OF five hits, the last two
OF the hits doubles. 1t was one Of these
occasions when il seems as if the men get
into the habit OF hitting the bali aud can't
break off.

and decided that single would Do aoont

and Magnire scored. When Power drove

was hustled back in ample time to have

cut at first by Cantilion and stopped the
fracas before it went any further.
That half did not put damper on Oak

Hernon singled. He poked the ball down
the center lane through crevlce in the
infied and it let Calloyy in over the plate.
The evident mental distress of Buck
Ebrght was shut off when Cantillian hit
TO Magnire and was thrown out at first.
Well. that first inning was about as even
as you could make it in both hits and runs,
so San Francisco startedFn on the second
