HUNKY's EXPENSIVE JUGGLE
little Lack Rornar nitched ont the game

Little Jack Rorner pitched out the game
for Oakland on the Piedmont grounds yes
terday morning. and Little Jack Horner
was not feeling well at the time. The
game itself, or The result of it. did not tend
10 make him feel any the better.
Curious. isn't il, that Oakland cannot
win at home?
The grand stand and the bleachers were
but sparsely settled yesterday. and the
crowd that usually lines the roadway to
right was not dense by several.
Next week when two foreign teams play
at Oakland it is feared that the gatekeep-
ers, the grand-stand ushers and the BOY
who sells peanuts. popcorn and chewing
tobacco, will all have to be charged the
regular admission fee in order to cover the
EXPENSES incurred in keeping a broom to
sweep off the home plate with and man
to watch the broom nights and otherwise
tend the premises.
The unfortunate outcome of the game
for Oakland cannot all be placed to the
credit of Horner. because costly error by
Hunky Hines let in three Of San Fran
cscos' five talles, and once HOrner shut
off nobody knows how many runs by stop
ping a hot line drive from Powers bat.
And then Horner and Hernon made the
only long hits of the game and those hits
were only doubles. 1t was not morning
Tor hits anyway.
about the game was that Oakland got
more hits than San Francisco did. and san
Francisco got five runs and OAKLAND ell,
nothing to speak of.
Again Mr.. Knell covered himself with
glory for the way he sent the ball up the
straight and narrow path that leads to
Hank Spies ample glove. Four men struck
while "a
balls lie pitched, and the six hits that
Oakland got were distributed nearly
evenly through five innings.
What might have been terrible accident
was averted in the sixth inning. II the
bail that struck Power as he stood up to
bat had been fired out of a cannon it
might, perhaps, have abruptly closed his
earthly career and sent his soul acrcss the
deep, dark river. AS it was, the ball was
pitched BY Horner and it merely knocked
Mr.. Power down.
AS he lay stretched upon the ground
with the players solemnly grouped around.
Large" Carroll came to the rescue with
some very timely advice about how ball
player should use his noodle, whatever
that is, at every stage of the game, and
especially when batting, and soon Mr..
Power was able to resume his playing.
For four innings neither side secured
run. Hits were somewhat plentiful,
though not unusually so, but the taIlies
came not around for some reason, probably
that somebody was playing ball for keeps.
But in the fifth Balsz, Sharp and Levy
had filed the bases and they all scored,
when Huuky Hines first juggled and then
dropped a long fly sent out to him by Car
roll
In the sixth Ebright and Power were
both hit by the pitcher. Ebright brought
in his score. Maguire's sacrifice let in
Cantillion.
The last tally for San Francisco was
brought around by Peck Sharp. He start
ed Oh base on balls. He went to second
on a single by Levy, third on Carroll's
sacrifice. and scored on Cantillion's bad
throw to the plate after Work hit the
ball.
The long row Of ciphers below tells how
Oakland didn't score. The complete tabu-
lated statement is as fnllnws.
