Nothing Was Too Hard for the
Long Oregonian.
VERY FAST GAME OF BASEBALL.
Horner's Pitching and Parrott's
Heavy Batting Were Too Much
for the Champions.

Inc heretofore unc0nqnere0 B0St0nS
met their Waterloo yesterday at the hands
Of the Colonels and Tom Parrott.
Since their arrival here several weeks
ago the young gentlemen from the City of
Culture have been amusing themselves by
holding up the weak points of the local
teams to the ridicule of the populace and
incidentally in pulling down the lions
share OF the gate receipts. So engrossed
did they become in. this very pleasing
pastime that they gradually omitted TAX
ing their daily portion of baked beans
the wholesome food that bad helped them
TO become great. Now they are mourning
the loss of their laurel wreath.
1t all came about in this way: Jerry
Denny spraiEed bis temper a few days ago
while hanging picture of Rube Levy in
his new house in Oakland and was there
fore unable to participate in yesterdays
festivities. His place at third was flied
with Thomas Parrott, the web-footed
twitler from the wilds Of East Portland.
1t is popularity supposed that Tom has a
Ferris wheel in his cerebelum, but the
way he can play ball Is sight to behold.
During the progress OF the game he
dipped off three singles and one three
bagger, besides stopping everything that
passed between second base and the
bleachers. He varied the monotony of the
play by occasionally talking back to the
umpire or stealing couple of bases while
the Eastern gentlemen were collecting
their thoughts. The populace caught the
popular idea and cheered the long-egged
OregOnlan on to greater deeds of prowess,
and some even went so far as 10 call for
speech. Ii was ParrOtl's day To shine.
That the score stood TO in favor of
the Colonies at the end of the game was
also due In measure TO Horner's good
work in the box When Jack first sized
up the crowd in the grand stand he
seemed somewhat reluctant, but he soon
warmed up to his work, and after the
third inning the visitors only got three
scattering hits off his delivery. On the
