PLENTY OF RUNS.
San Francisco Defeats
Oakland.
A Earge Crowd Witnesses the Third
of the New Series of Base
ball Games.

1t begins to look as though the new
series OF thiTty-hve games to be played be-
tween the Oakland and San Francisco
teams will prove paving venture and re-
suit in keeping alive public interest in the
national game that of late has been flag
Ging in way that was nothing less than
alarming 10 the few enthusiasts who have
the success of the sport at heart.
The third game of the series was played
at Piedmont yesterday and the crowd that
turned out to witness the sport was in
every respect satisfactory to the promoters
of the new schedule. The game Itself,
viewed from a professional stand point,
left many things to DE desired, but there
was plenty ofrun getting and grand-stand
plays. all of which met with popular ap-
proval and kept interest in the game uD TO
a fever pitch. Oakland started off with
one run in the first inning and to this they
added two more when they again came to
bat. When San Francisco failed to score
IN the second inning, after having piled up
two formidable looking tallies in the first,
the Oakland contingent in the stand had a
season OF great enthusiasm. 1t was short
lived, however For some reason or other
the eX-COl0nels Gid not succeed in finding
the nimble BalsZ to any appreciable extent.
During the succeeding six innings they ac-
cumuiated a string of ciphers. the un-
broken entirety of which put a damper on
the erstwhile bubbling enthusiasm of the
grand-stand howlers. In the meantime
six more runs had been added to San Fran
ciSco's score, and it looked as though the
case was a hopeless one. 1t was, indeed.
but when.the Oaklands. with one man out,
rolled up three runs, the enthusiasm again
broke forth. Everyb body shouted for home
runs. But the home runs were not forth
coming, and as Power gathered in the La t
fly out of the sunny atmosphere, an audi
BILE sigh went up from the Oaklanders. for
their champions were sUll two runs shy,
and no more innings left. Following is

Bay City BicycIists Take a Sunday
Century Run.

stoned by last weeks electric-light meet.
The start was made at $50 o'clock A. NJ,

lunch was to be taken ana the return trip

The route was over Tie bay road and the
distance is an exact fifty miles. The road
is in excellent conditiOn-nOt too dusty
and not cut up. But one hill of magnitude
lies in the run. That is known as the

rest his feet for several miles
The party was not punched when it
reached San Jose, but it was pretty well
organized when lunch was announced.
The return trip was made in broken ranks
and several hours elapsed between the ar
rival of the first ana last member of the
party. 1t is almost needless to add that
no records were broken on the davis ride.

do weeks racing and make century

an off day and no organized run Will be
held.
Next Sunday, September 5. the Olympic
Bicycle Annex will run 10 San Jose and
return. A few Of the wheelmen of that

Go TO Alameda.
A SCENE AT GOLDEN GATE.

The Pacifcs very nearly won a game
of cricket yesterday. They played
against the CALIFORNIA;, and we're barely
defeated after very interesting game: in
fact, had they held together in the begin
ming IS they did toward the close of the
days play it is possible that they might
have won. Score: Paciics 1l2, Califor-
Mas 137.
The weather was grand. and both teams
arrived on the Alameda grounds in good
time. California went in first, with
GadeSden aud Arson. The former did not
stay very long, being unluckily run out
when he had made 8 but Anson and
Hearheld Got together and made things
Suitry for their eminent opponents. Run
after run was scored until Cookson, who
Il ad been bowling eXcellenlly, got rid Of
Anson for score OF 81, played in his
usual maSterly style. Perry made fair
stand with 10, but Heartfelt was not dis
missed until long after the luncheon in
terval. His 90 was fine example of free.
confident batting. The whole side made
137, and against this substantial total the
Pacincs knew they must strain every
nerve to prevent being placed at the bot
tom of the list.
But as frequently happens with this club
rot" set in from the beginning and
wickets fell fast. George TheObald. how
ever, came TO the rescue in great Stvle,
and when DelafeId joined him and kept
his own end up by dint of a truly "Stone-
wall defense the score gradually mounted.
Theobald's 40 was prettilv played, and
came most opportunely. His side would
have been badly off without him. When
he was dismissed the rest followed quickly.

as usual, as, although he took seven wick

Then the trouble began. The San Fran
ciscos went in and Robertson was
bowled without scoring. Warren made Is,
Dut Bowhill and Duggan were soon dis
missed. 1t was over this last wicket that
the row started. Duggan and Webster
were running and, being caught mapping,
started for the same wicket. Duggan got
there first, but too late to save himself,
and was run out. Then Slcman called
for the ball at the other end, and on thi !
account IL was objected that he had gone
outside the rules Ia resuming play when
the wicket was dead.
There was some dispute as to whether
Duggan or Webster was out, and i'll the
middle of the discussion Robertson came
into the field and peremptorily called his
men off. Webster objected and wanted To
resume, but Robertson was firm and with
drew his men. On this the umpres very
properly gave the match to the Alamedas.
