The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1893-05-13
What sort of a nemesis is it that is SO

What sort OF a nemesis is it that is so
unrelentingly pursuing Henry Harris
through life, and VIII it drive him into an
early grave? are questions that people
who attend ball games around here
are now asking themselves.
Surely some mystic power, some dark,
deep undetermined, designing element OF
destruction is camping upon his trail.
Yesterday lie took his little band of
sphere-manipulators over TO Piedmont in
closure, back of Oakland, and there on the
chalk-stricken field where SO many blood
less battles have been fought and won in
the days that are past, he met with a
defeat that would drive less sanguine
man into seven different kinds of insanity.
Score. Is TO /.
MI Harris aggregation played just as
hard all the afternoon as though there was
some prospect Of winning the game, but
myl they might as well have tried to bail
Outthe ocean as to try to win that ball game.
Not only did the Colonel's hired hands
play the game that people pay their money
10 see played, but they batted like fiends.
Call0pe Callopy and Hunkiness Hines
pushed the ball over the fence for home
run each, and Mr.. Earle would also have
had a home run instead OF three Dagger
If he had placed his foot upon the rubber
as he sailed in over the home station. AS
il was lie was called cut for not locating
the plate after having swatted the ball
plenty far enough for home run.
Mr.. EbTight enjoyed the proud dlStlnc-
ton Of having made the only swipe for
Uncle above the one-bag ieYels 1t was
onlv one notch above.
Uncle had transposed his men again for
yesterdays game Ebrlght was up behind
the bat. That's position he used TO play
in the halcyon days long gone by. He first
decided he could play the position better
without cap and later he discarded tile
wind package also. and thus sans cap, sans
package Of wind, he struggled on through
all the stages of the game never once
varying the mOnOtony with good play.
OF course he must not be blamed for this :;
he was out Of his element with high fouls
dropping around him ike hailstones big
as quail eggs and he knowing not where
to turn.
Carroll went back into his own right
pasture Cantillion operated at second
and Sharp undertook 10 do the short
stopping.
Nj. Reagan figured conspicuously
throughout the game yesterday and was
the recipient of a great amount of cenSure
by the Oakland r9oters. Censure by an
Oakland rOOter usually takes the form Of
jeers, boots and Kisses and occasionally
muttered swear words are Sandwiched in.
Tip O'Nenl tried to get off that fancy
play which MI Ebright introduced for
the first time in California on Thursday.
Il is calculated to be 4 triple play. or a t
least a double, but Tip LOST the com5iua-
tiOn somewhere and didn't even get one
man out. On the other hand, by dropping
the fly ball, ne allowed the batter TO reach
first
But the distinguishing features of the
game, aside from the home runs and the
dangers that seemed to threaten the
umpire on every hand, were the plays
that might have been made, but were not.
@eVpTal times fhe a hand for
san Francisco to get in and twist, but
these times, ike idle moments, went IN
needed by.
Oakland opened the ball with four
talles. After Sharp had captured Nc
Gucken's fly. Irwin and Hines both
singled and Earle got first on an error by
Josh Riley. Then Callopy singled, and
two OF the -gallopers scored. A wild
pitch aud passed bali came into the play
and let in one mole, and the fourth came
in on O'Neill's fly to Carroll. Hernon also
few 10 "Llrge."
Passing over the second, which was
uneventful, we find the boy at the board
placing two more in 0akland's row in the
third inning, Irwin and Hines both made
two-bag swlpes. Earie's long hit that
should have been home run came right
along after. 0'Neill and Hernon both
singled later on, butdied on The bases.
Another uneventful inning followed.
Then Oakland made one more in the fifth.

In the sixth Oakland opened out 2 pack
age Of three. There was only one hit, that
hit was a hit. 1t was owned. controlled
and operated by Hunkey Hines and was
In the nature of a home run. Two men
were on the bases when it happened.
That was the same inning when San
Francisco made that one little lonesome
tally.
Ruben Levy brought it around. He got
first on CallOpy's error, second Cd a hit by
Carroll and sailed into port on Ebright's
twO-baggitty swipe
The Oaklands, with a basketful of runs
already gathered, went into the eighth and
placed three more onto the file.
San Francisco never scored again. OF
even came. within six rows Of apple trees
of II.
To-day's game will be at HaIght-street
grounds commencing at 3 o'clock. Balsz
and Griffiths will pitch.
The outrageous affair of yesterday may
be studied in detail from the following
score:
