TIED THE SCORE.
A Fast Ball Game at the
League Grounds.
ELEVEN INNINGS PLAYED.
Heavy Batting and a Neck-and-NeCk
Finish Made the Days Play
Unusually Exciting.

1t took eleven innings of fast play yes
terday afternoon to decide whether the
baseball gentlemen from across the bay
knew more about the game than the
locals. The result was decision in favor
of the Oaklands on a score of II to 10.
The justly celebrated southpaw pitcher,
P. Knel, performed for the Friscos. but
did not seem to catch his stride until the
game was over and the other fellows had
been credited with q collection of fourteen
swats, distributed in various parts of the
outfield. This had a depressing effect on
the felders, but won considerable applause
from the spectators. Mr.. Deveraux, who
has maue quite reputation for himself
since the pitchers box was moved back
toward the center of the diamond, was
also little timid about striking out any
of his opponents. This modesty very
nearly cost the visitors the game at vari-
Gus critical moments, out as the final
result was favorable it would be unkind to
dwell at any length on this point.
George Van Haltren played short for the
visitors iD Pittsburg uniform and large
NIT, aud his appearance was hailed with
delight by the fans who have watched his
work in the National League. His brother
Charles, who has spent several years in
trying TO learn the game and to keep his
feet from getting tangled up at critical
moments, was relegated to the obscurity
of right field. where he amused himself
chasing long drives and wondering if liis
brothers reputation would enable him to
masquerade as ball-player much longer.
With George at short and Denny at third
the infeld was pretty we'll protected.
Throughout the game the score stood SO
nearly even that excitement was kept az
the top notch.
The home team was the first to 20 to
bat, and Went out in one, two, three order.
Cantillion bit safe and was followed by
George Van Haltren, who bunted an easy
one to Knell, and he distinguis he'd himself
by falling down and afterward throwing
wild to Power, allowing Cantilion to
score and Van Haltren to reach third.
Denny and Hines flew out and Van Hal
tren came home. Hernon retired the side
by knocking pop-up fly to O'Day.
In the second Power lined out one to
deep center ana made the circuit of the
bases before it could be returned. Shana-
han was thrown out at first. SWEET hit
