The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1893-07-03

hard to down Oakland as though
they still had show for the pennant OF
the first season themselves. and they
worked like demons. almost, to get away
with the game, bnt Oakland had batting
streak on Yesterday and when eight Oak
land men m ade hits in one inning. two of
them doubles and one home run, 1t be-
came apparent that the job of downing
Oakland yesterday was more than they
could handle.
The batting of Oakland was what saved
the day. All of the long hits. and they
except the pair of dou bles made by Power
and the double by Carroll. Balsz was
pitching for the home team. His curves
were located by the heavy hitters OF the
other side with alarming frequency.
And about all of the other side proved to
be heavy hitters In that game. Every
mothers son of them is credited with at
least one hit, while Joe McGucken is down
for four and Joe Cantlllion for three,
home run among the lot.
In giving credit for the game Colonel
GelSchen's mascot must not be overlooked,
for his influence was doubtless felt all
through the game. 1t was just at the COM
mencement of the second inning that he
wandered into the ground through the gate
down back of the kindergarten.
The cool breeze from the ocean was FL
tering through his whskers and toying
with his iron-gray locks. With slow,
measured tread he crossed the open from
the gate to where Huge" Carroll had just
taken his stand in left field. The two
stood facing each other for moment. ap-
parently engaged in earnest conversation,
though the words were lost in the dis
lance. Then Mr.. Carroll attempted to
lead him away from the place, for he was
delaying the game, but he wouldn't lead.
Take that measy billy-goat off the
grounds" yelled Umpire Sweeney, and
the groundkeeper came and dragged away
Colonel Geischen's mascot by the two
horns OF him.
Bat right in the next inning Oakland
started in to hit the bali. and six earned
runs and three not earned resulted from
the hits and an error or two BY Buck
Ebright, who dislkes goats on general
principles.
Sweeney's decisions were not altogether
in touch with the ideas of the spectators;
but they could not be said to have been
any more favorable to one side than the
other, 80 no excuse for defeat or victory
lies in that direction.
Maguire's run in the first inning was
started on an error by1rwin, and making
second on Powers sacrifice and third on
Works, he scored on an error by Cody.
Oakland failec to score in the second
half, though McGucken. after base nit,
had worked over to third. He was thrown
out at the home plate BY the remarkable
work Of Mcguire. who returned Call0py's
single in time to intercept him.
That last of the second might be termed
a singular half-inning. There were singles
by Hernop, Cantillion, Cody and Griffith.
and another single by McGucken. By this
time Louie Balsz was on the verge Of
conniption fit, but Hunkey Hines struck
out and that saved him. He rallied still
further when Earle few to Hanley, but
had a relapse at Hernon' 8 double, followed
by home run operated by Joe Cautillion.
The ball from. Cantilli0n's bat passed
intentionally close to his thlnk-tank.
and as it streaked on out passed the field
ers and down the road way to the club
house he turned and silently watched its
flight. 1t got back to Mcguire just as Can
tillion crossed the plate. 1t was the ninth
run Of the inning and the second one for
Cantillion.
The burden of those nine runs rested
heavily upon the shoulders of Uncle
Henry's men. but they emerged from the
next engagement with two runs. made
with single hit. Mcguire got frs on an
error by Hernon after two meE were out.
Powers two-bag hit over to the sign
b ards on the right field fence brought in
the run. In the last Of this inning. while
trying 10 operate a double play. Blockers
lowed Irwin to reach second in safety.
Hines two-b Dagger brought IrwiD in with
a run. Then for. two innings no runs
came.
Earle singled In the last OF the sixth,
and on poor throw by Ebright past sec
ond reached that station 10 safety. Cal
lopy got first by an error and both run
ners were advanced by p sacrifice by
Hernon. Cantillion's single scored Earle
and Callopy. Cantillion was thrown out
at third by Work. but the decision at
the bag was so close that many In the
audience demurred at Il. Cody got second
on an error by Hahley. and single by
Griffith brought in the run.
Two long hits in the last Of the seventh
netted Oakland a run. the last one it got in
the game. McGucken opened with a
three-base hit, ami after two men had
gone out Callopy raped out a two-baggpr
down the left foul line and McGucken
scored.
