IN TEN INNINGS.
Uncle Wins a TumuItuOus
Game of Ball
AMID Widest ENTHUSIASM.
A Scene of Confusion Follows a Close
Decision When the Winning
Tally Came.

There were troublesome times out at the
Haight-street ball grounds yesterday after
noon. Some startling things came TO pass
along with ten-inning game and a twice
tied score. Once in the tenth inning the
game was declared forfeited to San Fran
cisco by to because for the space of one
GREATNESS minute Captain Earle sat cross
legged on Oakland settee and refused to
allow his team to play ball. This unhappy
state of affairs had been brought about by
a very close decision of the umpire involv-
ing a run, and the decision was in favor of
the home talent.
Several of the players engaged in IN.
. seenIiv wrangles lin front of the grand
stand and had 10 be yanked apart by
Others, while pandemonium reigned for
brief time. Playing was eventually re-
sumed. and San Francisco won out the
game-9 to 3.
1t is understood that after the game
President Wieland discharged Umpire Don
ahue, and that Charley Sweeney will re-
port in his place after the 4th of July.
The truth of this could not be definitely
learned last night. however. Such an ac-
tion on the part of MIR. Wieland would be
generally resented by nearly every pat
ron of the games as Donahue has been
very popular umpire and considered fair
by all parties.
Great. booming guns! but there were
buckettuls of excitement in these two last
innings. Every move, every word, every
sound, even, that came from any portion
OF the field was enough to call out up
TOariouS applause from the spectators.
This was the first ten-inning game of the
season; it had been closely and maguifi-
Gently played from the start and Just at
this time, when game one way or the
other may decide the championship of the
first series, games are games. while runs
are still considered handy things to have
on hand. and even base hits are not to be
trifed with or overlooked in the show
down.
Well, of course. it was tie at the end
of the sixth inning. BY the procuring of
run in the second San Francisco had tied
the game up for the first time. Then after
Oakland had united it in the fifth with two
more runs, the home team tied it again in
the eighth with two.
Before going into the details of that
eventful tenth inning it might not be out
of place TO say few words about the
features and incidents of the proceed ngs
thus far.
J. Peck Sharp is kept at home with
sore throat which would, of course, pro-
hibit him from saying anything funny and
thus renders him useless in the game.
Reuben Levy was absent owing TO the
death of his father. So Carroll. with his
mlsht face, was up at second again. George

was trapping flies in right. Homer and
MeVicker passed up the balls. Things
were about even between the two p tch-
ers. 1t was not pitchers battle. though.
Mcguire and Power. who came first and
second at the bat for San Francisco, each
tore off triple in the first inning Then
followed singles by Work and Ebrght,
and two runs resulted.
Oakland's three runs came on triple by
Hunky Hines just the right time. Irwin
and McGucken were on the lines when it
happened. Callopy out at first by Ma
guire scored Hines.
A base on balls to G. Sharp, boost to
second on McVicker's single. third on
Maguire'S sacrifice, and over the plate on
Powers fyOut to Hernon made the run
for the home team that tied the score fur
Their.
Perhaps those two for Oakland in the
fifth would never have come if Hernon
hadn't planted himself out al the coach
line near first and given vociferous utter
ance to such expressions as II knowed it."
L En0wed she was bound 10 come" "Git
a-goin' there Hunky, up on yer toes, OF
oOy," and pleasantries like that calculated
from the vigor and persistency of them to
make the opposing pitcher wish that he
were many times dead.
The first of the tenth opened auspi-
cIousiy. Spies hit for two stations and
BajsZ followed him with a single. Spies
w as put out at the home plate with a swift
throw from Irwin to Cody. Cheers came
loud and long. When Balsz came up the
line from third Irwin had the ball again.
BalsZ and the ball were neck and neck on
the stretch TIE umpire declared Balsz
the winner and Earle escorted him self to a
seat on the bench. He was the very per-
sonifcation of wrath, if you might talk
that way about man.
One minute by the watch passed by and
the umpire gave the game, very properly.

Francisco won it by four TALES, and that's
, all.
