The morning call., 1893-05-22
AFTERNOON GATE.
The Score Was Tied Four Different
Times.

A questionable decision in the ninth IN
ming gave Oakland the afternoon game at
Haight-streeu grounds yesterday.
The game was so close all through and
the plays were so clear.cut and fine that
only something out of tie ordinary would
turn the scale in favor of'either side, any
way, and that unordinary something
proved to be decision.
Four times the score was tied and I'M
tied during the progress of the game.
Nobody played slippery baseball in that
game.
Stockton's error column shows up with
only two errors In it, and Laurence was
the author of both, though "Old Sol''
helped him to make them. he muffed two
flies in the left field. when the sun was
shining full In his eyes.
Tanning and Horner pitched the after
noon game, and Horner had a little the
best of 1t.
Homer sat in the grand stand during the
morning game. while Griffith pitched it
out, and a young man named Campbell
graced the bench along side of Mr.. Mob
lett, general manager.
The rumor got abroad, then. that Horner
had been released.
But il Mr.. Horner got released in the
morning, he was hired over again in the
afternoon, and the chances are that he
will hold the job as long as lie continues to
do the pitching he did throughout the
afternoon game.
Tanning complainedsof sore arm. He
says he went out hunting and took gun
along for reasons best known to himself.
The gun kicked and injured his arm.
Hereafter he will hunt with n bow and
arrow.
LkeNthe morning game. the first inning
resulted IN two runs each.
Stockton opened up with Mannasau out
at first by Cantillion. and Sweeney safe on
CalIopy's error. Whitehead hit a double
out and let Sw eeney in. Whitehead got
third and home on an error by Callopy of
thrown ball.
In the second half. after McGucken, who
is unhappy all the tim. now. had been
thrown out at first by Whitehead, Irwin
was hit by the pitcher and went to second
on Hines single coming after. Earle also
singled, which let in fines. Callopy flew
at first by Klopf.
One came in the third for Oakland, made
by Irwin. He started with single, Hines
double after Hines had been thrown out at
second.
Lawrence made one for Stockton in the
next by hitting a single. going to second
on an error of McGucken's and third on
Swetrs fly TO Hines. Then when Peoples
hit double out he came in.
Way along in the sixth Oakland secured
two more.
Calopy drove out long low fly that
would have made home run, perhaps.
but Mannasau streaked across the green
sward and gathered it in. 1t was fine
catch after long run.
Then Hernon singled and Cantillion hit q
fly TO Laurence that was muffed. Hernon
got second on 1t and came in on Cody's
double that sent Cantlllon to third. Cam
tillion scored on Hines strike and ont at
first by Sweeney. Stockton didn't take
kindly to that sort Of thing. The Duke
shifted uneasily from one side of the bench
TO the other and his hirelings resolved to
do something to quiet his nerves, so they
made three tallies.
How 1t came about was this: Sweet and
Peoples went out at first, to start with.
Tanning got first on Twins error. Man
nassau and Sweeney each followed with a
single. and Sweeney's single brought them
both in. because Hunky Hines let go OF it
before it lost momentum and didn't get 1t
again until too late.
BY getting one more in the eighth Stock
ton again tied the score. Klopf made that
run by single. and coming in on a hit by
Roberts that looked like home run, but
was only double.
Thus in the first of the ninth Stockton
didn't score and in the last half Oakland
did, winning the game.
Hines brought il the winning run. He
singled, got second on base on balls to
Earle and came in on Hernon's single.
There was only one man out, bur the
game was won and the inning wasn't
finished.
