BIG BILL BROWNS BATTING.
BUT NOT WITHOUT A TUssLE

For the past few days the members of
the Oakland Baseball Club have tipped
themselves as sure winners when next
they crossed bats with the Bostons. Now
they wish they had not been so soon.
They met the inyincible bean-eaters yes
terday afternoon and now there is much
sorrowing in the camp of the Colonies.
The score at the end of the game stood 8 to
6 in favor Of the other fellows.
1t was all done in the last inning. The
Colonies had collected total of five runs
in the first three innings, but could not get
any more, because-well. because they
couldn't. By close playing the Fasteners
succeeded in tying this score in the sew
enth, and in the last half OF the ninth they
got in their fine work. Duffy made safe
hit, and the coachers filled the air with
such continued howl that Mr.. Tom Par
rott's Ferris wheel began to revolve, and
it was all over. he pitched a few nice
straight balls over the plate for the Boston
boys TO daily with. These. with an error
by Cantillion which sported full beard,
allowed Duffy to deposit the winning tally
on the plate before any one was out.
The attendance was exceedingly good
for Saturday game, and every one seemed
to be satisfied with the result. The pres
ence of big Bill Brown at first base for the
Oaklands has materially strengthened the
team, and if the second cushion was COW
cred iu as mastery manner the lnteld
would leave nothing 10 be desired. Par
rott's pitching up to the seventh inning
was of the highest order, only four scat
tering hits being made off his delivery.
But when the Boston cOachers began TO
"jolly" him he went to pieces and was at
the mercy of the heavy batters from the
far East. His sky-rocket catches and
rapid fielding were features of the game.
Our Bilt' Brown is as popular with the
fans as ever and if he pays his board with
bis pro rata of the Colonels' gate receipts
he will probab bly, get rid of thirty or forty
pounds OF surplus flesh before long. Bill
dalled with the flesh pots of the National
League so long that he now finds it difficult
to tie his own shoes. His batting is also in
need of repair. When a man of Bill's size
tries to knock a ball over center-held fence
and only succeeds in tearing Jagged hole
in thin air the wear and tear on his we'll
rounded physique must be something
awful. He did this several times yester-
day and each time as he recovered his
equilibrium he would greet the pitcher
with a warmed-over smile which had a
world of pathos in 1t.
Neither side got run in the first Inning,
but Oakland started the fun in the second,
i
was returned to Kittridge, who threw wild
to second and Parrott scored. Cantillion
reached first on an error, Denny flew out
TO Duffy and Hines fouled out to Nash.
Speer was safe on wild throw by CarSey
and was advanced TO second by Horner,
being hit by pitched ball. With the
bases full Hernon made a safe hit, Can
tilion scored and Speer was caught at the
plate, retiring the side. Beckley was out
at first and Davis and Nash each few ont
to Horner.
In the third Van Haltren was thrown
out at first. Brown cut out hot one be-
tween third and short, which was stopped
by Long, but not In time 20 cut off the
runner. Parrott died at first and Cantil-
lion got his base on balls. Denny hit a
hot one to Long, who let it go through his
hands, and while Hoy was chasing it down
toward the back Of the lot Brown, Caniil-
lion and Derny chased each other across
the plate. Hines few out. For the Bos-
tons Kittridge and Carsey were out at
first and Hoy was given a base on balls
and stole second. Long tore off two
Dagger and Hoy scored. Duffy fouled out
to Speer and retired the side.
Speer hit to Long in the fourth and was
thrown out at first. Horner put one down
into Nash's territory and died at first.
Hernon flew out to Becklev. Mccarthy. for
the Champions, hit groundeT, which
bounded about SIX feet over Parr0tt
head, but that aerobatic twirler Embossed
his springs and yanked the ball down out
of the reluctant atmosphere in time to
catch the runner at first and receive the
plaudits of the wondering populace.
Beckley flew out TO Horner. Davis hit
safe and took another because nobody
backed up second base. Nash flew out to
Brown.
In the fifth Van Haltren fouled out to
KittrIdge. Brown hit safe, and was out
on a double play made on PARROTS hit to
Carsey. Kittridge hit an easy one to
Horner, who fun led it. and then threw
wild to first, allowing the runner to reach
second. Carsey fouled out and Hoy died
at first. Long hit to Denny, who made a
wild throw, which allowed Kittridge TO
score and Long to reach second. Duffy
few out to Hines.
In the next the Colonies failed to score,
but the Bostops added two tallies to their
credit by Beckley being given a base OH
balls and Nash's home.
The visitors got another in the seventh
on a safe hit each by Mccarthy. Beckley
and Davis. In the last the Bostons sent
Duffy to bat and be lined out single.
Mccarthy was safe on Van HaltreE's error,
and Duffy scored while Cantilion was
holding ball Beckley had sent his way
Following is the score:
