HE COLONIES LOSE AGAIN.
Men From Boston Do Not Mind a
Little Rain.
1T MADE THE oAKLANDs WILT.
The Champions Easily Win the
Deciding Game and the Famous
Series Is Now at an End.

Handicap baseball is no more. The
Bostons had already won the series, but
Just to clinch the victory and play off the
tie games of last Sunday the Champions
tOyed with the COlonels for a while yesteE-
day and revenged themselves for the last
three games, all of which had been won
by Oakland.
But the All-California aggregation has
lost Is luck-Parrott and bis wheels have
disappeared. The prospect of having to
join the dolar-a-day contingent out in the
park stared the Oregonian in the face, as
the Colonies persisted in always getting
the short end of the gate receipts when
there was any crowd present. so Tom
packed up his wheels and departed.
But the ColOnelS are not yet out of
pitchers by any means. After springing
Josh Reilly on the public on Saturday
Van Haltren got back into the box in yes
terday's game and seemed 10 take TO the
work az naturally as he did four or five
years ago when he was a regular player in
the California teams, and before he was
discovered" by Pop Arson and became
known TO fame IN the National League.
Ii is just week now since two or three
of the Boston playeTs-nOtably Jake
Beckley-made their good resolutions and
week is a long time TO have kept them.
The air of sOlemnity which pervaded the
New Years game has not been forgotten.
but they broke over yesterday and were
even more noisy than ever. Beckley was
wonderfully 'cheered up" at first and,
though Duffy was not in the game, not
having returned from San Diego, Dutch
Long and kittrldge on the cOacher's line
went long way toward making up for
his absence.
Probably nearly 1000 people went ont to
see the game, and before ball had been
pitched wished they were down town
again, for the rain began to come down at
q RAJ that promised to end the game very
quickly. But it soon cleared again, and
then the Champions went to work and won
the game in the first two innings SO that if
the storm should resume operations the
result would be satisfactory to themselves.
But 1t wasn't speedy game by any
means. A total of eleven errors, of which
eight were charged to the COl0nels, was
evidence OF some rather loose playing, and
out of the eighteen runs scored only five
were earned; although. DO doubt, a wet
ball was responsible for some of the
breaks.
Hernon started out with single in the
first, and Hunky Hines picked out an easy
one and pasted it for two bags, while Her.
non scored on Nash's error at third. Van
Haltren flew to Hoy, and then Denny
batted to Long, who put Hines out at
third. Bill Brown retired the side by a
fly to McCarty.
For the Champions Hoy hit to Hines
and went out al first. Long singled and
stole second and third, while McCarty was
given a base on balls. Beckley hit fer a
base, scoring Long. and Davis got in front
OF pitched ball, filling the bases. Nash
went out on tlY. and Kittridge batted an
easy one TO Irwin, but he fumbled it, and
McCarty scored. Nichols went out on a
fly TO Denny.
In the Colonels' half of the second they
got four singles off CarSey in addition to
Homer being hit by pitched ball, but it
Melted them only two runs. Treadway
flew to Nichols, but Irwin and Speer each
singled and HOrner was hit, filling the
bases. Kittridge threw to second to catch
Speer, and Irwin came in, followed a mo-
ment later by Speer, who scored on Her
mons single. Hines lined out a corking
single to center. but the three men on the
bases were left there when Van Haltrep
and Denny each batted flies 10 Hoy,
In their half Boston got four men aeros IS
the plate on a base on balls, Longs
double, singles by Beckley and Davis, and
Hines wild throw to first in fielding
NaShs hit. Nash got clear around to
third before the ball was back to the dia-
mond, but he stayed there, as Nichols
struck out.
They got another in the third, and two
more in the fourth, both of which were
earned, on a single by Davis, Nichols
two-bagger and Carsey's long fly to right
The Colonels got run in each of the
fourth and the sixth innings, and in the
ninth Brown was the first man to bat and
Knocked out home run to the left field
fence, but this gave them a total of only
Six TALES. while the Champions counted
up twice as many. and thus settled the
handicap series. The Monday games have
been discontinued, and there will be no
game again until Saturday. Yesterdays
score was as follows:
