THE HANDICAPPER's MISTAKE

The final game played by the Bostons
served to bring quite a crowd out to the
Haight-street grounds yesterday. and they
got all the satisfaction possible out of the
champions defeat, and the banner of the
National Leaguers goes back trailing in
the dust. Their scalps are tackled up out
in the clubhouse, and most important OF
ali things to the some time Colonies the
largest end OF the best days gate receipts
IN month belonged to the local players.
Captain Van Haltren took no chance on
that, either, for he made IA bee line for the
box-office before the last man was out aud
there made good his claim to the lions
share OF the spolls, and after dividing up
with his men they went in bunch TO Chi
natOwn 10 assist In celebrating the advent
of the Celestial year.
But Cafsey was in better luck than the
rest of the Boston aggregation, as be had
evidently celebrated new year on Satur-
day night, and from the look OF his face
that taste In his mouth must have been
something awful.
Carsey celebrated the opening of the
new skating rink and the ice few up and
hit him few times in manner which
seriously interfered with his lOcomOtlng,
and nothing could have induced him to

exert himself sufficiently to get it.
This was handicap game. too, by the
way, and the Handicapped must have seen
shower of stars through the back OF
his head, the same being superlnduced by
too sudden application of The CONCEALED
surface. At any rate he made the
egregious error OF handicappiDg the wrong
team and gave the Colonies five runs to
begin with. Boston struggled against that
advantage through nine innings, but their
hopes for The game faded away with the
balloon, which tney watched floating off
toward Marin County, and Captain Nash
shivered as he drew his sweater closer
about him and observed that skating in
midsummer vas very enervating and that
his men were going back to a climate
where such sports do not thrive.
But the crowd enjoyed il Just the same
and they found plenty of things that
would justify yell. How ever, McCarty
came in for the lions share of the
applause when he surrounded foul
away over by the bleachers behind third
base, after hard run, and when he came
in TO bat moment laIer he was compelled
to raise his cap, even at he risk of
encountering the icy breeze which swept
In across the park and pinched every
b0dv's nose and made their fingers tingle.
Van Haliren made his final bow by
occupying the box, and he gave the
Cham pions eleven hits. but they were
touched up Mr.. Carsey's skating-rink
arm for fifteen hits. and Hunky Hines
planted one OF them away over by the
rlRht-feld fence and went to third before
the ball could be returned to the diamond.
Boston got their first run in the be-
ginning OF the game, when Hoy smashed
out double aud went to third on the
throw in, while Long brought him home
with single. He got two more III the
third. after two men were out Long
hunted and got his base. and went TO
third on CallOpy's very wild throw,
while Grffith's double scored Long. Nc
Carly batted to Short. aud Callopy con-
tr1blted another error, allowing Griffith
to score.
The champions counted up two more in
the fourth and then captured a succession
OF goose eggs until the ninth inning, when
Long again got first on an error and scored
on Grffith's second two-bagger.
In the fourth the locals made Mr. Carsey
think seriously of reforming. Four hits
Melted five runs. and among them were a
double and triple. Reuben Levy came
up first and picked out the two-bagger
from among the collection and was fol-
lowed by Callopy's single, and then Sulli-
van popped up the fly that Carsey would
not catch. Hernon added another single
and Hines uncorked the three Dagger he
had been saving for the occasion and
Csrsey's cup of misery ran over. Hines
came home on Van Haltren's fly out to
Griffith.
The Colonies pulled in two more runs In
the seventh. but they DIDN'T need them, as
they were already so far ahead with the
handicap that Boston was lost in the hunt.
and without the starter of five runs the
Oaklanders won the game by run. The
score was as follows:
