PARROT GETS THE CREDIT.
His Wheels Did Not Keep Him
From Batting.
PARROT GETS THE CREDIT
THE COLONIES BOWL THEM OUT.
Two Games Were Played Yesterday
and the Gate Receipts Were
Divided Evenly.

"We'll all have to walk downtown to-
getaer if we don't get this game" yelled
Duffy yesterday afternoon, as be stood on
the coacher's line back of first, and was
insisting that Dutch Long must make a
hit. Duffy had sized up the crowd on the
grand stand and concluded. that the cham
pions couldn't afford to let the Colonies
draw down half OF the gate receipts by
winning the second game. e.
But Longs fly was smothered by Tread
way. away out in left. and the hit he did
not make. coupled with long list of large
healthy swipes with which Oakland
touched up Mr.. Carsey. pulled Boston out
of rather bad second, and left the days
work at handicap baseball at a tie.
| The o1tpouring of the p0pulace to see
this two-rings-under-one- exhibition
wasn't all it might have BEEN. There we've
vacant seats in the grand stand. Bnt the
refrigerator which cut such a prominent
feature in Saturdays game was called off,
and a g0odly crowd of cranks sat and
yelled for three hours and a. half and saw
more hard hitting and errors made than
they ever got for their money before.
The first game fell to the champions by
a score of z to l. That it ended thus was
due TO the miserable base running of the
Colonies, added to five large-sZed errors,
the gift of Erwin, at second. Erwin evil
IDENTIFY thought that there was a chance
for the COlOnels to win this handica p
series extraordinary, and concluded that t
wouldn't be courteous to the visitors to
90 such thing, and he took the surest
way to see that it did not happen by
making 1t an impossbility. An instance
OF the base running done by Oakland was

were made, and nobody scored.
Tom PARROTS wheels did not get much
of chance to do any whirling in tine first
game. The OregOniaD cast anchor at
short, and aside from gathering in all of
the six chances that came his way, the
revolving was postponed until the next
game. But when he stepped into the
box the bicycles began to work, and they
made time from that out. But be had the
satisfaction of bowling over the bean
eaters, and saved wholesale defeat at
their hands.
In the first game they opened up with a
single. Long fouled out 10 Speer and then
contributed the first of a long series of
errors. Duffy batted to ParrOtt. who threw
to second for double, but Erwin dropped
the ball and both were safe. A base on
balls to McCarty filed the bases. and Beck
ley drove long fly 10 Hernon, but Hoy
scored on the throw in. Duffy was caught
at third moment later and retired the
side.
The Colonies got their only run in the
second. After Denny had been thrown out
first by Nash, Bill Brown batted out
double. Treadway got base on balls aud
Jack Horner surprised himself with a
double sending Brown home. but Homer
got away TO second and was caught on the
play. Erwin fouled out TO BeckIey.
Boston got another in their half on Da-
Wis two dagger and Nash's and Kittridge's
out at first.
Everybody went out one. two, three
until the fifth, when Boston scored two
more runs. After Nash flew 10 Hines, Kit
fridge batted to Erwin. who fumbled the
ball and then threw wild, and Kit landed
at second.
Nichols hit to Homer, but was safe on
Browns error. Hoy then gave Erwin a
chance for another error, which he made
by throwing wild to second and Kittridge
scored. Long singled, scoring Nichols.

In the sixth Beckley was hit by Parrott.

batted through Erwin. Davis came in a
little later. when Nichols had batted 10
