The Champions Show Plainly How
They Can Play When the Notion
Strikes Them.

San Francisco has had an exhibition of
bunting" in baseball, and from the way
yesterdays game was received there were
rot many people there who will walk far
to see the same thing again, at least not
when one side does all the bunting.
1t was q great combination out at the
league grounds yesterday considering the
balls that the BeantOwn batterS dropped
in front of the plate and then trotted lels-
urely down TO first and the fog which
drlfted in across the park and necesstated
the use of foghorn to locate the players
on the outfeld. And then just TO add a
little variety TO the mixture RUDE Levy
was put in the box at the beginning OF the
fifth inning. and furnished no end Of
amusement to the sparsely populated
bleachers.
Reuben is likely to turn up almost any
place on the diamond in the future. Satur-
day he essayed to play first. and concluded
that there was no place like home after be
had tried to scoop in few low throws
and incidentally driven few of his fingers
into the green turf which surrounded the
initial bag, and he then gracefully retired
to leftfield.
But ain bition stirred in Reuben's breast
again Yesterday, and after four innings
with Jack Homer in the box, during which
the champions had made ten hits and
scored twelve runs, 1t dawned on the stout
fielder of the erstwhile Friscos that he was
the man even then to snatch victory from
the crests of the cultured athletes. and he
forthwith began operations with his south
arm, and he stirred up more enthusiasm
than anything that has happened since the
days Of handicap baseball.
But Boston saw at once that such blnt
no nat hn n lilo NJ d m xyprL
that the effect of such mascot must be
/ broken in some way. A happy thought
struck Dutch Long and he yelled at Hoy.
That silent individual was quietly vending
his way out toward deep centerfeld, and
he walked right along as If the champion
shortstop was talking to some one in the
captive balloon or trying to strike bar
gain for pass at one of the concessions
over on the Midway.
Nothing daunted. Long repeated the re-
mark addressed to Mr.. Hoy. who just then
turned around, probably having not noticed
before that he was the object of the disturb
aDce. Perhaps Hoy can't hear, but it did
not take him long 10 grasp the situation
and see that he was in dema and as a pitcher
TO relieve Carsey. But he declined. With
a heroism which Levy could not summon
Hoy turned his head away from tempta-
tion and at the same time waved the
tempters away from him. He wouldn't
pitch.
The crowd then yelled fer McCarty, and
he came bounding in from left and made
his debut by pitching an easy ball, which
had the unmlstakable trademark of Jos
Reilly stamped upon it, and he finished
out the game, putting in a Santa Rosa
curve now and then.
The Colonies have all signed now for
next season. and they are not particular
about what happens here in Frisco so
their play gets more ragged every day.
Yesterday they tailed TO whitewash the
Champions a single inning, while they
lost any number Of scores by poor base
running.
In the first Long hit for bag and at
any commandment against theft, and
scored on Griffiths' out at first But it
was in the second that the bunt did its
work. A total of six hits, one of them a
triple, managed TO send eight men across
the plate, and the B0stons hunted so many
times and tipped so many more over the
foul line that Horner was desperate, when
kittridge took pity on him and sent fly
cut to Levy, which Reuben at once sur
rounded, retiring the side.
The Colonies got in on earned runs in
the second on singles by Levy, Speer and
Cantillion, and Reilly brought in another
tally in the fourth when McCarty dropped
his fly, and by good luck Joshua made the
circuit. They added one mere In the
seventh. when Hines got life by forcing
Hernon at second, and Treadway followed
with double, scoring Hines.
Boston got one OF two every inning.
and the boy that kept the scoreboard was
about to send for more figures when the
champions let up, with II runs 10 their
credit, The score was as follows.
