CORKERS AGAIN VICTORIOUS.
HAD A CLOSE RUB WITH THE
COLUMBIAS.
The San Franciscans Are Strong
Kickers and Very Good
Players.

FRANCISCO arrived mere yeSteiuAs
morning and proudly announced that
they were gentlemen-gentlemanly pan
players-and that they knew none OF
the mean tricks in the baseball trace.
But at the ball grounds at Oak ParK
they began to kick the moment they
entered, and never quit it untn the
game was over.
Their chief kick was over an umpire,
and they played the baby act, refuS-
ing to play until an umpire whom tney
had brought from San Francisco was
allowed to officiate. Finally, after
delay of twenty minutes, comprom-
iSe was effected and the game COM
menced with the imported man, Lew
is, and Jack Stafford of this city, as
umpires. The large crowd present had
become impatient at the delay, and all
during the game they made lie very
miserable for Lewis. All or his de-
csions, both good and bad, were Jeered
at, and many choice compliments were
presented to him. In justice to Lew
is, it must be said that most OF his
decisions We're good, but those that
were wrong were very raw" The
crowd repeatedly questioned his decis-
gether Mr.. Lewis spent a very pleasant
afternoon.
Jack Stafford did his share of the
work in his usual perfect manner, and
was quite a contrast to his colleague.
The game was close and exciting and
was resplendent with many fine plays
and heavy batting. AT the end OF the
ninth inning the score was tie, but
the Corkers won out in the eleventh
inning by score of 15 to IA. Halsey
Smith, at shortstop, played grand
game and twice ran away back into
left field and caught fly balls. Red
Devine, at third, also played fine
game, and made great running catch
of a foul fly ball. Harmon, in right
field, made a neat catch of fly ball,
and by a beautiful throw to first base
made a neat double play.
George Newbert played a good game
and created much amusement in the
ninth inning when he endeavored to
enforce his opinions. George got exas-
perated and tried to push big six-foot
player off the diamond Newbert Is
but a midget and reminded the specta-
tors of a bantam rooster tackling a
big brahma.
The Corkers ran bases at will, and
really outplayed their opponents at all
points. Dyer, catcher for the Colum-
bias, is good one, but was suffering
from sore arm and could not throw
little bit, and was responsible for
great many runs. Goslinsky is a good
pitcher, but a much better kicker.
The Corkers jumped on him for sew
enteen hits, and he struck out eleven
Of them.
Gallagher pitched a steady game for
Aine innings, and gave way to Hal
sey Smith. who pitched the last two in
nings. But one hit was made off Hal
sey in the two innings that he pitched,
and he struck out two batters.
