SUPERB PLAY OF FRISC0S
The Stocktons by Their Snail-Like Movements Make the Game Very Uninteresting to
 the Spectators.

The San Franciscos unmercifully wal Ioped Manager Campbell's collection of nisfts at Recreation Park yesterday by the score of 10 to 8. The game, owing to the fact that MT. Whalen, who has been pitching such good ball of late was scheduled to do the twirling, was ex- pected to be a good one, yet developed into about the poorest exhibition of the national game that has taken place this season in the vicinity of Eighth and liar rison streets. It was one of those long, uninteresting affairs which start badly and end in the same manner. About the only redeeming feature noticeable was the excellent playing of the home team. They, as usual, presented a patched-up appearance, yet the change improved rather than demoralized them, MT. Collins particularly distinguishing himself by his clever all-around work, as did also MT. Sheenan. However, the team continues to show lack of management, ana no doubt will very shortly be patched up in that department, for rumor has 1t that MT. Coffroth is going to resign, which means that Bunker will take complete control. There is not the semblance of a doubt but that the club under one indi- vidual will gradually fight it's way to the top. especially when this gentleman is popular and liked by his players. Out side of Mir. Shea's twirling not a fault could be found in the whole makeup, and this gentleman cannot be expected to pitch good ball all the time. He did equally as well as his opponent during his brief stay, and no doubt would have i'm proved if permitted to continue. MT. Ham, mOnd's judgment, however, was perfectly correct when he retired MT. Shea for his successor, MT. Perine, who acted his part nObly. But one hit was made off him during the eight innings he labored, a record any pitcher should feel proud of. There was quite a contrast between his efforts and those of Mir. Whalens. S. The latter phenom was hammered all over the lot, and the support accorded him was vile. Really, hardy believe a team could do worse if it tried. They are also a lazy collection of players and move about just as they play. It took one hour and fifty minutes to finish the contest, and the loss of time was due principally to the snail-llke movements of those miSfts. Among them but one man seemed to en- certain the fact that life was not extinct
 yet he could hardly cover up the defects of the others. Certainly these boys will have to do better, as the game they put up yesterday would not draw a corporal guard. Whoever told MT. Starkey he could cover third base must have been dreaming. Such a tireSOme, miserable game as he put up has not been seen since . the Friscos had their parade, and it would be well for him to seek a position in the outfield. The story of how the game was won is told in a few words. The FriscoS hit MT. Whalen almost when they pleased, ran bases and made but two errors. The miSfitS acted as though every move hurt them, and played in the same unsatisfac- tory manner. Only one safe hit did they fact, coupled with their misplays, easily lost the game The score follows:
