Reliance 10, Nile s.
Freeman's Park, near Golden Gate sta
ton, was the scene of much baseball &C.
stasy yesterday afternoon, when the Re-
lance and Nile teams batted and ran
through nine innings of excellent dia-
mond sport. The crowd was there, and it
asserted itself at all times especially in
the eighth inning, when the Oaklanders put
in the finishing touches which made VIC
tory of defeat. Nile, in emblematic green,
then furled It's glowing colors and raised
the black flag, while the maroon and

section of society was there to ap-
plaud with gloved hands and stamp we'll
shod feet. DIR. Pardee and John A. Brit
ton performed heroic service as umpires,
and they are now many pounds lighter in
weight for their grilling work At one
time Cal Ewing. than whom there is no
greater exponent Of baseball in Oakland,
clashed swords with the umpires and en-
gagged in a heated mental battle with DR..
Pardee. The latter, with his dauntless
eye, finally subdued the former, and the
game went on. Ewing forgot to mucilage
his fingers before, the game began, with
the result that of the four chances he had
offered to him four glittering errors
glisten on the score card opposite his
name. John Mitchell emulated Ewing's
work and did as much for the Nile green.
in favor of the Nile club. William Ma
thaniel Friend, decked in the grotesque
habiliments of an Irish lad, gave a whoop
that set the benches wagging. His small
hat let the burning sun rays scorch his
head, and willie" was an Indian for two
minutes. But the Reliance team benefited
by the outburst. Three runs were made
in rapid succession, the last by Pratt on
a stolen base from third TO home. This
caused Ewing to show his sole leather
again and forced DIR. Pardee to assert his
authority by ordering the Nile kicker to
take his place on third, where he be-
longed. The score remained unchanged
after this inning.

Oakland Team Shut Out.

WATSONVILLE, July 29.-"Dad" Har-
per demonstrated to-day his right to
stand at the head of the baseball pitchers
of the State, Notwithstanding the fact
that he has been in harness longer than
any pitcher on the coast. For nine in
nings the Oakland Dudes attempted to
straighten out his curves and shoots, with
the result that ten of them hit only the
atmosphere. Not one of them was given
free pass to first and not a solitary hit
was made. Only one of the Dudes was
left on base. In the sixth Harper batted
the ball to deep center and made the
round of the bases in easy style, but was
called out for not touching the third bag.
The Sugar Beets plugged Steffani hard,
and their fielding was of the gilt edge
variety. Manager Morris knows how 10

gagged in fierce battle He left his team,
and picking up stick from the ground,

to his surprise, both of the birds attacked
him and clawed his person before he could
