A CRIME AGAINST BASEBALL
DUDES TURN THE MORNING
MATCH INTO BURLESQUE.

After committing the crime of the CEN
tury upon the great national game at
Golden Gate yesterday morning, Ewing 5
aggregation of misfits journeyed across the
bay and for nine innings played real base
bau against the Lobsters. Then the bunch
became ratified at the thought Of attain
ing the dignity Of participating in an eX-
tra-inning contest, or may be the plaudits
of the multitude overwhelmed them, but
at any rate they got off the earth again
and Tutle's hatchetmen made it three
straight
During the coming week something is
going to happen over in Oakland. Ewing
says he has grown tired of paying salaries
TO u crowd that can't even play ring
around the rosy" He says that what
most of his men need is a pass to the
a,mshouse: the others could do business
II equipped with a bundle of lead pencils,
an appropriate sign and a station on some
street corner.
The morning game was simply awful.
Russell started in TO pitch, but when ne
wasn't giving bases on balls he was either
being hit all over the lot or the men be-
hind him We're stricken with palsy. In
the fourth inning Lange went into the box
and pitched the string out. He would
have proved fairly effective had he been
given any kind of support. Hammond
was out Of the game and Peoples had to
retire i'm the fifth inning. Moskiman going
To second. BalsZ pitched for the Lobsters
and was invincible.
But enough of that tragic affair. Fear
ful perhaps of the vengeance of the local
populace, the Misfits pulled themselves to-
sether in the afternoon, and although
Peoples was unable to play owing to i'll
ness. and Hammond had to perform at
second with a sore foot, the contest was
at all times interesting and occasionally
exciting. MOskiman was at his best, Don
lin being about the only man who could
touch him with any degree of safety. It
was not until after the game had been
lost in the tenth through stupidity on
the part Of Mcclure that there was any
punching of hits by Santa Cruz.
DOnlin made his final appearance, for
this season at least in the box here and
in two innings his opponents seemed to
lave him going, but ne quickly pulled
himself together each time. In the. first
three innings only two men reached first
but in the fourth Oakland did something
Hammond opened with a single and Dun
leavy flew TO Streib. Donovan got another
safe shot, sending Hammond to third.
Jack stole second and Lange went out on
a fly to left field. Shea followed with
single to center, which got past brennan
and two runs resulted Mcguire retiring
the side with another fly TO Streib.
Santa Cruz got one IN the sixth, Donlin
opening with a double and scoring on an
error by Mcguire. The score was tied
brennan led off with a single and scored
on a double by Kleiber, which Sausage
is not credited with. however, for in his
haste to make bases he failed to touch
first and was properly called out.
Oakland united the knot in its half
when Hardie developed a wonderful burst
of speed on the paths. He got a single,
sprinted around to third on Moskiman' s
single and scored on Schmeer's hit. Lou
has caught his second wind and bids fair
TO develop into a footracer though some
people are unklnd enough to say that his
sprinting abilities have been developed by
chasing dOughnuts since the clans have
taken to deep water.
Santa Cruz evened up matters again in
the eighth, Donlin being given a base on
balls, stealing second and scoring on
PAGES double
When the ninth went by without a run
il began TO look exceedingly Interesting
but the LObsters soon tore the heart out
OF the game. Williams plucked a single
and DOnlin bunted safe. Devereaux
sacrificed them TO third and second. Pace
sent a long fly to Hardie who made
beautiful throw in and would have
pinched Williams at the plate only Nc
fore he could turn around and throw to
Dunleavy the runner had crossed the
rubber. Dunleavy claimed Williams did
not touch the plate, and walked over to
the bench with the ball to touch him out.
allowing Donlin to sneak home Dun
leaVy's bluff did not work and both runs
scored. Doubles by Clark and Streib gave
the visitors another run, which they did
not need, for Oakland could do nothing in
its half The scores:
