EPISODES OF THE GAME.

by scoring the only run for his side. In
the second inning, with two men out, he
GGaught the pail fairy on ms bat ana
lifted it over the right field fence for a
home run. 1t was no reflection on the
young man to be called in where he was +;
1t was merely owing to his unfamiliarity
with the ground and the high winds.
Leake, the colt shOrtstop for the Gar
deneTs, was afflicted with stage fright in
the early part Of the game, making TWO
costly errors in the third inning. After
liant fielding game, though he was un-
able to hit safely. He covers almost as
much territory as Schmeer, is a strong,
accurate thrOWer, good runner ana
handles himself in a most creditable man
ner Once he pulled down a fly away back
of third that ought to have gone to Dal-
rymple by rights.
Graham is another good man, and when
the members of the team become little
more familiar with each other they Will
make the leaders hustle.
O'COnnel was awful in his decisions
He seemed unable to see any ball that
either andrews or BOrchers put over the
plate unless the batter actually swung
his bludgeon, while some OF MS
decisions at the bases were fright
full. Once Hammond came from
second almost across the pitcher S
box TO the plate, leaving third
base far to the side, but the run was al
lowed. OConneu said he had forgotten
about the runner on second and was
watching the ball Another time Donovan
was on secondhand started to steal third.
Kent threw to O'Dea, who held the ball
and had Donovan easily. The Oaklander,
however, ran full speed into O'Dea,
knocking him down and sending the ball
out into the cid. Donovan kept on home
and O'ConneiI allowed the run, which ne
cessitated charging ODea with an error
in the score.
Again, in the eigth inning McGucken
singled. Leake smashed the ball to Mes
kman, who threw to Schmeer to head
Unhappy off. Schmeer got the ball,
but he was not near second base, and
without touching the bag at all threw to
first and Oakland was credited with a
double play.
1t was in Oaklands' half of that inning
that a riot almost broke loose. Donovan
was on first when Borchers snapped the
ball over and caught him off the bag.
chased up and down the line by Ander-
son and Hanlon. Donovan worked back
toward first, and just as Anderson threw
the ball the Oaklander made a dash at
Hanlon, throwing his forearm across his
face with such force that Hanlon was
half blinded for the instant, although he
managed TO hold the ball and put Dono-
van out Borchers, white with rage,
walked over to Donovan and would have
put him out Of business had Donovan not
discreetly dropped back Lange seized
TO the rescue, while the prune-pickerS
rallied TO Borchers' support in double
quick. For a time it looked like a general
miX-up, but OConnell finally managed to
restore order. Lange was hooted by the
crowd for arming himself with bat and
became involved in a dispute with an oc-
cupant of the grandstand, during which
some language never learned in Sunday
school was indulged in.
Oakland played an errorless game,
Schmeers work at short being the great
est exhibition even that star has given
yet. Moskiman kept the seven hits made
off his delivery well scattered, and had
Kelley's shot been anything less than a
homer San Jose would have been shut
out. Score:
