The San Francisco call., 1899-04-10


been pitched before Hammond was caught
with a foul tip between the thumb and
forefnger Of his right hand, splitting that
member down to the center Of the palm.
He was sent to the Receiving Hospital
and Dunleavy called in from center field,
Shea, the change pitcher who was play
ing on the bench, going into the field. San
Jose was retired without run and Oak
land went to bat.
Dunleavy led off with q beautiful three
cushion shot. but had to slide into the bag
TO beat the ball. He went in feet first
and caught his foot in the Strap, giving
his ankle a terrible wrench. He was as
sisted 10 the clubhouse and into his street
clothes. and as soon as his shoe was re-
moved his ankle swelled to the size of his
calf.
Game had to be called until Manager
Ewing could find somebody TO fill out the
team. Finally Ford who caught last
season for the Athletics. was drafted
and while he was. getting into uniform,
Clam Juice Lou endeaVOred to adjust
himself to mask, as it was the intention
70 have him go behind the bat Hardie's
head became so enlarged at the thought
OF getting back into his old-time posi-
ton that he broke the straps TO both of
the faCe-prOtectors and there being no
birdcages in the neighbOrhOOd for him
TO use as a substitute, he was, perforce,
compelled to continue in the right
meadow, while Ford did the receiving.
This closed Oakland S chapter of ac-
cidents with the exception Of Murphy,
who forgot his working shoes and was
obliged 10 play in his street footgear,
which destroyed his lack of confidence in
himself when he attempted to move
about. But the team had lost heart, and
that meant the game. Lange made two
costly errors. one Of which, combined
with a bungle by Lee Hammond, re-
suited in six runs in the fourth inning.
Kleiber made some embalmed-beef
plays for San Jose. but Fatty will always
make errors, for ne never shirks any
thing that comes anywhere near him.
The triple that Dunleavy tore off in the
first netted run for Oakland which was
balanced in the second by San Jose,
Eagan getting d single and completing
the circuit on Moskiman's throw into the
field to head off Andrews at first They
got another in the third, two singles and
a long fly to Hardie letting Foley get
around
the game. Kleiber. the first man up, was
safe on Hammond's tumble. Eagan was
given pass and Andrews hit to Mos
Mman, who threw to Lange to head off
Kleber. The ball struck Fred's hands
fairly and bounded out, Kleiber scoring
and Andrews reaching first, when
double play was in order, which would
o have retired the side. Andrews tried to
steal second. but was thrown out by
Ford, who duplicated the performance
twice afterward. TO the intense disgust
of the blond twirler. Then came the
bombardmept on Moskiman. Kent, Nc
Quicken, Foley, Anderson and Hanlon
followed with singles, which with Dal-
rymples long fly to Hardie scored five
more talies, a total of six for the inning.
San Jose finished its run-getting in the
fifth scoring one run, although the first
four men up made nice safe shots. Eagan
led off with a single, stole second and
scored on Andrews drive. The pitcher
made another futile attempt to steal sec
ond. when If he had waited he could have
gone the rounds on X ents and McGucken's S
safe shots. AS 1t was, both of those men
We're left on bases
Oakland tailed again in that inning,
Murphy getting around on errors by
Kleiber and Andrews and a single by
Hammond. Hits by Murphy, Lange and
Hammond gave them one more run in the
ninth, but II was OF no Importance as far
as the outcome was effected.
Ford has been signed 10 do the catching
for Oakland until w. Hammond gets back
into the game, and he may be retained
permanently, for Borland who was signed
because Of his batting powers, is not hit
ting at all this season. Manager Ewing
will also replace Murphy at first as soon
as he can find a good baseman. Murphy
is n fine player and hard hitter, but he
is unable to get away from his business
TO play during the week. and the team is
badly handicapped thereby.
The team is in a bad way just now, for
Donovan. who was compelled to retire
from Saturdays game, will not be in
shape again for two or three weeks. and
with w Hammond and Dunleavy laid UP
II takes three of the best run-getters out
OF the game. The score:
