PULLED THEM DOWN A PEG.
OAKLANDERS WIPE THE DIA-
MoND WITH THE gifts.
The College Town Outfit Did as
They Pleased With the
Leaders.

was neither great, good, nor toleraple,
at least SO far as the home tribe was
concerned. 1t was one of the KIND
which would not have passed IN
crowd, however well kicked on and
was far below the standard.
Among the locals, ginger was minus
quantity. Their concerted movements
was a bad representation of pipe
dream. Most of them went into
trance, occult or otherwise, at the be-
ginning of the trouble and did not
emerge until it was all over. They
were an apathetic, listless crew, which
the exceptionally clever work of
Tommy Sheehan at third, could not
brace up.
The Oaklanders, who were in the
game most of the time, were never in
danger. They took a good lead in the
first inning and then played Charley
Horse with Kripp's aggregation of
wooden Indians. They touched up
Charlie Doyle for fourteen good hard
hits, and had smiles and encourage
ment to spare for the Gflts. Chief"
Borchers, while bit wild at times, set
tied down at critical times and played
the game, but he had his field behind
him. His outfield was corker. Dad
Donovan was the kingpin Of the lot
and took every one of his numerous
chances, while young Mr.. Moskiman in
left, gave an exhibition of rounding
up rough grounders seldom equaled and
never excelled.
Egan's work in the field was fairly
clever, but he was an easy game for
Borchers. O'Connor gave an exhibi-
tion at first which made the crowd
stare. He was playing ten feet away
from his base when Dunlevy started
a hot grounder in his direction. Stulz,
at second was out of the question, but
OConnor, instead of going for the
ball, went for the bag. The ball rolled
out past Harvey to the far corner of
the lot, and Dunlevy chased all the way
around, shooing in Pop" Hardie. Some
people would like to know why Big
Mike was playing ten feet from his base
II not to field balls in that vicinity.
The game in detail was played as
follows:
+ Mclaughlin, who was first up, shot
a hot one down to Lange and expired
at Hutchinson's corner, and Harvey
laShed. out safe one over second base
for bag. O'Connor swiped the atmos-
phere thrice and little Hammond shot
Harvey out because he tried to pur-
loin the second bag.
Hutchinson, who formerly plaved
with the Gilts, was first up for the
Dudes" and lashed a safe one out
to center field and landed on O'Con-
nors corner with honors. Hammond
poked another safe one to center field,
and Hardie was. hit and the bases were
fuL. Donovan shot one to Eagan and
was out at first, but Hutchinson
crossed the plate with the first run of
the game. Dunleavy hit safe along
1lrst for a bag and Hammond scored,
Fop" Hardie on third. Lange dashed
out a safe one into right field and
Hardie scored, Dunleavy on third. Har
Vey, who f1elded the ball, held it. and
Dunleavy started home. Harvey made
a great throw in but was wide of the
plate and Dunleavy was safe hut
Stanley threw Lange out at second
Schmeer ended the horror by flying out
to Mclaughlin.
In the second inning Eagan sue
cumbed to Borchers' shoots but the
Chlef was kind to Stanley and gave
MN Tree transportation to the initial. |
Borchers scalped Doyle with three balls
10 spare, but 80. H" Shanahan
changed matters by cracking "a. safe
one 10 right field for a bag, Stanley
on second. Borchers scaIped Stulz. and
MS string was fattened by three strike
outs in one inning.

In the Gifts half of the fourth. Bor- |
chers hit Stanley in the short ribs for
a base, and Doyle raped out a safe
one to left field for a bag. Shana- |
