 Made Nine Runs

Well, it is a very different story this morning. The Athletics turned the tables yesterday afternoon and made rabbits out of every last one of the Barons. They chased Molesworth and his men all over the lot at West End and throughout the game made practice of rapping the sphere into places where there was no Baron, in consequence of which the locals got lots of good exercise. The Athletics fed the Barons on a light diet of goose eggs and gave them a whole lot of action with the evident intention of seeing how long they would last if properly attended. The score was 9 to 0, and it wasn't q forfeited contest either.
 The Barons never had a chance. Sew eral times they got man as far as third base, but Manager Macks pitchers had no fear and in each instance they settled down and the fond hopes of the fans were crushed to the dust The locals simply could not hit. and thereby hangs the story of their defeat. On the other hand, the Athletics never knew when to let up in their splendid work with the timber. They piled up total of 14 hits against
  majority of them were of the healthy run-getting kind.
 Marcan, Molesworth and Mcbride were the only Barons who were able to con meet, and they bingled safely only once each. These three hits were clean, how ever, all being well placed to uncovered spots in the outfield.
 The three- -bagger by Molesworth in the eighth inning was the distinct feature of the game, and it was here that the locals lost their best chance to score and save a. shut-out Moley led off in the eighth. He placed a terrific drive to deep right field and Walsh did not get his hands on the ball until it had rolled to the fence. When Molesworth stopped he had circled the diamond three-quarters of the way. It looked as if the Barons might score here but Gygli went out from third to first McGivray hit an easy fly to left field and Moley couldn't get in on tbe throw-in so he went back to the bag. Mcbride followed with a grounder to short, which was perfectly fielded, and the side was retired.
 In the sixth inning the Barons started a little fun when Marcan was hit by the pitcher and was granted a walk. Moles- worth landed safely on first when Mack dropped the ball thrown to second to catch Marcan. With nobody out it looked as If the locals might score. but Fore man ordered things otherwise. He struck out Gygli and McGilvray in succession. McBride was hit by a pitched ball, but with the bases full Emery hit to the in field and the side was retired again. The Athletics scored first in the second Inning Walsh was hit by the pitcher and walked. Mack followed with an easy fly to the infield, which landed safely and Walsh was advanced. Lapp advanced both men on bases with a nicely placed bunt but was himself nailed at first. Hankee went out on a grounder from short to first but Rath laced out beauty to centerfeld and both Walsh and Mack scored doode went out on a grounder to second.
 In the third inning ten Athletics went to the bat and they pounded in five runs with as many hits. They found Lower with ease. Butcher first up, struck out. However McInnis followed with two bagger to left field. Houser hit a two baerer and McInnis scored. Walsh land- ed safely on first on GyglPs error and Houser went to third. Walsh then stole second. Mack followed with a. hot one down the third-base line which Umpire Cbastn,,tt called fair and Houser and walsh scored. Lapp hit safely to right and later Rath hit safely to center and both Mack and Lapp crossed the plate
 In the fifth inning Williams relieved Lower, but the Athletics scored two runs off of the Kansan in the sixth. Mclnhls went to first on Lsrsens error He stole second and Houser hit a safe one to the infleld. Walsh struck out but Mack rol- lowed him with clean two-bagger To Jeff field and both Athletics on base can tered in. This ended the run-getting. schopp went in the box in the eighth in- ming and pitched well. considering the fact that 1t was his first appearance on tha diamond this season. The Athletics got one hit in each inning pitched by the old Baron. ,,o,.,. Umpire Chestnutt's decision on Mack | foul in the third inning gave the Ath- iot,os two runs to which they were not clearly entitled Chestnut was not close enough to third to see the ball and ne called it fair, in consequence or WHICH two men marked on the scorepoard
