For the most part.- the Oaks got their hits when there were two out and tney couldn't bunch them sufficiently to con vert them Into runs. Butcher's opening appearance In San Francisco was quite auspicious. He had the. hasaa full and two out when he hit the ball to right center. It was as - pretty a home run as the fans at Re creation Park have seen In many a day. . The ball Just skimmed over the fence V- top and four men scampered home In a body. " It was In the third that the curtains were closed over the Oaks. Howley " fanned, Hlrglnbotham walked and was : forced at second when Doane grounded to Cook. Bancroft slammed to short, Cook dolnir well to stop the ball. Doane, who haJ stolen second, went to third on Bancroft s single and the word I was given for a double steal. Rohrer - threw to Pernoll, who returned to the catcher and Doane was between third and home. Rohrer threw a mile high 1 to Hetllng at third and Doane scored when there should have been three 7 out.

We are going to keep our lead, and every day the pace grows hotter, but we're going to fight, and fight hard, regardless of fines.
