Fop six Innings ho bteezed alone, hitting on all clylnders and drop ping the home-town bois In one-two-three order. Jn that time only e'ghtci n batters faced him and not a hit or a l un was made oft his delivery, OKI Jack came mighty near the baseball hall of fame. A "cratch slnglo and a ten Iblc l lece of fielding on the part of Johnston and Hy Altera put the paiado out of Flap In the seventh stanza. Uancroft's hit was barely stopped by Olson and the runner beat the throw. Then LutWus lifted a high fly tn right and John-Ion and Mjera argued between themselit mid the ball dropped safe for a tingle, tcorlng the midget shortstoii. Justin Fitzgerald, pinch hitter extra ordinary, buted up the proceedings In the ninth with a elrnn double to center nnd counted on Bancroft's blngle to right. Cy Williams's sacrlflco nnd Stock's double sent In the winning run. Fitzgerald looks llko a. Rood ball Plaer and should bo seen In action more often. He Is fast, can hit well and a good fielder. Ills throwing arm Is a trifle weak, but that should get stronger. Fltz Is a scrappy ball plaer and In jects lots ef pep In his play. , fonnli Mack plugged up the hole In the outfield estcid,iy when he signed Baldemero Acosta, the oung Cuban, who onco plaved with Wnidilngton. The new plajer was obtained from Atlanta und practiced with the A's jesterday. He will bo uVd In the double-header to day. Ho Is a good fielder and his hit writ In the minors. This looks br If Connie Is planning to iisej Itube Oldrlng on first base when CIrorge Burns goes Into tho nrmy.
