z Peter Sommers was in the middle pew for
the Oaklands. When Peter did not put the
ball over the plate the Steers walked, and
when he did put it over they hit it out for
singles and doubles and ran. So there you
are. In the first inning Peter sent three
men t. first on balls, besides being guilty
of two wild pitches and wild throw. Three
runs were scored in this inning, which was
rather rocky at the start but ended with a
neat double play. Aside from his pitchers.
