The San Francisco call., 1905-05-01
ANDNG OF THE CLUBS.

Uncle's baseball warriors seem TO
have struck their gait at last. as twice
yesterday they made the Commuters
look ike bush leaguers. The going was
easy. as not a Seal had to turn a hair
during the process OF handing it out TO
Oakland Miller and Corbett were the
men behind in both instances. Both
had slants TO waste. and both walIoped
the bah few. Scores: Morning game
San Francisco 4. Oakland o. After
noon game-San Francisco 5, Oak
land l.
This double victory puts Uncle next
to the Tacoma Tigers in the chase after
the rag. The series Of two weeks broke
With seven games for San Francisco,
six for Oakland and q tie battle. From
the manner in which the Seals played
ball al the beginning OF the series it
seemed they would stop with about
Two games. but they finished strongly
and thereby ogot away with the series.
The afternoon game was spoiled by
the wsrst 7hoOdlum act ever performed
on a ball field in this city Marty Muir
ply showed what a rewdy he is when
he assaulted Umpire Bull Perine in the
second inning without cause. He did
ongt stop at one blow, but rained punch
after punch On the face Of the indicator
man till the players pulled him away.
Perine called two strikes on Murphy
= and the latter was then retired on an
infield play. He walked up to the UNI
pire and a few words passed between
them. Murphy suddenly hit Perine in
the face. he staggered the frail indi-
Gator man and then came back Blow
after blow did the rowdy shower on
the jaw Of Perine- Parke Wilson held
him for q minute. but he broke away
and came back once more.
o-The crowd hissed and jeered and
hcOted. Such an exhibition had never
been witnessed by the fans before and
they all vented their ire on the man
who would unite hoodlumism and
Ball playing Murphy was arrested on
complaint Of President Bert and hur-
ried 70 the city Hall Police Station.
The president also expelled him from
the league.
When Perine returned TO the game
he was cheened Justify by the b e
crowd Of fans. When Murphy left the
grounds in the middle Of the game, fol-
lowed and preceded by an officer, the
crowd hooIed. Walter Christie, the
Berkeley trainer, helped Perine out
during the remainder of the game by
taking care OF the plays on the bases.
Joe Corbett not only put the Com
muters away with a pair Of hits, but
he brought two runs across the plate
with a resoBnding twO-cushioner to left
field in the fourth spasn. Then again
he opened UP the third with a single
and went all tbs way 70 the last base
on Waldron's sacrifice. II was pretty
play and Joe worked il when he saw
no one was taking care Of the sack. A
BAD throw by Byrnes let Joe register
the first enc for Uncle.
r was COrbett's wild pitch that al
lowed the Commuters to get q run and
saved them the disgrace of a white
wash. With Francks and Byrnes on the
paths. and one gone in the fifth, Joe
thew the bali past shea and allowed
the run 10 come through The next
G two hseh died easily, 50 t would have
been ca clear case OF shut-out had Joe
retained his control
The Seals left last night for Tacoma

Mohler cannot play till the Seals re-
turn again. Walters is also liable to BE
cut for some time. Oakland meets Los
Angeles here this week AS the Angels
