Los Angeles G. Oakland O.

"Rusty" Hall simply toyed with the
Commuters yesterday afternoon, and
but for Oscar Graham's bunt in the
sixth inning would possess one of those
elusive mo hit" games to his credit
The Seraphs gave their big twirler err
rorless support and his offerings proved
a triie too mystifying for five of the
northern stickers to even find
Graham was the only visitor to settle
on the first cushion during the entire
action and that on scratchy pass
which he dumped along the third base
line to Jud Smith and beat the fire to
first by inches.
That was all the visiting gentlemen
of the NIT could accomplish and
"Rusty" was supreme thereafter. Not
Greek was walked and anything that
conducted excursion to the first angle
failed to materialize.
Graham found himself in several very
tight situations in the first and second
periods, but managed to escape until
the third canto, when the first two
jaunts Of the game were brought over
the terminal patch.
Arthur Ross welded the big stick
Of the day, swiping out two doubles
and two singles in four times at bat,
the balls being dropped in the left pas
ture in each instance. 1t was a great
showing for the little man, who was in
danger of being sold for his poor work
with the timber few short weeks ago
and easily gives him the highest bat
ting average among his colleagues for
the week. Every one of the passes
scraped the third cushion in ambling
out to the country and caused that
esthetic gentleman, Billium Devereaux,
to actually weep with sorrow and dis
may.
Brashear opened the first effective on
slaught on Oscar Jones by wiping the
ozone three times for a seat on the
bench but Jud Smith wisely waited un-
til four OF the bad ones had been slid
in his direction. Dillon lifted a single
to short and then up and grabbed the
next bag. Cravath famed but Ross
pulled off his first double and cleared
This was all until the sixth period
hove over the horizon, when the Angels
enticed two more of their compatriots
oyer the rubber. Ross ripped off his
third hit and second single over the
third pillow and was advanced notch
on Baums sacrifice. Spies raped out
single TO left and Ross kicked up the
dust about the rubber. Hall caused
CONSERVATION in both camps by lifting
out the sphere for double to center,
Spies scoring another completed amble
for the natives.
The seventh period was productive of
the two final circuit completers for
Dillon's commando. Brashear opened
hostilities with a high pop out to
Graham. Smith raped single to left
and went to second when Moskiman
permitted the pall to skip through to
the fence Dillon sapped one along to
julie Streib and Graham tried to cover
the bag. It was a close decision but
Bray decided in favor of the land of
sunshine.
Cravath raped out high pass to
left and Smith found plenty of time to
come over on the throw in. Then along
came little Artie Ross and he reached
the pesky leather for the fourth and
last time over the third sack and con-
tinued along to second, while Smith and
Dillon romped under the wire.
