The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1906-04-08

score the first run of the season for the
Seals. In the second spasm. with one
already fallen by the waySide, John
tore off a clever little hit to center.
Hit responded with a drive to right,
and as the crowd began 10 yell ever
harder Hildebrand sneaked one in past
third and sent Gochnaur over the
jumps Hit then made a dummy play
and tried to DO some sort of stunt while
the pitcher held the ball He was
caught at the plate, and hurt his knee
during the mixUp.
SEALS SCORE THREE MORE.
Not until the seventh did the Seals con-
meet for any more runs. Then they made
up for lost time by smothering the 81
washes with three in row. Hide started
with hit over third. and Mohler promptly
scored him by rapping a double to center.
Waldron also bingled, and Mott fumbled
the grounder letting Mohler through. Ir
win responded with timely one, and the
third run was negotiated.
While in the field the Seals played the
game in big league style Gochnaur picked
EN- up and winged EN- over to first just
as fast as he was wont to do last year.
Mohler was in the middle Of a fast double
play and took everything that came along
with his accustomed ease. Irwin was not
kept busy, but he got them all without
trouble.
Charley Street, the new catcher, looks
like the man San Francisco wants. He
can peg that ball around to the bags
without ever making a miss. None of the
Siwashes was game enough to steal on
him yesterday, for that wing looked too
strong in the warm-up. Young Schoheld,
the ST. Mary's College boy, fielded bril-
liantly and got in his little hit late in the
game He is a fast left-hander and works
much like Hal Chase. The fans all look
for him to make good.
George Hildebrand was as safe and sure
as Of yore out in left garden. He also
helped the team some by hammering out
a couple Of hits. Waldron is over in the
right garden this time, and he, too, was
there with the bingle. Spencer dropped a
fly after a hard run, but they all excused
him for that. He runs around good and
fast and brought down the bleachers by
beating out a bunt along the third-base
line catching Mott asleep on his beat.
HUGHES WILL PITCH TODAY.
The Seals look whole lot stronger than
the Siwashes. The latter team seems to
lack in fexibility, thought 1t will probably
do better with some more experience.
Heine Heitmuller, the former Berkeley
college man. was there at the initial sack,
and while he is not any too graceful he
guarded his post like good one. Mott
and McGilvray are new men, but the rest
of the team is about the same as last
years.
The grounds are fixed up in good shape,
a new entrance on Eighth street for the
accommodation of the bleacherites having
been effected. Turnstiles are operated on
the front gate, and more exits have been
constructed, so that the crowd will not be
jostled around.
A gala day crowd is looked for this aft
ernoon. Jay Hughes, the old Baltimore
favorite will toss 'em for San Francisco,
while Vickers will probably officiate for
the visitors. The game viii be called at
2:30 o'clock, as usual The morning game
at Oakland is carded TO start at 1918.
Manager Gleason viii put in one of his
young pitchers. The score:
