ANOTHER HOMER
BURNS ALLOWS OAKLAND BUT
ONE SINGLE
Angels slam Out Five Extra Base Hits
and Distinguish Themselves by
Playing supsrb Ball In
the Field
Angels 4, Oakland o

brace of home runs in two sue
cessive days Is ordinarily rated very
fair effort for any wielder of the STICK
but wooden Shoes Cravath Is not sat
iafied when once his batting eye re-
turns and just fell short yesterday Oh
making It three straight.
His smashing drive in the eighth went
screamine over the left field fence
for a terrific homer and in the sixth
he drove out long one that apparent
ly had good bye stamped on 1t. "A
fraction of an inch too low, however,
was the try, and as Van Haltren re-
trieved the sphere Gravy reached sec
ond. Immediately there was pro-
test from Seraph players, who claimed
that the ball had gone over the fence
and then bounced back after hitting
the roof Of an amusement concern IN
the Chutes park grounds.
ssRull' Perrine, however, Thought
that two bags was sufficient and Gravy
must needs be contented.
Had Cravath not been there with MS
horning eve there would have been no
chance for the Commuters, as Burns
allowed but one hit, walked but one
man and struck out four. The Angels
touched up Hopkins for eight safe
ones. among which were Cravath'
home run, Dillon's three bagger, Bra
shears brace of doubles and Cravath's s
two sacker.
Five Extra Base Hits
OF the eight safeties made by the
Seraphs. five were of the extra base
sort. Under the circumstances Father
Van Haltren and his band may be for
given for accepting the coat of lime.
The most spectacular fielding exhi-
bition of the day occurred on the last
play. when Carlisle in left for the
Angels, gathered in Reidy's drive after
a long run toward the bleachers'
Superb infield work distinguished the
Angel play yesterday, and the manner
in which Dillon, Toman, Brashear and
Gochnauer raked up the bad ones, was
pleasant to behold. The big captain
on first is q veritable scoop shovel and
a back hand catch or pick up comes
as easy as a waist high assist.
Bill Devereaux came in for his share
of roasting in the fifth, when. after
lining out a nice single, he hoped
about first base telling Burns how easy
Re was. Suddenly the big twirler shot
one to Dillon and Red was caught of
the bag verJ neatly.
Burns pitching came near to prov
ing a no hit nc run affair and DeVer-
eaux, the only man that scored safe
ty, did not see second base.
The Seraphs came near scoring in the
nrSI INNING duC DSCduoS VI IoiiSo
ouickness Gochnauer was given a
pass, went to second on Cravath's hit
to right and took third when Brashear
went out infield to first. Bliss passed
a ball and Gochnauer darted for the
plate. Bliss went after the sphere and
shot it to Hopkins, who had covered
the bag.
Oakland played errorless ball and
whep the sixth opened there had beer
no run tailed on either side. Cravath
commenced the trouble by endeavorine
to knock the left center field fence
down and because the sphere fell back
from the boards, stopped at second.
Brashear, who has been clouting the
ball with great regularity, was ready
with another double and scored Gravy,
Cap Dillon was not to be outdone and
poked out triple, reaching third by
a great slide as Smith sent the sphere
in from left.
Brashear scored and Hopkins walked
Carlisle. Toman sacrificed Dillon home
and Buckley went out Francks to Heit-
muller.
The score:
