OAKS AND ANGELS
SPLIT EVEN
ON DAY.

The morning game to Los Angeles,
the afternoon game to Oakland yes
terday was the division of the Sunday
double header by the fates that watch
over the national game as it is ex-
emplihed at Idora Park.
It took ten innings of close. and hard
fought baseball in the afternoon to
convince Nagle that for the time, at
least, be had met his better in South
paw Graham, the twirler, who in a
game earlier in sthe week, allowed the
Angels one little hit. The conviction
was brought home to the Santa Rosa
chap in the following manner: The
Oaks were taking their turn at bat in
the, tenth and Oscar Graham went out
on little pop-up to Mcclellan. Right
Fielder Smith slapped one to Gochnauer
whereat the short stop pulled Ran
idolph ten Tfeetrinto the air to get his
throw and the runner was safe. Then
Nagle worked in so wild a pitch that
Smith got to second easily and took
third when Toman failed to hold Buck
ley's throw. The ball rolled out to
Bernard and Mcclellan let nice peg
from Burnie get by him and hit the
fence. which ended the game right then,
as Smith f1oated over the plate like a
pbff of smoke, with the winning run.
+ The Angels, who throughout the con-
test were always threatening, became
particularly so in the first of the tenth.
Ellis made an infield out, but McClel-
Ian and Buckley each got singles.
Nagle fouled out, hut Heine Heitmuller
fell down on a ground ball off Ber-
nard's stick and the bases were full,
with Goehnauer up. The situation was
critical. Graham finally handed up one
he thought he would like and Goch-
nauer slammed one at Brick. The Red
Dog took it. steadied himself, while
the. three Angels sped by on the way
to the plate, and then with a perfect
throw caught Goch by two feet at first
Graham forced in the run that ena-
bled Dillon's grew TO take the lead in
the seventh. Buckley and Nagle were
on bases bysvirtue of hit and a two
sacker and Bernard drew a pass, filling
the stations. Gochnauer came up and
in temporary alteration Oscar passed
him too, at which Buckley registered
But Cravath and Randolph made easy
outs, and Mcclellan had opened the in
ming by q foul to Brick,
. If the southpaw was responsible. for
that run of Buckleys he was also re-
sponsible.,for a cracking hit to right
that brought in Francks to tie it UP
again after Buck had reached third on
a long hit past Bernard in the last of
the seventh
Van Haltren, after a hard run, caught
in one hand liner off Toman's bat in
the arstswhich looked so good that Dill
lon was almost to second at the time
and was easily doubled off first. Ber-
nard had scored on a little pop hit
back of the pitchers box, gone up on
secrifice and come home on Cravath's
two-sacker to left, but Vans catch and
throw ended the trouble.
Tom Hackett was hit on the head by
pitched ball in the first, but played
the game out and in spite of his in
jury the Oaks accumulated three tall
lies in that season at bat
The morning game was. a slaughter
pure and simple Johnny Hopkins was
trimmed with a vengeance The team
went to pieces and made eleven errors
after Catcher Bliss sustained a broken
finger from a foul tip in the fourth
and Brick Devereaux was put out OF
the game and fined s5 as a resuit-,of a
too vehement elucidation of an obscure
point. In the afternoon the memory
ranked and Bricks soul was filled with
much bitterness, but it surely mitigated
the barkings Of the Red Dog to an ap-
preciable extent. The scores:
