CONNECT WITH
Kids Fill the Bleachers and Help the
Locals with Their Roofing.
Smith and Brashear
Eat Well
In. AnreIea 1O, Oaklnnd 1.

All the kids in town accepted Hen
Berrys invitation to attend yesterday
ball game. Big kids showed the little KIDS
off the left field bleachers; kids with shoes
on stepped on the toes of the barefoots'
and finally some overgrown kid started a
lemon fight which nearly broke up the
show.
But the noise the kids made in the early
part of the game seemed to have some
effect. for the Angels walloped Van Hal
tren and his layout numerically, and did
MANY things to the offerings contributed
by Pitcher Reidy. Fourteen hits, one OF
them three-sacker and another double
helped to pile up the tallies and five
errors by the Commuters put the Angels
on Easy street.
And perhaps the cheering of the kids,
who were all there with the lung work
for the Angels, helped Berry's men play
almost faultless ball The only black
mark shown in the score sheet came right
in the first inning, when Carlisle muffed
an easy fly, but as no tallies resulted from
the misplay the error did not matter in
the long run.
Reidy was something like q gift to the
local batters and every member of the
team, with the exception of Maggie, fat
tened up his percentage as result. Jud
Smith was there with four safe ones out
D,
Brashear scored brackets in three in
stances. One of these was a two-sacker,
topped for long hit only by Hogan's bif
for one more bag.
Oakland started out in the second inning
like old time winners, and the bleacher
kids shut off all power and simply
watched things. Haley secured his fifth
consecutive hit when he doubled to left
with two men down, and Brick DevereauX
also came in for his fifth straight one
when he followed with single to the
same portion of the lot.
Work Double Steal
Then the batting pair framed UP a
double steal, which resulted in Haley
reaching the platter in safety and Dew
going to second. But here the Red Dog
died, for Reidy flew to Carlisle to stop
proceedings. With the put out ended
Oaklands scoring for the day, for Maggie,
assisted by the perfect playing of the
Angels. kept the visitors off the score
board for the rest of the scrimmage.
The Angels got the kids busy in their
half of the same round when Smith fol-
lowed Cravaths out with a single to left,
which also gave him a chance to steal
second Demas was out at first, but
Truck Eagan juggled Hogan's effort and
Smith scored.
In the fourth TWO more runs were re-
corded. Smith again singled, was sacri-
feed on by Delmas, and romped home
when Hap Hogan hinged the leather for
three pillows. Nagle's bunt to Reidy was
fumbled and Hap ambled in with tally
No. 8.
The following act saw Oakland's last
hope of winning go up in a cloud of runs.
Brashear was given a pass, Dillon sacri-
feed him on peg, and Cravath also drew
four wide ones. Jud Smith laid one down
toward first base and Bigbie, who ran in
to nail the ball, threw to first without
looking No one was there to cover the
bag, and before the ball had been re-
turned by Heitmuller, Brashear and era
vath both scored and Smith was perched
on third base. Then Delmas contributed
a single to center which sent Smith in on
the bit.
Just TO show that they weren't overlook
ing anything Dillon's men got connected
with Reidy in the eighth, and with five
hits scored four more runs. Hogan
reached first on Eagan's error and was
sacrificed on a notch by Nagle. Bernard
walloped out a safe one and Hap Travelled
on to third, coming in when Carlisle
bingled to right field. Brashear's bunt
toward third gave Bernard chance to
try for home, and he slid in right under
Bliss nose. Dillon was out via Haley and
Bigbie, but while it was coming off Car
Isle chased in with a tally. Cravath
stung one out past third, and Brashear
crossed the rubber with the last tally of
the day. The figures:
