srANpING OF THE CLUBS
Oakland 10, Los Angeles 2


* the sacrific at the Chutes yesterday,
~ and the largest crowd of the season
saw the big twirler get an awful wallop-
ing from the Oaks. Six hits in one
round four in another, two in another,
and an odd bingle scattered In for good
measure were recorded off Burns. and the
whole bunch netted Oakland total OF
ten runs.
The Angels were not so far behind the
visitors when 1t came to connecting with
the safe ones, but w. Hogan's team sup
ported him admirably when 1t came to
crisis and almost kept Berry's hired
hands off the score board. In several in
nings It looked dangerous for Hogan but
his supporters rallied when they were
needed and kept the Angels from coming
close.
Cavvie Cravath and his shin guards
were among the important features of
the day. Hap Hogans sore hand began
to trouble him about the sixth inning,
and as Bobby Eager was already on the
hospital list Cravath was brought In
from right field to show what he could do
behind the protector. The big celery
herder sported a pair of Bresnahans on
his legs and was all to the good when 1t
came to stopping them in back of the
platter. Eager filled in the hole in right,
but didn't have an opportunity to show
Off
1t was nice game for the Sunday
crowd to watch, for hits and runs were
free and easy. Oakland's ten runs were
punched in four acts, and the Angels dis
tributed their brace of tallies over a like
number of periods,
In the first inning the Oaks broke to
the front, not safe hit being recorded
while they were doing it. Smith drew
pass and was sacrificed on a base by Van
Haltren, stealing third at the first oppor-
tunity Heitmuller was there with long
f1y to Ellis, and before the youngster
could shoot the leather home Smith
crossed the platter.
Cravath was first up for the Angels in
the second and he singled to left Bra
shear hit to Haley, who fielded the ball
over to Eagan in an attempt to force
Cravath. Truck dropped the pill and
both runners were safe. Ellis sacrificed,
and the runners moved up notch. Cra-
vath coming in when Delmas singled to
right field.
In the third inning Oakland opened up
on Burns, and four hits netter total
of three runs Devereaux liked what the
big fellow had to offer well enough to
clout out a two-sacker, and when Hogan
let the bald go past him at the plate the
>aed%qRog vent on to third. w. Hogan
rapped ajIsFetty single out to left, and
Dew camgybome on the bit
Smiths Two-Sacker
Smith picked out nice one and slipped
in into the field for two-bagger, and
Van Haltren hit to 4Delmas, who heaved
the leather to Hogan just too late to nail
Hogan. While the other Hogan was argu-
ing 1t out with the ump. Smith sneaked
home unmolested and scored the third
tally of the inning.
Things were peaceable until the fifth,
when the Greeks gathered unto them
selves a couple more. Deveraux led on
by reaching first on a pass. went to sec
ond on Hogan's sacrifice. and ambled on
TO third when a wild pitch was dished
IN. Smith walked and stole seconu, and
van Haltren drove the leather at Ber-
nard. who threw to the plate and nailed
Devereaux. Van went to second on the
play. and he followed right on Smiths S
heels when the latter scored on Heitmul-
ler's single
But If the fifth was considered busy
inning the seventh was regular cy-
clone. Burns loosened up to the extent or
s,x hits. and four Oaks chased in before
the big show was over.
smith was first up and he went out via
Brashear and Dillon. Van Haltren nit
to right. and although Dillon nailed the
leather and could have thrown the run
ner out. there was no one at first to cover
the bag. Heine Heitmuller singled by
Rrashear. and Eagan yas safe when ne
lined one down to Delmas, which TOOK
the reverse English just as the fielder
reached for it. Bliss sent one on a line
lust above Delmas' head, and although
Bert went into the air and stopped 1t, he
could not whip 1t home In time to keep
Van Haltren from scoring.
That air line stunt looked good to Haley
and he slapped one out toward left field.
Brashear made the flying leap, but there
was nothing doing on mailing the ball,
and HeitmulIer scored. Bigbie singled to
center and when Ellis made slight fum-
BILE Eagan and Bliss cantered in to vote.
Ten runs were enough for the Oaks,
and they slowed down in the two follow
ing rounds in which they were at the bat.
The Angels might have added one to their
string in the seventh had not a bunch of
fancy plays retired them. Eager poked
his bat in the way of fast one, and
lxeeled over. He thought the ball had
rolled foul and made no attempt to run,
and was a little shocked when Hogan
whipped the BAN to first to record a put
out. Burns and Bernard singled and
Carlisle walked, and it looked as though
there might be something stirring. But
Carlisle went to sleep of first and was
nabbed by Bigbie, and Dillon made the
third, out by flying to Smith
