Celery Cravath's home run inside and
a horse trying to make home run on
the outside provided the excitement at
the chutes yesterday. Cavvie's wallop
was about as neat thing as has occurred
on the local diamond since it started, and
after he had trotted around the bags at
his own gait the rest of the Angels could
do no less than get together and beat
Oakland.
lie horse came in for his share of the
doings when he started to tear up wash
inRton street with rig In tow. About
three feet out the buggy colided with
an auto and some of Jack Densham
pupils ran over from the football neld
and corraled the animal.
The game was one of those stingy kinds
where hits were worth real money Ber-
ry's old castoff, Carnes, was on the hill
for the Commuters, and 1t took Dolly
Grays best to beat him. The Oaklander
allowed but four hits, and Dolly went
him one better by holding the visitors
down TO three.
II was not the incest kind of a day for
ball. but the game was good, as both
teams dished up real stuff. The ground
near third base looked more or less like
a gun clubs preserve, and right held
had Tulare lake skinned mile for size.
Brashear was marked down Tor two
errors and one Of them can be attributed
to the condition of the diamond in his
territory. Kitty slipped around quite a
hi. and did rot fare as well as Brick
Deyereaux, who was in his old place for
the Oaks.
cravath Makes Homer
The Angels broke int the run column
when Crayath walloped the ball over the
left field fence for an easy journey around
the stations Dillon opened the fourth
inning for the locals. and he was an
easy out The first ball Carnes tossed
over looked good to Cravath, and he let
go.
1t looked like an ordinary line drive,
and Jim Smith hustled over to get near
the ball. But the further it Travelled the
higher it went, and the last seen of that
chunk of horsehide was when 1t cleared
the fence by about ten feet and still
going like a shot.
This was too much for Carnes, and be-
fore he could settle down Brashear had
drawn a pass to first. Ellis was out on a
fv TO w. Hogan and Delmas tried to
help things along with two-sacker. This
sent Brashear to third, but Dolly Gray
ended the show on a grounder to Haley,
which reached Bigbie ahead of the run
ner.
After the runaway the Angels kicked in
around the sacks in the fifth inning.
Rernie opened the round by grabbing a
PASS and Carlisle sacrificed him on peg.
Half the Oakland team went after Dill
lo..'s fly over second base, but none OF
them managed to glue the sphere. Ber-
ME saw his chance and beat 1t for nome
getting there just a fraction of an inch
ahead of the pill. which Jim Smith
heayed in as soon as he could retrieve It.
Oaks Score One
Oakland's only chance came in the sew
enth. when a little of the rough stuff by
Brashear, coupled with safe hit, gave
the Commuters their lone score. Bigbie,
first UP, sent the sphere straight at
Brash. but Kitty let it get away, and
Big was safe. w. Hogan followed with
a hunt and Brash heaved the leather
wild in trying to get Bigbie at third
The runner kept on going and crossed
the nav station before Carlisle could wing
the ball to Hap Hogan.
Heine Heitmuller tried to start some
thing in the eighth round, but Quigg
could not see it that WY and the big
felder had to take what was coming.
Heine dropped little bunt in front OF
the plate and Hogan whipped the hide
TO Dillon Heitmuller tried to kid the
umpire into calling it foul, but Quigg
had ideas of his owr on the subject and
refused to look at it that way. Rube
Ellis came to the front and cheated Ea-
gan out of a two-sacker, for Ruby made
q grand catch of what looked like lovely
double. The score;
