Wowiel What game! Seventeen runs,
thirty-one hits and ali kinds of fancy
plays thrown in for good measure. And
the unique feature of the performance
was that the Angels registered sixteen
safe wallops off Hogan, while the Com
muters connected with Randolph and
Bergemann for a total of fifteen.
Taken al together the game was a
very busy one, and aside from the num-
ber of hits recorded and the frequent
scoring of the visitors provided sew
eral interesting plays. Beaneater Car
lise came through with one Of his cir
Gus catches that brought down the
there for little noise when he nailed a
fast liner with his gloved mitt.
Red Randolph was the first victim Sc
lected for Oakland, and he stuck around
on the mound for the worst part of four
innings Then Fred Bergemann, fresh
from the La Canada wi.ds, and still shy
control, essayed to toss them over, and
he was soft picking for the Oaks.
But Hogan, who did slab duty for Van
Haltrens hirelings, was in just as bad
only his team played better ball and the
punches as Randy and Bergemann fell
for Hogan was easy. enough all the
way through, and Van Haltrep kept
another twirler warming up all the time
but the Commuters nailed onto such
long lead that the locals efforts with
the stick were all but useless.
Both teams broke to a good start, but
in the second lap the Oaks got together
and opened up gap of four lengths
Eagan was the first to show his speed
and he nailed a pretty single out to left
field. Bliss slapped one down toward
Delmas, and Bert juggled the sphere
long enough to leave two men on the
sacks. Haley singled to the infield, and
the bags were all occupied.
Bigbie liked the third one offered him,
and he ciouted the leather for a double
over Brashear, scoring Eagan and Bliss.
Devereaux made the first out when he
fouled to Hap Hogan, and the other
Hogan doubled over third, scoring Haley
and Bigbie. Smith flew to Ellis, and
Van Haltrens pass got him nothing, as
he was forced at second on Heitmuller's
hit to Delmas.
CarIisle's Star Catch
In the Oaks half of the third it looked
like more runs but Carlisle put a crimp
in their playing by making one of the
prettiest catches ever seen in this neck
Of the woods. Bliss had made tally
on the strength of fielders choice, an
error and an assist when Bigbie came to
the platter. He picked out nice one
and sent it on a line toward the left field
fence. 1t didn't look as though Carlisle
had a chance to even touch the flying
sphere, but the Midget stuck out his
gloved hand and the ball stuck there
like glue.
Oakland's one run in the first part of
the third started the Angels and they
scored two before W. Hogan was able
to retire them. Hap Hogan was the
first up and he singled to center, being
sent on his way toward home when Ran
dolph walked. Bernard singled to left
and scored Hap, and after knocking a
was granted a pass Carlisle was forced
at second on Dillon's effort, but Ran
dolph scored on the play.
Oakland scored another in the fourth,
making the score six to two in their
favor. and the Angels came back strong
in the fifth to make the tallying four to
six. Bergemarn went on the mound in
the fourth act and the sixth saw his
finish, so far as chance to win was
concerned Five runs were gathered off
the five hits he allowed and nearly every
seemed to find him easy for something
or other.
The busy inning opened with three
sacker by w. Hogan, and Jim Smith
walked stealing second at the first OPP
'portunity. Hogan scored on wild pitch,
Smith making third on the same play.
Van Haltren was out on his bunt In front
of the plate, and Heitmuller singled TO
right, scoring Smith. Gagan hit to right
, for safe one, and Bliss followed suit
with a bingle to left, sending Smith
home Bigbie scored Bliss and Eagan with
a double to right, but Devereaux could
not get, his effort past Carlisle.
The Angels added one to their total
in the eighth, and for while the fans
who were on their way to the gate lott
cred around in hopes of Garrison finish.
But there was nothing doing, and the
longest game of the local season. which
took two hours a. a quarter to COM
plete, went to the Oaks by wide mar
