A triple play, the first of the season,
two home runs by Truck" Eagan and
shut out for Los Angeles, the leaders
in the race for the league pennant, by
the Oakland team were the attractions
served the faithful followers of base
ball yesterday at Recreation park.
During several of the innings the act
ion was as swift as that shown by the
| leading teams Of the big leagues and
| throughout the game there were SEN
sational stops and throws which kept
the spectators interested.
| Los Angeles got away with the triple
play in the second inning. when there
were two men on bases and no one out.
| Pitcher Bergman passed both Haley
and Devereaux to first, and then Hogan
came to the bat. He hit the ball q re-
sounding whack and the men on the
bases made a dash to get around the
sacks. The hit was not big as it
sounded, as the ball was caught by
Pitcher Hogan. He whipped it down
to Delmas who was covering second,
| and he caught Haley. The ball was
then shot to Dillon at first, and .Dever-
eauX was out. The play was executed
SO quickly that it is a question whether
the players or the spectators showed
the most surprise.
One of Eagan's hits sailed over the
fence well down toward center field
and was legitimate home run. There
were two men on bases at the time,
so these two hits by the shortstop of
the Oaks netted the team four of the
five runs with which 1t won the game
Eagan was also a star in the field, as
he accepted some difficult fielding
chances without a miscue. He has a
l total of six home runs for the season.
Jim Smith, the first man up for the
Oaks when the game opened, lined the
ball out for two-bagger. He was
sacrificed along by Van Haltren and
scored when Heitmuller hit to the
pitcher. The latter threw out 'Heine."
but could not catch the runner Eagan
then followed with his first homer
The men from across the bay did not
score again until the eighth inning
which Eagan broke up in decided fash
ion. Jim Smith was safe at second on
a hit which Dillon was unable to handle
at first base owing to the bad bound
taken by the ball. Van Haltren sacri-
feed the man along to third. Heit-
muller showed a lot of patience and
was rewarded with a pass to first
Truck Eagan then came on the scene
with his trusty bat and lifted the ball
over the fence, bringing in the two
men on4tile bases. This completed the
scoring for the day.
Happy Hogan, the Los Angeles
catcher, appeared at the plate, looking
like Lord .'Ranjy.'' the famous crick-
eter, on Lords field near London. Happy
followed the style set by Roger Bres-
nahan. of the New York Giants, by ap-
pearing in a heavy pair of shin pads
which are usually worn by cricketers.
Hogan had to stand a lot OF good
natured badinage from the spectators
and also from the players on both
teams.
| The players and Umpire Derrick had q
much better understanding than on the
previous day. Pitcher Walter Nagle
was the only player to incur the dis
pleasure of the indicator man. He was
coaching too vigorously from the side
lines in the eighth inning and was
| ordered to the bench. The score:
LOS ANGELES
