Los Angeles 2, Oakland /; eleven
innings.
Mr.. Clarence c. Carnes, lately inn
ported from Fresno by Heine Berry
to do duty f. the center of the dia-
mond. backed out of one life-sized hole
before the locals could trim the Com
muters in their post-meridian session
yesterday. AS it was the Seraphs and
Pop Van Haltren's hirelings went
eleven innings Lefore the fans could
see five straight victories in sight for
the Berryites.
When the total of the days doings
had been looked over it appeared to
be a lucky win for the locals. I'm
happy Hogan, who was on the mound
for the visitors, allowed but four hits,
and those at widely separated inter-
walls, while Carnes was there with the
gift of a bunch of the safe ones, some
of them in clusters.
The ninth spasm was where Mr. Carnes
showed his true worth as a slab artist.
With none out and the bases all oc-
cupied with live specimens of Oakland
junk the Fresno lad kept things NOV
ing until the side had been retired
without another tally. Haley started
by Bull Peruna and was sent to Sec
ond when Bill Deveraux ambled to
first on wide ones. Little Fairy Hack
ett dallied around long enough to con-
meet with bingle and fill the pillows,
and with defeat in sight Carnes pulled
himself together. Unhappy Hogan
slammed one to Brashear, who nailed
Haley at the plate, Bassey famed, Van
Haltren few to Happy Hogan and the
~ ornY yuoc hn r,,o1A1
Brick DevereauSN had his feelings lac
Grated because of a close connection
with Jud Smiths spikes, but after the
first aid had been applied kept on in
the running.
Carlisle Busy Again
Carlisle, whose batting has caused
Henry Berry palpitation of the eye
brow for the past few days, opened the
fireworks of the afternoon in the first
inning, after Oakland had been retired
without a call. Maybe the bouquet
which was presented to him had some
thing to do with it, but anyhow Car
Isle honored the donor of the posies
by slamming out a three-sacker. Ellis
drove a long fly to left field and the
rosebud kid sprinted in ahead of the
throw.
There was nothing stirring until the
sixth round, when the Commuters
lasted long enough to tie the score.
Rip Van Haltren made the initial pill
low on scratch hit and Heine Heit-
muller, in trying to sacrifice the grand
old man on peg, beat his bunt to
first, Van landing on third because of
Carnes' wild throw to Dillon. Eagan
walloped one on the seam for a clean
single, scoring Van, but doing no more,
as those to follow failed to materialize
with anything that looked like a safe
hit.
Hackett and Hogan tried a fancy
stunt in the eleventh stanza, but their
little stunt was given the hook and
busted up the show. The fans were
getting homesick for their coffee and
when Ellis came to the platter in the
final period and the busher was ap-
pealed to for a resemblance to a hit
He replied by lining one to the center
field obstruction and Kitty Brashear
laid down his life to get the youngster
on to the corner roosting place.
Jud Smith came next and Hackett
called for wide ones in order to walk
the molar buster. Judson was hep to
the play, and when Ellis got a long
lead toward tie platter he leaned over
with a bunt that went fast enough to
give the busher a chance to score.
The curtain was called for and it was
slow music for Van and his friends.
Free BaII-Maybe
Henry Berry is a real sport-in his
thoughts, at least. Since the disclosure
of the fact that he is a millionaire and
had made as much as sixty or seventy
thousand in a day Berry has been be-
sieged by the fans for passes to the
daily show at the Chutes, and he has
finally decided to be a real philan-
thropist and conduct a free gate cam
paign. If the other managers in the
league are willing Berry will in the
near future abolish the turnstiles all
together and allow the multitudes to
flock to the games free of charge. Of
course the other magnates are not en-
tirely in accord with this plan, but Mr..
Berry is confident that he can bring
them around to his way of thinking.
