Seals and Oaks Split
the Days Honors
Southpap Sutor Rehicpes the
Morning. Defeat BY Pitching
Another Great Game
By w. J. SIaffery

The Seals and the Commuters bid each
other farewell yesterday afternoon after
cutting up the days diamond honors
equally. II was sample OF each team
playing desperately for the double head
er-the Seals TO get nearer to second
place and the Commuters to keep from
sliding farther into the depths of the
baseball cellar. Both teams played good
and ragged ball. The Seals never ng-
ured TO gather in the morning, while
the cut was exactly switched during the
progress OF the afternoon battle.
The series ends with I'VE victories for
San Francisco and two for Oakland ana
: { makes the third straight series which
the home team has put over TO its
credit
The afternoon victory adds another
plume to the already we'll decorated
bonnet OF Southpaw Harry Sutor. The
husky Texans efforts were what did
more than anything else toward bring
ing victory home.
Oakland got a run off Sutor in the
first inning when Pa Van walked, stole
and arrived on Heitmuller's single.
From that moment on not even the most
ardent admirers Of the team from over
the pond conceded them anything like
an even break with the Seals. Two more
lonely bingles represented their efforts
with the big stick.
SEALS GATHER EARLY
In the meantime the home team en-
tertained the fans in a very fitting man
ner. They turned everything possible
into runs and never overlooked single
bet. The errors which Oakland COM
mitted unfortunately happened when
they did the most good for the locals,
while Dellar's erratic benders worked
against him with men on third base.
Captain MOhler promptly opened UP
the game with a neat single to right,
and Hide laid down a sacrifice. Zeider
advanced his chief with an infield out,
and Williams laced one down 10 Alt
man. Dutch failed TO get his hooks on
the sphere and while he juggled Mohler
came in.
The days run getting ended in the
seventh-the inning that is responsible
for SO many switches in the tide of vic
tory. Yesterday. however. il was kindly
disposed toward the Seals and gave
them their chance TO shoot another pair
OF runs over the oyster and stow the
game away so effectively that the Oaks
could not dig it out again.
The work Of the Seals in the field was
just as fast as il has been all week, and
they seemed capable Of handling any
mond.
FANS WELL ENTERTAINED
The winning streak which the Seals
developed during the week was respon-
slble for drawing out an immense
crOwd-One of the best at the grounds
this season. The play was bright and
snappy all day and the occupants of
both the bleachers and the grandstand

against the admission of their evidence. but was
overruled.
The testimony of the experts showed that the
