Seals Pull Out Game
During Eleventh
Second Extra Inning Contest in
Tho Days Goes the Way
of Home Team
By w. J. SIaftery

The ever fdSh1OnaDle extra rOuhu
stuff was on the baseball bill OF fare
at the Valencia street lot yesterday aft
ernoon, and naturally, the Oaks took
second money for the third time within
moment in the eleven stirring innings
when interest tagged particle The
boys were ever on the job, ready 10
slip the fans the best they had had, and
1t was good at all times Errors
happened just as they do in all good
ball games, but these were forgotten
when the pretty plays were pulled on.
The Oaks did their regular blowing
up stunt in the fatal last inning The
game would not have been complete
without it. Two runs were eased
over by the home team, though II
had no. license to grab either of them.
Bad pitching and bad fielding were
punched with a couple of hits and the
game was broken up very easily.
Wright got in bad by slapping Cap
Mohler, the first man up. Hide neat
ly sacrificed. after which Wright ex-
ecuted very wild pitch and Mohler
pulled up at third. Everybody shouted
when the reliable RolIie Zeider dumped
nice hit in the right garden and the
Seals leader tore home. Williams out
advanced Rollie and Melchoirs hlt
aided by Vans boot, scored him.
OPEN UP ON WRIGHT
From the way the Seals opened up
on Wright in the first inning 1T looked
as though they would collect enough
runs in five innings to break up an
ordinary bush league game. With Moh-
Ter out of the way, Hide singled, but
was nailed at third on Zeider's drive
TO right. Zeider made second on the
nj fo1<a nd yad uyh l.
liams singled over first
Nick was followed by Melehoir, who
tapped a double into the left garden
The sympathetic fans got out their
handkerchiefs and were all prepared
to do their weeping early, for it had
all the earmarks of a slaughter
Wright, however, pulled himself to-
gether and managed to wriggle out
of the hole by getting rid of Joe Cur
tbs very handily.
Oakland stalled around until the lucky
seventh without doing a bit of good
for themselves. But then-they got
theirs, and made it a deadlock With two
in the cellar and the prospects gloomy
Zeider booted Hogan's grounder and
Miller shot wee Willie to third with a
resounding drive past Mohler- Altman
laced one down to McArdle and Dutch"
fought it all over the lot, allowing
Hogan to come right through with the
run.
Oscar Jones had fine control and a
barrel of confidence. The Oaks came
near hitting that ball any place he
told them to. They. were all on his
staff and with good support in the
seventh there would have been no ne
cessity for an eleven inning fight
SEALS PLAY BETTER GAME
Though the score does not show it.,
the Seals played far and away the
better game and were entitled to
everything they got. In the field they
were marvels with the fast ones. zei-
der's one error, though it let in a run,
was all but unnoticed, for the little
shortstop pulled off couple of plays
around second that would have won
him a home in any mans league.
1t was about the hottest day of the
season and the bleacherites shed their
coats long before time was called. The
weather seemed to have the desired
effect on the players. who worked
faster than any bunch loaded with
speed capsules. Williams and Curtis
pulled off the two long hits of the
game-both scratchy two sackers. The
score:
