Seals Are on the Job
With Another One

-Four and Win With Four
TO Spare
By w. j. SIaftery

Well. it's four without switch for
the bows and they have not stopped
Vet. They are playing the sort or pail now
that wins a game OF ball every day and
a. double header Sunday and holidays.
i looked as if the Beavers would put
the rollers under them yesterday wheh
they had that old game, 4 to 0, IN the
fourth inning, but the Seals haa TWO
good chances, and they overlooked
reirber. These two innings netted nine
runs and lifted the Seals safely out OF
the cellar for a couple of days, any
how.

bustion were pulled OF during the
game than the fans have laid eyes on

NcCredie and his men faced a hope

the Seals polished off their afternoon
work with five runs.
RECEIVES AWFUL LACING
Roy Mcfarland. the former Oakland
Slabster whom McCredie signed up
shortly before the game was called,
came in for an awful lacing in the
fourth inning, and after two men hao
crossed the pan on him he was chased
and Rube Kinsella came in to do the
honors. He was some pitcher TIL
the eighth, when his teammates fell
down on him and then ii was good
night
In the meantime Cap Mohler was
having his troubles with box men, Os-
car Jones shoots looked like cocoa
nuts suspended in mid air. and the
Beavers gave them a fine hammerlng
once they opened their eyes in the
third and fourth. Salisbury, the slow
ball boy who took up Oscars burden
got along very nicely till the seventh

and tossed to the plate. Curtis. how
ever, beat the toss and the score was
all.
