was hit by the pitcher and both Zeider
and HllGebrand singled. Melchoir

Tn the sixth the Seals went for their

Hllaebrand on second, SymOns baked
and the hrst run was in. After this
breach OF ethics Symons slipped Mohler
pass and. together with Hide, he
worked a double steal for the ninth
and last run Of the afternoon.
Sutor had all the Oaks on his staff
and probably could have made IL a
slut0ut but he slowed down a bit in
the sixth and two runs were rung up.
one Of these was the result of a nice
drive by Smith, while Killers passed
ball with TWO men out let the other
one over.
Sutor pitched q game that was nearly
as spectacular as last Sundays. He
seemed 10 be going after his own

after the first three innings. still every
body seemed TO be content to stick
around and await the final outcome.
The Oaks seemed to cOncede victory to
the Seals once the latter got off in the
lead and never showed anything that
looked like speed from that time on.
