Oakland, 8; Los Angeles, I
After Umpire McGreevy's primary
course in First Lessons of Baseball
as She Ought to Be Played" had sunk
deep into the, minds and hearts of the
Oakland team, including and in par
ticular those of Manager Bill Reidy,
the men from the north woke out of
their trance and played real ball. They
gave the fans an excellent imitation
of the game yesterday, and by swat
ting Big Bill Tozer stiffly in two in
nings they managed to establish a
safe lead over the Dillonites. Also,
the Angels helped a little, for yester-
day was d bad day for the tlelders.
The Seraphs' team work was notice.
able for its absence and it was bit
of old sandlot ball that gave the Oaks
their two runs in the eighth that shot
them ahead of the locals. Tonneson
came back into his own and held the
southern men to a close hitting game
all the afternoon, though they man
aged to get several chances to score.
But every opportunity was lost or
thrown away, and when the Oaks had
the chance they made the most of 1t.
That is the reason why the Com
mVters won.
Oaks Find Tozer
For four innings Tozer was as good
to the northern stickers as mother
when she refuses the youngster a piece
of hot mince pie. He was awfully
conscientious about it, but not to the
satisfaction of the visiting team. How
ever, Bill began to be found in the
fifth. and when q batting array gets
to hitting a pitcher truly and con-
tinuously he must either take a big
brace or accept beating. Iozer
he ~nnafN6H the IL
Tentative. Only one error was chalked
un behind him, but there were several
others coming, for the inf1eld by care
full play and the right amount or
ginger should have enabled Tozer to
pull out.
Cutshaw's trusty stick started
trouble in the fifth. He came up hrst
for the Oaklanders. and landed square
lv on the ball for a clean single TO
center field. Terry McKune swung his
solid muscle on another good one, and
heat It to first. Thomas sent the run
ners along with a pretty sacrifice, and
then Tonneson put an edge on his own
bv scoring Cutshaw on a long secri-
flee fly to Ross in deep center
BeaII Hits His Stride
John Beall helped himself onward
toward that medal in the sixth, and
incidentally showed that his old hit
ting mower has not been dropped in
the dust around the Chutes part hrst
base. He doubled to center field score
hoard and the ball bounded high in
the air, Only the big sign on top OF
the score plank kept the hit from ais
appearing over the fence for a circuit
tally, Wheeler's out advanced the
Chicagoan, and Jud Smith raped an
other over the Beall groove bringing
tha fVinR run. lDr,
smith got third on Delmas' out, but
died there.
In the seventh the Angels made a
bid for a winning tally, but were not
quite strong enough. Seemingly re-
solved not to take any more chances,
Reidy's devoted band got together in
the eighth and hammered out Two
Rms. which seemed to take all the
fight out of the locals.

and was advanced on Christians sim
gle infield w. Hogan sacrificed the
man along, and then Cameron came up
with a mighty stick and good inten7
tions. He drove a rafting liner TO
Beau, but the big fellow has been

he pulled away from the correct thing,
He returned to Jud Smith at third
the latter whipped the ball to Hughie
smith behind the plate, and Maggert's
run died aborning. Kelly came next
however. Kelly did just the thing the
Angel fans didn't want him to do, for

two runs over He drove between
short and third, Jud went after the
ball, missed it, it struck him and
rolled away, and kept on through Del
mas scoring Christian and Cameron.
Two moor plays by Jud and Delmas
gave Cutshaw and McKune their bases
in safety, filling the circuit. Delmas,
however, cut off Kelly from scoring
and put the side out. Neither side got
near third thereafter The score:
