Oakland 5, Sacramento 2

Charley Baum was not himself when
he stepped into the box against the
Oaks in the morning game. Anybody
could see that. Christian started it
off by beating out an infield hit. after
which Duffey Lewis drove a hard one
to the outtield and Hogan produced a
double cushion shot. which scored

Duffey Lewis made an Oakland victory
apparently certain by driving out a
hard bingle. which put McKune and
Boice over the jumps.
Oakland made two more ere the
game was ended, but these were not
needed and therefore nobody paid
much attention to them. The Sena-

Oaks Win First:
Then Senators
Switch the Cut
Ehman Pitched Fine ShufOul
Game, While Wiggs Gets
Ragged Support

The Oaks and the Senators filed in
with a sort of accommodating double
header on the transbay lot yesterday
Both teams acted in a very clublike
manner, splitting with the glory even
up for the day. Oakland had the bat
ting mania in the morning and fairly
smothered the Senators. 5 to 2. But
there was sudden switch in the after
noon, which brought despair to the
Oaks. They all blew up near the fin
ish and the Senator's landed, to 0.
For six innings, it was as clocklike
game of ball as anybody would care
to gaze upon. Both Wiggs and Ehman
unwound all they had and the felders
behind them worked like three time
champions. As the day was fine and
conditions bright, the fans settled
| themselves back and waited for the
extra innings which they felt in their
bones were on the card. However.
they all forgot to reckon with the
players on the Oakland team. all of
whom tried to scramble into the bal
loon which went up in the seventh.
With one out of the way. Meyers
hit, into the left garden and quickly
stole second. Gandil bounced a nice
! little easy. one down the third base
/ line but Willie Hogan threw the ball
| at the fagpole instead of at Lewis on
! first base The result was that Myers
tore home and Gandil got as far the
second station. He had to wait there
| for only moment. because Terry Nc
Cune booted Raymer's hit all over the
| lot and this meant a run.
The Senators, realizing that they had
the Oaks sidestepping, waded right in
again in the eighth, Buck Ehmar show
ing his eliminates that he was on the
Job by pokiag a double into right field.
Darringer advanced him on a hit and
then stole Myers beat out pretty
/ bunt which gave Ehman the desired
chance to register. This took all the
heart out of Wigs. who heaved a very
wild pitch and Darringer was across
with the fourth and last rum
Ehman must be given credit for
pitching a splendid game, and the men
behind him for playing the real old
! championship ball in the tight places.
| Up to the ninth inning. Ehman held

which Carl Lewis picked out in the

ninth but a double play scrambled the
eggs. Hogan led off with nice

a low grounder down to third, which
Darringer speared and doubled ur

SOCIETY OF CAPITAL.
The Gallows, That Is, Oppression, Con-
fessed to be Its BulWark

Melbourne. Australia. September II.
During the recent miners strike at
Broken Hill. a poor crazed breaker
boy named Charlie Ross lost his head
and killed a man. He was at once
coQdemned to death The labor pa
pers of the continent raised u storm
of protest. and In attempting TO quiet
the storm Premier Kidston used the
expression the bulwarks Of society
must not be weakened"
For this laudation OF the gallows as
the "bulwarks of society the Pre-
mier has since been soundly spanked
from several quarters. When the Pre-
mIer talks about weakening the bull
warI5s of society" by reprieving a con-
demned man. he evidently does so In
Ignorance OF the fact that in other
civilized lands the death penalty has
been abolished without involving the
social order in ruin
And as 1t Is a very sorrowful thing
that n statesman should still harbor
such brutal fallacy, We OFFER here
with some testimony for his enlight-
enment:
In four States OF Michl-
gan. Wisconsin, Maine. and Rhode Is
land-with total population twelve
times greater than that of Queensland,
capital punishment Is abolished.
In England capital punishment was
abolished as long ago as 1926.
In Holland capital punishment was
abolished in 1870
In Italy capital punishment was
abolished In 1883.
Portugal rid itself of this relic of
barbarlSm in 1867
Roumania In 1864 decided it had no
further use for The public eXccutioner,
Switzerland abolished capital pun
ishment in 1874.
A great deal has been said in the
Blood press about the case of Switz-
erlnnd. and what has been said has
been misrepresentation so gross as to
almost amount to criminal falsehood.
IT was said that the bulwarks Of
society were so weakened by the re-
moyal of the gallows that after five
years experience Switzerland restored
the death penalty TO Its criminal code.
and hastily dragged the gallows back
TO prop up the threatened social IA
