The Oaks seem to be on their way at
last, and the fondest dreams of the
transbay fans are becoming realized
at this prolonged stage of the game
The finish was to 0 again yesterday
afternoon on the Valencia street lot,
and Los Angeles had the zero. This is
the answer: There were many reasons
why the southern champions could not
get within shouting distance of the
plate. but they never put man over
so comment on this particular issue
does not go with the fans. Oaklands S
victory was popular, and nobody had
regret when the game was over.
Christian was the boy who did most
of the mystifying work. After the
southpaws, Nelson and Tonneson, had
fooled the Angels on the two previous
days. the fans hardly dared to hope
that a humble right handler would be
equal to the emergency of making it
three in a row, but the same right
handler had the job bottled up, and he
did his work well. aided by the clever
way in which the men behind him
performed.
The Angels took fooIhardy chances
on the bases in the earlier innings, and
thus tossed off their splendid oppor-
tunities for victory. The Oaks played a

tells in baseball and this is why Oak
land won Oakland not only won, but
il showed that southern gang up like a
flock of brush performers. 1t looked
like class against bull strength all the
time.
Koestner held the Oaks under the in
fiuence of his benders until the fifth
period, and then they started to break

responsible for the turn, because he
booted McKunes grounder. Lewis laid
down nice sacrifice and Christian beat
a scratchy one to short. Kelly was
behind a good drive to left, which
registered Terry.
Oakland was right in the game again
in the next round. After Hogan had
singled against the center field fence,
Cameron bunted and the throw to sec
ond was too late to catch Hogan, so
both men were safe. Cutshaw offered
himself at a sacrifice. and McKune
sent a grounder to short, on which
they nailed Hogan at the pan, but Carl
Lewis made up for this shortcoming
by sneaking in with a good single and
registering Cameron.
The eighth brought the last run of
the game. Cameron sent the boys on
their way with two cushion smack
over the first bag. He pulled sur
prise by stealing third. only to be
forced at the plate by McKune. The
artful Terry, however, got to second
during the mixup. and once more Carl
Lewis responded with a slashing single

Oakland might have made more runs
had its players deemed it necessary.
but they all seemed to know that the
Angels were helpless. There was no
question about this after the early
stages Once Christian got into his
stride he was the king of the field.
Only one hit was made off his twisters
after the fourth round, and this did
not do any good.
The Angels ran bases like lot of
plowmen. They tossed off four chances
in the first four innings, no less than
three of them being speared while try
ing to get home. 1t did not look like
the old Los Angeles system at all.
Something was lacking. The hearts of
the southerners seemed to take flight
after they had exhausted most of their
good efforts in the early stages.
The fans were yelling to Reidy to
take Christian out at first, and their
Judgment seemed about right, too, but
the game little pitcher began to cut
loose with a new line of benders in the
fifth spasm, and from that time on 1t
was a procession. None of the Angels
could touch him, while the men behind
him played real National league ball.
