SEALS FIGURE AS
VERY GENEROUS
DONATORS
Gift Day at Recreation Park
Nets an Easy Victory for
the Senators
BY William J. SIattery

II was donation day at the ball park
yesterday afternoon, and as the Seals
We're the hosts, they displayed the true
spirit of generosity and slipped the
victory to the Senator's Why the boys
did not have the decency to do the slip
ping in a regular bona fide nine round
contest nobody seems to know but
they broke the ethics of pure club hos
pitality by requiring their guests to
caper around the lot for an additional
round. Everybody was sore for stick
ing it out when there was no necessity
for anything of the sort.
The main donator for the home team
was Ping Bodie. and he made a fine ex-
hibition of himself in the opening round
when the game should have been broken
up for all time beyond the question of
a doubt. But the best the boys did was
to gather a pair of runs on four as
healthy basellits as ever left bat on
any mans diamond. Oh, it was awful
that bone headed work that transpired,
and Bodie led the procession.
Here's the way it went: Mohler dou-
bled against the right field fence after
Zeider had faded away. Bodie came on
with wallop to left and Tenant put
down a nice little bunt Fitzgerald
fielded the ball to Doyle, but there was
no chance to put it on the Seals cap
tain, so everybody was as safe as the
money in the mint.
Along came Melchoir with grand
bingle against the right field fence
that should have acted on the bases like
a broom on a dirty floor. Everybody
should have arrived, but Bodie put his
head down and simply hugged that
bag. The coachers yelled frantically
IN ii To ch Maf
choir and Tenant nearly ran him
down. But Ping simply stuck there and
Mohler was the only man registered.
Lewis came up and famed with the
paths still alive with Seal runners, but
little Claude Berry punched a crack
ing nice single to short center. Bodie
probably would have stood still even
then had not somebody started him on
his way. Tenant also tried to make
the plate on this one, but Zamlock's
peg was perfect and the big first sacker
was nailed
The Seals went at it again in the
next period with two down. and put
their last one through. Zeider hit
through short and Mohler followed with
another safe drive. Bodie slapped the
leather to right, and Zeider came all
the way around. Graham fumbIed the
throw in and Mohler also made the
pan, but was forced to go back to
third because of the ground rule.
Houses single and FIanagan's double
for the first time in the second. Then
they rested until the sixth when they
went for another one. Shinn singled,
advanced on Doyle's out at first and
tore in on Raymer's we'll placed wal
lop TO center. Raymer tried TO make
second on the throw. bnt they crushed
him and the inning ended.
In the very next inning Sacramento
gathered the tally that made the game
a deadlock. After Flanagan had
slapped one against the right field
fence. Zamlock forced him at the Sec
ond bag. The youngster stole second.
and started 70 steal third. Berry made
very wide peg to the base and the
busher had little trouble in tying it up.
The Senator's finished fast and put
two through instead of the necessary
one in round 10. Eastley passed Zam-
lock and Graham hunted. The Seal
pitcher threw to second. but the toss
men up and Shinn flied to center. Char
ley Doyle. however. produced the lit
tie bingle past second that won the
