SCHIMPF PROVES A
BARRIER TO
OAKLAND
FreSnO'S TwirIer Ends the VIM
ming Streak of Invaders After
Fourteen Victories

IT was up to Red Schimpf to throw
the boulder in front of the Oaklanders,
and he did the job with neatness and
dispatch yesterday at the Grove street
park and put an end to the winning
streak of the Invaders The fair haired
boy delivered an assortment that car
ried the right English, and Cy More
ing's men found it the most difficult
task to straighten out the twists of
the Fresno slabman, which will go
d long way in explaining why Oakland
did not win it's fifteenth straight game.
The Fresno slabman was wound up
like six day clock, and he had enough
in reserve to go on for many innings.
His right wing was going right, and
what he threw over the pan had plenty
of smoke. The only run accumulated
by the Invaders came in the fourth
frame through the means of high and
lofty heaving.
McHale struck out, but the third one
got away from the catcher and Nc
Donough heaved the ball over the ini-
the runner. Mae took advantage of
the wild throw to beat it to second.
Carney heaved in from right field to
second and again the throw was a
bad one, and McHale beat it to third.
Mac scored on Nealon's hit.
This was the only inning where the
Oakland fans had any hope. Few Of
the Invaders ever got as far as flrst
base, however, and 1T looked like a
Fresno victory all the way.
Moskiman was on the firing line for
Oakland, and the Doc pitched his usual
steady game. Outside of the third
frame, when they touched him up for
three hits, Fresno did not have much
success with his delivery.
Kruger started the run making IN
the third frame, when he picked out
a nice one for a bingle. McDonough
followed suit Schimpf could not do
any good, he forced Kruger at
third. Tracy was safe on a helders
choice Davis hit. one to McKune. who
fielded it. but made a wild peg to third
in an effort to catch McDonough, who
trotted home on the error. On Kuhn's
single Davis and Tracy came home.
Fresno got another one in the NINTH
when Kuhn singled and came home on
Ragan's three base hit to center field.
The game was the fastest of the
season, being completed in an hour and
fifteen minutes, which goes to show
that the caliber of ball being put up
by the outlaws is a high class brand

warming up before the game, and the chances
are that he will be forced TO play the bench

Oakland gang.

noon Long will put him In to pitch against

Oakland has turned big Bridges loose He
has the making of a good pitcher. but he must

Just what Oakland has been in need Of since
Umpire Jimmy Toman certainly did not give
oorbett any the best of it on strikes and balls.
In fact, it looked as though Toman had it
in for Joe. Time after time Corbett would
curve the ball right over the inside and OUT
side corners, but Toman always yelled ball. y
1t was the worst exhibition of work in this
line that has been this year. Toman
probably is not used to the brand of curves
nulcn NOfDttL tossts, lot IL Ne knew any InluS
about the game he could not have treated the
pitcher so very shabbily. Corbett lost heart
toward the finish, and no wonder. He had

From now on the Pacific Coast league is
the only league in the country which is au-
thorized to take players from the outlaw Cali
fornia state league. President Ewing was
advised of this yesterday afternoon by the
national commission This means that neither
Benny Henderson nor any of the other black
baseball club outside of the Coast league cir
cult. In the event that any of them do
come into the fold they will have to play
here from three to fve years before they will
be eligible to draft by either the National or
American leagues. This settles the long con-
troversy between the big powers to what
disposition is to be made of the outlaw players
