Oaks Blanked
By Fine Work
OF Fred Brown
Shinn Scores Both SacramenfO's
Runs, Gets Two Hits and
Steals Three Bases

With Fred Brown back in his old
stride. pitching the sort of ball that
brought him out in the limelight when
he wore a San Francisco uniform
few years ago, the Oaks could do moth
ing yesterday afternoon but trail help
lessly along in the wake of the Sena-
tors. Only in one inning did Oakland
figure and then Cameron was tossed
out a the plate. Before and after that
time it was Sacramento day, every
minute of il. The Senators found it
easy TO make a show of their opponents
nearly all the time.
The man who gave Brown more aid
than any of them was Shortstop Jimmy
Shinn. He registered both tallies. stole
three bases, slammed out a pair of
hits and played a game in the field
that made all the fans blink. Half of
them who were not watching Brown
had their peppers on Shinn all the time
Thus ii was that two out of the eight
cen men in action on the green field
came in for all the praise and all the
thoughts of the fans. And they were
deserving of ii all, too. for they played
the real sort of baseball.
Slim Nelson. always a rather hard
luck sort of slabster, did not vary from
his usual course His team fell down
behind him on at least one critical
occasion when the Senators registered
their second run. However, this can
very well be forgotten, for the first
run was enough to let Sacramento get
by on. 1t did not need the second one,
but Shinn figured that his team might
as well have it, anyhow, and he went
ahead and scored.
Shinn started the Senators on their
way in the third spasm. He led off
with a glancing hit which bounded
away from Cameron. Raymer fol-
lowed with another hot one down the
third base line and Gandil also re-
sponded, driving the ball TO right CEN
ter. Shinn came on with all the speed
at his command and handily crossed
the pan ere the ball was fielded in.
There was a lapse from the third
until the eighth and then the Senators
went for the final tally of the day, un-
aided by bingle. Two were out when
Shinn worked a pass. He started TO
steal and, after La Longe made a per-
feet peg, Raglan dropped the ball. leav-
ing Shinn safe. Gandil also came in
for a pass and they got away with a
double steal Hogan threw the ball
away at second and Shinn tore home.
Oaklands solitary chance was blown
in the fourth. With Cameron and Nc
Kune on second and first. the result of
hits, La Longe slapped one out to deep
left field. Cameron came numbering
home, but Hildebrand's peg to the plate
was perfect and the big first baseman
was frozen 10 feet from the goal.
The work of both teams in the field
was fast and thrilling. Hogan gave a
wonderful exhibition at third for the
Commuters, while Shinn cut off many
bingle by his one hand stops and
throws. After the third the Senator's
did not get a hit off Nelson, who also
winged eight of them to the bench on
three strikes. Brown had perfect con-
/ troll and not a Commuter got a base
on balls off him. The score:
