Oakland Gets
Six Games Out
OF the Series
After Morning Setback, They
Come on and Win,
By WILLIAM ]. sLATTERY

There was only one anti-Oakland
break in the series between the trans
bay baseball aggregation and the
proud southern champions during the
last week. This mishap came yester-
day morning and Los Angeles broke in
with 2 to 0 victory on that occasion.
Everybody who knows baseball was
pulling for Oakland. Those five
straight victories seemed to put sort
of joy in the. hearts of the fans. None
of them could figure why. Oakland lost
the morning game, to 0, but this one
was tossed and it was all that saved
the southern champions from a beat
ing every day and a double drubbing
on Sunday.
Anyhow, the series ended with six
for Oakland and one for Los Angeles.
The only consolation we have is that
San Francisco was not playing here.
1t was bad enough to lose four out of
six to Sacramento.
The sensational string of Oakland
victories is one of the worst setbacks
that the successful Angel champions
have suffered this year, but at the same
time it is a balm for the Seals.
BIG CROWD SEES GAME
The afternoon game at the Valencia
street lot attracted a wonderful crowd,
which filed every available seat IN the
park. It was an Oakland multitude
through and through, and consequently
the victory of the transbay crew
seemed to start the hearts of all the
fans aleaping
Oakland got out in front and cap
tured the game in the first two innings.
Tozer was weak and wild from the ex-
ertions of too many strenuous battles
of late and he could not set the pace,
while the Commuters had the light or
battle in their eyes. Kelly, the hrst
man up, walked. He stole and took
third on Lewis out to first. Maggert
registered him with fly to right.
An innings rest brought Oakland
back into the strenuous grind in the
third. The reliable Kelly started the
rally once more by waiting for base
on balls Lewis bunted him on his way
and then Maggart took advantage or
the unsteady ToZer and was slipped
another pass.
Kelly stalled the Angel battery and
nulled off a pretty delayed steal all by
himself. Hogan quickly responded with
a nice drive over second, which put
Kelly across. Tozer was attacked with
another fit of wildness and passed Cam
eron. This filled up the sacks with but
one down. Cutshaw saw his cnance
and lifted a long fly to center. Mag
CART sprinted and beat the throw In TO
the plate. This proved to be the run
which won for Oakland.
The only inning of prosperity which
the Angels enjoyed was the seventh,
and then they gave everybody In the
park a mild attack of the jimmies by
going for two runs.
OAKS SHOW CLASS
The work of the Oakland team came
up to the standard of the stunts pulled
off during the early games of the
series. The transbay aggregation
showed the class and played the ball
that always wins. Though Tonneson
was a bit wild and unsteady at times
he could always depend upon the men
behind him to come to his rescue. The
score:

The Oaks suffered their lone setback
of the week on the Oakland ground in
the morning game when the Angels
slipped it. over, to 0. The masterly
pitching of Koestner turned the trick.
Oakland played a tough luck game.
The first Angel run was made in the
opening inning. Daley lifted high
fly right in front of the plate, which
Byrnes misjudged. After Goodwin had
been disposed of George Wheeler
cracked out long double and Daley
tore all the way around. 1t was a
tight face from then till the ninth,
and in the last spasm the southerners
gra bbed another one. Howard laced a
three cushion swipe over Maggart's
head and Jud Smith was there with a
long fly which allowed the runner to
canter home.
The grounds were crowded to the
limit and the roofing was strong for
Oakland. Manager Billy Reidy seemed
to be in the midst of despair to think
that his only defeat of the week must
be registered on the home grounds
after five successive wins. The score:
