right field fence. making il to l, the
way it finished. This hit was a dupli-
cate of the one Ping beat the White
Sox with the first Sunday they ap-
peared here. and ii would have gone
as homer on any lot.
Oakland made a desperate effort to
put one over in the seventh but fast
fielding grabbed the chance. Carroll
started with a safe drive and took a
big lead off first. Nelson clouted a
fast one to right and Carroll kept on
his way. Melchoir made a fine peg to
McArdle who retired Carroll at the
plate, and Berry whipped the ball back
TO second in time to catch Nelson.
Berger was steady throughout, not
withstanding the way the Oaks ham,
mered him to every remote corner of
the lot. He walked only two men, and
both of these passes were issued near
the close of the game. Had it not
been for the support he received 1t is
very likely that Berger would have
blown his game long before the eighth
inning.

game and the fans were on their toes

Thirteen times its members slammed
the bali TO safe part of the lot, and
still only one man made the circuit
of the paths.
In the first inning the Commuters
took three healthy bingles to start
them on their way, and yet nobody
got as far as second base.
The fine. balmy weather was a treat
to the players as well as to the fans
They reveled in it. All the sore
muscles were limbered up and all the
kinks taken out of the stiff arms. The
Seals showed TO better advantage than
the Commuters, Mundorf's slight error
being the only misplay that marred an
otherwise perfect score sheet in the
fielding column.
