'zE|DER'S TRICK
PUTS SEALS IN
Daring Feat on the Bases Starts
Team on Sixth Inning
Rally

Rollie Zeider, ably assisted by a few
of his team mates, pulled off sixth
inning rally yesterday afternoon
which blasted the hopes of the sena-
tors after they had the game about
ready to be canned. 1t was not
rally Of strength nor hitting raily >
but a rally of strategy and daring
Zeider took one of his usual long
chances on the bases, and the sight OF
his tearing around completely upset
the Senator's, who neglected to put on
the anchor till after the balloon had
ascended beyond the first cloud layer
The sixth inning produced all this
fun, and the score was to then IN
favor of Sacramento. with their pros
poets of well earned victory shining
out very brightly. The round was
opened UP by J. Williams with hard
drive past second. Berry followed with
a bunt TO third. which Danzig tossed
away, and they both advanced a peg
McArdle forced Williams at the plate,
but Griffin had a hit slowed away In
his bat and he unloaded it just in time
to register Williams from third.
Here's where Zeider put the match
to the fireworks. Baum had just re-
placed Whalen in the box and cele-
brated the occasion by making zeider
force Griffin to second. But Zeider
was ready to pull something. He imme-
diately played off first and drew the
throw, at the same time 6ff1cing Nc
Ardle. who had advanced to third on
the last play. Mac took the tip and
sprinted for home.
Shinn winged the ball in nicely, but
Graham dropped it just he was
about to tag Mac. This put the Seals
one to the good. Zeider lost no time
and pulled up at third ere the sphere
had been recovered. Mundorff felt in
duty bound to come on with something,
and so he responded with a nice drive
to center and the game was broken up
for fair.
The big bunch of fans who reported
on the transbay lot saw a game to
their liking. 1t was full of hits and
runs and snappy playing all the way
along the line. Though crippled, the
Seals had the lighting spirit in their
systems, together with the ability to
clout the ball nearly to every remote
corner of the, lot.
Ralph Willis started to pitch, but he
was even worse than he was q. week
ago, and Manager Long put the rollers
under him in the third in favor of
Griffin. The Senators started after
Willis without even stalling. Shinn
ushered the game in with a double
and a single by Doyle and another two
two for a starter.
After Griffin assumed charge of the
Seal slab in the third the Senators
stopped scoring. They had already
made one off Willis in that spasm and
Long could plainly see that Ralph
would surely be slaughtered were he
allowed to remain a round longer. This
surely saved the game for San Fran
cisco. because Griffin allowed but one
more run.
For the first two innings the Seals
seemed to fade away under the spell
of Jimmy Whalen's curves, but this
influence was dispelled in the third,
when they awakened and began to
clout the ball bit. A run in the third
fourth and fifth rounds gave them an
even break with the enemy. and it
looked like long drawn out battle to
be till Zeider started.
Whalen was getting quite pound
ing when Captain Graham found an
out for him. Baum started well. but
that steal of Zeider's. followed so
closely by Grahams tumble at the
plate, dashed his hopes of victory.
However, the Seals figured to win the
game on their hitting alone. as they
smashed out II safe ones to Sacra-
mento's 9. The score:
