quently that the fans were again look
ing for an Angel victory, but the dope
was upset. 1t was all the other way.
The Oaks took the lead at the outset
and kept increasing their advantage
throughout the affray
Henry Berry trotted out a recruit
named Delhi, but he did not make
much of an impression. He did not
seem to have anything besides his
glove.
On the other hand Slim Nelson was
working well. The big fellow mixed up
an assortment which was foreign to the
Southerners. The boys behind Nelson
also worked in faultless fashion.
Nelson had the Angels swinging at
his curves in foolish fashion, and all
their efforts netted them during the
nine frames were two lone hits
The oaks got going in the second
frame. Carroll doubled and Cutshaw
went out. Cameron came along with
a single to right and Carroll scored
Cutshaw singled in the fourth stole
second and scored on Cameron's two
base hit to center
In the seventh Wares doubled to left
and Swander came along with a beau
tiful rap. The ball sailed over the right
field fence and two came home
Carroll was hit by a pitched ball in
the eighth and Cutshaw was given first
on balls. Both stole and then Mite
forced Carroll at the place. Nelson
singled and Cameron scored. Mite

Both Meikle and StrickIett pitched a
nice article of ball. with the shade in
favor of the big San Francisco busher.
lie had good control all the time,
plenty of speed. though he was a bit
clumsy in fielding his position.
Stricklett was not responsible for the
two San Francisco runs, both of them
being the result of bungling errors by
Haley and Ingram on easy chances
which should have been devoured with
out any difficulty
The old time lucky seventh put the
baby Seals on the board with their
initial run. Conway opened up with a
safe one, stole and got to third on
Conrads overthrow. Then he foolishly
tried to register on a soft grounder to
Ingram and was easily nailed. Porter
field, who forced Conway, also tried to
steal, but they caught him also, so
things looked bad for the boys
However, Stricklett made the mis-
take of walking Atthowe and ,Meikle
followed with a nice drive. Jimmy
Lewis bounced one down to Haley, who
booted it all over the lot, and during
the mixup Atthowe took chance and
sprinted to the plate. McKune also
lined one to Haley, who fumbled again.
Tommy Sheehan could have broken up
the game, but he faded on a grounder
to third.
The little Seals kept right on the Job
in the next spasm. and this time they
succeeded in turning the trick. After
Waring had drawn a pass Carman sac
rificed and Conway was retired on an
infield out, sending Carman to third
Porterfield tore a fast one to Ingram,
who picked the ball up clean. but
pegged badly to first and let Waring
tear home with the winning run. The

when it was over. Jeffries' speed was
a trifie better than last Monday. but it
was evident that he still needs a lot OF
boxing practice to be anything like his
former self. Bag punching and hand
ball followed. and when the stunts were

Sam Berger thought the undefeated
champion was a bit off in his work
He's worried" said Berger, "and

Demands for Mechanical Power.


Some mechanical operations require
surprisingly large amount OF power
while others are performed with much
less than the novice might expect: the
secret is usually found in the speed at
which the machine runs. The auto
mobile. rated at from fifteen to sixty
horse power, will serve as an example.
IL is heavier than an ordinary carriage
and consequently is harder to pull.
even on level ground on an upgrade.
where the weight of the machine is
being raised the height OF the hill, the
difference is much more marked, for no
refinement Of bearings can reduce the
pull due to gravity. The vehicle drawn
by a horse seldom exceeds a speed OF
ten miles per hour: il that speed were
increased to twenty miles. moderate
automobile speed, the power required
to draw it would be doubled. even
though the actual pull remained the
same: a matter of fact the pull
would have to he greatly increased,
perhaps doubled, in which case four
times the original power would be re-
CURED. The resistance of the air is
trifiing at ten miles per hour. at TWEEN
ty IL becomes serious, and when the
speed is increased to forty miles or
more a great deal of power Is required
to overcome it; an idea of the wind
pressure on an automobile may be oh
tanned from that felt on the body when
exposed to a gale Of wind whose veloc-
ity rarely exceeds forty miles per hour.
The increase Of resistance with speed
is much more marked in water than
in afr. as illustrated by the torpedo boat
and freighter.
