BY JAY pAYnOsON


Recovering their batting eyes with
suddenness that was startling to the
fans, to say the least, the village Cut
ups. aided and abetted by the depend
able Roy Hit on the mound, trimmed
the Commuters yesterday Dy d 70
score in a game featured by the heaNy
,cloutng of the locals and the hlgn
class twirling of Hit. Christian went
on the mound for the visitors, but ne
did not scare any of the Vernon pat
ers at any stage of the game. Carlisle,
first man to face him, knocked lhe
ball almost over the Chutes theater
for a home run and Coy put the horse
hide out into the Chutes lake Iof an
other. while eight other blngles, some
singles and some doubles. helped OUT
considerably. Wolverton sent PAIR OF
pitches out to warm up about the
sixth inning, but got discouraged be-
fore the inning was finished ana let
Christian take his medicine all the
way. ,
ging bees, in which nearly all the SluS-
ging happily was done by the nome
team Runs were piled up in sucn
regular order that everybody seemed 10
be enthused and Paul Browning was not
needed to root in any scores. Oakland
did not have an off-day at bat, or
anywhere else, as they played their
usual snappy game and performed
sensational fielding stunts, but they
found Hit still the same old unbeat-
able curve artist that has trimmed all
the other Coast league teams, and af-
ter they had whammed the air until
they were blue in the face, they gave
I'D and philisophically took the pre-
scription that was made out for them
only occasionally could a Commutor
knock the ball out of the diamond and
then it seemed to fall into some walt
ing fielders mitt.
Scoring began in the first inning
when Carlisle dumped the bah into
the Chutes lot for a homer. Two more
runs were added to the total for Yer
non in the third and three more came
in the eighth. Oakland got its only
run in the fourth inning and was lucky
to escape a shutout. Only in two in
nings did Hit allow them to get more
than one bingle and only in four in
nines did they connect safely with him
at all. Seven hits represent the total
number of safeties they gathered,
yielding one run, while four errors IN
their fielding operations helped the YER
non boys to make their lead onesided
and gloriously so.
After Carlisle had made his home
run swat in the first, the Villagers
cut it out until the third Two runs,
off a double, a walk and an error,
were registered. Happiness walked
and after getting down to first, he
called upon Kittenish Brashear to run
for him Hit flew to center and Car
Isle doubled to right, Kitty stopping
at third because he did not consider
the risk of trying to score justified at
that stage of the game. Burrell MT
nasty grounder between Wares legs
and Brashear and Carlisle scored.
The only run scored by the Com
muters was hung up in the fourth.
Wares doubled to left and w. Hogan
almost knocked Fisher and Roy Bra
shear down with a sizzling grounder
that bounced and frenked its way al
most to right field after topping Fisher
head first on to the ground and up
setting Brashear, who finally ran 1t
down and Gagged it long enough to
throw it back to the diamond. Wares
however, got home while the terrific
battle was going ON between Mr.. Ball
and the Vernon infielders
AS a parting shot the Cutups scored
three times in the eighth inning, their
last time at bat. One home run, d
double, two singles and two free
transportatiOns brought this happy re-
suit about After Roy Brashear had
failed by a narrow margin in his eff
forts at putting the ball over the center
field fence, Hogan knocking down the
fly while backed up against the fence,
Coy tried it on and succeeded because
he raised the bah so high and hit 1t
so hard that it could not refuse to go
over. Coy strolled around the sacks to
the enthusiastic applause of the fans.
Lindsay doubled to left, Fisher walked
and Lindsay was caught trying to get
to third. Happy walked and Hit beat
out Wallop down to Cameron, scor-
ing Fisher. while Willett who was run
ming for Hogan, got home when Mite
was unable to stop a high throw to the
plate by Cameron.
There was enough hitting and scoring
in the game to keep the fans enthused
and excited, and it was one of the most
enjoyable games of the season, espe-
cialy after the Villagers were found
on the long end of the score. The
same teams play again this afternoon,
but will go to Vernon park to do it.
Hensling probably will do the slanting
for Vernon and Nelson may go in the
box for the Commuters. Nelson is
some pitcher and may be a bit trouble
some, but Happy figures on winning
and is proud of the news that his boys
are back in the game with their batting
eyes
Following is the tabulated score of
fhp game.
