BODIES HOMER IS
.CRUSHER TO OAKS
Ping, True to His Sobriquet, Brings
Home Bacon for Seals

In the presence Of a big midweek
crowd Ping" Bodie. with a crushing
wallop that drove the ball high over
right field fence, hung the Indian sign
on the Commuters yesterday afternoon
at Recreation park with his fifteenth
home run of the season. Bodie made
MS hit In the fourth inning and stepped
on the four bags for the home team
while they were searching for the ball
TWO more runs We're brought in by the
Seals. one in the second and the last in
: the seventh, while the Oaks had to con-
tent themselves with a solitary score
IN the seventh. Carroll slipping in on a
wing that Maggart dropped into center
helo. Bodie was easily the star of the
day EonnesOn almost refusing to let
him hat the ball after his drive into
rlg}lt in the early part of the game. In
the sixth inning he walked him to first
and let McArdle fly out TO Swander
with q hit to right field, closing the in
ming with Bodie running over the
ground.
Aside from Bodies hit and a pretty
bunt by Witt in the fifth, which landed
him on the first station, there were few
features in the game. Tonneson and
.Pearce formed Oakland's battery, while
H1astleY took the box for Longs men,
with Berry catching. Both twirled a
steady game, but the local men seemed
able to connect up with Tonneson's
curves more often than the visitors
were able 10 figure Eastley. Had VOL
Nerton's aggregation won yesterday
they would have tied Portland for first
place in the league. AS 1t is they keep
The third position.
The first inning was without fea-
.ture, but in the second things got ac-
hive with Tenant working from bag to
f,xr
!. 70 TonnesOn; Lewis, who swatted a two
.bagger, and BOdie. whose hit brought
Tenant in. Carroll assisted things
somewhat by fumbling the ball. Nc
-Ardle made first on Wares error; East
ley took first, being hit by the ball, but
Witt ended things with a pop 10 Wares,
who held on.
The third had nothing TO offer except
3 steal to second by Cutshaw Of the
Oaks in the first half. Mohler had him
out, but mixed the ball up with his
feet and hands so that the runner was
easily safe. In the second half Ten
nant was walked TO first and got as far
as second by q wild throw of Tonne
sons. In the fourth Oakland went out
in one. two, three order, Hogan, Cam
eron and Carroll all hitting, but getting
nowhere. It was in the second half
that Bodie drove the sphere over. the
diamond and out of sight. Lewis, who
went dued0 OF nlflls new out 10 Ma g
Kart. and when BOdie connected with
his bat the fans yelled themselves
hoarse. McArdle followed with a sin
gle, but was caught stealing second,
while Eastley famed.
Wits pretty bunt, which put him on
first, brought the bleachers down in
the second half of the fifth. Mohler
advanced him with an ideal sacrifice,
but he was stopped with a jerk at
third while trying TO get over the
ground on a hit by Melchior to first.
Both teams went out in rotation in the
sixth. Bodie alone getting as far as
first, where he was walked. In the
seventh Carroll securedsthe first hit the
oaks gathered from Eastley, sending
the bali past short. Swander put him
over To second with drive over that
bal 2 and Carroll came in on Maggart's
long fly 10 center, scoring the only run
for the waits. In the second half East
ley swatted TOnneson for a double
bz gger Witt sent him to third with
sacrifice and Mohler brought him in
with hit in the outfeld. The eighth
and ninth had little 20 offer except a
steal by Lewis, who jumped from first
to second in the eighth. Score:
