The San Francisco call., 1910-06-07

The series between the champions
and the Oaks, which opens this after
noon at Recreation park, promises to
be one OF the hardest fought sets of
battles Of the season. Both teams
are lighting for first place in the race
for the pennant. and the loss of a game
or two viii have effect either way.
Oakland has been playing great ball
for the last month, and the transbay
-tossers have taken the majority Of
games during the last series which
each Of the clubs in the league played
The Seals were beaten by Wolverton's
naen when they hooked up here few
weeks ago. However, the champions
only lost the series by a game and
they expect TO reverse matters this
time.
LOCALS ADD TO STRENGTH
The champions played excellent ball
in the south and the team is appar-
emily picking up in its hitting. With
the addition OF Browning and Sutor
to its ranks OF twirlers the local club
VIII be materially strengthened.
Both Browning and Sutor are two
Of the best tWirIers that have appeared
in z san Francisco uniform since the
inception of the Pacific Coast league.
The local club viii not be wanting for
pitchers, now that Manager Long has
succeeded in getting these men back
into the fold.
II is likely that Browning and Sutor
viii do slab duty during the present
series The Oaks will find them
harder game than some of the other
twirlers they have been up against
Browning Is IN good form. as he mas
been pitching consistently for the De-
troit Champions and is on edge
The Oaks Will present their regular
lineup unless Captain Wolverton's leg
fs-still bothering him. and in that event
Hogan will go over 10 third while Car
roll viii be sent out TO center field.
Moser has been Of great assistance 10
the Commuters, as he has been a steady
winner and appears TO be in the height
OF his form. He viii undoubtedly be
used twice during the series.
Long is confident that the Champions
will get away with the series and the
transbay fans are smoked up over their
team In fact there are many who fig
ure the Oaks the likely pennant win
ners.
ANGELS ON TOBOGGAN
The Angels will play Portland in the
north and Sacramento viii go south 70
entertain the Vernonites. Unless Henry
ems up his pitching department his club
viii soon be out Of the running. The
team has been playing good inside ball,
but the club is woefully shy Of pitchers.
L is up TO Berry to do something and
be must DO II quickly before il becomes
too late. Castlston, who was released
from the Cincinnati Reds, will probably
join the Angels in the north
Hosp has not reached his form and
Nagle is on the sick list, so this partly
explains the Angels slump. The injury
to Orendorn was a hard blow to the
team, as it is impossible to pick up a
man Of Orendorf's ability every day.
oRENDORFF RECOVERING
Catcher Jesse Orendorff of the Los
Angeles team, who was struck on the
head by a pitched ball during Sunday
mornings game. is slowly recovering.
The physicians in attendance expressed
the opinion that the player had passed
the critical stage and that there was
good chance for his recovery. The in
jured man is suffering from concussion
OF the brain. He is being attended at
the Fabiola hospital in Oakland. It
was an unfortunate accident, but one
which is likely to happen to any player.
He was struck while at bat by one
Of Pitcher Lively's curves
AS rule an accident Of this kind
ruins a player. as il makes him timid
and renders him useless as a batter.
Henry Berry. manager Of the Los An
cycles team. is seeing that the injured
player gets every attention.
