The San Francisco call., 1910-07-04

" There was nothing TO it but Oakland
" in the ?. m. contest. with the exception
: Of Ping" Bodies home run, which
marked up the lonely tally for the
Seals. Harry Sutor was pitted against
.HooIigan" Harkins on the pitching end
OF il, and the Oakland lad had all the
best OF the argument, although Sutor
was in splendid strikeout form. The
. punching Of hits at the proper time,
along with three raw errors on the part
Of the Seals. is a terse summary OF why
defeat visited the local team.
The Oaks broke into the money the
first time in the third bracket when
-Swander scored after drawing nice
single. taking second on Shaw's error OF
Wolverton's easy drive, third when
30 WoIverton was forced out at second by
: Ma aggart and coming home on Cam
2 erou's sizzling single TO center field
The oaks made it two in the sixth
3 when Hogan singled, and after Cut
shaw had been benched scored on
wares scientifically placed two bagger
down along the first base foul line. At
that Willie Hogan took desperate
.chance as he circled the bags from first
70 home and just did manage TO slice
under the ball as Nick Williams re-
s-ceiyed il at the plate There were
many in the crowd who protested that
Hogan was out, but from the press
stand it certainly appeared that Willie
got his trilbies on the bag before VIII
. jams touched him.
SOME BASEBALL LUCK
?. A weird sort Of baseball luck got two
more runs for the Oaks in the eighth
bracket. With Maggart benched, Cam
eron was safe on Tenants error, but
Hogan Immediately forced the big Scot
.out at second. No one could see
chance for score with two Oaks down,
but such was not the case. Hogan took
second on Cutshaws single and both
runners moved up peg on Miller's
wild pitch. the latter having been sent
in to replace SutOr. Baseball Luck
.-fwith a capital Il brought Hogan and
Guilty" in when Wares laid down
safe bunt and was hit in the back by
Auuer's throw TO first to cut him off.
Ping" Bodie got his nineteenth
homer Of the season when he waited
the ball over the right field fence for
the four sacks in the seventh inning.
While Bodies effort was mighty, it
brought honor to Ping" alone, as there
was no one on the bags ahead Of the
singing Frank 10 take advantage Of
his splendid effort.
r. There were enough features during
the game TO give the spectators the
worth Of their money.
In the first bracket Tenant singled,
took second on Lewis. sacrifice out and
third on Madden's single. It looked
like 2 sure run for the Seals. but dOu-
bic play. almost as fast a s the wireless,
put the crUsher on the procession. VIII
.liau1s sent a grass cutter down TO
wares, that looked like a bear. Wares
ate it up and hoped over on sec
0nd. where Madden was retired.
Wares whipped the pill with the speed
OF 2 bullet TO Cameron, who scooped it
in with one handed catch that was lit
tie short of marvellous.
SECOND STORY WARES
Right at the opening Of the third,
Wares again distinguished himself by
doing glaring second story stunt with
McArdle as the victim. McArdle slashed
out line drive that looked good for
hit in any league. Wares took a run
ming Jump at the ball and stuck out his
glove and captured the pill for an out.
In the fourth. Lewis of the Seals fur
nished the circus play Of the day. With
Mite on second and Harkins on first,
Swander lined out a scorcher that
lcAad as If il would tear a hole in
- right field fence. Both runners
started to advance. figuring on a sure
bit. But they failed 70 reckon with
Lewis. The Seals center fielder made
: sprint for the ball and just before it,
banged into the boards, Lewis leaped
hiqh in the air and scooped in the ball
get back to second, Lewis had whipped
double play.
