REAR IN eleventh

for Easy Mark and "Cutfy"
Brings Home Bacon
By JOSEPH MURPHY

After the Oaks had virtually tossed
the game of in the eleventh frame yes
terday afternoon, they came on in their
half Of the same frame and won out
with q timely batting streak. 1t wee
one OF those finishes. which causes you
to neglect your work and go TO the
bali park the next afternoon looking
Ior some more Of 1t.
There were TWO on bases and two
were down in the eleventh when Brack-
enridge. who was doing the firing. pur-
pOsely passed WOlverton and filed the
bases. content TO measure his prowess
against Cutshaw's batting ability. The
clever little Vernon HEAVIER made a
mistake which cost him the game. for
Guilty proved 20 be the proper person
at the right time. He leaned against
one Of Bracl1enridge's straight ones
which sailed out TO deep center and
TWO cantered home. which was one
more than Vernon had.
The game really belonged to the
Oaks. and if ii had not been for
couple Of battery errors in the eleventh.
which gave H0gan's team a run on q
silver platter. MOser would have scored
a shuJOut. II looked TO be enough,
and the fans counted upon Vernon go
ing ahead of the oaks in the race.
]doWeNcr- the old saying that basebaL
game is never won until the last man
is out came true again
Brackenridge's trouble in locating
the plate was probably responsible for
his undoing He was having consid-
erable difficulty in getting his curves
TO break over the rubber, and not car
ing TO pass Cutshaw in the eleventh
he put over straight one which Cut
shaw slammed out for victory.
BATTLE or MoUNDNEN
i was strictly battle of moundmen.
They we're the bosses of the field
throughout. Both AIoser and Bracken-
ridge kept the boys going south. They
haJtied hard. for q victory meant a
goQd deal at the present standiHg Of
abe clubs.
While an occasional hit broke the
n1onotonv Of the afternoon. the heav-
ers looked after the situation when
they were called upon The Oaks an
neNed two bingIes in the third frame.
but Breckenridge tightened up at the
right time. Moser went along pitch
ing consistent ball one hit at q time
was all he allowed in any single inning.
Coy ushered in the eleventh by swat
ting one over Wares head. Lindsay
sacrificed. Brown flied out. 1t was
right here shat the Oaks insisted that
the Eernonires- should take the con
and allowed a passed bail. Coy moving
along to third. Then -Moser's arm got
out Of its socket and he heaNed wildly.
and Coy scored on q wild pitch.
However the Oaks redeemed them
p selves I'm their half by putting up a
finish which showed q bit Of gameness.
Hogan started of by lining a fast one
through the pitchers box which Bracly

He might have tskSn it at the cost
Of his hand. but the Vernon HEAVIER
showed excellent .headwork, as the pill
sped as if it had been shot from d
Mauser Wares worked Breckenridge
for three balls and then the moundman
flung over three straight ones. the last
OF which Wares bunted for a sacrifice.
Brack ckenridge's control was to the bad.
He lost Naggart on had ones. Then
Cameron grounded out. advancing the
men on bases. Breckenridge did not
seem TO like Wolvertons looks. and he
tossed four as far away from Wolvy
as he possibly could. while the captain
howled with derision.
TOOK HT9T FOR A MARK
It was here that Bracky made mis-
take. FOR Wolvy could not have done
any more than Guilty. who followed

now than ever. After throwing cou-
