The Sox are lucky to he playing on
the dear old Pacific coast instead of
around their own south side lot. They
would have a hard time squa ring them
selves with the Windy City fans for
the TWO bloomers which they shot yes
terday. Oakland routed them in the
morning on the transbay field, to B.
They were still game and full of nope
when they trotted out on the green
sward at Recreation park, but hope
never wins ball games unless it is
backed UP with a few bingles The
SoX neglected to bingle the ball at the
opportune moment. so they finished
second once more. Score TO ..
The Seals played better baseball than
on any other occasion this season. The
way they walloped that sphere and the
way they tore around those bases made
the fans tear their hair and cause the
SoN 10 groan and moan. The natives
could win that American league flag
this year if they played the game in
the east like they played il right here
As usual. the boys were off to
frst run. But it did not take them
long to recuperate. They worked like
Marathon runners. As the game pro-
Eresscd they showed more speed and
class The SoX tried everything they
knew and incidentally Irotted out four
pitchers but ii was the same old stuff
every time. The Seals had their num-

1Tx-
hit il UP for san Francisco Up to that
time they were running close. with the
Seals one 10 the good. But one run
against a big bush aggregation is moth
ing TO boast Of and the fans were cali
ing for action. They would have been
satisfied with one or two, but when
four showed they worked themselves
into d frenzy OF glee.
Cap Mohler started the boys with
d ripping two sacker against the cen
ter field fence. lie had scarcely landed
ere Mundorff ripped of another bird of
the same variety into the right gar
den. This was the first run Then
Bodie doubled against the center field
boards. but Mundy only got as far as
third Both of them beat il home when
Busher Wit cracked off another two
cushion swipe right over the short
stops head Berry laced out nice
one. but a perfect peg by Messenger
nailed the youngster at the pan.
All these runs were made off Ohm
stead. who. by the way, seemed to have
more on the ball than any of his three
predecessors. lie used the splitter and
il broke in every direction, but by some
magic hook or crook the Seal batsmen
met every one of them right on the
pick with men on the bases. Ii was
batting rally worth walking out to Twin
Peaks to see and the fans who viewed
the sight VIII not forget IL for many

The former Seal southpaw, Harry
Sutor. started in TO work for Chicago,
but he was not there. During the two
rounds he labored the Seals touched
him for pair OF hits. which meant two
runs. Scott and Smith followed in sue

The sensations Of the afternoon were
furnished by Witt. The kid was bear.
lie had six chances around that third
sack and three Of them were as tough
as any iniieider ever handled. He re-
sponded every time and never lost his
head in the tight places. Incidentally.
he polished of the good work with that
two saczer in the seventh which netted
4 pair of tallies.
The SoN could not steal a single base
or Claude Berry. His wing was work

and he kept them ali hugging the bases
ia every inning. The Seals on the other
hand got away with three steals on
