Those who enjoy close and exciting
baseball games. with a winning finish
by the home team in the last inning
should attend the Sacramento-Ve
series. Every game so far has been a
thriller of the kind that makes it dan
| gerous for those with heart trouble to
attend, and although the Senatorial
| bunch fooled us once by taking too big
! q lead to overcome, the Cutups have
taken two in three and should make a
clean slate of the remaining four games.
| Some people are mean enough to say
that Scrappy Hogan is too much Of
Walter Miller in drawing the finishes
too fine, but if he is plotting that way
he should be given credit for making
good twice in three trials. AS in the
other games of the series, the Senators
took big running start yesterday and
were doing nicely until they developed
a Smithy Kane streak, when the old
stake horses came by and passed them
like a pay car going by the Weary Willie.
Hogan shifted and changed his lineup
yesterday so that he would get his hit
ting utility men in the game and give
his weak hitters rest in the hope that
they would recover their batting eyes
with a few days rest and at the same
time kill the jinks that has been camp
change proved his good judgment in
both ways-Kftty Brashear and Jess
StoVal, the utility man who succeeded
Fisher at first and Martinke in right
respectively, hit the ball so hard that
they took all the nerve out of the Wis
itors, and it was Kitty's home run in
the ninth that tied the score. Hunt,
the premier twirler of the Senatorial
staff was made so dizzy in the third
that Charlie Graham chased him to the
bench, while Bones Baum could no
nothing with the slugging outfit. 1t |
was worth SO of anybody's money to |
see the Villagers win out after seeming |
to be hopelessly beaten.
Hagan says that he will pitch Kit |
Carson in the afternoon game of the |
double-header tomorrow, and the fans |
undoubtedly will turn out in record
breaking numbers to see the new
twirler work. He is rounding to his
best form now, although he has been
the fans undoubtedly will see him beat
the cellar champions Schaefer and
Hit are ready for duty now, and the
long rest from Sunday to Wednesday,
with the addition of Carson to the
staff, has served to put all the pitchers
back in winning form. Vernon should
begin TO climb and keep on the job
until they get back in front.
1t was pleasing to note yesterday that
the fans are pulling Loyalty for Vernon
to win. When the score was 4 to
against the Cutups the fans began to
root and they never let up until the
winning run was scored. When Kitty
Brashear put the ball over the fence for
the tieing run in the ninth the fans
stood up, threw hats and yelled until
they We're well nigh exhausted. They
took advantage of every opportunity to
say something sarcastic or humorous,
and those who did not yell were highly
by the Witticisms of those
who did. Hunt was sent up in the air
IN the third by some fan who kept up
an incessant yell of please take me
1ut, Charlie" and finally Charlie had to
10 it. When Graham tried to coach
Umpire McGreeVy on a close decision
at first by yelling Safe the fans
eased him by yelling, IF you only
we're the umpire, Charlie!" and when '
3aum showed tendency to balloon it :
hey began yelling, who is that warm ,,
ng up?" with lots of other timely and
appropriate nerNe-rackers. This is the '
lind of support that makes the home I
cam win, and it should be feature of 4;
very home game. =
