ACROSS FOR VICTORY

Manage to Keep Score Down
By WILLIAM ]. SLATTERY

SacHamento made d 1 to standon
AGAINST the Oakland contenders at the
-A-alcncta street lot yesterday afternoon.
This was d far better showing than
Iaost.of the fans looked or even hoped
Tor. Tile great surprise was the manner
in which The Senators kept their oppo-
Tcats away from the plate IN every
inning save one. It looked as though
the slaughter was due time after time.
but thore was no slaughter, nothing
+ that even resembled one. Sacramento
had plenty Of good baseball luck.
The game was good, clean cut af

playing Deyond itself in the field, but at

hit the BAN very hard.
BY the way things are breaking, Sac
ramento does not figure to take one game
out Of six from Oakland. THERE'S no team
work, no life nor ginger in the Sen

score shows. Oakland assaulted his
3 offerings for nine binglers, and any
time that Oakland picks out nine and
there is only one run to show for it,
then the fans may rightly guess that
something has gone wrong with the
transbay sluggers.
Lively seemed TO be the master of the
situation all the time. The Senators
p started by getting a pair of binglers
of his assortment. in the opening in
ming, but after that Lively took the
measure Of every man. He never was
in real danger. He never lost control
Of the ball. and the men behind him
never threw him down. All chances
looked alike to them.
The ever lucky seventh was a life
saver for Oakland once more. Lively
started TO boost his own game by sing
