SEALS ROUND UP
COLLEGE TOSSERS
Danny Longs Colts Play Like
Big LeaguerS at Bat and
i'm the Field
By JOSEPH MURPHY

Every Seal performed his duty like a
ball player and a man yesterday after
noon at the Valencia street lot, so it
tossers of st. Marys college were beaten
into submission to 1. For a practice
game it was a ticker. There was ac-
tion in every roll of the ball and the
only pity was that the college lads
allowed their goats to stroll all around
the lot in the second inning. Before
the animals were taken into captivity
the Seals had piled up four runs This
handicap was always a nightmare to
the ST. Mary's tossers.
Meikle and Ames did the slab work
for the Seals and they did 1t well. too.
During the four innings that the big
pumpkin roller worked, the collegians
landed for only two little hits. None of
them walked and five of them whitfield
vainly at the atmosphere Ames, who
finished, might have been equally eff
fective, but he lost his bearings in the
fifth and gave the collegians a run on a
wild pitch. They had no license to
grab this one.
The Seals played without an error
and they worked together like an ag-
gregation that had won three flags in a
row. Little Mundorff. who is still suf-
fering from that injury to his leg, did
the honors in center field instead of at
third base. Busher Witt filled in at
Mundy'S old station and he played a
bear of a game at the bat. getting a
pair of hits and registering a rum He
did not have chance in the field.
Nick Williams started the game off
behind the bat for the Seals and worked
four innings. He played his usual
game and was succeeded by Waring,
the new backstop and utility outfielder
1t was Warnings first appearance be-
hind the plate and everybody liked his
work. He pegs very nicely and he's
always on the job and ready to grab
off a foul.
Jimmy Lewis did the best stickwork
for the Seals. Out of four trips to the
rubber he laced the leather safely three
times and registered a run. His two
bagger in the second inning helped out
a lot. Tommy Tenant did not get a
hit, but he grabbed everything that
came his way and landed hard on the
ball save once when Southpaw Cam
whitfield him out.
The two sackers from the bats of Witt
and Lewis came in very handy in the
second inning and materially helped to
break up the game. At that the collie
gians were all in the air when the Seals
got men on the sacks and this tells the
story of their downfall Ames' wild
pitch, with Fitzsimmons on third and
two down, gave the collegians their
chance to register their lone tally in
the fifth. The score:

.SOX WALK INTO A
VICTORY OFF DANk
Little Oakland Pitcher Goes
Comet Gazing While Old
Romans Braves ROmp

The Oakland tossers outbatted the
White Sox No. l team yesterday, but
the generosity of Pitcher Dank in the
matter of free transportation cost the
Oaks the game. Christian started to
heave 'em for the transbay aggregation
and got along nicely for five innings,
when Manager Wolverton took him out
and substituted Midget" Dank The
little fellow only recently joined the
training camp and was in no condition
to pitch, with the result that the Sox
overcame the one run lead of the Oaks
and put four more men over the pan
for good measure
Apart from the wildness of the
pitcher there was little fault to be
found with Wolverton's men. They
Strengthened out six of the big league
pitchers curves and although making
three bobbles in the field the lads
handled a number of hard chances in
great style.
Lange started to curve them for. the
Chicago team, but was relieved by
Harry Sutor after six innings. Lange
pitched a good game of ball. but ap-
parently was tired when taken out.
Dick Britt, the Oaks left fielder, was
the star of the game, getting away
with two bingles and pulling off a
number of sensational stunts in the
left garden. With men on second and
third in the second inning the Alameda
recruit picked one right off the club
house wall. The score:
