SENATORS CAPTURE
GAME BY EYELASI
Oaks Rally in Ninth, but Graham's Men
Already Have Their Angora

A ninth inning batting rally that al
most caused Charlie Graham to col
lapse with fright came near to giving
the Oaks another victory over the Sen
ators-but not quite. BY digging
around in the musty tones of baseball
literature the phrase "a well deserved
victory" seems to be about the proper
way TO characterize the manner In
which the Senators got away with the
game.
For the oaks it was an uphill fight
all the way and Snapper" Garrison
put over very few finishes more spec
taculsr than the one in which Wolver-
tons men lost by an eyelash."
SENATORS take LEAD
At the opening Of the first half of
the last bracket the Senators were
ahead by a score Of 2 to 1. To the
fans il appeared that the one run to
the good was q nice margin for the
visitors, but Graham did not think So
end his eXhortations to his men TO
roll in a few more runs would have
done credit to the finest little leader a
Georgia camp meeting ever listened to.
. Charles pleadings went not unheeded,
as his cohorts answered the call and
punched a brace Of runs.
Bobby Burns started it by hook
bingle and took second when Babe"
Danzig beat out an infield hit by tax
ing about three good strides from the
plate TO first. Then came Briggs, who
dumped a easy one into the field and
forced Danzig at second, while Burns
meandered to third Briggs got sassy
and deliberately stole second right un-
der Mites eyes. A CLEAN Of great
hope arose in Graham's eye when
Boardmsn came to bat. The best
Boardman could. do was to watt long
foul dy down behind third base and
although he was caught out, Burns beat
the throw in to the plate and scored
The Oakland players tried to con-
vince Umpire Hildebrand that Burns
left the third sack before the out was
made, bat Hide" could not see it that
way and the score was allowed to
stand. Raymer laced out a single.
scoring Briggs, and a goodly part Of
the crowd arose TO go. thinking the
game was in the can with the Sacra-
mento label on il.
PINE LINE OF seKIDDING~
a few spectators who left broke Back
tntO the inclOsure when the lusty
sunged Oakland fans started TO rattle
Eeister with about as fine a line Of
kidding" as has been uncorked this
season. Heister fell for the talk and
wa ked Cutshaw. who took second on
Wares out. Mite unloosed a clean
bingle, but Guilty failed to get off
the second bag. In order to take q
chance on getting q long hit to bring
Guilty" home and allow him to rest
by the way. Wolverton sent Pearce in
10 bat for Moser. Bunny came
through with 2 nice single over sec
ond, but Cutshaw's feet would not al
low him to get away from third until
swander drew a pass and forced him
home.
Captain Wolverton then faced Heister
and raped out a high fly that looked
good for the signboards. About this
time the wind butted in and cut down
the speed OF the ball and Briggs was
Az bled to gather in the fy for a
=. .tOut. Mite beat the throw in for
the second score Of the inning. while
Carroll who was sent in to run for
Pesrce, took third, while Swander took
second.
With two men on the bags and but
Is one run needed Maggart came to bat.
Nsggart made an easy out at first
and retired the side with but two runs
over the plate.
II is doubtful II any series this sea-
son has been more prolific of good
clean and fast baseball than the pres
ent one between the Oaks and Senator'S.
II is true that the opening game Tues
day was not such a muchness bur
every single game since then has been
marked by fast and clever ball playing.
and every one Of the last three games
has been very close and undecided until
the last man was out. The scorer
