VICTORY C|NCHED
Wildness of the Veteran in
the Last Round Wishes
the Game on the
Commuters
Ry JOE MURPHY

The Seals after a disastrous trip
on the road, returned to their home
grounds yesterday. but the change OF
pa sture did not seem to benefit them.
as they lost the opener TO the Oaks
and their position in last place is more
firmly established Credit for the de-
feat can be placed on the shoulders
Of Cactus Henley for he experienced
a streak of wildness in the conclud-
ing frame, which resulted in the OAKS
putting over two runs. which gave
the transbay boys a TO decision.
IT was a mighty clean cut exhibit
tion in which home run swats were IN
evidence and the local ball park was
shown UP as a joke grounds. This fence
seemed to be the target OF the swat
ters and nearly half of the hits Sc
cured during the day were gained by
means OF pounding the ball up against
the short field fence. Three circuit
belts were gained during the afternoon,
which is going some.
In the second frame Jerry Downs
boosted the pill over the right field
wall and in the same spasm Bertram
Coy duplicated the feat by hoisting
the sphere high and dry into terri
tory far beyond the right field boards.
In the ninth. with the score tied, Del
Howard pulled off the big hero stunt
by clouting the hide over the right
field fence and it looked like this
smash meant victory until Henley took
his ascension a few minutes later.
LOHJAN PITCHES WELL
The Texas finger, Lohman, who is
here on a trial, was dispatched to the
front for the transbay club and he
pitched a mighty nice article of ball.
Outside of the four base sma shes which
the Seals secured he pitched the kind
of ball that goes. He had exceptional
control and not a Seal reached first
on balls nor did he sink the ball into
the anatomy of the opposition tossers.
lie was nicked for eight belts, but they
were wildly distributed and he kept
the score down.
Both hurlers were given bang up
support there was not a boot in
jected into the fracas. Oakland's line
up looked like a patched up quilt. as
the outfield was entirely new, with
the exception of Coy, while. Gardner
held down first and Guest played a
nice game at third.
Schaller, the Seals new outfielder
made his debut in left and created a
favorable impression. He secured one
hit in four trips. but his swipe was
a Jim dandy. it being low drive to
tho right center field fence He scored
4 run and made one put out.
COY RAPs THE BALL
Both Fingers passed the opening
round without experiencing. any trou-
Bile. but in the second frame the Seals.
who were batting first. secured q
counter. After Schaller had been re-
tired on a grounder to Leard. Downs
pumped one for home run to a point
beyond the right field fence
This lead was short lived. as the

showed that they knew something
about making home runs when Coy, the
first man UP. picked out a ripe one and
laid the willow against it with great
force. The ball almost sailed out of
sight in a direction beyond the right
field fence.
From this point the game developed
into a pitchers battle with honors be-
ing a shade in favor of Lohman In
the fourth the Oaks broke the deadlock
by playing some smart baseball. Gard
neT opened the session with a drive to
right field but was forced moment
later by Coy. who grounded to Downs
who chucked Gardner out at second
Corhan just missed doubling Coy. On
the hit and run Clemens rolled a hit
down to second while Downs was off
guard. Coy moving around to third on
the bingle. Cook forced Clemens al
second, but Coy scored on the play.
HENLEY BLOWS UP
In several innings the Seals had men
on bases and a hit would have meant
run. but Lohman seemed to have
the little extra twist on the ball when
he was in trouble. They busted into
the picture again in the seventh and
tied it up. Johnston was retired by
Guest. who tossed him out Schaller
came along with a pippin of a sma sf
that went on line to the right center
field fence. Downs was tossed out by
Cook. Schaller moving down to third
on the out. Roy Corhan unloaded a
nice belt TO right which scored Schaller
and tied the score. Corhan was moved
down trying to steal.
In the ninth Howard rammed the
pellet over the right field fence and
victory looked to be in the grasp of the
Seals
steadiest beavers in the league had q
bad spell. He gave Clemens a base or
balls. Cook laid down a beautiful bun,
TO Downs, who made an excellent pla,
on 1t. just nipping the batter at first
Clemens took second. Guest was hi,
by pitched ball.
Then Hetling. who had been doinp
bench duty. was sent in to swing the
billy for Mitze and the switch proved a
wise one. Gus uncorked a hit TO the
rlght field fence. scoring Clemens and
Lehman hit bounder which lust 90,
by Henley and went to Downs. whc
threw to the plate to get Guest. but the
throw was just too late and the game
was over. Score:
