By WILLIAM ). SLATTEHY
TIiev STAGED a battle or the south
paws at Recrca tlon park yesterday
afternoon. and Southpaw Raleigh OF
the Tigers was so far superior TO
Southpaw Pernoil of the Oaks that the
hosts from the southland were 2 TO o
TO the good at the finish.
The game was rather too mechanical
20 tie intensely interesting, but there
was no disputing the fact that the
better team won.
This little fellow Raleigh Is slight
and slender and how he manages to
put so much stuff on the ball is one
Of the mysteries Of the game OF base
ball. But just let him get right and he
is sure TO show flashes OF class. He
was right Yesterday. and he spent his
idle moments laughing at his oppo-
nents.
FAULTLESSLY BACKED
The little left handler was faultlessly
backed up and he had all the con-
fdence that any slabster would need.
There was nothing TO worry him. After
the first few periods he realized that
every man behind him could be de-
pended upon To take care of anything
that might come his way. And Rail
eIsh's Judgment MAS correct for none
OF the Tigers faltcred even for frac-
ten of Il second.
Pernoll was unfortunate enough TO
hit the rocky places in the opening
frame. The Tigers were crafty enough
to know how TO take advantage OF
their early opportunities. They lost no
time in putting on the main event and
after the round was over and the two
tallies had been chalked up on the
score board they felt confident enough
that the spoils belonged to them.
PERNoLL PITCHED WELL
After he had settled down Pernoll
pitched Just good ball as did his
brother southpaw. Any sort of a rally
with the bat by his teammates might
have pulled him out of the hole But
they simply could not get jerry to the
brand of twisters which Raleigh kept
unwinding. He was the master of the
field at all times, and from their ac-
Ions the Oaks seemed to realize this.
The Tigers played d far better game
IN the field and at the bat than they
did in the opening game of the series.
Confidence stuck out all along the line
There was pepper and ginger in the
makeup. even though Happy Hogan did
take a day off and watch the game in
his Sunday clothes from the directors
they could get along without him.
THE FATAL FIRST
The initial spasm was the one which
counted Carlisle opened the game
by beating out a scratchy inheld hit.
Kane made the usual play and hunted
the leader along to second Then fol-
lowed O.Rourke with another one of
the scratchy boys, so Carlisle was
safely planted on third.
Two tragedies quickly followed.
Pernoll could not recover his composure
Jast enough to insure steadfness He
heaYed very wild pitch which al
lowed Carlisle to spike the pan and
oRourke to get as far as third. This
run never should have counted had
the Oakland left handler been on his
job.
few minutes later catcher Rohrer
pulled another one which resulted in
cinch victory for the Tigers.
Rourke make a wild dash for third
and Rohrers effort to peg the runner
cut was Just as wild as the runners
EFFORT TO reach the bag. The ball went
many feet over Hetling's head. and
rolled into the left garden O'Rourke
Kept right on his way until he had
spiked the pan with what proved to
be the final tally of the afternoon.
OAKS SEEM ALIVE
Now and then the commuters would
show signs Of life by getting a couple
or men on the bases. Their rooters
would rise up and shout encourage
ment and things would look ROSY for
A Few moments. But on each occasion
Raleigh knew just what TO feed his
opponents. and he never made a single
mistake.
IT might have been even worse for
the transbay champions but for great
throw made by Clements, the new man,
in the sixth. ORourke beat a slow
one to third and pulled up at second
on Hetling's bad heave Rrashear
hunted him to third and Hosp started
a long H. TO Clements near the right
field fence
1T looked 50 very soft that O'Rourke
did not seem to put on fun head
Of steam. They all felt confident that
he would land. pulled up But Clements
just measured his distance and made
q sensational toss to Mitze. who stood
waiting ball in hand to receive
oRourke. This was the '.4 play of
the day.
THEY HIT THE BALL
The Oaks had men on bases In nearIv
every inning and they kept hitting the
ball good and lively most of the time
They pick off just as many binglers
as their southern rivals. but somehow
or other they were unable to deliver
with couple on and a couple down
This is the answer. The score:
