OAKLAND SPLITS
DOUBLE HEADER
WITH SENATORS
Ables Holds Foe to Two
Runs in Seven Innings,
but Visitors Get
the Game
Nv WILLIAM J. SLATTERY

The Oaks and the senators pdltieu
and fought, grabbed and kicked and
worked themselves into Mysteries all
week for practically nothing. They
parted with the honors on a $3.50 basis
yesterday. The days double header
was split and so was the series. Each
team took four games. and let 1t go at
that. They gave good exhibitions every
day. and the fans were gratified.
The Oaklanders were strong enough
to slug out a 6 to l victory in the morn
ing on their own stamping ground.
They simply had to get by with this one
or else nobody would look at them in
their home town. They displayed all
sorts of gameness in the final mixup,
too, and only a nasty little, insignifi-
can't Texas Lacquer beat them in the
tenth spasm of a game replete with
storms
DOUBLE, TROUBLE
Both teams wasted enough good base
hits to put a couple OF games under
their belts. The Oaks were the most
unfortunate in this regard. Thirteen
offerings of the two Sacramento slab
sters, Klawitter and Straud But the
Oaks did not seem to be able to make
them count They had a bad habit of
hitting into double plays.
The pitchers were harshly used. Big
Ahles allowed the Senators two tallies
during the seven innings of his career
on the slab. He is not the Ables of
old. and it will take him some time to
get right. This was proved beyond the
question of a doubt. Young Lohman,
who succeeded him. acted just about
the same as he always acts. for he
generally loses out
The Senator'S were the first to break
in with tally and it happened in round
three. Young hit a grounder to Leard,
who let ii go through his less. The
ball rolled far as the fence and
Young reached second Moran came
right on with a two Dagger to center
and the Senators were on the board
with tally.
SEVENTH, As USUAL
After Oakland had been deprived of
A run or perhaps whole flock of runs
in their half of the third by sensa-
tonal double play. the game dragged
along till the seventh, when the Sena-
tors again attacked the big left handler
With one out Of the way. Moran beat
2 grass cutter down to second Van
Huren had only fly to Guest. but Ken
worthy drove the ball to center and
Hallinan got free ticket Tennant
responded with a wallop to left on
which Moran sauntered through Ken
worthy took desperate chance. but
a perfect peg by Zacher nailed him five
feet from the pan.
1t was in their half of this very same
TOlnd a
effective work, which meant two RIMS
Guest started them on their wav with
a nice smash against the center field
renee, which was good for half the
trip. Right behind him came Gardner
with hit to the right field fence and
Guest was over. Then they sent pinch
hitter Garner in to cloute for Ables.
and he, too, delivered a nice one to
center.
DOUBLED AGAIN
With an even break in the luck the
oaks would have broken 1t up beyond
repair. But the luck was running for
the other fellows. Leard swung a fast
one down to Young. who quickly trans
FORMED 1t into a double play. On this
play Rohrer registered and this was
as far as the Oaklanders got
kiawitter was taken out of the box
by Wolverton during this storm. and
stroud was named to finish the game.
He got along very nicely, too although
the luck was wished on him lust as
strong as it was upon the man whom
he succeeded, for he was the victim
of many a healthy swipe.
Anyhow, the Senators turned the big
trick in the tenth Two men had been
slowed away when Bliss singled to CEN
ter. Stroud struck out, but Rohrer
dropped the ball and 1T rolled to the
stand, leaving Bliss on second and
Stroud on first. Little Young lifted a.
Texas Lacquer TO left which Gov lust
missed by inches. This was the one
which counted more than any of the
others, for 1t sent Bliss tearing home
and it saved the series for Sacramento.
Score:
