CHARLEY TANNING
IN SMOOTH GOING
HIGHLY ARTISTIC
Pernoll, Given an Unrnerci-
full Walloping, Is Finally
Relieved by Jack
Killilay

BY capturing yesterdays game from
the Oaks, the Seals cinched the series.
1t was easy for the home guard, as
they batted enough runs off Pernon In
two frames to make the going very
smooth for Charley Tanning, who
pitched his usual brilliant brand OF
ball. The end was 5 to 2.
PernoIl was as open as the good book,
and after being numerically waIloped
during his five and a third frames on
the hill. he was given his retirement
IN favor of Jack Killilay, who finished
the fob. The latter dealt out gilt
edge assortment of curves. and the
Seals were helpless while he was on the
hill.
Kilulay's efforts went for nothing, as
the damage had been done before ne
was enticed into the game
The lead which the Seals established
during the first half OF the game proved
too much of a handicap Tor the Trans
bay boys to overcome
The Oaks threatened time or two,
but Tanning applied the brakes when
he found himself skidding, and he
Euccessfully managed to avert cou-
pie of crashes.
DOWNS BRACES UP
Jerry Downs, whose chief fame around
this neck of the woods since his ar
rival here, short time ago, has been
his bungling work of a couple OF easy
Exrounders that figured in a couple or
Seal defeats found his own yesterday,
and he put himself IN right with the
fans. It was Jerry's stick that fea-
tured, as he slammed out three safe
wallops during his four trips at bat.
one of them being four base smash
via the right field fence and the other
two were singles, one being very
timely bingle, scoring two runs.
The Oaks played good ball In the
field, giving Pernon and Killilay ex-
cellent support However, they were
a bit weak before the elusive offerings
of Tanning, who allowed but FIVE safe
smacks.
PernoIl was soft from the outset, and
1t was strange that Mite did not der
rick him before the sixth. The Seals
secured one safe blow off him in the
opening round. and in the second frame
they flattened out three OF his benders
for hits. but through good fielding, poor
base running and luck Bud managed to
extricate himself from q very awkward
position.
FIRST SETBACK
He suffered his first setback in the
fifth frame, when jeremiah Downs, the
Titan haired swatter of the home
guard opened the inning for the Seals
by lifting the pill to point outside of
the right field fence. Corhan followed
with two base hit Cartwright was
retired on strikes. Schmidt singled to
left, scoring Corhan.
Pernol1 stubbed his toe in the fifth,
walking Mundorff. He was tossed out
stealing. McArdle was issued a walk.
Johnston was safe on a bingle TO short.
Willie Hogan showed gameness by
taking blow on the stomach and he
was allowed to take first, filing the
paths.
Jerry again stepped forward and
again he performed. 1t was another
smack to the right field. This time the
ball did not go over the screen, but
went crashing against the boards, Nc
Ardle and Johnston registering. Jerry
was tossed out trying to reach second.
Corhan's sacrifice fly to center scored
Hogan, who reached third on Downs
hit.
OAKS FIRST COUNT
The Oaks secured their first count in
the sixth frame. Leard laid down an
easy one and beat 1T to first. Schirm
was safe when Mundorff dropped his
fly. Ness doubled to CENTER scoring
Leard, Schirm being caught dallying
off third.
In the ninth Elmer Zacher amazed
the crowd, which was one of the best
Saturday offerings of the season, not
withstanding the fact that the contest
was between tailend teams, by lifting
one of Fanning's twisters safely into
the left field bleachers, which gave him
the privilege Of circling the paths
without interference. The score:
