The tossers from Oakland will not
be compelled 10 apologize for their
recent slump if they play a few more
games like the. one they. played against
the advancing Senator's on the local
lot yesterday afternoon. They made
every movement count and they fairly
bewildered the men who easily be-

surprised.

from the. bench Yesterday somebody
mysteriously replenished this valued
asset. Every man on the team had
some OF it. Confidence had taken the
place OF sorrow and .remorse. 1t was

we watched a couple of weeks ago
They all played their game and that
settled it.
Not that the Senators fell down.
Far from ii. They were aggressive
and active and they fought the foe to
the last ditch. They were dangerous
in nearly every inning. But they were
up against q stenewan defense and
they simply could not break in, hard

southpaw PernolI. the man who has
stood out as the leading slabster OF
the transbaY team ali season. upheld
his reputation once again. He was wild
and cratic at. times but when it came
to. the pinches# he was able to deliver
everything that q winning pitcher
should have He had more TO do with
the downfall of the Senator's than any
OF the others and they all played ball
WolVerton worked Are1lanes. one of
the best bets in his stable. The little
Spaniard was about due TO win at that
and the odds looked to be all against
the Commuters before the first ball
. was. pitched. But nobody can tell what
is going to happen on the diamond

was good enough to put Coy over.
COMMUTERS CfNCH GAME
There was many an anxious moment
from that time till the Oaks made the
game a cinch in the eighth spastI. The
Ssnsters. had men on the@ba sss zraaast OF

their confidence on several occasions.
