SAN FRANCISCO, October 2a-The
Seals stepped out and won the Coast
League pennant yesterday morning at
Oakland before n hostile crowd, when
they took the game Rve-one. They
came back on this side of the bay in
the afternoon and showed they were
entitled to the flag by beating Oakland
again, three.oneN ~ sr .al
n LosI;Angelesi islsbo f6on1 both games
yesterdhy SO that club finished fieht-
ing gamely. -.
The Seals simply had to win one game
yesterday to make sure of the flag and
the boys were right up on their ties
In the morning to make it q sure thing.
Rudy Kallio, the youngster who was
farIned out to Des Moines last sprinq.
was the boy who put II over and he
pitched a game that would be mighty
hard to beat.
He let the Oaks down with two hits
and would have BANKED them had Roy
Corham and George Maisel not collided
going after q fly ball in the fifth.
Both the hits made off him were two
baggers, but the ball hit by Arlett took
a crazy hop and eluded Maisel, other
wise it would have been Just an ordi-
nary single, The double hit by Mid
dleton in the first inning was the real
thing.
Ka1lio Shows Fine Curve
Kallio had on display curve bali
that not only fooled the Oaks badly,
but It had Red Held guessing wildly.
The young fellow acted like real
pitcher all the way and after his mates
had put some runs under him, the Oaks
had no chance. "Ist "a
\ With Arlett on second base by rea-
SON Of his fluke double, Dan Murray
lofted q fly to short center. Maisel
came tearing in while Corhan seooted
out TO get 1t. just as Corhan turned
to take the ball, Maisel bumped him
and the ball fell safe. Maisel picked
it up and fred il into the Oakland
dugout, trying to head Arlett off at
third. Arlett scored the only run made
by the Oaks-and on that double bar
relied error.
With that exception the new cham
pions played perfect ball in the field.
They also stood up well behind Chief
johnson in the afternoon. So. al
Bill Stumpf is the best ball player in
the Oakland club, yet he helped the
Seals win that morning game. He is
charged with three errors, but he could
have been exempted from two of them.
He erred on Fitz in the first inning and
Fitz scored later on Schaller' Is hit, but
the throw to the plate in the third to
shut of a run was not bad one.
He had to hurry it, and threw into
the dirt, but the ball went on nice
hop to Murray, who failed to stop it.
Two runs scored while Dan was chas-
ing the bah to. the stand. Phil Koer.
ner opened the fourth with fearfully
hard shot, which turned Stumpf half
around, yet Bill was charged with an
error. Koerner should have had hit
on it. Phil scored later on hits by
Baker followed with triple, Kre-
mer and Beer finished the game.
Big Crowd In Afternoon ...- /
p A bumper crowd; the largest since
opening day, turned out on this side
of the bay in the afternoon to greet
the new champions. 1t was Just an
ordinary game of balls, with the cham
pions showing their class, but there
were no outstanding features. Billy
Lane helped himself to a, home run in
the first inning, and that was abso-
Mtely all Chief Johnson allowed in the
way of runs. .,..@
Speed Martin was selected to show up
the new champions, and he pitched
good ball, but he could not win. A dou-
BILE by Captain Downs in the second
was cashed into a run when Stevens
hit safely. Schaller got double and
Downs a single in the sixth, and Biff
scored on o double steal when Arlett
went after Downs and then tried to
throw Bif out at the plate.
Charley Pick legged in with the third
run of the game, and the last run Of
the season, when Mite tried to break
up u double steal by taking shot at
third base. The ball hit Pick on the
leg and rolled out to left field, and the
peppery third sacker trotted home.
The afternoon game was ended when
Hack Miller, drove a liner. into the
mitts of Phil Koerner and Phil stepped
on first base before Rod Murphy could
get back there. He made an unassisted
double play, and, janming the ball into
his hip pocket, he dashed for the club
house, surrounded by a flock of young
Americans, begging for the bali.
