There is no surer way for the Oaks to hit- the bottom of the ladder and to stay there than to play the quality of ball that saw them beaten at Eccreation park by the Salt Lakers to- day, with a concluding score of 14 to 8. Seven gTeat, big, glaring errors, ev-1 ev-1 ery one of which had something to do with Salt Lake tallying, were chalked up, and they were coming faster at the 'close of the long-winded session than in the midle of the fray. Elliott, in addition to a, dropped throw at the plate that Btarted the Saints on their way, made the mistake of not knowing when to switch his pitchers. Cliff Blankenship had to trade horses in mid-stream. He opened with Stanley Dougan, his latest right- land acquisition from Cincinnati, but "benched him in favor of Bert Hall when things looked bad. Saints Get Away Early,. Salt Lake was off to a running start, with errors for Boyd and Elliott responsible re-sponsible Quinlan beat out a bunt and reached second on an error by Boyd. v Bath walked and with Brief out, Evan smashed a single to center that counted Quinlan. The double steal was tried and Rath registered as Kowdy dropped the ball. In the same inning the Oaks evened. Barbeau walked and. stole, but was later caught at the! plate on a" bunt to the pitcher. Middlcton and Ken worthy hit Sjnff' 'safely In a" row and Elliott, who" did most of the run-driving for his team,, sent the pair across the plate. The visitors took a lead again in the third when Brief followed up Bath's infield single with a homer over the right-field fence. Rushing right back in the same third inning, the bat work of Kenworthy, El 1 liott and Barry put two around to sew up the session. With the game for the second time on even terms. Salt Lake rapped Boyd out of the box in the fourth. Hannah singled, but was forced by Hall. Quinlan Quin-lan hit to third, only to be forced by Rath. Brief's swat to left scored Hall, and Ryan connected for two bases, send- ing Rath homo. Beer took charge and quieted the disturbance with no more tallying. Tied and Won. Oakland awaited tho seventh once more to take a fresh chance. With Barbeau out, Middleton singled and took second on an overthrow by Orr. Kenworthy grounded out and Gardner's punch to center scored Roxey. Then the Rube stole, and from second eame around as Elliott smashed his fourth hit of the afternoon to center. And tho 0-to-ti score lasted until tho eighth, when Bill Kenworthy put the Oaks fairly on their way to defeat. Hannah opened with a walk and stole while Hall was striking out. Quinlan singled and Hannah was nipned at tin plate. Rath grounded to Kenworthy. who fumbled on Ins recovery and then threw the ball into the benches. Quin lan came home on the nuscue. Brief beat out a hit to third and Ryan 's home run put two more Salt Lakers around tho path. That ninth, in which Salt Lako regis-tered regis-tered four more, was nothing short of a nightmare, three Oakland errors com-bined com-bined with three juicy hits, snowing the I Oaks completely under. |
