Hannah's hit to center in the second bounced over Caho's head and Truck got to third. Orr's running catch of Sepulveda's fly in the fourth was a wonder.

"I'll vote yes to the Powers application applica-tion in any event," said Berry, "but I have requested President Baum to take a mail vote on the proposition of cancelling cancel-ling our resolution of a year ago in which we barred all outside teams. As T have said before. I think it is a foolish measure. meas-ure. Spring games do not hurt our season's sea-son's attendance. Rather they stimulate interest. "I don't know anything about the Cubs training in Pasadena. If they do, they will, of course, want games both in Los Angeles and San Francisco. I believe they should be allowed to play these games, providing they don't try to offer us any Yannigan teams. Whether the team trains in the northern part of the state or in the south makes no difference. differ-ence. They can come to San Francisco for a limited series of games just the same." San Francisco Chronicle. . Special to The Tribune. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20. The consent of the Coast league d tree. tors has been given to hold a "Chance day" at Washington Wash-ington park, when an exhibition game -will be played for the benefit of the Angels. President Murphy of Salt Lake, today wired his willingness. McCredie, Ewlng and Berry had previously telegraphed their consent. President Powers has not decided on the exact date for the game, but it probably will be Sunday, November Novem-ber 5. There will be field events and other features. Several prominent business busi-ness men have signiiied their willingness to take boxes at any figure demanded. Some of the boxes may' be auctioned off- Arrangements have been completed for a benefit ball game between Oakland and San Francisco to be played on the Oakland Oak-land diamond the Sunday following the close of the season, November 5. The proceeds will go to St. Andrew's church of Oakland. Wolverton will command the San Francisco team, while Howard will look after the Oaks. In his search for live, new timber to rebuild the Oaks, Del Howard struck at least one promising sapling in Rod Murphy, Mur-phy, third baseman. Rod, as vou will probably remember, was brought to the coast by Arthur Devlin. He had been playing semi-professional ball around Washington, and Devlin saw in him the making of a ball player. Devlin should have been able to detect a third baseman, for he himself was one of the greatest that eveV lived. Murphy might have continued as an Oak had it not been that Devlin got in wrong with the members of the club and their displeasure was likewise visited upon the young player whom Devlin had made his protege. There was no truth in the story that Murphy "carried tales" to Devlin, as was subsequently established to the credit of Rod, but nevertheless it gave him a temporary black eve. and he was shown the gate shortly after Devlin got his walking papers. Xow Murphy, after a developing process in the Northwest, is back again and plav-ing plav-ing a swell article of ball. This youngster young-ster is a hustler, an aggressive, tearing sort of player. He got ten hits in the series last week, establishing the high mark for the seven games. ' No man in the league can go from first to third anv faster than this bird. He hit well over .300 in the Northwest and should do as well here next season. Murphv is the onlv infielder certain of holding his iob next season with Oakland. Oakland Tribune. |
