DECORATION day found the Bees in a decorating mood. They decorated the Oaklots with two black eyes yesterday, but thoy were mado fully awaro during the decorating process that they were themselves them-selves subject at all times to become subjects of the decorative art. 7 hose two black eyes were not pasted on the Oaks without a struggle in fact, without two struggles. Somehow or other the Onks refused to recognize the superior artistry of the Bees as decorators deco-rators and wouldn't stand still worth a cent. It was not until they were las-i las-i sood, thrown and hog-tied that the Oaks suffered their conquerors to apply the brush. In the forenoon the local decorators V effected a b'to-5 scenic production and in the afternoon they painted the Oaks out, 4 to 3. , Two Exciting Contests. Both were highly exciting ball games. Neither was safe for either side until the last dog had been hangod. In tho caso of the forenoon game the Oaks even set themselves up against fate as late as the ninth inning, and they went down : with the tying and winning runs on the sacks. In the afternoon game tho Bees had to wait until the very last round I before the Oaks would admit subjuga- I Won. For a holiday bill yesterday's games j were all that the most ardent baseball fanatic could ask for. It was Harry Krause, Del Howard's I left-handed, who, as a pinch hitter in the forenoon game, scared tho local adherents ad-herents almost stiff, and it was Harry Krause . who, in the afternoon game, knocked the ball over the fence and put the Oaks in the lead. In the end, however, how-ever, tho Bees got even, for they hookod the defeat onto Harr. Rough Going and Good. Tho morning game was played in what writers with original phrases call a sea of, mud. In spite of the ooze tho J game was a tip-top affair, and tho field-n field-n ers lielded much better than anybody expected them to. The mud made the I going tough for the baserunners, and several of them, venturing more than I two inches from their bags, wore cut I down literally cut down, for they in-I in-I variably fell on their countenances ; whenever they tried to turn and dash for safety. Conditions in the afternoon -were i much better. In fact, they were well-j well-j nigh perfect. In the forenoon Tim McC'abo heaved for Salt Lake and Bay Kremer for the Oaks. Both saw innumerable rtmncrs I get on the lines, but only an ordinary j number were driven off, since both i tightened their bolts in tho pinches. ; l.efty Leverenz and Lefty Krause ; hooked up for the afternoon. Tho first j named Lefty had tho worse of the go-I go-I ing during a greater part of the time, II but he was effective when the Oaks were dancing about on second or third, I and at tho finish he had it over Krause by a considerable margin. Joe Dunn in Action. Joe Dunn caught both games for Salt ill Lake yesterday. Joe was supposed to ill catch only one, the first one. but just ll before the' second game began Mike Kon-11 Kon-11 nick got his thumb in the way of a !! bounder ami thought' he would give it a H rest. So Joe caught 'em both. More-11 More-11 over, Joe caught two swell ball games. ; Moreover, once more, Joe did some hit-ill hit-ill ting. In the morning he got three hits, I all of them of the timely kind, and in the afternoon he got two that most cer- tain sure were of the timely kind, for I one of them brought in the tying run and : the other started the winning run. It was really the first time the home-llf home-llf town fans have had an opportunity of M giving Joe the twice over, and they ap-n ap-n prove. Earl Sheely saved the afternoon game 'j in two or three different spots with his I wonderful pickups of thrown balls. This Lu is particularly true of the seventh in-tn in-tn ningr, when, with two out, and Oak run-m run-m ners on second and third, Sheely made a ji wonderful pickup of a low throw by Sands l that came like the shot out of a cannon. In It prevented two certain tallies. Billy Orr played a sensational game at H short," particularly In the first game. 1H Chappell made a couple of rare catches, l and Paddy Sigtin. as usual, made the IN lights flicker. Paddy also knocked In the EH winning run In the second game. The Oaks' played steady ball In both n contests. While there were no sensa-lu sensa-lu tional feats on their part, there was a ta right smart bit of good baseballing. Oaks Rally in Ninth. The ninth-inning rally of the Oaks was i the feature of the forenoon game. They I quit with the tying run on third base yt and another run on second base. The Oak threat to even things up was due mostly to the excellence of Harry Krause as a pinch hitter. It way Harry's slam to left that brought the Acorns to within with-in one of reaching. The visitors started things off in the opening inning as though they were going go-ing lo avenge Speed Martin's irdsfortunes of the preceding days. They rang the bell twice lu the ilrst. McCabe walked the first two men up, Wares arid Middle-ton. Middle-ton. Miller forced Middleton, Wares going go-ing lo third. Ruhe Gardner slashed a singft into right, scoring Wares and putting put-ting Miller on third. After Arlett had lined out, Hawks broke in with a hit and Miller scored. After two were out in their half, the Bees retrieved one of those runs. Chappell Chap-pell singled and scored on Crandall's double. Sheelv got away with an Infield In-field hit, but Crandall died at third when the side was retired. The Oaks scored again in the third on doubles by Miller and Pop Arlett. Larry Drives It Over. Chappell's home-run drive gave the locals lo-cals one in the sixth, and the Oaks made one In the seventh, which was a very merry inning, indeed. Miller led off with a single to center and Gardner beat out a rollor to third. Pop Arlett sacrificed the runnels along. Hawks hit to Sands, and Miller was nailed at the plate. Gardner Gard-ner and Hawks then staged a double steal, Rube scoring on a decision at the plate that caused no end of commotion. The Salt Lakers, in their half of the seventh, behaved as though they were much peeved. Their flash of annoyance, combined with five hits, gave them three tallies, and they stepped into the lead. Sands opened the artillery fire with a safe hit. and Dunn got away with another, an-other, McCable flied to Miller. Miller's hit filled the bases. Paddy Siglin's slam brought in Sands. Chappell followed with another whack, scoring Dunn and Miller. The eighth gave tho Bees another. Sands singled, Dunn doubled and McCabe singled. The run was scored after two were out. The ninth was a lively session, and the Oaks came wltMn one of tying it up. Gardner walked and Arlett forced him. Hawks beat out a foozler and then Krause, batting for Croll, brought Pop fti with a slick single to left. A wild pitch advanced the runners. McCabe tanned Murray and Orr threw out Kremer, Kre-mer, and thus was disaster averted. Chappell's Second Homer. The Oaks started the afternoon game, as they started the forenoon game, with a fierce threat. They collected a double and a single, but they failed to count. The first for Salt Lake gave the Bees a good start. Siglin doubled and Chappell Chap-pell knocked the ball over the fence, his second homer of the day. Both Krause and Leverenz then began to pitch airtight ball. For Leverenze this continued until the fifth, when the Oaks made one. A single by Murray started if off, and a hit by Krause put him on second. Wares tried a bunt. Sheelv nailed the ball with a ten-foot stretch and heaved out Murray at third, Krause going to second. He scored on Middle-ton's Middle-ton's hit to center. Miller returned the the ball to Dunn, who pegged quicklv to Sands, nalTing Wares at third. It was a series of pretty flings. The Oaks tied the count in the sixth. Pop Arlett singled, and, while Leverenz was engaged in putting on a successful race with Hawks for first base on the latter's roller, Arlett beat it for third. He scored on Croll's single. Krause's homer in the seventh set the Oaks one ahead. Joe Ties It Up. Dunn tied the count in Salt lake's half of the inning with a nifty rani to right. The inning opened with Sheely drawing a pass. Orv forced htm at second. sec-ond. Sands's out put Orr on second and then Dunn made his notable hit, bringing Orr in. Krause whanged Leverenz with a pitch and Miller walked, filling the bases, but Siglin was out on a fly to Middleton. The Bees got a coirple of hits in the eighth, but failed to get a runner beyond second. Leverenz set the Oaks down, one, two, three in the eighth and allowed a scratch hit in the ninth. Win in Ninth. The ninth was the deciding period of the game. The Bees not only won a victory, vic-tory, but also quit with the bases full and none out. Dunn started the triumphal march with a poke to left. Leverenz ought to advance ad-vance him with a sacrifice. Krause fielded the bunt, but seeing no one at first to take a throw he refrained from flinging, though, no doubt, he should have thrown the ball, since Wares would have been there or thereabouts to receive re-ceive it. Anyhow, Lefty was safe on first and Dunn on second. Krause biffed Miller in the back with a pitch and the bases were full. With Paddy Siglin taking careful aim, the ball sailed out into right center. Since only a base hit was needed, Paddy merely ran down to first, although he might have stretched the hit into a triple. The clubs will play aaln this aftor-noon aftor-noon at 3:30 o'clock.
