At Salt Lake Oakland 10, Salt Lake 11. At San Francisco Vernon 2, San Francisco .'. At Los Angeles Sacramento 0, Los Angeles 2. SALT LAKE made nine runs In the second Inninff of yesterday's track meet at Bonneville park, and they needed every one of them to rjueeze through an ll-to-10 victory vic-tory over the Oaks. Speed Martin, after an absence from the same of ten days or two weeks on walks, five singles, two doubles and an error. Oaks Nibble Away. The Oaks began cutting into the Bees' lead in the fourth, when Hawks scored ton his walk. CtoU's single. Murray's walk and an out. They took another bite in the fifth, when penner forced in Pop Arlett with an excessive number of walks. The Bees made one in their half of the fifth on singles by Orr and Sands, Kon-nlck's Kon-nlck's sacrifice and Penner's whlzzer to center. The Bees added one In the sixth, when Orr and Crandall pulled a pretty double steal, the latter scoring. The Acorns asserted themselves with much emphasis In the seventh, ringing the bell thrice. They did it on five resounding re-sounding whacks. Hawkes led off with a hit and after Croll popped, Christensen was sent up to hat for Murray. Chris delivered. Buzz Arlett also delivered and to such great effect that Hawks romped horne. Wares' single sent Christensen to third and when Wares was forced at second, sec-ond, Christensen counted. Hack Miller's double brought Buzz around. Oaks Come Close. The eighth was another emphatic period for the Acorns and in that inning they came within one of tying the score. They also chased Penner. Pop Arlett again started with a hit and went to third when Hawks delivered his second blow in successive innings. Hawks went to second on a throw from the outfield. Then Mr. McCabe was called upon. Croll hit to Orr and the runners were held stationary while Croll was being be-ing flung out at first. Christensen again responded with a clean blow, scoring both Arlett and Hawks. Thereafter not an Oak saw first and Salt Lake climbed into second place. The clubs will play again this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. account of rheumutiz, tried his luck for Del Howard yesterday, hut it was apparent early in tho going that Speed had little on the ball. It wasn't altogether al-together Speed's fault that the Bees romped around the bases so promiscuously promiscu-ously In the second inning, although it is truo that those same Beea touched him for seven hits. One error of commission commis-sion and a still more costly one of omission omis-sion put Speed In a critical state. If the iiilcs permitted it, Speed should be charged with not. more than half the tallies the Bees made in that round. Hard Road for Penny. Kenny Penner essayed to pitch for Salt Lake. Kenny had a few flashes of form, but thoy were extremely raro, and for the most part ho was in hot water. Although Al-though the nine runs which the locals garnered in the second seemed safe enougli for ordinary purposes, they were none too safe for Penner. Tho Oaks kept gnawing away at that lead, and when Pcnnor was beckoned away from the hill in the eighth with two runners on the -uath and none out things looked squeam--'tuli, Tim McCabe was sent to the rescue, and, after Tim had shaken off the legacy .left him by Penner, ho set the Oaka on their ears for the rest of the distance, and the club crept through with a one-inn one-inn margin at tho finish. Buzz Buzzes 'em. Buzz Arlett, tho youngest and also the largest of the celebrated Arlett family, relieved Martin, and from tho third inning in-ning to the finish he held the locals to two runs. Buzz pitched regular baseball :' and the Salt Lake sluggers made little headway against him at any time. Had it not been for Roxy Middleton deliberatoly crossing the Bees and hit-l hit-l ting a home run, when by every standard I of right and reason he should have hit only a sacrifice bunt, the Oaks would not have scored thrice in the opening round; and had they not scored thrice in j 1 he opening round and thereby got everybody all hct up and excited and j confused, it might have been a ball game, i As it was, it was simply a hammering ; match; relieved from tedtousness only by ! the brave efforts the Acorns made to i outrace the Bees down the stretch. Roxy's Telling Blow. The Oaklctfi started thingB off as though t hey meant to chaw the homo puard to tiny bits. Right away they registered three runs, two of them due to Roxy Middle.ton's drive over the right field fent-e In the very first inning. Rpxy was tho soeond batsman on the Oaks' list, and, inasmuch as Clyde Wares was a on first on arcount of a pass, Ro.xy's l homer counted two. By rights, Roxy ;j ehould have bimted. but that's the way I with those Oaks you never can tell what they're going to do. After Roxy's homer, it began all over j again. Hack Miller, with a single and f a steal, eventually worked himself into jj.j a position where he was nailed on the w home base line when Pop Arlett hit an infield bounder. Arlett went to second 3 while the Bees were chasing Hack down and scored on Hawks's hit. Pop hit the rubber only the fraction of a second before be-fore Hawks was retired at second in attempting at-tempting to hook another base on a ( throw-In. The Bees Swarm. Nine runs were the toll taken by the J Bees in the second. Shecly drew a walk as a starter. Orr followed with what was easily a triple to right, but Earl, ; having pulled up at third. Bill had to stop at second, which he did with great difficulty, seeing as how he was steaming steam-ing along regardless. Sands came to the rescue with a neat blow to center, which scored Sheely ann Orr. Then Konnick and Penner hit sat'elv and the bases were full. A walk for Ward Miller forced in Sands. Siglin fanned. Croll foozled Ohappell's grounder and Konnit'-k scored. 'i Crandall knocked a pop-up into right center, which fell in the center of a triangle, tri-angle, and Penner checked in. Anybody mlght have caught the ball had t'others ; remained away. Sheely followed tin's with a. healthy two-bagger to the left field fence, counting Miller and Chappell. ! Sheely scored a moment later on Orr's i single, t lie second hit for Bill in the in- I nlng. c The nine runs were the result of two |
