Yesterday's morning game with.
Oakland went to the Sox, 9 to f, due
to good pitching by Benz and Lange
and sturdy clouting by Lord, Ma'ttick;
Kuhn and Easterly.
The afternoon' combat with San
Francisco was tight, Cal's bunch cop

worked four innings and was not
scored on. Mogridge finished, ;and
displayed sparkling slants. Buck
Weaver drove in two of the Sox runs,
with singles.
Callahan gave his "players a rest
today, and they were taken around
Frisco on a sight-seeing trip. This
afternoon they are playing St. Igna

Rollie Zeider debutted at third,

Games like yesterday's, .with Fort

prominent than baseball. The score,
13 to 0,, in favor of the Cubs, could
have doubled if the leaguers had
been marathon runners. ,
Reulbach and Gilbert pitched all
that was necessary, which wasn't
much: In one inning, with Corriden
on second, base, Evers bunted, arid
ran to third, Corriden hiking back to
first. Dick Cotter called both run
