Pitcher Cates Loses His Bearings
and Angels Capture Game
W. J. Slattery
Eli Cates may be a -goo'd/'pitchcr," with J a license to twist the
ball in any man's league, but if he performs again like " he did
j yesterday afternoon against the Angels the fans "will hot send pe
j titions- to the supervisors to have a street named after him. Eli
! developed a wild streak in the ninth spasm, "when the score was
I 2 all. He filled up all the sacks, after which Jud tore -a
isingle into right field. Two runs came in and eyerybody said
I good night. \u25a0 """-.•
Los Angeles won the game on three little hits. Four runs was
i the portion of the southern contingent, while Oakland, with two
: more safe ones and many less errorsV annexed only. two tallies. To
1 the casual observer it looked as though the Commuters were hang-
,ing it oa the enemy forty ways from the^ middle* bat when the big
I /howdown came tl|ey were nqt there. I : : . \u25a0 , , >
When the Angels came up for their "last wallop it was a dead
lock, and everjjbody looked for extra innings. Bernard, the. first
man tip, received a soak in* the slats; arid. then," Carlisle put idown a
btint, which Bigbee proceeded to boot. -Gates forgot hiniselfr and
! mistook Dillon for one of those colored, gentlemen" that small boys
! toss rag balls at when the circus comes to town; The Angel leader'
i got the ball in the solar plexus, mak
! Ing It a full house, with nobody to
; the bad and the heavy hitting Cravath
at the bat- But • Cates managed- tp
Induce Cravath to pop a fly to sec r
! ond, and the fans cheered. They -near
: ty went wild a moment later wlien
i Cates winged Ellis to the bench. But
these two good stunts did' not bring
Oakland anything, for Smith unload
. Ed a deadly single, and It was curtains
\u25a0 for keeps. " ;
! Oakland started out like. a three
| time winner. In the very first inning
. Van Haltren waited out four wide ones
land advanced on The -old
; boy cleverly worked the delayed steal
: for third-- and Truck Eagan sent* him
on by rapping the ball through--.the
: Infield. . " \
The last Oakland tallY materialized
In the next period, after two men had
\u25a0 been safely disposed of. Devereaux
took a curve In the ribs* and started
lon to steal second. Hogan threw the
\u25a0 ball high over the head of Bernard,
and even Ellis, out in center, failed
to check it. While the chase to the
. fence was In progress Red Bill hustled
; to the home plate. . . \u25a0
The Angels were slow to start, and
failed to show any speed until the
'fourth. Then Carlisle got- a base on
balls, and by dint of clever sprinting
reached third on Dillon's infield- out
Again he sprinted and arrived at the
plate while Devereaux was busy field
ing Cravath's grounder to first.
A deadlock was created In the seventh.
Dillon started with a two cushion
swlpo over Jim Smith's bead, and.Cra
vath put him to third with a clever
bunt. Ellis smashed one down to
Haley, and Dillon kept up a sprint
for the plate, landing as the putout
was being made at first. A second
later Smith smashed the ball to right
for what looked like a double cushion
trip, bat Heltmuller hooked It off the
fence with one. mitt.
Though the game was dotted with
errors, and dummy plays happened at
short Intervals, It sparkled with fast
work on both sides and was interest-
Ing from bell to finish. The pitchers
did the best work, Cates* twirling be
iag especially brilliant until he got
In bad during the ninth Inning. Dolly
Gray was apparently in for a beat-
Ing at the outset, but after the
'second Inning put put a new stock
of benders end held each and every
Commuter cafe.
The crowd was even larger than last
Saturday, showing clearly that so long
as the teams will wade in and play fast
baseball the people are ever willing
. to help along with their twenty-five
and fifty cent pieces. Everybody was
for Oakland, and the rooting was live
ly whenever the Commuters did any
thing that was worth a cheer. The
double umpire system was continued
with good results, not a kick coming
from any of the players throughout the
' afternoon. The score: •

SEALS ARE DEFEATED
Pernoll Pitches .a . Good Game for
the Portland Team
PORTLAKD, Aug. 17.— Pernoll, th*
b usher . from . Grants Pass, won . handily
for his team today in a close game with
the Seals. The score was 2 to 1. Bar
rinff a ellrht streak of wildness de
veloped by the young pitcher, 'the vis
itors would have been chut out.
Except in the first and third innings
and a pass issued to Hlldebrand In the
ninth, the Seals grabbed ; the one, two,'
three route through the game, and
while the official recorder gives the
visitors three blngles, , there were Just
two clouts that should entitle a batter
to credit in the averages, for. Strelb's
bingle should have been ' gobbled <by
Fay. Wheeler caught Pernoll "napping 1 ,
and while stealing second worked. long
enough to allow Henley ' to register,'
Henley was on third by virtue of his
own hit And two outs. Wheeler got a
pass. ;
Three double plays, .two. by the.vis
itors and one by. Portland,- made the
game lntereetlng and ; cut -\u25a0_ down ' the
time of play. Wheeler started the
two doubles for Frisco." ThY score:
