' On hit, a solitary, lonesoms blngls

. lowed that Oakland band yesterday In
; nine cantos and had not Tom Raftery
dropped Eagan's fir la tha sixth after
- a bard run, the visitors would have
, bn covered with th prettloat coat of
; whitewash ever applied locally. Pitcher
Ionian, who started tha ram for Vaa
Haltren, blew up before he bad retired
: a man and when three Jbeavers .reals
tered Van Juat about toaaed a fit. He
chaaed you Da Klllian to the bench ln-
v etanter and i trotted out on Mara v.
( Hardy waa an Improvement, but before
the Bee vera finished with hint : eight
nan awattea eare ana sound.
, ; " Four glaring errors .- committed by
. each team robbed we s-me or interest
. and tha eplendld twirling of Groom was
. timoa: loit signt or in tne meaiocre
playing. It waa by far the beat gain
pitched on the local field from a stand
' point of few bits. Bobby was In great
j form and although ha was a little wild
. at tlmea alwaya held hta men aafe.
Switch . fas Setting; Order.
- Manager McCredle made a switch In
tne batting order of the team and may
- be tliis broke tha hoodoo that has been
hovering over the Beaver camp for
:,. two days. Cooney led off and Ryan fol
. lowed. Klllian presented Cooney with
four choice balla and waa eauallr gen
erous to Buddy Ryan. Raftery came
along and plucked a nice single ana
thla proved the Com mu tare" undoing.
He got so nervoua that he threw the
i ball to tha graadatand and both Cooney
end Ryan trotted cheerfully homeward.
Both registered.
Red headed and red hot Top" Van
Haltren burned . uo tha stray grass
shoots between center field and home

: tne aiaugntcr. fop Old some tail
talking and half a dozen " Athentana
i chimed In to assist While the little
: confab ' wra being pulled off Raftery
sneaked home.. It waa a daring thing
to do and nobody waa surprised more
than th southerners. i
Well, with none out Mr. Hardy
stepped to the- mountain. He succeeded
In retiring th side but not until Baa-
sey had atung him for a single. There
waa nothing more to do for the home
I battalion but to wait until th sixth
: Inning. Babe Danslg unllmbered on
J one of the Hardy benders in thla In
; nlng for a one-bagger. He reached See

i enabled th big fellow to cross tha
." plate, he being aided materially by
' liardy error In handling Johnson's

Oeerlflo by
An Inning passed before the locals
r got busy, again. . Danslg was safe on
Hardy's miscue and Baasey for tha aee-
ona time advanced mm a tag oy a seat
i, sacrifice. Ote Johnson came through
with a single that left a blue streak
in the atmosphere and Hal cashed la
Ote covered the course between first
end home like a quarter horse. .When
Pansig rapped -out the only two-bag-

v on Cooneys single Madden waa morgued
at the plat on a perfect throw by Jim-

earmarke of a winner. With two out

Warmed up by the excitement lnoideat

These figures are remarkable end re
veal the cause for a good deal of the
wonderful work being done by young
Danslg. There Is another point and a
very forcible one that the close observer
would hardly notice. Perhaps you have
wondered at the closeness of some of
the umpire's decisions around first This
Is the secret Danslg alwaya faces ths
fielder with his body stretched as far
as it will go toward him. Hla nlns foot
reach amounts to a little more than on
stride of a baserunner going at full
speed. In other words with conditions

In all the above respects Danslg Is

In advancing on a bunt bit Intended

bander, must turn around to throw it

With the stick there is probably less
to choose between the two than in any
