OAKLAND player fattened their batting-
averages in Friday' contest
against the Beavera on the Vaughn street
; lot. pounding "Suds" Sutherland rand
"Goof" Glazier for 15 bingles for an easy
11 to 2 victory, y
Sutherland started the game for - the
Mackinen, but was called to the show
era Ira the first inning, after five hits, in
' eluding a home run and two doubles,
had been made off his delivery. It was
the second time that ."Suds" has been
chased from the mound this season. Kac
ramento giving him the bumps with a
similar rally during its last appearance
. here., . .... .
BEATEBS SLUGGISH .
Glazier, heaved them over against the
Oaks during the remainder of the game
and was touched up for six runs and 12
hits.' The work of the Beavers was very
' sluggish.
Ernie Alten, late of the Detroit Tigers,
south pawed against the Beavers, and
although nine hits were collected off. his
delivery, he kept them pretty well scat
tered, an error and a wild pitch, being
- partly responsible for the first counter
scored by the Mackmen. Alten has the
earmarks of a rood pitcher. He has
. an exceedingly puzzling cross-fire and
has good control.
Prior to the start of the game, the
players of both teams and the small sized
crowd stood with bared heads out of
respect to the memory of Ray Chapman.
The players lined up around the home
plate. - j,
SILLER MAKES HOMER )
Brubaker . and WUie led the ' attack
gainst the Beavers, each getting four
bingles, Brubaker being at bat five times
and Wilie six. ;
"Hack" Miller's homer Into the left
field bleachers, whicH scored WUie and
Brubaker,, was the blow that killed
Sutherland. Knight stopped a wide one
with his back and Lane doubled to left
center. Guisto cracked a board high on
the left field fence, putting over the two
runners. This gave the Oaka five runs
and caused the exit of $uds. i The Oaks
put over their final run fn the ninth.
Oakland added two more in the third.
. after falling to stage a triple steal in
the second. Quisto's single, Alten's
double and WHle's second hit being re
sponsible for the tallies. Two, doubles,
a single, a base on balls and a sacrifice
fly gave Oakland three in the eighth.
Cox's walk. Koehler's hit, Lane's boot
and a wild pitch gave the Beavers their
first run in the second, and hits by Mai
eel, Cox. Spranger and Ross In the sixth
cored the second tally.
There will be a double-header this
afternoon at 1 :30 o'clock. . Score :

Decisions Poor
this' canto i Was not nearly so much as
that . piled up by St. Clair in any one
of the other rounds. Even a draw would
have been an Injustice to St. Clair, and
when the referee gave -the verdict to
Casey, .the crowd, to a man, hjpsed its
disapproval.- -Casey himself ' w-as the
most surprised of all, was so d axed, by
the unexpected gift that the; referee had
to support him while he awarded him
the honors. The decision was Just as
rotten as the raw decision which Jack
Day some .months ago gar Joe Gorman
with FrankteTMalorie. (- -"-'.--AXDEBSOJT
TOO 8TK050
Freddie Anderson knew too much for
Harold Jones and could hit too hard
for him. 1 Jones forced the fighting, but
his ; tactice wre amateurish and his
blows ineffective. Anderson should have
put him away, but let; the opportunity
slip several, times when' he had Jones in
a bad way. -'V.;-!-.'-
Frankie Crites punished Carl Martin
severely about the stomach in their six
round setto and seemed to have more
accuracy and steam behind his punches.
He was entitled to the decision. It was
one of the best fights on the card.
The fights were held: in the open air
in the ball park of the barracks and was
a side feature of the Elks' state conven
tion. Only a fair sized: crowd witnessed
the bouts, of which no just complaint
could be made., ;
The lack of attendance indicates that
the public is losing some of its former
interest in r boxing. Ai few. more such
decisions as those rendered in the Her-man-Mascott
and the i St. Clair-Casey
bouts, and the old game will take the
full count. i

"BABE" RUTH'S
CHAPTER SIX
THERE'S one thing In . baseball that
always gets ray goat, and, that'r the
Intentional pass. -
It isn't i fair to the batter. It - Isn t
fair to his club. It's a yaw deal for the
fans and it isnt baseball. By 'base
ball -.r mean good, square American
sportsmanship, because baseball repre
sents America in sport. If we get down
to unfair advantage In our national
game we are putting out a mighty bad
advertisement.. - " -
: This year the rule makers gave us a
new law. which was intended to prevent
pitchers "from intentionally passing
heavy hitters ; in order- to get to the
next batter;for an out or? perhaps, a
double play.: -But the rule hasn't worked
because the' umpires, being human, can
not tell teyond a . doubt whether the
pitcher is merely wild or la heaving
the ball -wide with the clear intention of
passing the slugger. - .
MAT TRY TO CLBAIT-UP
During this season, . when it was seen
thai pitchers were continuing to ; pass
the . heavy hitters when there were men
on bases, many other rules were sug
gested. Some of them will be consid
ered, . I suppose, when the big" guns of
the game , meet next winter to make
another try at : cleaning up the game.
But I. : don't know it seems to me that
the whole thing will depend on the um
pire's ability to tell "what'a la ; the
pitcher - bean. The best . suggestion
that I've heard is "this: that all passes
be for two' bases Instead' of ' one. Get
this situation: there are men on second
and third "and a heavy hitter is' up.
Under this . seaaon'a rule the pitcher is
in are easy position', because all he's grot
to do is to make a disgusted face as
he sends each wide one up the lane td
give the umpire the Impression that he's
trying to cut a corner off the pan. The
batter walks and the next -man up,
who may not be so strong with the old
pick, handle, ; pops to the infield. . . He
may hit into a double play, perhaps re
tiring the side without a run. And there
yon are.' v - ' -i-'w.
.- Tha heavy swatter has been about as
useful, as a cork leg to a Broadway
chorus girl. - If - he'd had a -chance to
clout the ball ' he ' might have won the
game. And that's what the fans came
there to see him try. Do you wonder
they ran the twirlers .every now and
then?
OBBS AGAIXST BATTER
Every time a batter faces a pitcher
the natural odds are about seven to
three against him.-- You can .prove this
Dy taxing a look at the batting aver
ages, which ' show that the hitter with
a percentage of .300 for mora than 10
games is an exceptional man with the
stick. Scouts go wild over .300 hitters.
a. team oi .3uu sluggers would be a
good bet to win a pennant, fielding with
one arm tied. However you look at it
the pitcher has it on the batter by. more
than two to one. Why should he look
for a bigger cinch than that ; what more
does (he want? - ; :- '
The victim of the Intentional pass
hasn't a Chinaman's chance to hit. But
if you give him two bases or if you
advance all runners1 two bases Instead
of one, you've got your pitcher in
box; he's rot to pitch. - ..
Just to show you how this pass busi
ness, works. X was walked 101 times in
the season of 191S. And this season
they're doing even worse. Do you think
the ' intentional pass 'rule " is working
overtime this year? Neither do-1 ! In
our recent series in St. Louis I came np
With two men on bases, " and the ball
game was in my bat. I always feel like
a home run, so I felt as thousrh I could
knock in three runs and the ball out
into Grand avenue. ' What happened?
I walked. Three raizing sneers for the
Intentional pass rule ! We lost the
ball game.

would prefer to have htm go down the
line to a square conclusion with their

park on the circuit. The St. Louis fans
themselves booed their 'pitcher for not

TEMPTATION TO WALK
Of course, there's a great temptation
to walk the man, but after all winning
isn't all there Is to sport. Bellevinsr
this, I never gave an Intentional pt
in all- my life, even though the manager
signaled for one from the bench., Any
batter who thought he had more in Uis
club . than I had on the ball was wel
come to sten right" up and take a fair
swing at fair pitching. , He had a
chance to win his ball game. And if
he walked he knew it was because I
could not find the plate. I wut doing
my best. -' , .- ..,';.
r Of course, on every - ball - team there
are men whose playing skill lies in the
field, and 5 who- are carried along On
that account although their managers
know them to be weak at the bat. With
Rome of these fellows, "waiting for a
walk" Is good business and. hua become
a j science. Little fellows particularly
are hard for some pitchers to serve and
they - are likely to draw pannes. x As a
rule they lead off with the idea of
getting to first, no matter how. Thi-t
is good, fair baseball,- because If a
pitcher cannot" find the plate and put a
fast one over it - the batter , deserves
something for his Judgment.
But, have you ever noticed how often
these weak hitters get in the hole with
two strikes and one ball and have to
swing at the next? The pitcher doesn't
seem to have so much trouble finding
the plate against the boys who usually
pop to the infield as he docs against
the home run getters.'
Next year. 1 hope, and I know you
hope with me. that . we wlH have an
effective way to compel the moundsmen
to play the game. I leave it to the
fans whether the intentional pas was
meant to be a part of the grand old
ball game. Those loud boos whenever
a slugger is passed are answer enough.
