Costly Error By Bayness Costs Game; Mohler Pitches
4" Great Game; Pelicans To Protest From 8th Inning Be
,1 . cause Of Oeschger's Spitball
Back on the homo grounds after
an absence of two weeks, confident
of Tictory and with at least 1S00
ens to spur them on the Pelicans
dropped another heartbreaker after
-' 11 Innings of wonderful ball. The
Weeds lived up to their reputation
'. . of winning a ball game, regard
, less of the tactics. Oeschger, their
hurler, pitched tine ball, especlal--!y
when he used the spltter, which
Is prohibited In this league. The
- .game will be protested to the league
directcTS, and the Pelicans hare a
protest coming If the opinion of a
majority of the players and tans is
to be considered.
The game was aa sensational as
has ever been seen here. A ninth
'inning rally which tied the score
'and eventually forced the game Into
' .an 11 frame affair was a hair
i ralserj
A costly error by Bayness in the
"second Inning Is what really lost
' I'the.'game. The Weeds took the vic
$ J-ory in that Inning without having
"-secured an earned run. It was like
this'. ' Painter, the first man up
was hit by 'one of Mohler's pitched
balls. Stb'bener filed out to Watts.
Noe laid an easy Toller down to
third base, which should have gone
ouCbut Bayness let It get away
' from him and it rolled to the out-
field WIon, running for Painter
'sccred on the error. The speedy
' '' No tore around the bags from
j first to: third before the ball reach
j i lnfiald. The . attempt to , nail
i' Noe' at third from the outfield
was' wild and Noe dashed In tor the
"iecond' tally. The Weeds 'had said
their - little place for nine long,
scoreless Innings, but that little
... t run piece was what won the ball
game.
The Pelicans didnt solve Oesch
' gw Ttntlf -the fourth when Mathews
got. a 2 bagger with 2 down. Noel
went ont on a long, fly to left field,
fa the'.. fifth the; Pelicans gave an
ominous warning that they were
about to get to the big Oeschger.
Arnold singled with one down. He
went to second oa a sacrifice by
Demitt. Mohler got a pretty single
and Arnold tore In with the first
tally. Oeschger saw he was no
match for the Pelicans without re
sorting to the "spltter." And ap
parently he did resort to ft The
1 Pelicans didn't have a ghost of a
show until the 9th, after they had
protested the game and were watch
ing the big Weed hurler like a hawk
' to see that no mud or spit went
' on the ball.
The ninth was a real sensation.
The Pelicans pulled up in the last
half a run In the rear, Mathews
struck out. Noel got a 2 bagger
and the stands went wild. Clark
rolled an easy one down the first
"bane line for the second out. It
was up to the Pelican first sacker
- to save the game, nad say, the big
boy socked out what should have
been a home run, and the winning
run. When Noel crossed the plate
with the tying tally the roof was
jarred from the grandstand. The
ball hadn't lit when Arnold reach
ed first. The big boy was on
second by the time the Weed fielder
had run the ball down. He was on
third as the ball was sailing through
the air on the way to the Infield
to be relayed by the shortstop. Ar
nold was homeward bound from
third when the coach called htm
back. It was a heartbreaker.
What should have, been a homer
went tor 3 bases. Demitt, the next
man up popped to Grant and the
game was forced to extra Innings.
Mohler was going strong in the
tenth. The Weeds met their fate
In one, two, three order, two of
them- whiffing. It was In the 11th
that the Weeds did the only stick
work that amounted to a hill of
'heads1.'' ' Mohler was burning them
'in, but' despite the southpaw's ef-
"fdrts the Weeds bunched 8 hits on
him, one two-bagger and one
triple. When the last half of the
11th ended the Weeds were 3 runs
in the lead. The Pollcans could
not rally, although they did get
two safeties in that discouraging
11th. . i

Pelican Squawks
If any fan failed to get his four
bit worth at Sunday's game, see
l.ee Crawford, and his money will
be refunded. If still unsalaried
call at the News' office and a
season paas will be donated. It
still unsatisfied see ;n alienist.
Bert Arnold was taken from
the lineup two weeks ago because
he failed to kick in with a hit.
The big boy was the sensation of
Sunday's game. He played' a fault
less game at first. He took one
fast hit ball out of the air that
looked to be a sure hit. The
boy Is all right.
Furthermore It was Arnold who
scored the first run after getting
a safety In the Sih. Hut his real
right to ;the hall of fame was
earned when he tied the score In
the ninth by bringing Doc Noel
lu with a triple.
And speaking of Doc Noel. He's
earned the reputation of being
one of the most reliable hitters
on the team. He got a single
and double Sunday, merely to
keep his batting average around
the 400 mark.
Al Norwest went haywire Sunday.
Great things were expected of the
flashy shortstop. I'ntil Sunday
be led the. league with the stick.
He hit a terrible slump Sunday,
though, fannlug three times on
Oeschger's curve balls. In his
flro times up he failed to get on.
"Sunny" Mohler worked a little
piece of humorous strategy nn
his opponent, Oeschger. When
"Sunny" faced Oeschger tho first
time, the Weed hurler expected
him to blto on; three wide balls.
Then he expected Mohler to stand
there and let three strikes go by,
but the southpaw socked the first
good one for a single.:
But Mohler had his inning when
Oeschger next faced him. Ho
threw three balls and then let
Oeschger strike in the air at three
strikes. Mohlor wore a grin a
mile long while Oeschger failed to
see the humor.
This bird Ocochgor Is no make
shift as a hurler. In 11 Innings
he struck out 13.
Mohler pitched a mighty flno
game. His only bad Inning was
that costly 11th. when tho Weeds
hit his fast ones tor a triple,
double and single. Mnltlnr's big
Innings was the sixth, whsn the
top of tho Weed butting order
struck out In a row.
In Ihe.lltb, with a Weed run
ner on 3rd and one down, Kner
bunted one to Mohler. The south
paw made a quirk run. scooped
It up and tossed the ball to De
mitt. all within a fraction of a
second. Ilut. unfortunately, the
Weed umpire derided Demitt
failed to tag the Weed sliding
Into home. He was out a font
or more. If there were doubts
about other decisions the cer
tainly was none among the fans
on this one. .
Clnrk. Watts, Norwest and Pain
ter made sensational stops and
catches that added a big league
color to the game.
"Mickey" Dumltt playrd his
usual heady game behind the bat.
The Pelicans aro fortunate In
having the little go-getter on
their string. Demitt and llayness
are light with, the stick, though.
They are about due to come out
of It. This Is a slugging league
and the Pelicans have got to keep
In the swim or else sink In the
percentage column.
Bert Conk figured tho gnmo
would only go 9 Innings. He
measured out a plug of tobacco
for each Innings, and by the lltli
waa plumb out. The game was
lost. Another error of ontmlsslon
for Bert.
It was noised around at league
meotlngs that no team rouM Im
port out-of-town players. That
was before the season 'opened.

While Attempting
Score for Yankees
NKW YORK. June t. A weak
and wan Dabs Ruth, who has wait
ed away a rouple of carloads since
the. day when he developed that na
tional ache lu his stuffing, relumed
to tho game today and played so
hard that ho dropped In his trarks.
Waller Johnson was pitching for
Washington. The new Ilnbe Ruth
was new business to blin when the
great Invalid want up to bat for the
first lima In the league season of
1925, as the Yanks first hitler of
the second Inning. Johnson couldn't
know wbnKier the Ilabu waa strong
enough to knock a' foul tip or hoist
the ball Into the next precinct.
Johnson offered, a fast one, down
the slut, and Ruth with a leisurely
swing, returned It straight to the
elderly Scandinavian, who took the
ball on a bound and tossed Ruth
out ay first.
It was In Ilia fourth Inning that
the Babe folded, up like a mall order
bungalow and lay panting In the
loom along the base line. iKarl
Combs, one of the now boys wbo
have been run Into lha Yankee line
up since the oo! lapse began this
spring, had led; off with a single.
Ruth let tho first one go by. Ills
eye was still good.. The umpire
called It a -ball, its lashed at the
next one and mlaeod. Tbe third
and fourth, he fouled, one of the
fouls sailing to tho bleachers. If
It had landed a few Inches to the
left, the Ilaba would ,hava bad s
home run In his first game of the
season. 8o Johnson prudonlly
walked him.
Bob Meusel, hitting behind Ruth,
hit a. three bagger, and the Babe
east.' Several others came up
from California semi-pro, ball.
The Pelicans will know better
next season. It's all lha bunk,
this home town talent propaganda.
It's a league of first class semi-
this Klamath-Rlsklyou. ,
