Umpire Guthrie Mobbed By Indignant Fans Umpire Bill Guthrie was mobbed by excited partisans of the Oaks in the ninth Inning of the morning game when he called McLarry safe at first on a play that would have retired the Angels scoreless had the verdict gone the other way. As it was, Koerner scored from third with whaE proved the winning run.

Hoots, jeers and a tumult from bleachr and grandstand was followed by a uhower of cushions directed at Guthrie. Then a number of excited fans Jumped onto the field and play had to be suspended. As soon as the game was over, a crowd of several hundred men and boys oursued both Finney and Guthrie to their dressing room. Oakland police reserves were sent for, but proved unnecessary, the ball players, headed by Klawltter and Chance, protecting the arbiters. On May 24, last, year a similar scene was enacted, this time with Finney as the center of disturbance.

The Oaks were shoved deeper Into the cellar and "Speed" Martin got his first real bumping of the season yesterday When Frank Chance and hla Angels finished their road trip by copping a double bill from Elliott's crew by the score of 6 to 4 and 10 to 6. Poor pitching coupled with some faulty umpiring cost the Oaks both games, Elliott using no Jess than six pitchers during the day In effort to etem tho Angel fusailade of runs and hits. Claxton, Indian southpaw, received his nrat touch of Coast League treatment in the a.

Dear Sir Believing it is up to me to make a statement of the record of the Oakland Club up to the present time, I desire to submit the following: During the training season at Boyea Springs, from the closest observation of the ball players of the Oakland Club, I became firmly convinced that we had every prospect of a club that would surely be a contender for the pennant. ICach player oh paper from his past performances showed that he measured up to Class-A A company in fielding and the entire club's record of batting Indicated they -would hit as a club aPound .270.

The Infield with Barry at first, Kenworthy at second, Barbeau at third and Davis at short looked evenly-balanced and reasonably fast. 1 believed then they would prove the eaual if not superior of any Infield In the league and I am still of the same belief. In the outfield, with Gardner, Middleton and Lane, the first two could not be questioned as to their hitting power and all around value to any club. Lane's speed and finish promised wonderful good for the ciuu, Our outfield has been strengthened with tbe addition of Cook from the New York Americans, who has hit for the past two years In the American league around .300. With his experience, speed and fielding ability he should be as good an outfielder as there is In the league today, Of our pitching staff, the work of Martin and Prough speaks for Itself.

Beer and Boyd have done everything asked of them, and while their percentage of wins has been small, the club has not hit behind them and many of the games they have lost should have been won with any kind of offense. 1 believe they are both good, winning pitchers and will come through with great credit to their club. Klawltter has been slow to get In shape. In all my experience as a player I have never known a pitcher who has been more anxious or has tried harder than he to get Into shape. I believe In his game of yesterday, which unfortunately was lost, he had as much on the ball as in any game he worked last year and 1 am very hopeful that from now on he will be considered as one of the reliables of our pitching staff.

In the catching department I haVo myself done most of the work with Griffith as second-string catcher. He Is dependable, but a trifle slow. In young Elliott graauauy tailing on experience, i peueve we nave tne making vi a ursi-DLriiig t-aiL-nrr.

Time of game 1 hour and So mln. Reading' the Green Wille rf Portland got four hits out of five times up In the morning. Oakland fans put in a big day roasting Umpire Guthrie.

Louis twice. Bill Steen had nothing in his repertoire to confuse the Saints and Salt Lake won. 8 to 2. Although the Seals errorless ball behind Steen the Salt Lake batsmen hari their hlta artistically bunched and did the little business witn ease. Pan Francisco onlv deserved one run off Plereey.

The Seals got that ace on clean hitting, and the second resulted from a frenzied heave on the part of Shortstop Orr. While the Giants are spurting in vne National league, take a look at Vernon spurting in The P. C. L. tram Pott erann'e Tlararja Tbted On from Portland.

With the co-operation of the club owners, I am making every effort possible to secure two first-class pitchers and hope soon to announce their names. Fans must remember that good pitchers are a rarity and that they cannot he gotten in a day.

xFor the first four weeks of the season the series played against Salt Lake, Portland, Vernon and Los Angeles the Oakland club played fine ball, with good hitting strength, fair fleldlngiand effective pitching; In fact, they went Just as they figured, with every indication of continuing. In the fifth series against Ban Francisco, we lost six out of seven, four of the six games lost being lost by one run, the closest margin possible in baseball. Without attempting to alibi, I have no hesitation In declaring that In that series every break was against us; that we played Just as good ball as did the opposing club, only to be nosed out through the breaks of the game. Nothing la harder on a club than to lose game after game by one run. The result seemed Inevitable that a slump would follow; the heart, for a time at least, was taken out of the boys; their confidence was gone and since then every break of the game- has been against them.

Our Ditching, excent these results: We should hit around and with any kind of support or breaks support they have so far given myself that their ionglng for a winning team on rare occasions, has not been bad, heaver tossed the pill wide to second and were on. Koerner tried to steal third, and wan ninncri hv Boles tasged the ball for a safety over second and McLarry scored. Btanrirldge, who was doing the mound work for Chance, and Magarert both walked to start the third. Kills then beat out a bunt and the bags were choked. "Wolter singled to Cook1 territory, scoring Pete, and when the ex-Tank fumbled the ball, Maffgert also scored.

"Dutch" Klawltter then took the mound and finished the winning without damage. The Oaks the score In the fourth when Elliott tripled, scoring threa men yhead of him. Roxy Middleton stole home In the seventh to give the Oaks a 4 to 3 lead, but the Angela tied It up when Koorner doubled and scored on two Nflrrlfin fllua Ti Mlnfk Ulnl. "-r A 1 1 Ior umpire Quthrle, who was the storm-center rain of cush Ions, gave the game tne Angels. Ellis singled and went around to third when Barry hit him on the back with the ball when he was trying to mike second after being caught off first.

Wolter grounded to DavLa. who threw perfectly to Barry. The play at first was close and Outhrle called the runner safe, giving the Angela a 5 to 4 Victory. The Oaks went out In rapid order after the crowd's wrath had subsided enouar'i to allow the Oaks to finish their half 0 the ninth.

On top of it all, we have had the misfortune of much bad umpiring, On at least four occasions, palpably wrong decisions of the umpires have cost us a ball game. It is bad enough to lose through one's own weakness or errors, but to have them taken away through a bad decision when the game Is won means about the breaking point. I know the umpires of the Coast League are honest' that they give the play as they see it, but such decisions as we have had here on Thursday and Sunday are pretty hard to stand for. if they produce the effect on the spectators as was demonstrated Sunday, what must be the effect on the ball club? I believe In conclusion that our slump Is over; that the boys will show their caliber from now on; that our pitching staff will soon be strengthened and that we will start to move in the direction of the first division. I thank ItKCOKDS.
