OAKS-TRIM SEALS AGAIN AND CLIMB TO SECOND PLACE She- SOUTHPAW KANTLEHNER HAMMERED FROM BOX BY ONSLAUGHT OF OAKS IN SEVENTH THURSDAY EVENING St Ignatius Basketball Team Closed Season With Reco rd to Be Proud. Of Pertica Stars When Angels Beat Tigers TIMELY BINGLES BY LOCALS CINCH GAMES Buz Arlett Holds Enemy Safe, While Little Playmates Hammer Southpaw Bees Win by 3 to 1 Score From Beavers McCredie Starts James in the Box After Game Is Lost. Prough Wins First Gamefor Sacramento Lets Rainiers Down With Four Hits for 3 to 0 Victory. By BOB SHAND The Oaks rose right up and bit th Seals in the neck again yesterday twice In the same place and Howard's men are now riding along; easily In second place with only the Angels above them, and it would be a mighty mart ball club that would climb ahead of the Aigels.

However, with only the. Seraphs fluttering above their domes, the Oaks look mighty good and they are liable to bust" all conventions and precedents and things before many days by climbing to the top and looking down on the Angels. Yesterday's score was 5 to 2, and the pill was Just as bitter as the one lipped the Seals the previous afternoon. And, take It from your humble correspondent, those Seal rooters were MAD. They were even madder than that, but we have no larger type on this machine.

And thtey can't blame Harry Harper this time, for the Oaks tried to pick on him without i 1 111 results. Harry took care of five flies in the outfield and he never looked as though he was to bobble any of them. The guy the ardent Seal rooters are picking on today is Charlie Graham, the boss of the Seals. They want to know why Charlie did not yank Mr. Kantlehner from the proceedings in the seventh inning after he had walked a- pair of batters.

This was excellent evidence that the big southpaw bad lost his cunning, but Graham does his own thinking and did not heed the well meant advice from the grandstand to "Take him out." A sacrifice, a hit and another walk were produced by the Oaks before Smith was substituted for Kany, lut the ball game was completely and entirely lost before the Indian got Into the picture. Billy Lane crossed the platter with a run for Oakland in the first frame. Little Bill bit off a bingler, went to third on Wllle's hit and scored on Murphy's out. Tho Seals knotted the count in the second when Kamm doubled to score Caveney, who had singled and reached second on a sacrifice. Rowdy Elliott doubled against the right field fence and scored on Wllle's single in the fifth and the Seals tied her up again in.

the seventh on three wallops. The fireworks came in the seventh when the Oaks pot three 4arge tallies and the ace the Seals got in the eighth did not do them any good. if if if Del Howard used his noodle in the eighth when he did some substituting and the Oakland boss deserves part of the credit for the victory Morse and Eltlott waited out four wide ones and Ware, sent in to bat for Buz AHett became a martyr for the cause, both runners advancing. 'op ArieU was snt in to run for Elliott, who has.not made the 100 in ten at fr a log time. Billy Lane answered the call by shooting a clean bingler that brought Morse scurrying across the platter, and Wilie drew a walk to clutter up tne runways.

Kanty was yanked right here and Casey Smith assumed the white man's burden. I Rod Murphy greeted Casey with a one-ply clout and l'o Arlett and! Billy Lane hurried home to mama with another pair of tallies. Denny: Wilie' was killed off at the platter on an attempted double steal and Hack SALT LAKE, April IT Eddie Heer's Salt Lake Bees honned Into third nlncn yfterday afternoon by defeating Walter IMcCredie's Beavers of Portland by a i ra score, the Beaver bees trotting out Lukanivic and Lefty James in hope of stopping the Bes. james went into the bo- for the ieaver in the eeventh Innlnr. but it I was too late as the Bees had already made their three runs.

Dukanovic pltdhed a heady game, but a few walks which he allowed eot him into most of his trouble. Earl Sheely, Mulvey and "Tub" Spencer each connected for two nits to fattening the team hltltng average of the Bees. Oliham and (ioehler were used as pinch hitters and both failed to deliver. 1 Markle performed in the box for the Bees and although he allowed only five hits, he managed to Jceep the Bee boss I worrying by walking five batters. Two fast double plays featured.

April V-Clinton Prough, the big right-handed hurler which Manager Bill Rodger secured from the Oaks in trade for HerbBren-ton, made his first start in the box for the Coyotes a successful one by pitching them to a 3-to-0 win over Rill Clvmer'a Seattle Rainiers yesterday afternoon.

Prough uncorked all his stuff and held the Rainiers to four hits, the same num ber that the locals got off the pitching of Mains of the Rainiers. Roxey Middleton, another man secured from the Oaks in trade for Denny Willie, was the big fellow with the stick for the Coyotes. The former Oak pasted out two of the four hits off Mains. Maybe It was because Babe Pinelll had a little too much speed in his feet that the Rainiers are Just a step from the Coast league basement, as Babe pilfered three bases and scored two of the three runs. Lyle Blgbee was sent to the plate to bat for Mains in the ninth Inning and responded with a two-bagger, but his teammates could not shove him around the plate.

Pay Day Doesn't Come Often. By Cowan Joe Connolly Picked on the first pitched ball in the first Inning for a clean single. Buz looked surprised.

He thought Joe might have looked a couple over before getting busy. jc Corhan forced Joe at second and there' was a double play In sight when Conolly bumped into Morse as Hap was aiming the ball at first. The Oaks protested but that did not get them anything. Kamm's double in the second was lucky, as he should have been killed off at second. Miller's throw was none too good.

Harrv Harper was given a great hand when he grabbed Bill Sturnpf-s fly in the second. The booze cagcrs were getting ready to ride the Seal center fielder but he fooled them all afternoon. McKee crossed. up the Oaks in the seventh and got a hit for himself. There was a man on first and none down, so the Oaks played in for a bunt.

The red head smacked the ball past Murphy. Carl Zamlock ran for McKee but was killed off at the third sack on a beautiful throw from deep right by Denny Wiljo. Taking it all in all the Oaks are doing very nicely, thank you.
