ATHLETICS DEFEAT THE FAST OCKLEY TEAM

One of the Prettiest Battles of the Season Took Place at Athletic Park Sunday, The Athletics and the fast gang from Ockley engaged in one of the prettiest battles of the season Sunday. Ockley has a good clever 'bunch of pill pestiers and came here with the reputation of heating seme of the fastest clubs in the state. Swenson was on the mound for the Ockley bunch and pitched a fair game. The Athletics hits came in dusters and a few passes mixed in did the business. Clark had the visitors helpless and when the game was over their hit total was found to be 2, and one of these was made by Harry Mason, an old battery mate of Clark. It was a screeching triple over Jimmy’s onion in deep right. Harry tried to make the round trip but was nipped at •the rubber when Joe made a perfect heave.

The visitors got away to aonegun lead in the second inning, the only one they got during the afternoon’s pasttime. Beard singled and when he started to steal Wilcox made a bum peg which Quille knocked down and Beard started for third and Eddie threw it over third, Beard counting. The Athletics came right back in their half and took the lead, never to be headed. Elder walked and Clark singled, Elder taking second. Lefty Clark, surprised even himself with a triple to the left field fence, scoring Elder and Clark ahead of him ai.d sewing up the game, dark was left stranded at third while his mates went out. The Athletics added two more in the third ju ! st to make safe. Jimmy was out. Wilcox singled and Parks copped another. Quille flew out. Elder sent a c rshing three* baser to deep center field, which should have been a homer but bounced back, holding Joe at third and scoring Wilcox and Parks ahead of him. Ockley never had .another chance to score excepting on Mason’s long hit mentioned above. The Athletics annexed their last run in the sixth. Clark bunted and Mason heaved over Downey’s head and Clark went tothlrd, scoring on Morgan’s well placed bingle to right. The features of the game were a peg to the plate by Elder and a double play from Quille to Clark to Clark. Swanson was safe on an error and took second/on a passed ball and wks sacrificed to third. Cloe bunted to Clark and Swenson attempted to score but was tagged out. Clark came' in from center field and took Clark’s throw at second, nipping doe. The Athletics played good ball in all departments. (Morgan, Parks and Wilcox played stellar ball. Lineuip and summary: OCKLEY.
