Los Angeles 4. Tacoma 3.

Los Angeles 4, Tacoma 3.
After pitching eight innings of shut
out ball, Rusty" Hall, the largest and
weightiest asset of the Los Angeles
club in, the twirling line, experienced
an acute attack of the misery" in his
salary wing and thereby hangs tale.
The big slant artists arm went back
on him just when the men from Ia
coma town became reconciled to the
idea that the home plate was not for
them.
Magnate Fisher distributed promis-
cuously large fiery wads of imprecation
from his throne on the bench, but even
the confident and complacent leader of
the champions had about given up hope
for turn in fortunes tide when GER
tain and divers remarkable things oc-
Cured to the delivery of a worthy,
ycelpt Warren Hall.
Bobby Keefe and Charlie Graham
the Santa Clara battery, operated for
the Tigers, but Keefe's productions
were clouted around the lot with an
noying and pernicious frequency by
the Seraphic host.
There was nothing to 1t but Los
Angeles until that ninth inning ap-
peared on the horizon. Dillon's men
had brought three men around the
sacks and can be excused for browsing
on their hard earned laurels.
Hall loosened up bit from his effec-
tive work of the preceding innings in
the eighth, being found for a total Of
two hits, but he appeared well able to
take care of the game.
In the eighth did the northerners go
to the bench without even lone cir
cult completer to their credit. but with
fierce and threatening determination
to retrieve the fortunes of the day.
But the Seraphs felt safe with three
compatriots around the sacks.
TIGERS Find the Ball
Nordyke was the first Tiger to swish
the timber for the pennant possessors.
Dyke was urged, coaXed and threat
ened to do something with the stick
from the Tacoma bench, and in evil
dent fear of his life he smote a pretty
base drive to left territory. Then the
mighty Truck Eagan took his home
run tree and hied to the plate. Truck
took two swings at the sphere before
he was able to lift it away for a safe
drive over Tim Floods pillow. Two
men on the bags and none down gave

Casey disappointed his hackers by
forcing Eagan at second on a scrape
to Brashear.
But there was a man on the third
bag anyway. Nordyke was Tacoma's s
hope on the last cushion. Lynch, the
big centerfielder, was there with the
big stick and sacrificed neatly down to
Dillon which brought the vanguard of
the Fisherman over the last patch.
This looked bad, but when Mclaughlin
lit on the leather for single drive
over the second bag it appeared a bit
squally for the Morleyites. McLaugh-
Inns swat placed Casey on the third
angle.

ham prepared for action. Graham
proved a pinch hitter of the 1S-carat
variety in this instance and soused the
ball along for a double to the port
pasture, Casey leaving the rubber be-
hind him with minutes to spare. This
made two of them and placed Nc
Laughlin on Brashear's corner. The
fans who were lucky enough to be
there settled themselves back and pre-
pared for an extra inning game. And
the Seraphs with a quart of blood in
each eye prepared TO eat up Brown,
who was the next lad to linger at the
plate.
Score Tied in Ninth
Hall was groggy at this unhappy
period and his seconds were shortly to
pass up the sponge. "Rusty" was un-
able to control his twisters and he
