with Goodwin In the box and "Slats'
Davis behind him Los Angeles had
pretty slim show for yesterdays game
Goodwin threw the game away In the
early innings by sending his fast ball
To the plate, This particular ball has
a little shoot to 1t and when put at the
plate goes wide of the strike boundar-
les. When Goodwin wasn't giving free
masses to first he was falling around on
the field when he should have stood up
and going to sleep over the ball when
he should have been specially wide
awake.
This was the chief cause Of the di1h-
Guilty and Davis helped 1t along with
some particularly rotten decisions. But
then 1t was a losing game for the An
gels-so what's the use? Goodwin
realized his errors after the game was
lost and in the last three innings
pitched good ball. Jones, who did the
box honors for Portland, was a little
poor at some stages of the game but
was certainly effective at others. The
fielding of neither team was all that II
might have been and the work of
Toman at short was not calculated 70
inspire enthusiasm. There was some
excuse for Toman, though-he had
bum arm resulting from a wrench.
Portland Scores In First
Portland scored two Of her six runs
in the first inning. This is getting to
be a habit with Portland but Good
wins wildness was chiefly responsible.
He opened up by passing Atz. Van
Buren, and Mitchell each beat a bunt
and then with three men on bases
Goodwin hit Schlafly with a pitched
ball and forced in Atz. Van Buren,
scored on an error.
No runs were scored in the second
inning but a pretty double play was
made when Jones and Atz were doubled
out by Flood and Dillon. Double plays
were features of yesterdays contest.
There were four of them. each team
making two. Sweeney, Schlahy and
Mitchell made one for Portland and
Schlafy and Mitchell the other, while
Cravath and Toman made the second
for Los Angeles.
Mclean Cuts Second
In the third inning, Mclean made a
three base hit into left field but was
called out and put out of the game and
fined by Davis for cutting second base.

riot. Portland protested in a body but
Davis was ready for them. He evil
IDENTIFY expected trouble during some
stage of the game, for he had three po-
licemen on the ground and at the first
hostile moment of the Portland bunch
he called them into the diamond. But
the hard slugging of the lengthy
catcher had been sufficient to score
Van Buren and Schlafiy, who had pre-
viously been passed to first by Good
win. This gave Portland four runs and
Los Angeles had not yet scored.
In the fourth inning Conrad, who had
replaced Mclean behind the bat, beat
a bunt while Goodwin went to sleep

third and then Atz singled, bringing
him across the plate. 1t was in this
inning that Los Angeles got one run
Dillon bunted. Conrad got the ball and
threw 1t in the general direction of first
base but hit the Los Angeles captain
in the back, thereby merely Fastening
his progress. Cravath singled and ad-
Vanced Dillon to second and then Ross
singled but Dillon was caught in u
run-in, trying to stretch it into two
bases Cravath reached third and Ross
second during the miX-up with Dillon
and then "Gavy" crossed the plate
while the pitcher was busy with an
other base.
In the sixth Smith started by beat
ing bunt and Cravath did the same.
Ross singled and Smith scored on Con-
RAIDS error. Toman singled and Cra-
vath scored. Spies had a fine chance
to bring in Ross but couldn't reach
first before the ball got there.
In the seventh inning Portland got
its last score of the day. Atz walked to
first and Van Buren followed him on a
bunt. Mitchell singled, scoring Atz.
The score:
