Los Angeles, 4; Tacoma 1.
Rusty" Hall had his game pinned
down nicely yesterday. After Charley
DOYLE had skated over the terminal
rubber in the opening canto, there
was a depressing absence of activity
upon the part Of the gentlemen from
the region of dampness and goloshes
In the vicinity of the terminal patch.
The slapping on of fine to the
amount of ten ducats seemed to stim-
ulate the men from Tacoma town to
great efforts in the initial period and
It was then that they saved themselves
from one of those obliterating dips In
the calcimine tank.
Tommy Sheehan. the laddie who how
ers about the third patch when the
Tigers prepare to annihilate the enemy,
was handed c. o. D. line of talk when
he made his appearance at the plate
Tommy aroused Davis ire Friday when
he made some ungentlemanly, but
none the less eloquent, remarks while
on the bench.
]. Ira thought Tommy failed In re-
spect and discipline and he resolved to
add to the duties of the league bursar
with Sheehan as the victim. So when
the little Tiger ambled innocently to
the plate in the first round, Davis adj
dressed him in a most businesslike
tone and informed him that before the
game was continued some one would
have to come through with five of the
silver shekels. Neither King Fisher
or Tommy was disposed to argue the
matter and the Tiger manager sent a
youngster out to "Sats" with the nee
essary weight. "Sats" was pacified
and the visitors went to work without
a gap in their ranks.
Escape Shutout
Doyle poked neat one over Jud
Smiths head which the big boy couldn't
nab, although he threw a half-Nelson
flip in the effort. Doyle scurried down
to second on passed ball, but Sheehan
went away on high bump to left.
Nordyke followed with an easy lift to
Toman, which the stubby shortstop
grabbed for keeps.
Eagan followed with place to Hall,
but the big man evidently had an at
tack of the misery in his wing and
slammed the ball verst or two over
Capt. Dillon's head and when the ball
had been herded into play again Eagan
was clinging to the second pillow and
Doyle had clattered over the plate.
But the Tigers hopes ended when
Mclaughlin expired on drive to Tim
Flood, which was never dangerous.
One, two, three was the order in the
second round for both contingents of
the sphere chasers. Toman pulled off
a neat turn when Charley Graham
soused him one which had the wollies
to it. Jimmy let it play tag with his
tootsies for couple of seconds and
jabbed 1t over to Dillon just in time to
tear Grahams aspirations by inches.
First for Seraphs
In the second period the Seraphs lit
on Fitzpatrick for their first clatter
around the circuit. After Dillon went
to the bench on a drive to Eagan
Cravath ambled to the first corner with
out taking a shy at the ball. Ross laid
down a short one to Fitz and Cravath
was forced through the rail at the
second stop. Eagan covered the bag
and made a neat one-handed pinch of
Fitzgerald's wild pass. ..
Toman was the next lad to manipu-
into left while Nordyke and Hogan en-
deavored to pass the honors to the
other man. Ross was nudged along 10
third on the play and when Charley
Graham endeavored to nab Ross off the
third bag Toman performed an annexa-
tion ceremony with Charley Doyle's
pillow.
Fitzpatrick decided that 1t was time
to call it off and when Heinie Spies pre-
pared to slout the ball he unwound his
choicest productions.
Fitz passed over hard. low ball after
he had two of the futile swipes lodged
up against Helnie and Spies waited
away. The sphere got through Gra-
ham, however, and rolled back TO the
grandstand, while Spies established
connection with the first bag and Ross
dented the rubber.
The Angels dragged their second
around in the sixth. Smith started off
with a walk and Dillon sacrificed him
to second. Judson thought it was time
to do little bag grabbing unaided and
he staged a neat steal with the third
angle. And then Cravath came through
with a two-horse poke to the amidship
garden. which brought Smith over the
pan.
Two In Eighth
1t was in the eighth that the real big
