Seattle 3, Los Angeles 1.
The Seraphs have the rather small
consolation of knowing that It took
eleven innings to do 1t, anyway. Con-
trary to all established rules of form
for team that has not escaped from
the bottom notch Of the percentage coll
season, the Swashes played pennant-
winning ball yesterday and bundled up
the first game Of the series with Nor
ely's men by clean and lusty sticking
in the eleventh period 1t was a rude
shock to the Angelic host in general and
Roscoe Miller appeared on the mound
for the northerners and with the excep-
tion of the eighth inning, when his of
ferings were clouted for three hits and
one completed amble around the sacks,
he pitched shut-out ball.
X Gray held the enemy down until the
fourth inning when the Siwashes brought
their first run over the rubber on one
Hone safe binge. The Angels managed
to extract a grand total Of seven hits
from the productions of Miller while the
enemy trapped Gray's slants for eleven
Safeties
In the fourth Kane opened with tor,
rid drive to Gray, which dolly" couldn't
handle, going to the first corner on the
only hit of the inning Blankenship laid
down neat sacrifice and Kane continued
his bearings and let both Hart and
7lFrary walk to the first corner and fill,
ing the bags. Lefty" Houtz unlimbered
Bernards mitt Bernards pass to the
plate in the effort to nab Kane was yards
wide and the fast little Siwash found
plenty of time to spike the rubber.
Seraphs Escape shutout
In the eighth three singles saved the
Seraphs from the dreadful ignominy of
a shut out at the hands of the cellar
champions Spies raped liner down
second way and went to No. 2 on Gray's
sacrifice. Bernard expired on a jamb to
McHale, and the outlook wasn't .particu--

pillow. Flood raped hard single over
second and Spies formed the rear and
vanguard of the Los Angeles procession
in the direction of the rubber.
The Siwashes failed to get on the bags
In the ninth. Brashear opened for the
locals in this period by driving out
hard single to center and promptly an
nexing the second bag; but "Kitty's"
good work failed to produce material re-
suits. In the tenth Ike Walters raped
out fine double to left. Ike continued
along to third on Kane's sacrifice. Blank
enship walked and Hart raped a fast one
to Brashear The Seraphs' acting short,
Walters was nabbed in a lame attempt
to connect with the rubber. Frary was
the only man of the Seattle team that
failed to get swing. at the sphere. In
the eleventh and deciding round. And
to make it harder to bear, all the business
began with two down. Houtz opened by
McIale was pensioned on a wallop to
center. "A clean single by. Russ Hall to
right was Immediately followed by Mil
lers triple to center, clearing the Seattle
manager off the sacks. The northerners
set to work to get another, Just for mean
ness for they certainly didn't need 1t.
Walters scraped off a safe one to Gray
and Miller had completed his journey
before the Seraphs' twirler could recover
the ball A walk and another single
didn't get the Seattle men anything, and
Hart ended the Siwash desire for some
more by passing up foul to Jud Smith.
Ross was the only local laddie to get
on the sacks when the .Seraphs secured
their 'licks'' in this inning. Dillon flew
to right and Brashear couldn't use rap
to short Ross was then handed his
amble but Cravath ended it all by shat
tering the ozone.
