Those who were on hand at Chutes
park yesterday afternoon will certainly
never squeal over "thirty-five-cent
BALL. A double victory for the Ser
apis, two nine-inning games in an hour
and forty minutes, one of them in the
record time of AIN minutes and the
temperance of RUSTY" Hall COM
bined to make the day long remem-
bered in local baseball annals. The
fans were not treated to the usual
caseless effort upon the part of two
teams when they get together in an
effort to wipe two games off the sched-
ule before train time.
The first session between the Seraphs
and the Athenians was an errorless
affair, both contingents of sphere chas-
ers putting UP glt-edge interpreta-
ton Of the national game.
Rusty Hall again went into the
box for the natives, after rest of
about seven weeks, and showed that
he had lost nothing by his extended
siesta. The big lad had his usual as
sortment and but for two timely sin
giles in the seventh would have locked
the door on the visitors.
Los Angeles cinched the game in the
fourth inning, bringing two men to
the terminal, and while they secured
another completed amble In the eighth,
they really didn't need it and raped it
out just for meanness.
Commander Dillon opened the fourth
for the local men and dropped the
sphere in right for a clean SINGLE
Brashear followed with single rap to
left and both men were advanced a.
notch on Ross infeld out. Cravath lit
on the ball for hard wallop to the
center fence and Dillon and Brashear
were cleared off the bags.
The third arrived in the eighth, Ber-
nard lifting a single to right and stole
the next two bags, while the Greeks
were saying unkind things to one an
other. Oscar Graham, the mound art
ist for the visitors, became so "het up
over Bernard's progress around the
sacks that he threw the ball away and
Bernard romped home. The teams
went at a two minute clip and when
the ninth inning was ended they had
been in action just forty-seven and one
half minutes, the game having been
called at 1:30.
The northerners brought their lone
completed amble around the sacks in
the seventh. Kruger tore off a single to
left and went to second on Bobby
Eager's passed ball. Bill Devereaux
came along with the timely clout and
Kruger put dent in the rubber.
There was no rest for the weary be-
tween the first and second games,
Goodwin doing the twirling for Los An
geles and Busher Pierce for Oakland.
The locals brought their first two over
in the second. Brashear singled to
right and Ross followed with a double
to the same pasture, and both men
scored on Cravath's hard drive to CEN
ter. In the fifth after Goodwins strike
out, Bernard and Flood singled to left
and both scored on Smiths hard dou-
BILE to the scoreboard. Smith made it
five, riding in on Dillon's double to CEN
ter.
Two hits and walk let two Athen-
ians score in the third. Kelly doubled
but was forced at second on Stanley's
rap to short. Pierce was ticketed and
both men came to the terminal on Dun
leavy's double to center. In the sixth
Dunleavy and Kruger singled and
were cleared off the bags on Hogan's
double to left.
The figures:
LOS ANGELES.
