Seraphic Lineup a
Puzzle
Los Angeles 8, Portland I


simple proposition compared with the
trotted out on the diamond at Chutes
park yesterday afternoon to down the
Webfooters by score of TO 1.
Score cards were thrown away I'm dis
gust as the Seraphs came to bat and
some Of the fans spent half of the game
locating their favorites.
And all this because of Tim Floods
fit of anger last Sunday. President
Bert of the Pacific Coast league has
spoken and Tim must play no more
at least on the Pacific coast. The pride
of local fandom is to hang up the suit
which has done yeomen service by the
Keystone bag and lay down the bat
that in the past brought more than one
iiotous outburst of joy from the Chutes
park stands.
A telegram received from Bert yes
terday afternoon by Umpire j.. Ira
Davis red: Il have expelled Tim
Flood and suspended Jud Smith for the
balance of the season. Positively do
not permit these players in any con-
test"
Whether there is any limit to the ex-
pulsion will not be known until further
word arrives from Bert.
But the fact that most concerns local
fandom is that Flood will not play
again on the coast, and the passing of
the popular player will be q cause Of
regret to thousands who have witnessed
his work. He erred and the punishment
is severe.
Manager Morley and Umpire Davis
stated yesterday that they did not know
whether Floods expulsion would bar
him from league ball throughout the
country.
T,,1 a5 in
bleachers and for the remainder of the
season will not be seen in a Los An
geles uniform.
The Portland team was confident yes
terday and the small crowd that braved
the biting air prepared themselves for
anything that might happen. There
was no beating the new team, however
and Spindles Baum allowed but one run,
and that on a close decision at the
plate.
Spies Back in Game
Heinie Spies, delighted to get in the
game again, frisked around the first
bag like a Hal Chase, and Cap Dillon
held down the place made vacant by
the passing of Tim Flood from Cali
fornia diamonds.
Toman's playing at short shone ur
with all the brilliancy of his old-time
form and several difficult ones were
gathered in and snapped to first that
had the racing qualities of base hit.
Kitty Brashear was over where Smith
used to pick them up, and the regular
third baseman was not missed yester-
day at least.
The infield worked like a charm, con-
sidering the sudden makeup, and per-
nant hopes are still alive in the breasts
of the fans who were out yesterday.
ErGf in q
initial inning, when Bernard went to
first on a slap in the ribs from the arm
of Bertie Jones, got second on passed
ball and loped to third on Ross out.
He scored on Brashear's out.
The McCreedites came back in the
sixth. Van Buren reached second on
Dillon's error and scored on McHales
single to left
The seventh saw things doing for the
Seraphs, and two more were chalked
up on the safe side. Brashear doubled
to the center field fence, took third on
Dillon's sacrifice. To all appearances
Jones Intentionally walked Cravath. but
to no purpose, as Kitty came home on
Spies sacrifice. Cravath scored the last
run as Mitchell juggled Atz' throw of
Toman's grounder.
Jim Morley was the bluest man in
town as his new team ran out for yes
terdays game but from the ball they
put up things will go on in the same
old way.
Schlafly's envelope will be So short this
week. as he ventured too strenuous an
opinion regarding a decision by Davis
The fact that it was the last inning
prevented him being ordered from the
game.
The score: st
