Los Angeles 2; Tacoma l.
After seventeen innings of ball bing
ling the men who don the mitts TO
Los Angeles in the Pacific Coast leagu
managed to put another crimp in thu
Tigers tails yesterday afternoon. Sew
enteen periods in the league record fol
the season and the horde of fans WHIT
journeyed out to Chutes park to SEE
the fray on the Sabbath stole belief thai
they had witnessed the keenest exhib.
ition Of the national game that haf
ever been staged this side Of the
Rockies.
Dolly" Gray did the slab honors for
the Seraphs, and that the Morleyites
finally pulled out winner was largely
due to the effectiveness of this lanky
young man in producing the shoots.
For seventeen of the long, weary
rounds did the contingents of diamond
lock which was produced in the sixth,
when both the visitors and the natives
succeeded in dragging one Of their COM
patriots around the sacks.
The Santa Clara battery was in
action for the Fisheries. Bobby
Keefe, who used to NOV down the
baseball enemies of Santa Clara college
when he attended in days gone by,
unlimbered his salary wing for the
Bengals during the entire serenade, but
seventeen was his limit and the Ser
apis finally took to his curves for vic
tory. 1t was too bad of course, but it
had to be done.
Bobby deserved a better fate and
the manner in which the Angels soused
him around the lot in the long remem-
bered final period, was a sad sad blow
to the professional aspirations of that
modest appearing young gentleman.
How 1t Happened
Things progressed along quietly
enough with nothing to excite comment
horizon. 1t was then that the Angels
got to Keefe for two safe swipes and
while the Tigers were one behind, the
final results were just as satisfying to
the rotund manager seated upon the
northerners' bench. Jud Smith was
really responsible for making it a sew
enteen inning battle, for If the tooth
carpenter had passed the sphere trife
more accurately, Charles Doyle would
have expired at first and the Angels
would have romped away with shut
out in the ninth. But it was not to be.
Doyle showed along teaser to the big
Seraphic third baseman and it looked
like an easy down. But the sphere had
a contrary mood and passed a couple
of lengths over the big Caps" head,
while Charley trotted along gleefully
to the second patch. Tommy Sheehan
came through with a neat sacrifice and
Doyle was urged along to the last
pillow. Nordyke was the next lad to
manipulate the big stick and he dumped
down a great bunt. Flood came in on
the ball, but Timothy thought the
chances of nabbing Doyle at the rubber
were decidedly slim, so he did the next
first while Doyle clattered over the pan.
When Egan followed this up with
double 1t certainly looked like couple
for the men from Tacoma town. Egan
shot a two-horse swat to the left pas
ture which Ross couldn't get his hands
on. But Mclaughlin ended everything
for the Tigers by poking to short,
Truck being pinched while endeav-
oring to establish connection with the
third corner. And after that for eleven
long innings there was an absolute
void In the run column of the men
from the north.
Score ls Tied
But the Angels came right back in
their half of the sixth. Tim Flood
started off hostilities on a single drive
to right that couldn't have been placed
better. Jud Smith then came along
with his trusty stick and swatted one
down the left foul line and Flood found
