WREST VICTORY
FROM DEFEAT.
ANGELS MAKE SIX RUNS IN
EIGHTH
Oscar Jones Batted Out of Box by For
mer Team Mates-Rusty Hall
Assisted With One and Two
Base Hits

Oscar Jones, the Brooklyn twirler
and formerly of the Seraphs, along with
Miller, another of Russ Halls pet slab
men, was swamped with an avalanche
of hits in the last half of the eighth,
and what had looked like a defeat for
the Angels was turned into decisive
victory by a score of Z to in the open
ing game of the series with Seattle at
Chutes park yesterday afternoon.
The score in the last half of the
eighth stood to / in favor of the Cubs,
and Oscar Jones had been handing them
over in good enough style to keep the
Angels on the lower shelf But the
eighth was his undoing, and Miller,
who was sent in to relieve him, met
with a reception that he will remember
until the present series have become
thing of the past, for during his in
cumbency wonderful stunt was pulled
off. Warren Hall made hit, not
mere single but two-bagger to the
center field fence.
Jones Batted From Box
Jones went in for blood, as he would
rather down his former teammates than
any team in the league. But 1T was
no use. and after leading him on for
seven innings and giving him one run
to the upper as a sign of good fellow
ship they turned on him, and Russ
Hall, in mercy, was forced to send him
from the box as the Angels were TAX
ing the largest kind of liberties with
him.
The less optimistic were starting for
an early car when Bernard came to the
bat in the inning which blasted the
Seattle hopes. A thump in the ribs was
what Bernie received and he took the
initial bag Flood forced him and
things appeared anything but promis-
ing. Tim started for the second sack
and Blackenship's throw came in con-
tact with Smiths bat. The Doc was
called out and the remainder of the
crowd stood up Tim purloined the
keystone sack and ray of hope shot
through the cloud, when he annexed
third in sensational style. Kitty Bra
shear came UP and in the midst of the
din walked for the third time during
the game. Pandemonium broke loose
when Cap Dillon shot one into left
scoring Tim and tying the score Bra
shear going to third. Jones was soar
ing higher than kite and walked
Cravath and Ross, forcing Kitty for
another run. Bobby Eager stood at the
plate, and the first one the erratic
Oscar sent up was wild. Russ Hall
took hand then and there and Jones
ambled toward the bench.
Eager Scores Two
The Angels came to him in the kindest
manner possible, and Bobby, not to be
left out of the fracas, shot another
single to the outfield, scoring Dillon
and Cravath. Croll attempted to head
off Ross as he rounded into third and
the ball went wild, the little fielder
crossing for another tally. Warren
Hall stepped to the plate and the run
getting was conceded to be thing of
the past, as the idea of the Russ figuring
in the batting column, even with the
base hits fairly sizzling through the
air, was too much to expect, and the
Seattle outfielders started to come in.
A moment later they were making a
wild dash for the fence as long low
fly went sailing to center. BY the time
the ball came back the slabman was
resting at the midway station and
Eager had crossed with the last score
of the day.
The Siwashes are a lively crowd and
played the fastest kind of ball Every
trick of baseball lore enters their play
and Perrine was busy calling balls on
batters whose hands held more than
the usual allowance of fingers. The
crowd could not restrain a yell when
Bennett raised a cry of mashed hand
on one of Halls benders which landed
near the hitting end of his bat.
Baum or Nagle will do the pitching
for the Angels today and Shields will
probably go on for the Cubs.
Game will be called at 2:30.
The score:
