nd. O. Los Angeles. 4.

The men from Portland town evened
things up bit yesterday, much to the
discontinue of Messrs. Baum and Hall
of Los Angeles. The Seraphs romped
over the rubber four times In the first
inning and thereby escaped a shut-out'
for it was unhappily the only let
down" Of William Essick-slant vend-
er. After the Introductory period, Es-
sick pitched consistent and mysti-
fying brand of ball and the Angels
couldn't entice another amble around
the circuit
Baum went in to pitch for the Nor
leyites. and while he appeared to have
everything in the twister line, the
enemy took so gleefully to his produc-
tions that he was detained on the
bench at the expiration of the second
period. Rusty Hall was ordered into
action to try his trusty and omnipo-
tent wing against the onslaught5 of the
Portlanders. But Rusty" didn't seem
to have the right parcel and the men
of McCredie bounded him around the
lot in a really fearsome manner.
By the ninth, all of the dignity and
ambition was knocked out of our big
twirler and it was necessary to tap
the gong four times before the Seraphs
had chance to swipe the ball. A
double play, the third of the game,
however, put final end to the little
hope Dillon's commando entertained of
doing something material with the
stick.
Portland Leads Off
Portland struck easy going in the
opening round. "Jakey'' Atz raped
out a double to left and was permitted
to amble to the last pillow on a balk
by Baum. Van Buren awaited four
bad ones, but his aspirations were
nipped a moment later on a pass from
Spies to Flood. Eddie Householder
swiped the Spaulding to left and Atz
dented the rubber without hurrying.
Schafy ended the northerners' hope for
more" by retiring on a high foul to
Heinie Spies.
The Angels came right back in their
half of the first and certainly did
cause distress to the Oregonian pitch
er. Bernard opened with a hard single
down short way and stole the second
bag. Flood laid down a neat sacrifice
and Bernard continued along to the
next patch.
Smith slipped down another sawed
off bingle, this time to Essick, and Ber-
nard was tagged at the plate, Smith
going to second Essick lobbed over
a wild one which big" Mclean
could't basket and Jud advanced an
other notch. Dillon jabbed a pretty
one over Schafly and Smith formed the
vanguard of the Seraphic procession.
Cravath walloped a hot drive down to
Atz and was safe on that gentleman's
untamed pass to Mitchell.
Three for Angels
Artie Ross then possessed himself of
the billet and padded up to the plate.
Arturo ripped drive through Mitchell,
which also disdained the NIT of Judge
McCredie, Ross stablishing a safe con-
nection with the third angle and clear
ing the sacks of Dillon and Cravath.
This was three of 'em, but there was
still something to occur in the COM
hard single to the port pasture and
Ross clattered over.
Portland went right to work in the
second and hammered our Charles
Baum for two british doubles and a
single. Mclean lifted out a two horse
mop to the popular left pasture and
Mitchell bounced one past Judson
HnT hn ird
corner. Runkle slipped the hide along
to Flood, but Mclean completed his
assignment and made it two for the
visitors. Then Bill Essick tore off a
torrid double to center and Mitchell sim
ply had to come around. The Seraphs
were moved down in one, two, three
order in their half of the second and
the third canto opened with Hall on the
mound.
Hall Is Easy
But these pernicious fellows from
Portland didn't seem to know the diff
ference and Rusty" was treated
shamefully. Van Buren opened the
third beating out rap to short House.

for clean double, Van Buren, coming
around. The fourth brought another
for McCredies men. Mitchell raped
a single to right and Runkle beat an
intended sacrifice. Essick jambed to
Flood and was obliterated at first after
forcing Runkle through the rail at sec
ond.
But Atz swiped the leather to left and
Mitchell made it five. Until the ninth
and thankfully the final excruciating
inning there was a promising quietude.
But how they did thumb Rusty" in
that NINTH Mitchell opened with a
double to right and Runkle scratched
bunt, which neither Hall nor Smith
could agree on, although 1t appeared
to be Halls ball. Essick singled TO left
and Mitchell scored his third run Atz

into right, Runkle coming over. Eddie
