Los Angeles. 4. Tacoma, ?.

Los Angeles, 4. Tacoma, =.
Little Mr.. Goodwin escaped with his
game yesterday. but the team behind
him had to pull all kinds Of sensational
stunts in order to enable the Little one
to salt down his game.
Every member of the local team took
a turn i'm the limelight yesterday. and
J. Ira Davis. otherwise the Posey Kid
was reduced to a frenzy in his praise
worthy endeavors to retain the center
of the stage.
The Angels had on their batting gar
ments yesterday and registered twelve
hits off Fitzgerald, most Of them COM
ing in lunches of two and three.
Dillon gave the fans their first
chance to come in with the close har-
mony He led off in the second with a
clean hit through the pitchers box.
Rube Waddell, who has never been re-
garded as Daniel Webster's equal for
brains. might have gone after that hit,
but Fitzgerald made the "on your
way" sign and passd it up, thereby
showing his deep sagacity.
DlllO1 NdDDCi at ldhN
out in center the ball ran into Fatty
Lynch and stopped. Mr.. Lynch is a
very wide young man and takes UP a
lot of ground in the garden. Cravath
pushed his chief along with nice
sacrifice and Ross contributed hot
liner into right field. Dillon, who is a
firm believer in the saying. Every
little helps" tried to score on the
hit, but Hogans wing would not stand
for 1t and the handsome one died at
the pan, beaten out a nose in a thrill
ing finish.
Ross kept on to second. and when
Toman hit to center field the fast little
fielder hiked for home. Lynch made a
perfect throw, but Ross nosed the
leather out. The decision was close
and four Tigers advanced into the
arena to tear the epiderms from the
the umpire. Stats began revolving
like a badger surrounded by a pack
of dogs. and every time his leveled
forefnger found a Tacoma player that
party halted in his tracks. 1t was Ira's
opportunity to show what he can do in
a mob scene and he quelled that in
cipient riot in just about ten seconds
1t costs a ball player plenty of rea
money to disagree with Mr.. Davis.
Nordyke's Hedge Lift
A startling double play came off in
the third inning. Hogan went out at
first and Goodwin walked the next two
men. Tommy Sheehan smote the Spald-
ing on the nose for what looked very
suspiciously like fat double. The ball
was bound for the score board but
Ross made a great sprint and speared
it just in time, whirling about and
shooting the ball to second. The run
ner, half way to third, darted back, but
the throw was too fast for him, and
aided by circus catch from Tim Flood
a double was registered against the
visitors just in time to cut off two runs.
Just to prove that he was by no
means cast down by this Barnum &
Bailey work, "Fawncy" Nordyke, who
is somewhat of a limelight monopolizer
himself, came back in the fourth with
q solid clout over the left field fence
scoring the first run for the "Taggers.
Graham was safe in the fifth or
Eye Hogan's out and skated to third
when Spies tried to play football with
Goodwin's low drop. Fitzgerald scored
his captain with a clean single to left
and the Tigers went into the lead.
In the sixth Smith led off with a
single. Dillon sacrificed and Cravath
placed a fungo double in the corner be-
hind the right field bleachers. Hogan
could not have trapped this hit with a
butterfly net and the easy running den
tist galloped home with the score tied
Seraphs Win in Eighth
But the grand exhibition was re-
served for the eighth inning. Judsor
Smith started the ball rolling with E
bad one to Truck Eagan and was
safe at first. The doctor went down or
a passed bail and Dillon dropped d
bunt safe in front Of the plate. Cravatt
tried to tear Eagans roof off on a liner
to short which the red-faced boy was
unable TO negotiate and Judson clat
tered i'm with the run.
Ross poked another hunt at the
pitcher and that worthy, getting a bat
attack of the rattles, threw a cannon
ball liner at Nordyke from a distance
of ten feet. The ball carried "Fawncy'
squarely off his feet and before thu
sphere could be herded into play agair
Dillon scored the last run.
