Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-31
That Made Milwaukee Famous

to the sorely embarrassed buzz wagon
possessors.
The Seraphs appeared in the new
uniforms-cream- -colored flannel crea-
tions similar to last seasons kits. The
men of McCreadie were also there with
their new toggery--blue suits with
the game was just sufficient to lay the
dust of the diamond, and despite the
gusty, cold wind that prevailed through
out the afternoon the players were not
Handicapped by the usual clouds of fly
ing dust.
After Mayor McAleer's little turn
Bull Perrine ambled out to his spot be-
hind the slab and quotha-"play ball"
And the first game of the season in
Los Angeles was on.
Bones Baum was decided upon as
the man to pass the twisters over for
the Angels, and considering that it
was his first game of the year, ana
nine innings at that, the elongated
young gentleman is not entirely to
blame for the dire things that were
tabled at the end of the third inning.
Billium French, McCreadies acquisi
ton from the New Orleans team of
the Southern league, was on the slab
for the Webfooters and finally pulled
the game out of the fire by the un-
comfortable margin of one lone run.
Van Buren was the first man to es-
say to swat the leather He swished
vainly at the first one offered by the
Seraphic twirler, but moment later
colided with a wolly one and tore off
a torrid drive to Jimmy Toman.
Jimmy was unable to meet the de-
mands of the occasion and the White
SoX hiked gleefully to Captain Dillon's
cushion. Judge McCreadie himself then
ambled to the plate and shot out an
other fast one, this time to Tim Flood.
Tim was right there pulling off great
one-handed nab and Van Buren, was
cut off at second.
Larry Schafly walloped a hot drive
in Jud Smiths direction and it looked
good for an easy hit. Jud sat upon it
with one hand and McCreadie's anxiety
to annex second made it the first dou-
BILE of the year. This looked promising
for the loyal citizens and Curtis Ber-
nard took possession of his trusty stick
with determination. He poked an
easy one down first way but Schahy,
French and Clark argued over pos
session, while Curtis settled on the
first angle. Flood slammed a nice one
through second and both men were
safe. Jud Smith countered on the bail
for drive to French and Bernard
was cut off at third. Dillon went down
to Eddie Householder and Cravath
clouted the ozone for an out.
The second bag was forbidden ter
ritory to both squads in the second
round. Householder bit at any old
thing and Runkle was easy, short to
first Jackey Atzs hopes were disap-
pointed by another brilliant stop by'
Tim Flood back of second.
Toman was the only man to connect

half of the second. Ross went out
via the Schahy-Clark route; Toman
clouted pretty one to center good for
Clark's corner, Spies passed up to-
Householder and Charley Baum didn't
find anything to his liking.
1t was the third canto that proved
fatal to the hopes of James f. Morley
ct al. And to make the pill harder
to swallow there were two men pen
stoned when the terrible business be-
gan and yet it didn't end until five
Portlanders had worn themselves out
one another over the final
patch. New Orleans Clark led off by
fouling out to Dillon. Big Backstop
Mclean up and smote the ball ter
rife clip to amidship pasture for two
of the spots and then Bill French ex-
pired on another feathery one to Jud-
son Smythe,
Van Buren opened the procession.
Van scraped teaser along the left
foul line that eluded Smith and ambled
out to the pasture, Tom Thumb Nc
Lean completing the walk around.
The Portland manager continued the
