Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-14

'Ah NASAiCS says lndI bhSbDull uOtHn
pay In Los Angeles and that he is will
ing to get out of the game, for time at
least II the local manager hadn't been
in such hurry to catch the train for
San Francisco yesterday afternoon he
might possibly have changed his mind
regarding the backwardness Of the
Angel City public.
When an automobile crashes through
ball park fence because of anxiety to
witness the home team wallop the
foreign element off the face Of the earth
1t Is difficult to understand the argu-
ment Of Morley that no interest exists
as regards the game.
Automobile Crashes In
With crash that Jared upon the
stands and bleachers and caused Right
Fielder Walters of the Fresno aggrega-
tion to run for his life, q wild chug
wagon shattered the outfield fence yes
terday afternoon. But for the fact that
a Jagged scantling fell through the rear
wheel spolSes a new record for auto
speeding would have probably resulted
across the Chutes park diamond.
In connection with the usual Sunday
afternoon excitement in the Chutes
park gardens an automobile performs
the gap Gaping feat, driven by young
colored boy The juvenile Ethiopian
yesterday neglected to use his steering
apparatus at an opportune moment
with the result that the machine
plunged head-on into the right field
fence and entered upon base running
career that was nipped because of the
numerous splinters which became
mixed with the locomotive power.
Probably Morley will put in a claim
for damage or charge 1t to the expense
bill as another item in the losses which
he claims to have sustained during the
recent career of the Angel team. The
local magnate has Withstood various
losses in connection with the diamond,
but when they commence driving auto
mobiles through his fence dn an en-
deavor to add to the heap of pecuniary
loss 1t would not be surprising If the
Angel team was disbanded without
further argument.
1t was not sufficient that the
Angels should thoroughly trounce Mike
Fishers bunch of ball tossers during
the week, and as Sunday celebration
the Fresnoites were treated to an extra
q, le of the medicine which they have
been receiving since first they lined
against the Seraph team. BY a score
of to the initial game OF the double
header was annexed, and when the end
came late in the afternoon another vic
tory had blosSomed on the board which
read, So.
The Seattles and Fresnos, from their
showing on the local diamond, appear
outclassed by the Seraphs, and the
Portland aggregation of Judge Nc
Creedie looms up as the only obstacle
which has as yet figured on the local
grounds. Should Jud Smith and Fred
Raymer join the Portland nine the
Mud Hens wiz possess a formidable
infield and one calculated to give the
Seraphs a race for the rag.
The batting of Kitty Brashear en-
livened the second contest yesterday,
and Pretzels Smith, who essayed to
do the slab work during the last per-
formance, received rousing welcome
after his long absence from the Angel
battle-ground Just to show the little
German that they were glad to see
him back and that he hadn't learned
a thing since last he was here, the
Seraphs opened fire in the first inning.
Young Ellis singled to left after
Bernard struck out, and a moment
later trotted home as a long fly from
Brashear's bat sailed somewhere into
the region beyond the left field fence
The swat proved exceedingly popu-
lar with the crowd and Mr.. Brashear
was told nice things galore when he
sauntered in from the circuit
NNd'ShVl lIcaShWOOQ VI Tic Il
was called famous in the second round,
when after corraling a difficult foul
From Tozer's bat, he made quick shot
to second, mailing Eager, who had en-
deavored to steal as Eastwood yanked
down the ball.
Fresno started as though they really
meant to have the game, and put a
run across in the first inning.
Walters walked, and took second
when Charley Doyle banged a hard
one down the infield that Atz managed
to block with one nit. Casey dropped
a bunt along the third base line which
Toman drove to first before the Irish
man reached the bag.
Truck Eagan and Walters evidently
had a bet on as to whether Walters
could reach the plate before Truck
connected with the ball, as the fielder
was waiting at the plate when Eagan
slid bunt, on which he was assisted
out at first by Toman. Mclaughlin
famed.
Angels Take First
The first game was an easy money
proposition for the Angels, and to
Artie Ross went the credit of mixing
in double play that scintillated with
the sensational.
Walters had singled to left and was
forced at second by Doyle. Casey
drove a safe one back of third base
and Eagan followed with another in
the same place. The situation appeared
black when Mclaughlin came to bat.
Mac sent a long hard one to left which
looked good for two sacks. AS the
crowd was prepared to watch three
tallies be recorded, Ross with a great
sprint reached for the sphere and
nailed it with his left hand. Doyle and
Casey had started with the hall and
the former succeeded In getting back
to third. Casey however, was too
far on his way home and a quick
throw by Ross completed one of the
fastest doubles witnessed on the local
grounds.
Jimmy Toman proved himself the
sacrifice kid yesterday and out of four
times at bat advanced runners with a
well placed bunt at each attempt
The scores:
First Game
