Los Angeles 9, Portland o


A more disgusted assemblage of fans
probably never occupied bleachers and
stands than that which filed from
Chutes park yesterday afternoon, be-
fore the eighth inning had been con-
cluded.
the score, and Celery Cravath at the
plate anXiously endeavoring to connect
for the single which would send Artie
Ross in from second base, the crowd
was at pitch of excitement.
Of a sudden Captain McCreedie of
the Portland aggregation trotted in
from the outer gardens and ordered
his men off the field. Without inform
ing Umpire Mcdonald or Offering eX
plantations to Captain Dillon of the
Angels, the mud hens unceremoniously
departed for the club house and doffed
their uniforms. Mcdonald awarded
the game to Los Angeles by a score
of to 0.
The Portlanders were desirous of
catching the Owl train which left at
o'clock and Captain McCreedie declared
that there was not sufficient time re-
naming in which to finish the game.
Fans RIed
What riled the fans was the fact that
McCreedie chose to leave the field just
as a strong probability of tieing the
score hove in sight. and various ex-
pressions rejecting upon the unsports-
manlike action were greatly in evil
dence.
Manager Morley of the Angels i'm
mediately ordered that the Portland
snare of the gate receipts be withheld
andta rush was made to secure the
lucre from the possible inroads of the
Portland crowd
AL Levy superintended the operation
and the fans gathered around the box
office and watched the disappearance
of the ducats which they had paid to
witness ball game.
Levy carried a large brown valise and
without waiting for the customary ac-
counting held the bag while the money
changers rammed the coin into the re-
ceptacle. Keep it back from the win
dow sill so no one can grab it, said
AL, cautious lest the Portlanders might
deem it advisable to make raid.
A large sized automobile was ready
and Levy, with the long green stored
safely away scooted for town before the
Portland boys appeared on the scene.
Back at the club house McCreedie
and Dillon were engaged in jaw fest.
The Angel captain was angry and hot
words flew plenty between the tall
leaders.
Fortunately for the Mud Hens, tick
cts had been secured and they were
able to leave without awaiting money
from the north. No hotel bills were
paid. however, and explanations were
in order to the hostelry men.
Until the sudden termination of hos
tilities the game was a nip and tuck
affair, with first one team in the lead
nd 70 Iol1
the Angels and Henderson of the Port
landers were wild at times and six
passengers received free transportation
to first base.
The value of Dillon as n first base
man was instanced several times dur
ing the game. when the lengthy Angel
corralled rainbow throws that were
we'll on their way to the bleachers.
Lister. at the initial station for Nc
Creedie, also got away with a corking
good stop when he nailed with one
when Sweeney fumbled Halls grounder
in the fifth and then threw wild to first.
Both teams scored in the second in
ming and the Angels went after Hen
derson in the third for two more. The
round proved a real article of ball.
Bernard walked and took second on
Ross sacrifice. Bernie started for third
with HenQerSOnS arm, ana Dy the CleV-
crest sort of a slide reached the bag
ahead of Donohue's throw. Brashear
sizzled one wide of first base, and be-
fore Lister could cross the sack Kitty
was safe, Bernard scoring. A moment
later Brashear darted for second and
continued to third when Donohues
throw went on to center field.
Cravath was at the plate and Hen
derson attempted to catch him snoOz-
ing, with the result that a wild throw
allowed Brashear to tally. Cravath
walked, but was forced by Dillon, who
was caught stealing.
The Mudders also negotiated for two
runs in the fourth Sweeney and
Mitchell singled. Lister sacrificed and
McLean's easy bounder to Dillon took
nasty bounce and careened to right
field, placing both the dabs across the
plate.
