ANGELS SHUT OUT
FOR FIRST TIME
CHARLIE HALL Is lNVINClBLE
AND SEATTLE WINS
4 Seraphs Play Dead Ball and Do Not
Contest Game Sufficiently
to Arouse Excite
ment
BY Edward Moriarty

Had the Angels made any sort of a
fuss about being shut out for the first
time during the season by the Seattle
aggregation yesterday afternoon, the
big crowd might have experienced at
least some consolation in the defeat OF
to 0.
AS it was, the men whom Jeems Nor
ley hires to play the national game.
performed In exceedingly mediocre
fashion. They were docile as lambs
and succumbed before the clever pitch
ing of Charlie Hall without murmur.
The dark-skinned twirler Of the ST.
washes evidently had the Seraphs
hypnotized, for when connection was
occasionally made with the leather, they
generally objected to the route down
the first base line and dallied long
enough to allow several fumbled
chances to be chased around the in
field and then landed at first ahead Of
them.
Three of the Northerners' runs came
as result of errors in connection with
easy chances. Although credited as
base hits, several of the bingles secured
by the Siwashes were bounders over
the infield that In many "a game would
have been stabbed before they sped 60
the outer gardens as hits.
1t was an off day all around for
Cap. Dillons men and they appeared
unable to exhibit signs of life during
the contest. Nevertheless a let down
from the brand of ball they have been
dealing out to visiting teams thus far
is bound to occur occasionally and the
Angels loss came partly in the nature
of q novelty.
Charlie Hall was the invincible boy.
and although majority of the Seattle
runs were due to Seraph errors the
speedy box man deserves the credit of
pitching winning ball.
Ralph Tozer was out on the slab for
the champions and the Seattles took
occasion to fatten their averages coll
siderably at the expense of the tall
pitcher. His support, however, was no
incentive to strong exertion and the
Siwashes made him weary with the
constant use of their stick.
Halls contingent was not altogether
intact when it came to fielding and
both Rockenfield and Heitmuller were
guilty of errors that would have
shamed a school boy.
Cravath and Atz were mixed in the
brightest bit OF fielding that was ac-
credited to the Angels during the game
and continuation of the exhibition
would have resulted in a tooth and
nail entertainment.
Frary had bounced one over Jimmy
Toman's head in the fourth for single
into left. Russ Hall ambled down on
four wide ones. Charlie Hall drove one
to Kitty Brashear which just cleared
the second baseman's head as 1t took a
nasty bounce. Frary tried to score
on the single but Cravath had the ball
ahead of him at the plate. Kane drove
a swife grounder to Atz, who tripped
across the bag forcing Hall, and sent
the ball to first ahead of Frary.
Atz also made a peculiar throw in
the fifth inning which, while it netted
nothing, was consummated accurately
under the circumstances. Heitmuller
drove a hard grounder between third
and short. which Jacob barely managed
to reach with one hand. In his un-
balanced state he took long chance
at throwing wild, but succeeded in
shooting the leather squarely into the
outstretched hands as Dillon, a second
after Heitmuller had reached the bag.
The third inning was the most dis
astrous seance, of the afternoon and
when the Seattles had touched Tozer
up for three singles in succession, two
tallies were hung out on the Siwash
score board.
Russ Hall was out on grounder to
Dillon. c. Hall thought better of the
situation, however, and peeled off a
scorching two-bagger to center. Kane
fouled to Ross and Rockenfield singled
to left, Hall going to third. Walters
bounced one to Atz that would have
gone for hit despite the tumble which
resulted. Hall scored on the bingle
and Rockenfield came across with the
second run when Heitmuller singled to
right. Mott ended the scoring by strik-
Ing out. The summary:
