Plays Fast Game
San Francisco 3, Los Angeles o

Roy Hit, the Angel discard, who was
obliged to travel north before mana
gerial eyes were cast favorably upon
him, sent his former team mates down
to defeat yesterday afternoon and in
cidentally added to the bitterness by
scoring his second shut out of the week.
Hit is a baseball pitcher from the
word go and demonstrated yesterday
that he possesses inborn diamond in
stincts which make the real artist.
1t is as natural for Hit to be way
over past first, guarding the home plate
or stopping a wild throw near third as
it is for him to speed them over at a
rate which generally results in feeble
pop-up or an easy drive down the in
field.
Fast to degree that saw the end of
the game in sight before the largest
crowd of the season had fairly settled
for the play, yesterdays contest proved
one of the best which rival aggrega-
tions have participated in at Chutes
park.
AT last the baseball bug appears to
have gained its one-time hold, and to
all intent will buzz in effective man
ner for some time to come. Perhaps it
is that snap and ginger have come for
good. Tt can hardly be denied that a
very poor sample of ball branded a
period of recent memory. Players were
not sure where their next pay was COM
ing from. Fans did not know whether
they were witnessing coast league ball
or outlaw ball or any old sort of ball.
At all events the exhibitions were of a
tawdry makeup and enthusiasm di-
minished rapidly. All is apparently
changed now and the future appears
rosy, with nothing short of an earth
quake to disturb the diamond output.
Assured salaries and keen rivalry for
disputed places are forcing sticksters to
use every energy that will tend to
make them strong with the public and
the old time spirit of fandom is arising
to the surface.
Hit UnsoIvabIe
One. two three and out was the order
yesterday during eight fast innings,
and not until the Refugees got after
Mr.. Bergman for four hits in the eighth
was there anything doing along the
firing line. Hit was unsolvable except
for scattered singles which in the ag-
gregate amounted to but five. Berg
man was also strong during pinches
and only went under for the single in
ming.
Umpire Knell had another sorry day
with balls and strikes and on the bases.
Phil has been away to the bad during
the series just concluded and it is hoped
that the northern atmosphere will clear
his erratic lamps ere he again finds
his way south.
Third Baseman Irwin, of the Seals,
started the prettiest bit of fielding to
occur during the day when he stabbed
Mangerinas swift grounder in the
eighth, whisked the ball to second Civ
ing Mohler time to complete a double
at first, after he had forced McClelland
1t was too bad-that double of the
Seals yesterday--at least from an Angel
standpoint. as prospects of at least a
tally appeared bright. The Refugees
had done well securing three in their
half and when the Angels evidenced a
propensity to do The same thing it was
hut natural that every one felt weary
when the Seraph hopes were blasted
True Ellis had struck out, but McClel-
land, the next man up. drove a pretty
single to center. Mangerina set foot at
the plate and was given a rousing re-
ception. The little catcher has played
fast ball since donning an Angel suit
and at his former time to bat laced out
sweet one. Irwin interfered with his
effort this time, however, and entered
into fast double that caught both Nc
Clelland and Mangerina in jig time
Ellis Nails Sears
Young Ellis did nice piece of work
in the fourth which. came as result
of his backing up Gochnauer in the
short field. Sears sent a high close to
the left field four line back of third
and Gochnauer after a somewhat desul-
tory run dropped the sphere. Ellis was
alongside of him and grabbing the ball
nailed Sears at second. which bag the
latter had attempted to reach.
A major portion of the excitement oc-
Cured in the eighth while the Seals
were sending across their triplets of
tallies.
Spencer opened by bouncing a high
one that McClelland, running in for a
supposed bunt, was obliged to take over
his shoulder too late for a throw TO
first. Wheeler dropped a pretty bunt
along the first base line and beat the
sphere to the bag Mohler after sending
three suspiciously close fouls toward
left, went out McClelland to Dillon, on
very much of a dubious decision,
Htldebrand more commonly known
as "siX hundred" waddled up next and
laid the willow against a Bergmanite
for two bags, Spencer and Wheeler
SSOiliiS ol tHe MT. with irwin at the
plate Bergman baked and Knell waved
Hildebrand to take third. Bergman in
the meantime shot the ball across be-
fore Hildy had reached the third sack.
Irwin hitting out to Dillon.
A big uproar occurred when Knell
called Irwin back for another chance.
Hildebrand had not reached third be-
fore the play and Knell ordered Irwin
to try again. A second effort resulted
in his losing out third to first. Williams
drove a low line to Bernard, which
bounded from Bernie's foot to left field
and past Ellis. Williams perehing on
second before the sphere was coralled.
Sears ended the inning by flying to left.
Captain Dillon and his men will leave
this morning to open a weeks series
with the Seals at Idora park, Oakland.
Next week Fresno will be down for a
series after which Seattle is scheduled
for drubbing.
The score:
