rick Goes on warpsth After
obstreperous Fan

Yesterday was amateur day and as
q result the Siwash stickers fattened
their batting averages some more at
the expense of young Reiger, local
slabster, who met with no end OF trou-
Bile in an effort to NOV down the Sc
attle's gunners. Opposed was big
"Rube" Vickers, and though Halls
lengthy pitcher allowed eight safties
he worked easily after the lead of six
runs which Seattle attained in the
first inning.
Outside the initial round the game
was a good one and Umpire Derrick
added somewhat to the excitement by
ordering Manager Berry to find a
policeman for the purpose of removing
wicked spectator in the right field
bleachers During the early part of the
game the obstreperous fan said bad
things about Mr.. Derrick, to which the
latter took exception, and as a result
Mr.. Barry went in quest of the police.
Two good-sized guardians of the law
were sitting In the grand stand en-
joying the sport, but Henry over
looked them and was seen no moro
during the afternoon.
When the last man had been called
out Derrick made a run for the gate
and inspected all comers in a vain
hope of finding his tormenter. Some
ever, and the disturber made an exit
before the game was ended. There
is no doubt but that trouble would
have occurred as Derrick wore his war
paint and was anxious to spill gore.
The Seattles had Los Angeles at
their mercy yesterday afternoon and
there was not moment when the
outcome appeared doubtful. Horse
play was indulged in by the Siwash
bunch during the eight innings, when
all infielders came close and played
around the inner field.
Croll acted as second shortstop, while
McCune in his regular position played
deeper than did the garden man.
There was no end of trouble on the
Angel bench, where Captain Dillon
dealt out sarcasm to everybody in
general. Curtis Bernard and the Cap
tain engaged in much repartee, Dillon
accusing Curtis of loafing, while the
latter said he did not care whether he
played or not.
Why don't you put in pitcher?"
urged Bernard.
Just because new man is working
you think you are the whole show"
quoted Dillon.
You know how anxious I am to play
with you," was the rejoinder.
Seattle cinched the game in the first
when six runs were piled over the
plate. Kane, who played a wonder
fully fast game throughout, both with
the stick and on the field, led off with
a nice single to past second. In rapid
succession he stole second and third.
Van Buren and Blankenship walked.
Householder went out Brashear to
Dillon, Kane scoring.
Croll was also given a pass, and
Van Buren, scored when Strieb singled
to left Mott hit to Brashear and Kitty
caught Blank at the plate. There was
no more to come however. McCune
hit high one to right field and Cra-
vath misjudged the ball. which rolled
to the fence. Streib, Croll and Mott
scored and McCune also reached the
plate as Cravath's throw went on to
the Seattle bench.
Los Angeles scored one in the first
on two hits and a steal. Vickers did
not exert himself to any extent during
the game and was never in trouble.
Kane's base running and hitting
proved feature of the day. Seattle
pilfered four sacks and each theft
was accredited to Kane. Kitty Bra
shear appeared in the limelight when
he nailed Householder's sizzing liner
in the second inning and caught Blank
enship off second.
The score:
