ground preserver Pop" Mcvickars was
about to touch the bonfires when Um-
pire Derrick called time in the twelfth
inning last evening as San Francisco
and Los Angeles were fighting out
long drawn game. Another round
might have been dished up before dark
ness. but Derrick had left his night
lamps at home and there was nothing
to do but leave. -,
One thing about Derrick: no one will
be In doubt Of his decisions. The vet
eran indicator man has real voice
which echoes like a calliope pipe as the
strikes and balls go over. And then
Derrick is as exclusive as John ID.
Rockefeller, to whom he bears a great
likeness.
Derrick likes to stand afar off by
himself. as Irwin and Wheeler of the
Seals learned yesterday when they APP
preached too close to the dictatorial
sanctum and received orders to run off.
Jimmy Toman managed to nose III
once, and although not sent from the
field, took advantage of q broad mint
to remain absent. -,
During the early innings Derrick did
splendid work and hardly kick was
registered, Irwin's protest being the
only affair of its kind.
Irwin'S protest was based upon a
very apparent fact, however, as Al
ans, after singing to left, stopped on
his way to first, laboring under an i'm
preston that he had hit foul. Brashear
scored from second, and naturally r.
win came back for long line of talk.
George Wheeler, however, viii tell
you a tale of woe concerning what hap
pened in the eleventh. George received
a bad wallop on the leg, which Der
rick took for foul strike. George,
though limping from the clout, was
able to enter lusty argument, which
availed him nothing but pass to the
side lines.
Fans blinked their eyes and wondered
what sort of line up Manager Berry
had sprung yesterday when the Angels
trotted out to their positions. Kitty
Brashear was at first, Moore held down
third, while Jimmy Toman was
switched to short Adams, semi-pro-
fessional, was at second, and incident
ally drove in the two runs which were
tailed in the Angel column.
Along about the sixth inning a high
foul went whirling toward the left field
bleachers. "Heinie would get it" came
the yell. Sure enough, Heinie did get
it. Our old German friend was be-
hind Parke Wilson'S rubber but some
of the bleacherites were not wise until
Heinie ran out after the long one.
Heinie can certainly nail the bad
ones, and during his forty-seven or
more years at the game has not been
known to let any of them get away
from him.
Angel swatters secured the first run,
which was annexed in the fourth.
Crava tn singled to center, and taking
advantage of Spencer's tumble, con-
tinued on to second. Brashear Sacri-
-. 1A1 20 nd
Gravy came in. Carlisle flew to left.
Spies made bad throw in an effort to
catch Adams at second, and the latter
reached third. Jimmy Toman struck
out.
Irwin scored for San Francisco in the
fifth. The captain led with single to
left and went to second as Walthour
was hit by a pitched ball. McClelland
cleverly sacrificed both. Spies flew to
Cravath and Irwin scored. Brown
flew to left.
There was some excitement in the
Angel camp during the last of the fifth.
Eager started with a single to left, but
was forced on Burns attempted sacri-
flee. Bernard in turn forced Burns.
Moore sent long single to right and
Bernard kited around past third, think
ing to reach home. Too late Curtis
turned back to the difficult corner, and
was nabbed
Cravath saved things in the sixth by
a fast throw from the field. Spencer
shot one to left and Wheeler attempted
to sacrifice, the ball dropping in front
OF Eager. Bobby sent it to second in
bad fashion and both were safe. Mohler
hunted to Burns, and the latter was
guilty of poor piece of Judgment in
trying to catch Spencer at third, the
latter being safe by big margin.
Hildebrand flew to Cravath and Gel
cry made haste to reach the plate,
catching Spencer and completing a
double play.
Derrick had his troubles in the sixth,
though they proved Twins undoing.
Irwin has been ruled from the field
four times within twelve years, and
Derrick has sent him away twice. Af-
ter the first man had gone down,
Brashear doubled to right. Adams
smote hard one close to the third
base foul line. and Brashear loped
home. Adams, in the meanwhile,
stopped on his way to first but scooted
on when he saw Brashear come home.
Derrick allowed him to remain safe,
and there was a large commotion
among the Seals. Irwin kicked long
and hard, ending by receiving a lay
over card from Derrick.
Burns worked fast in the seventh and
the first three Seals went out on as
many balls.
Moore's error on the bases lost pos
sible chance of scoring in the tenth,
when after reaching first he ran to
second as Cravath flew to center, being
caught by Spencer's throw.
Nothing startling occurred during
the last few moments of play, with the
exception of the Wheeler episode in the
eleventh, when George received a life
sized wallop on the leg only to hear
Derrick say foul.
The score:
