"Good-by, good-by, Dolly Gray,
sang a chorus of bleacherites at the
ball game yesterday afternoon while
the pitcher of that name looked dis
consolately about and noticed that the
Greeks had three men on bases and
no outs in the ninth inning
Gray had his bad inning as usual
and it came in the first of the ninth,
when the score was four to three in
favor of the locals.
Dolly started his trouble by walking
Francks and then Bliss came through
with a single to right and Smith
walked --,-- -
Francks stole third while Dolly was
looking at him and Van Haltren came
up and pounded one to deep center,
Francls scoring on the throw-fn. Then
the fans sang and Captain Dillon took
the gentle hint and sent Dolly to the
bench, while Blonde Tozer trotted to
the slab.
The bases were full and Tozer was up
against q hard proposition, but he
pitched only one ball, sending it gently
inward SO that Kruger, smashing hard
for a liner, sent the horsehide to Atz
at short and the side was retired on
double play, Atz to Brashear to Dillon.
Bliss former catcher for the Uni
versity of California team appeared for
the Greeks and the only real live play
ing by the visitors was done by the
college man.
The youngster not only received in
high class form but pounded out
two base hit at u time when his team
needed it and figured as the chief per-
IN, T11a
BleXraud, a tall, thin specimen, ap-
peared in the box for Oakland and
lasted until the seventh inning, when
Captain Van Haltren thought that
Blex needed the rest cure and a young
southpaw named Smith went to the
slab. He was well received by the
Angels.
Oakland Leads Off
Oakland scored first in the third in
ming after Blexraud had singled on
Brashear's muff, and Van Haltren had
doubled to center and Dunleavy had
ripped off a single. Blex did the scor-
ing and Daddy Van was caught at the
plate.
The Greeks repeated their perform
ance in the next inning when Bliss
doubled to left, scoring DevereauX, who
had singled.
In the fourth inning Los Angeles
woke up and the fun began. A second
tally was annexed in the next inning
and then the Seraphs engaged in a lit
tie swat fest which netted them two
runs.
Oakland came back heavy at the fin
ish but failed to make good and the
Angels were not required to take their
last inning.
A great crowd was out yesterday and
several hundred women were in at
tendance. Today will be the last Ia
dies day" for the week and a fair
crowd is expected to visit the park
and see Oakland break the losing
streak, assisted by Friday, the thir-
teenth."

warm ones for the visitors while the
Angels will leave their fate in the hands
of Iozer or Rusty Hall.
