Randolph got back into the game
yesterday and the way the crimson
headed twirler held the San francisco
Seals down was wonder. There is
no doubt in the minds of the Los An
geles baseball enthusiasts that RAN
dolph is the best pitcher on the team
and also one of the best in the league
Randolph has been out of the game
for the past week because of strained
tendon in his right side, but after a
few days on the bench and a game I'm
the field he improved so much that the
Seal sluggers were able to score but
one run off him.
Although nine hits were made by the
vivsitors they were unable to put the
ball far out of the diamond.
The angel gunners came out strong
in the first seven innings and made
fourteen hits during that period. Car
Isle was the king Of them all when i'm
the fifth he sent the ball out on the
right field foul line and it rolled un-
der the bleachers, the runner reaching
home.
Out of four times at bat. three trials
resulted in hits for Carlisle. This was
better stick work than any member of
the San Francisco team displayed dur
ing the game, although several of them
claim 600 batting average.
Ellis Makes Good Showing
Ellis also returned to his position in
center, relieving Bernard, who is the
only one of the team on the sick list.
Ellis was the first man to score and
before the contest was over he again
came home with run.
Ellis has never been considered
more than a "bush Lacquer" at his
oct h,,f H. I, n
of his kind they would not have been
so near the bottom of the standing of
the clubs as they have been during the
summer months. His fielding average
for the last week was 1000 and from
twelve times at bat made one run and
five base hits His batting average
was surpassed by only one man on the
team, Randolph who was at bat seven
times and made three base hits
Ellis was unable to play in the three
last games with Portland because of
an injured finger sustained while
reaching for one of Sweeney's long
flies. 1t happened to be the first ball
that was hit in the game and it start
ed right for center, where Ellis at
tempted to capture it. Just as he saw
that the ball was about to pass over
him he jumped in the air and reached
his right hand for it and succeeded in
stopping the ball. but Sweeney got to
second.
Ellis was in the game at all times
yesterday and made two of the runs
that were scored against San Fran
cisco. Each time he hit safely and
aided by the strong batting of the
team managed to cross the rubber.
- Score In First
The Angels opened in the first in
ming with will and five hits were
made and three runs scored before the
side was retired Cravath, Brashear
and Ellis went around the line of sacks
in the initial inning and in the next
Randolph, the first man up, walked,
Ellis bunted safely and Randolph went
to second
Moore bunted in front of Welch and
beat it down to first, filling the bases.
Cravath flew to Spencer in center
and Randolph scored on the throw to
home. Brashear came up and singled
to left, while Ellis brought in another
run by making great slide for the
plate, just managing to beat the ball.
This made the score to and it be-
gan to look like shutout game for
San Francisco. Not until the seventh
did they succeed in getting a man
home.
In the fifth Carlisle made his homer
which added one more to the Los An
geles list with nothing for the Seals.

team from shut out. AS will be re-
membered Mac used to hold down, third
for Los Angeles and it has not been so
very long since he was released by the
Los Angeles directors
To have him come back with an
other team and save them from
shutout at the hands of his old team
mates made the locals feel queer.
Make Solitary Run
Mac was the first man up and singled
to right center and advanced to second
on Wilson's hit infieId. He went toi
third on Wechs out with Spencer on
first, who had been hit by a pitched
ball, and when Wheeler hit to Adams,
forcing Spencer, came home on the
play.
This was the only9run that the Seals
made, but they came very near getting
in one more / nthe ninth.
Los Angeles also scored run IN this
inning, which was brought in by
Adams. who had singled to left and
crossed the rubber when Carlisle
swatted the ball far out against CEN
ter field fence, making three bases be-
fore the sphere could be brought into
the infield.
In the eighth Eager made a sensa-
tonal catch of McClellan's foul by
running back against the bleachers
and picking the ball out of the air,
and made the second out when the
prospects for San Francisco making
another run looked excellent. With
two outs and two strikes on the man
at the bat Randolph settled down to
work and Umpire Derrick called out
the man at the bat, retiring the side.
In the last period the seals again
advanced a man around the diamond
and came near making the run that
the team was striving so hard to get.
Welch came first and singled to
right, went to second on Spencer's in
field single and made third on Wheel
er's out. Young Kid Mohler came next
and flew far out in center to Ellis, who
caught the ball and had it started for
the plate before Welch had gotten his
lead off third
Bobby Eager caught the ball and
tagged Welch just before the runner
t lched the plate. retiring the side.
