SEATTLE WINS

7to2
Angels, 2; Seattle, 7

Since the DAYS Wneu Nidiiey NVi"'
incurred the displeasure of Los An
geles fandom, no home player received
such a Kissing and hooting as did Cap
tain Frank Dillon yesterday afternoon
at Chutes park, where the Angels lost
to Seattle by a score OF Z to after
ragged exhibition by local talent.
Although Dillon suffered more than
was coming to him through a misun-
derstanding Of the crowd. he turned a
trick early i'm the game which was
ANYTHING but captain like. Driven TO
anger by decision of Umpire Mahaf-
few I'm the third. when the latter called
Blankenship safe as Dillon endeavored
to tag him on the line, the Angel cap
tain banged the ball on the ground
while Blankenship flashed down to sec
ond.
Then came the big cat call from stand
and bleacher and all for Mr.. Dillon.
This was but a fragment to what was
coming. however. Burns, who occupied
the box for Los Angeles yesterday, was
not altogether successful and did sew
eral things that appeared foolish from
the diamond side.
Whatever criticism may be dealt Dill
lon, no one doubts his intent to win II
there is a possible chance. Often Angel
players have been the subject of scath-
ing remarks after some unfortunate
episode with Frank dealing out the
burners. Such was in order yesterday.
In the eighth inning Burns was OBJ
served to start for the bench and then
return when Nagle walked toward the
box. AS Dillon and Burns had just
concluded a word contest it was taken
for granted that Burns had been or
dered off the field and Dillon came in
for more call down.
Every appearance of Frank from that
time on meant fresh storm Of con-
demnation. When Burns came to bat
he was given q rousing cheer. The fact
of the matter was that Burns voluntari-
ly left the field and later decided to
continue.
Burns took exception to Dillons or
der when he called for Brashear to
take a ball which descended directly
over the pitchers box in the eighth.
Dillon claimed that as Burns had
fallen down on bunt in the third and
then thrown wild to third 1t was
a safer proposition for Brashear to
take the catch. Hence trouble.
Perhaps it was we'll that a little
extra excitement occurred, as the An
gels behaved very badly and helped
Seattle lengthen the run column.
''Rube" Vickers was out for Russ
Hall and proved very stingy when
singles were needed. In the early in
nings "Rube'' was told he wouldn't do.
Along toward the end they applauded
him. Thus the fickleness of baseball
Rube was very. much to the good
with men on bases, and though he al
lowed four men to walk, struck out
seven Seraphs.
To Van Buren. center fielder of the
Siwashes, must be accredited a sensa-
tional and artistic bit of work in the
second when he committed deliberate
robbery by freezing Bernard's Texan
Lacquer back of second. Ninety-nine
times out of a hundred such drive
would have fallen safe, but Van put
on an extra squirt and with final ef-
fort reached for and held the ball,
coming within an ace of falling on his
face.
Mr.. Van Buren,, as luck would have
it, came next to bat and started an
awful mess when he singled to center
Both teams made two runs in the first
Van Buren, drove safely to center and
reached second as Burns threw wild tc
catch him at first. Blankenship came
along and hit to Burns. The latter
promptly fell down and in sitting
posture threw wild to third in an ef-
fort to head off the flying Van Buren,
Blankenship in the meanwhile KEPT
on toward second, but started back as
Brashear flashed the ball to Toman
Blank lodged back and forth and wheT
finally hedged in between Dillon ano
Toman made a wild dive under the for
mer, recovering first. Dillon swung al
him with the ball, but Mahaffey sale
safe.
Frank immediately became veXed and
slammed the ball on the diamond, Blan-
kenship annexing second. Eddie House
holder and his big club put in an ap'
pearance and Nagle jumped away a:
House slammed one to short. Var
Buren scored. Householder started t
second and Blankenship was caught a
the plate by Tomans throw House
holder reaching third. Burns ther
broke all records for wild pitching anC
hit the top of the stand, Householder
coming in.
An awful miXup and series of wilt
throws resulted in the seventh, wher
four more came over for Seattle Th'
ball was tossed to every part of th'
diamond while Siwash runners leapeC
around the bases.
An immense crowd witnessed th'
game yesterday and remained to watcl
Jack O'Brien give his customary Vau
deville performance.
The score:
