LOSE CONTEST
TRUCK" EAGAN MAKES SEN
SATI0NAL PLAY
Los Angeles Team Is Defeated In the
Fifth Game Out of a Series Of
Six--Fresno Has
Walkover

"Trucl Horse" Egan made the sem
sational play of the game yesterday
afternoon at Chutes park. where the
Fresno Raisin Pickers won from Meads
Angels in a walkover by the score Of
eight to two.
With the game tie In the sixth, the
big Fresno shortstop came to the front
with q play that brought him into the
lime light. After having made first
base on fielder's choice. he advanced
to second on McLaughlin's sacrifice and
made third on Delmas' single.
With two men out and sure thing
at the bat, "Truck" knew that he was
still far from the home plate unless he
did something. With two strikes and
one ball called on Dashwood and the
pitcher swinging for the delivery of
the next ball, Egan shot down toward
home before Bergman could realize
what was happening, slid for the plate
and crossed in front of the ball and
was called safe by Umpire Perrine.
Mique Fishers team began well,
made two runs in the second inning
when Mclaughlin and Delmas scored
on Cartwright's single to left. Los
Angeles tailed one run in the fourth
and tied the score in the fifth.

the visitors continued to score through
out the contest and two runs were
made in the ninth.

and walked to second when Casey re-
ceived four balls and scored on Eagan's
single to center.

on McLaughlin's single and was scored
by Delmas, who singled to center.

left the score eight to two.
Capt. Dillon was not back in the
game, but is improving rapidly and
will go north with the team and pos
sibly will take up his old position at
first while, in the north.
Dillon yesterday occupied a seat in
the grand stand but did not go down
to the bench nor make his appearance
on the field. His place at first was
taken yesterday by Whaling, who
played a fine game and also batted
well.
Bergeman pitched for Los Angeles
and allowed ten hits. while wolters,
who did the twirling for the visitors,
was touched for eight safe hits. Man
ager Fisher of Fresno changed his bat
ting order and let heavy hitting VOL
ters come second on the list
Only in the fifth inning did the tide
look as If might turn. After that in
ming, however, the contest was Fres-
nos and at no time did it look like
the Angels would tie the score.
The attendance was larger yesterday
than any other day in the week and the
hopes OF Manager Gil Mead rose very
high when he arrived at the park ant
saw the crowd that was gathering t
witness the contest.
Only one more game will be played
here between the Angels and Fresno
which will end the series of six games
The week has been very disastrous fol
Los Angeles, who has won but one OF
the games out of six.
Burns will be on the firing line in
today's game and will be opposed by
Fitzgerald.
On Monday Mead's aggregation OF
Angels will go north to play series
of six games with the San Francisco
Seals at Idora park, while Fresno will
stay in Los Angeles and play with
Seattle The first game will begin
Tuesday.
