STANDING OF THE cLUns.
Los AnqeIes 2, Oakland 6

Four pitchers, twenty-one hits recorded,
and anybody's game until the ninth in
ming was finished was the record of yes
terday's game, which the Angels copped
right at the windup. 1t was one of the
fanciest contests of the season, the teams
zig-zaggirs back and forth with the lead
until ehe locals finally nailed the one
run needed.
Franzel Hosp was given a chance to re-
trieve himself after the frosty way in
which he handled the leather Friday, but
the best the busher got was trimming.
In the third round Dillon thought he had
better win the game, so he sent Hosp
to the shade of the awning and substi-
tuted Red Randolph.
But Pop Van Haltren was no better
off than Dillon. He led off with Carnes,
but the ex-Angel had fit of nervous
ness when he faced his old team mates,
and Van transferred him to the waiting
list, giving Bunny Goodwin a chance to
bend them over
And then the battle proceeded. First
the Angels would be point or two in the
lead, only to give way to the AthenfaRs.
Along toward the seventh round the
teams were each five points to the fat
when Bliss chased one over the left
field fence for fancy homer. The ball
hit the top of the paling, and instead Of
bouncing back inside the lot kept on its
way to the seal pond in the Chutes.
When their turn came the Angels sent
a man clear around the pillows and
sevened things up. and in the final haif
of the ninth the bunch got together and
with two men down scored the run that
broke up the game.
Oakland was the first to break, and
scored one run in the opening spasm.
The Angels were not far behind them
and when their turn came they chased
over a pair of tallies. Then the visit
ors came right back and tailed a brace
for themselves, Los Angeles following
suit with an equal number. Another pair
for the Oaks followed in the third. and
the Angels made it all even in the fourth.
In the sixth Bliss came to life with his
homer and the following round saw the
teams on even footing again. Then came
the windup in the ninth, and the fourth
game of the series was chalked up for
Berry's hired hands.
Smith Draws Pass
With Hosp on the slab Smith opered
up the first round by drawing a pass.
Van Haltren singled to right, and when
the ball was fielded to third to get Smith,
Van tried to cop second. He was nailed
off the keystone pillow, but Smith was
safe at third Hetmuiler's bunt was
good enough to score him from there,
and Heine was caught trying to purlon
the second station.
Bernard started the stick work for the
Angels with single to center, and Car
