GIANTS DEFEAT SERAPHS BY
sTO ! SCORE
Angel shortstop Gives a Remarkable
Exhibition Of What May Occur
on Dismond--eray's
Bad Work

lated score hardly indicates what SLOW
enly doings occurred at Chutes park
when the Angels lost by a score of S-1
Blame, however cannot be attached
to the nine as a whole, for two men
broke up all efforts of their team
mates. Dolly" Gray did what he
could to tally runs for McGraw by
walking five men in the first inning,
letting McGann single to center and
then taking a snooze while Bresnahan
stole as he held the ball.
If Gray was bad Mcintyre at short
was worse. Such a performance as the
burly fellow put up has never before
been witnessed in Los Angeles The
lowliest amateur would have blushed
at the bungling of Berry's new find.
Credited with but two errors in the
dope column gives Mcintyre an easy
break. Not errors. but lack of brain
stuff made his work odorous.
On five occasions some Angel in
fielder threw to second in an effort to
retire a Giant. Practically every at
tempted assist arrived at the bag in
Mcintyre, however, stood back of the
sack and refused to touch it with his
feet.
He exhibited absolute lack of class.
Some excuse might be claimed for Nc
Intyre, as it is said that he never be-
fore played shortstop, being third
baseman by trade. Mayhap the diff
ficult corner would see him shine, but
Chutes park fans are not anxious to be
shown in this particular case.
Dolly Gray may do, but it looks
doubtful and no time should be lost
in allowing him to throw away games.
Dolly was never noted for his con-
troll and although yesterday marked
his first out for some time the debut
was lamentable one.
Bowerman Arrives
Small wonder that life was taken out
of the remaining Angels by such re-
markable performances as given by
the two in question. 1t is easy to see
that double play could not be pulled
off in many a day with Mcintyre at
short. His best would be to force a
man at second and lucky at getting
away with that. Clean-cut errors are
excusable, but an evident absence of
headwork will prove the undoing of
any team in the land.
Frank Bowerman arrived from New
York yesterday, but did not don suit,
as he was tired from the long journey.
McGinnity and Dummy Taylor were
out for McGraw and had small diff

had it not been for the frisky antics of
the Dummy during his turn in the
box.
He manifested keen delight when
ever an Angel swung wild and en-
deavored to explain. with his nimble
fingers just how the sphere had been
missed.
Left Fielder Brown of the Giants
again demonstrated that he is more
hos eta 10
in which he slid under Jud Smith in
the sixth was caution. Though the
ball beat Brown to the base by fifteen
feet he made a monkey of the third
baseman by twisting under and around
while Smith wondered greatly at his
disappearance.
Cy Seymour out in center field for the
Giants made what proved to be the
most spectacular catch of the day
when he yanked Carlisle's fly off the
fence in the third inning.
The following narrowing tale is de-
scriptive of the first inning, when Nc
Graw's men secured four runs:
Shannon was given a base on balls.
Brown went out, Wheeler to Dillon.
Devlin also walked to first. Both men
advanced a base when Gray threw wild
to Clark. Gray could not refrain from
issuing another complimentary and told
Seymour that his face was good for the
base. Bresnahan also sneaked to first
as Shannon was forced in.
Captain McGann refused free trans
portation and slammed out a single to
center, Messrs. Devlin and Seymour
taking advantage Of the occasion to
come over the plate. McGann was
caught between bases and tagged out
by Dillon. A groan went up as Dolly"
let Hannifan walk. A dismal sigh arose
as Dolly" set his nightcap and
dreamed of more passes. while Roger
Bresnahan walked in from third. Cor
coran gained fame by retiring via the
Wheeler-Dillon route.
Although the Angels filled bases in
the second they refused to tally more
than one run. Wheeler for some reason
or other started in from third and then
stood still, while Bresnahan with due
apologies touched him out.
Mcintyre distinguished himself in the
second by accepting a throw from Gray
while McGinnity was ten feet from
second. That he caught the ball was
considered remarkable and wonder
found no expression when he allowed
McGinnity to reach the bag as he
clambered around trying to find the
sack This wonderful bit of play was
repeated at regular intervals through
out the game.
Cravath surprised McGinnity in the
third when he threw the "Iron Man.
out after the latter had lifted a clean
one to right field.
Bergeman replaced Gray in the fifth
and started well enough by striking out
Bresnahan. McGann hit to center and
later started toward second. A quick
throw to Mcintyre apparently had him
out, but the shortstop stood around and
allowed Dan to perch on the keystone
sack. Strang bounced one off Wheeler's
legs and McGann scored.
Clark caught fast game and should
round out well If he maintains his
present clip. George Wheeler accepted
seven assists without a skip, the ball
which Strang stung him with being a
swift one that shot over second.
The score:
