ANGELS WIN IN
LOOSE CONTEST
ALL KINDS OF MISHAPS ARE
RECORDED
Teams seesaw Back and Forth, but
Locals Get Busy In Eighth
and Defeat Oakland
Bunch
Los Angeles z, Oakland 5

The second game of the series between
Oakland and the Angels was fine con-
test-if you look at 1t with shade over
your lamps. Just imagine two teams
supposed to be good ones, zig-zaggins
hack and forth because the errors were so
numerous that everybody had chance 10
score.
But the loyal fan got his money
worth, anyhow. The action was scattered
all along from the second act to the end
of the eighth. First the visitors were aces
on the score board, and then Berry's KIDS
walloped out run or two that gave them
the honor of being in front.
The busy work, first performed by oak
land, was started in the second inning,
when the Commuters scored tally prin-
cipally because of Jud Smiths tumble.
The Angels came right back In their half
of the same round ana broke into the lead
with two figures on the dope sheet
They were all tie in the beginning of
the fourth, for the visitors made the best
of their chance in the third, and came
through with the one necessary to put
them on an equal footing.
But the fourth was Oakland's happy
time, and the three tallies scored looked
like the candy despite the Angels effort
when their turn with the willow came
When things became real quiet at the
opening of the fifth and continued that
way until the last of the eighth it looked
as though the locals were in for another
beating, and the fans began to wonder
when Berry was coming home.
Angels Busy Season
The last Of the eighth was enough. The
score was to 4 when Dillon, the first
man UP, flew to Jim Smith Cravath
singled and Jud Smith, who had been kid
ding DevereauX about sending one through
him. hit to the rope peddler and was safe.
Delmas walloped one through Gates, and
Eagan, who was behind the twirler,
juggled the leather long enough to make
everybody safe, incidentally filing the
bags. Bobby Eager, who had his batting
eye right with him. hinged the ball over
Gates scalp, scoring Cravath and Smith
and putting the locals in the lead.
But they weren't content to stop there,
and for while it looked as though there
would be no ending. Dolly Gray was safe
on hit past Eagan, but no one crossed
the rubber, and Bernard attempted sac
rifice. The leather was fielded by Gates
but Bliss was not there in good form and
Delmas rolled home under his feet. Car
Isle flew to Heitmuller, and the big show
ended when Brashear was out via Deve-
reaux and Bigbee.
Before that eighth round many things
transpired to make the stand and bleach
ers sit up and notice. In the second
Bobby Eager lined out pretty double to
right, but when the Oaklanders began to
throw the sphere all over the lot he kept
on about his business and completed the
circuit Delmas going home ahead of him.
Del himself was allowed a place on the
bags because Bliss muffed his third strike
and gave the fleet short stop plenty of
time in which to nail the initial sack.
Bobby Burns started out to twirl for
the locals, but Dillon was afraid he would
not do, and in the fourth inning Gray
took his place. The dope sheet reads as
follows:
