First game--Los Angeles Q, Oakland
Second game--Los Angeles a, Oakianu
The Angels took both ends of Sundays S
double header from the Commuters In
two of the fastest, prettiest and most ex-
citing games of baseball ever seen at
Chutes park before 5000 maddened fans.
The second game was called In the
seventh inning by mutual agreement, and
1t was almost dark when the saturnalia
ended, anyway.
Cravath's wonderful batting was the
star feature of both games. He made
home run in the sixth of the first game,
scoring Nagle and Carlisle before him
self on a screamer away over the left
field fence giving the locals their hrst
look-in and saving the game.
Gravy made another homer in the
fourth inning of the second game. Out
Of six times at bat Cravath made SIN
gle. two two-baggers and two home runs,
his batting average for the day being SS5
Eight-thirty- three! Just stick that In
your hat for future reference so that you
can make comparisons when the one-day
come floating in.
And old Truck Eagan came across with
a deep-dyed revenge and made home
run. the third of the double header, for
the Oaks
Say, now what do you think of that?
Going some, hey?
Jimmy Toman held the indicator in the
place of Umpire Quigg, resigned. The
first game was called at 1880 sharp and
81 In
of perfect bliss, the sky being flawless,
tho day ideal and the fans worked up
continuously into spasmodic insanity by
a series of hair-raising climaxes

and all were safe.
Smith went to second on helder S
choice, scoring on Heitmullers nit TO

Driven to desperation by the Oaks four
clean scores and their own sloppy line
of five goose eggs in a row, the Angels
threw a bushel of redhot chill pepper
into the sixth inning, making seven fine
hits and netting five straight runs.
1t was at this stage of the game that
Cravath mauled the groggy sphere for a

twenty feet clear, scoring Nagle and
Carlisle before himself Maybe the stand
and bleachers didn't tear the air for five
minutesl
