Les Angeles 5, Oakland Ill Innings
The Angels copied game or the wing
yesterday after the Commuters apparently
had it slowed away in the locker, ard
they were helped along the winning by
Robert Lee Eager and Cap Dillon. assist
cd in one instance by Silver Tip Derrick.
Pop made his temperance in front of the
Chutes grand stand as co-arbiter with Mr..
Kelley, and the double umpire system
worked well. At least, it was better than
either one Of the indicator handlers could
have done alone.
The fancy part of the show was the way
in which the locals managed to score
their tallies after two were in the ash can.
In every one Of the three rounds In which
they did any bell ringing Berry's men
were shooting at what looked like for
lorn hope; but in every instance they
managed to find Gates boat and chase
men over the platter
Eager was the bright and shining light
of the performance, as his clout In the
eighth spasm was the goods that pro-
duced tie score for the Angels. After
that Frank Dillon went out after them In
the eleventh round and his bingle to right
field sent Bernard home with the one
tally needed to chase Oakland to the
bench.
It was a very busy game all the way
through, although the Angels and Bobby
Burns were easy marks for the first six
innings Oakland had the bulge on them
by four TALES up to the seventh round,
and then the locals managed to break in
with something that relieved the monoto-
ny Of the long line of goose eggs. Still
the Oaks appeared to be winners under
wraps, and the next spasm opened with
out any alarm on their part
The eighth was a real bad period for
one Eli Gates. Hap Hogan began to kid
him, and the Oakland twirler fell for the
rough stuff for further orders. Dillon few
to cepter, but Eli allowed both Cravath
and Brashear to single to left 1t looked
like curtains when Ellis flew to Heitmul-
ler but Delmas revived the dropping spir-
it's by lining out a neat double over third,
scoring Cravvie and allowing .Brashear to
reach third. The decision in the latter in
stance was all to the sand paper, but 1t
went, and Eager was called on to do his
best.
Bobbie a Pinch Hitter
Bobbie is the original pinch hitting kid,
and he walloped the leather into left field,
scoring Brashear and Delmas. The lat
ter might have been nailed at the platter
had not Bhss dropped Smiths throw in,
but the way things came out gave the
Angels an even break on the score board,
After Burns had singled and sent Eager
to third, Bernard ended the run getting
by going out from Haley to Bigbie.
Oakland was easy in the first part Of
the ninth and was retired in one-two-
three order but in their part of the period
the Angels doomed up dangerously. Car
isle famed and Dillon flew to center, but
Cravath was there with a two-sacker to
the right field fence. Brashear had a
chance to end the agony, but the best he
could do was to be nailed at .irst when
Haley fielded his grounder.
Heitmuller opened up the tenth with a
single to left, and he was sent on peg
when Eagan sacrificed. Bliss followed
suit and sent Heine on to the corner pill
low, and when Haley hit to Brashear the
latter threw to the plate to head off the
Dutchman, who was run down before he
could return to third.
The Angels went out in short order in
their half of the round, and they were
followed by Oakland. who performed in
the same manner during the first part of
the eleventh
Then came the big show Burns was
the first man up, and he was made the
victim of three good ones. Bernard sin
gled TO right, and when Heitmuller let the
ball go through his legs Bernie kept on to
the third cushion. Carlisle was called on
for the needed bingle, but the best he
could do was to beat grounder dowr to
Haley. which was shot over to first to re-
tire him. Dillon was there with his old
pinch hitting habits, and he broke up the
show with a bingle that Travelled past
second like a shot.
Burns Sloppy Support
The Commuters had Burns on the peg
for four innings, and sloppy ball on the
part of the big fellows support helped
garner the quartet of tallies annexed by
the visitors In the second spasm Bliss
started out with a single, and both he and
Haley were safe when Burns Juggled the
latter's bunt in front of the plate. Bigbie
and Devereaux were both out, Bliss scor-
ing when the Red Dog was nailed at first
In the third Jim SIN itnahd Van Haltrer

when the pillows were all occupied was
responsible for another run. Haley sin

dropped a fly ball. Dev's bunt flied the
bags, but Gates struck out and Haley was
forced at the plate on Smiths grounder
