Shift In the Angel
Lineup

The Angels retrieved their defeats at
the hands of Oakland Saturday ana
Sunday by rolling up a score TO the
Commuters' little measly two yester-
day. II 1t hadn't been for the fact
that Dolly Gray was feeling so good
over the three runs scored by the An
gels I'm the fifth inning that he didn't
care much what he did in the sixth,
Oakland would have finished the game
with nothing but large circles on the
score board. AS 1t was Dolly opened
the sixth inning by walking two men,
and with two men on bases and put
one out It was the simplest thing In
the world for Oakland to put the base
runners across the home plate.
IT was a nice. easy, ladylike game.
No brutal slugging Of an inoffensive
little ball, nothing much for the out
delders to do but stand around and
look picturesque. The stick work on
neither side was particularly spectacu-
lar, although three hits by the Angels
in the fifth, which scored three runs,
put little ginger into the game. All
told the Angels scored seven hits and
Oakland seven. oakland s errors ad-
ded nothing to the cause of the Com
muters. There were two of them ana
both were serious ffom base run
ming standpoint.
Dies on Third
Oakland did nothing at the bat In
the first inning. Carlisle for Los An
geles singled to left and stole second,
and was advanced on Brashear's sac
rifice. 1t looked like a run, but
Smiths foul was caught and CraVath
famed.
In the second inning a bad throw by
Smith to Cravath let Egan of oakland
to first but that was as far as ne got
and he was the only one except Bigbee
who got a base during the inning.
Rigbee was run down between second
and third. From then until the fifth
inning, when the Angels went to the
hat. there was but little doing.
In the fifth inning Eager started
things by getting in the way of
pitched ball. A tumble by Hogan,
Oakland's pitcher, let Hogan, catcher
for the Angels, to the initial sack.
Gray bunted and the mountainous
backstop of the Commuters lost his
head and threw the ball somewhere
over in left field, allowing Eager and
Hogan to trot across the plate. Car
Isle picked up the bat and immedi-
ately doubled to center, scoring Gray.
That ended the runs in the fifth.
Gray was so puffed UP by his run in
the fifth that when he entered the box
for the sixth he didn't care whether
aged to hold down his enthusiasm un-
til he had famed Van Haltren, who
is no marvel with the stick anyhow,
and then let Heitmuller, and after him
Egan, walk to the base. Gray did the
same thing four times during the
game, while Hogan allowed only three
bases on balls, but Dolly squared him
self somewhat by striking out eight
men, while Hogan had only three to
his credit.
With the two men on bases in the
sixth Bigbee doubled to left, scoring
Heitmuller. Haley, with long one to
right, scored Egan. Oakland stopped
running Immediately afterward.
Van Ha1tren's muff of Ellis fly in
the last of the sixth let Ellis to sec
ond, and Cravath's sacrifice brought
him around to third. He scored on a
single by Eager.
Although the Angels won the game
by a comfortable margin yesterday,
they probably would not have stopped
running at all If they had been in reg
ular form. AS it was Dillon and Ber-
nard were completely out of the game
Dillon limped along the base lines
coaching his men, stopping every now
and then to nurse his bad knee. Ber-
nard has blood poisoning and there is
no telling when he can get back into
the game.
Bobby Eager is crippled and really
had no business in the game yester-
day. AS it was he held down center
field in good shape. and Ellis was
moved over to right field. Cravath
played first base.
The score:
