Frantz Hosp hung on well for eleven
innings yesterday and helped out Won
derfully by his team mates kept the
Rosies from doing much more than keep
ing things on tie basis. But the fol-
lowing round saw the Angels hnlsn ana
4 couple Of Texas leaguers, assisted by
the gathering darkness, came along ana
gave Portland the game.
1t was certainly fine young battle up
10 the time Portland ambled so far III
front that there was no heading the
visitors Off The runs zigzagged between
innings. with Los Angeles usually one
or two in the rear, but in the sixth they
evened things up and for the next nVe
innings 1t was three up on both sides.
Then the twelfth round broke and the
visitors corraled all the runs they needed.
Those Texas leaguers and bad throw
by Easterly, together with two bases on
balls by Hosp, contributed to the doings,
and the locals had no chance to pick
up again.
The Angel team was rather shaken up.
for with Cravath and Dillon out OF the
game things went awry at the start
A busher from Iowa or some other mid
die west state tried his luck at first,
but the crowd didn't take to the new
conner and hooted him into several mis-
plays. Finally Dillon took him out and
went back to do things himself, steady
ing the Angels with his presence.
Hartman Starts Game
Portland started out with Hartman on
the mound, but the bush went wild IN
the opening round and walked three
Angels in a row. AS soon as the act
was over he was given a berth on the
bench and Groom went in and finished
the game, pitching swell ball.
The Angels went right out In lront
in the opening spasm, but in the tnlro
the visitors picked them up and then
went ahead with another tally in the
fourth and still another in the following
inning. The Angels broke in with one
in the fourth and one in the sixth, but
after that both teams were blanked until
the twelfth, when Portland won.
Angel scores were made like this: In
the first round, with Bernard and Hart
man in the tower, Nagle, Brashear and
Delmas all drew passes, filing the un-
occupied space. Ellis was there with
the club and slapped out single to LETT
scoring Nagle, but Hackbarth, the new
man, was not handy with the willow on
his first trip to the plate and retired the
side on an out via Hartman and Kennedy
Things went along all right until the
fourth when DelmaS was passed to first
and reached second on pretty sacrifice
by Ellis. Hackbarth was out on throw
to first, but Del reached third on the
ply, scoring when Johnson juggled Eas-
terlyS grounder.
Two hits in the sixth netted the Angels
third run. Brasnear started something
with a double to the fence in left Held
and went on a base while Delmas ground
ed to Kennedy. Ellis struck out. Cap
Dillon, seeing how things were going,
took Hackbarths place with the stick
and drew four wide ones. EaSterly s
single gave Brash plenty of time to get
home from third, where he had ambled,
and Hosp struck out to end the period.
Portland's busy time started in the
third round, when two hits sent one man
home. Byrnes shot out a single which
did him no good for he was forced at
second when Groom hit to Hosp. Casey
walked and Donohue followed with a
pop to Bernard. Raftery scored Groom
with a double to center, which Ellis made
a neat attempt to nail; Casey tried hard
to tally, but the relay from Ellis to
Delmas to Easterly nailed him away from
the final station.
Bassey Scores johnson
johnson walked at the opening of the
fourth and was sent to second on Ken
nedy's hit to left, scoring on Bassey' s
soak to right. The next three up were
easy outs and Portland failed to register
again during the act.
The fifth netted the visitors another
tally. Casey and Donohue were retired
before Raftery was hit by pitched ball
and stole second. Johnson was given a
free ticket on bad ones and when Hack
barth dropped Delmas' assist of Ken
nedy's grounder Raftery scooted across
the pay line.
From then on sensational fielding on
both sides marked the play, neither side
being able to do business with the scorer.
The eleventh was a busy period, but
real work was tabooed until the twelfth,
when Portland opened up and copped the
contest.
Casey opened the round by getting to
first on four balls and stole second just
before Donohue flew to Carlisle. Raftery
walked and Johnson was out on a liner
to Brashear. Kennedy lifted one over
the infield and scored Casey putting
Raftery on third. Bassey repeated the
trick with one over second and Raftery
romped in, Kennedy taking his place on
third. Easterly made bum shot to
Brashear to nail Kennedy, after feinting
to catch Bassey at second, and the Port
land first baseman came home with the
