Berry's conquering heroes ended the
final series of the season with Frisco and
took both games of Sundays double-head-
er at Chutes by narrow margins from
the Bocdlers, winning the first contest
after eleven fast acts by making three
runs out of twelve hits, while Frisco
landed two runs out Of four hits. Los
Angeles won the second game, which ran
but seven innings on mutual agreement,
getting three runs out of eleven nltS,
while the Grafters got hit but couldn't
score.
1t was certainly some ball, and the first
scrap was ideal.
That boy Lolly Gray only gave Mohler's
crowd one hit during the first nine Inn
ings.
The Angels mauled Henley all over the
field In the first game, while they made
little Bright Eyes Willis look like an
amateur In the second contest.
The visitors added spectacular vim TO
the scene by appearing in red under
shirts, and L. B. e. was meat for the
overjoyed fans when he went up In the
air and lost all control of his benders

ascension was let loose behind the back

Frisco put up tough fight, and several
