Los Angeles q, Portland 3.
MIR. C c. CRAVATH, who will soon
MI migrate to Boston, showed flash
ILL of that form which will be ex-
pected of him in the big league next
season aud won yesterdays game with
Portland by a piece of headwork such
as only truly intellectual citizen of
the Hub could think of. True, Judge
McCredie protested the game, but Cav
vie's work was all to the high brow
just the same.
Seven full innings had gone by be-
fore Cravath had a chance to show how
much of a player Jimmy Collins ex-
changed 1000 kopecks for. The visi-
tors were two runs to the good at the
time, and the largest crowd of the sum-
mer was watching Los Angeles slowly
drift to defeat.
And then Cavvie changed the com
plexion OF things. Carlisle, the first
man up in the eighth inning, flew to
left field. Dillon was out, his pop to
Fay being we'll taken care of, and then
Cravath was given a pass. Brashear
raped the ball on the nose and Ii
bounced back off the score board, the
plump one gathering unto himself the
second pillow, while Cravath roasted
on third.
A nice long single would have done
n lot Of damage right them, so Cap
Dillon called on Rube Ellis to come to
the front. The busher was affection
ately greeted by the throng, and all
eyes were turned his way
Suddenly, like an elephant on the
waTpath, Cravath charged down the
line and scored. He was followed by
cloud of dust. out of which the form of
Brashear developed, and run number
two was charged UP to the Angels
credit
Then came the roar 1t seems that
Crayath, in a cheerful mood, either took
the bail away from Mott at third base
and gave it a playful toss over to the
bleachers or else kicked it on it's way
While the Portlander was taking his
time about recovering the sphere Cra-
vath and Brashear tore in to the plate
and were declared safe by the ump.
Mccredie Enters Protest
OF course McCredie Immediately pro-
tested the game, and for a long time II
looked as though the show would bust
up right them and there. Kelley in
doing the right thing, could do nothing.
as he did not see the by-play executed
by Cravath and consequently was
forced to call the men safe at the plate.

around the umpire. and McCredie be-
came so excited that he knocked the
indicator out of Kelley's hand With
the exception of their leader the entire
visiting aggregation was for quitting
on the spot, but McCredie finally got
them together and continued playing.
But when hostilitieS were resumed
interest in the game had slackened
materially. and the northern brigade
allowed the one run needed by the
Angels to be garnered in the ninth in
ming. With two out Gray walloped a
nice two-sacker past the center fielder,
and when Bernard popped a high one
out to Fay, which was dropped. Dolly
scored. At that the umpire's decision
at the plate was questioned, for Gray
bumped the ball out of Donahue's hand
on the way past
Before the eighth inning hippodrome
a nice busy game was witnessed by
about 5000 roaring fans. Gray and
Groom had on their fighting faces, and
the ball dished UP was something nice
to behold
Portland broke with a rush and got
away to a flying start right in the
opening round. Casey, the first man on
the batting list lined a hot one right
at Gray and was safe at first. Bur-
dette thought it better to get busy be-
fore Dolly had been warmed up, so he
called for two bags just inside the left
field foul line. Bassey plucked off
bender and drove out long fly to Cra-
vath. Casey starting when the ball was
caught and beating it home with ease.
Nagle broke into the applause get
ters' list when he made a neat stop of
Donahue's bounder and a still neater
throw to Dillon. Atherton drew four
wide ones, and McCredie was just try
ang to locate something when Burdette
was caught trying to pinch third and
retired the side.
Angels Tie Score
In the fourth the Angels tied the
score. Carlisle was lucky on an inf1eld
single and Dillon advanced him to third
with a single to right. Cravath did
the customary and few to Burdette,
who caught the ball just as his foot
slipped. The fielder rolled over and
over. still holding on to the pill, but
before he could recover and throw home
Carlisle had scored and Dillon was
roosting on the keystone station. Bra
shear fouled out back of third and
Nagle ended the period on an out from
short to first.
Burdette led off the eighth inning for
Portland and lined out nice single to
center. Bernard did little fancy Jug
Cling in retrieving the sphere, and Bur-
dette kept right on to second. Bra
shear was guilty of misplay when he
tried to handle Basseys hit, and the
runner was safe. Cap. Dillon added to
the excitement by missing Donahue's
bunt, and Burdette chased home with
out being moIested. Atherton left his
shady spot near the bench long enough
to fly out to Carlisle and Mercedes
hit TO Nagle, which the Judge stopped
in clever style, filled the bags.
Fay's best effort was in the nature of

over to first before the little short stop
had reached there. but Bassey scored
while the play was being made. Mott
popped to Dillon and retired the side.
And that was about all, for the three
ring circus occupied the spectators for
the rest of the day. AS told in figures
