ANGELS ALL BUT TIE SCORE
IN EIGHTH
Seals Win One of the Most Sensational
Games Ever Played at Chutes
Park-Ashey Flooded
with Base Hits
STANDING OF THE CLUBS
Seals q, Angels 8


Henley saved the day-for San Fran
cisco. Mid a terrific din of excitement
young twirler Ashley of the Seals wa
driven from the box by the Seraph slug
gers yesterday afternoon. AS Ashley
balloon settled near the Seal bench
tall young man, with determinatio
written on his face, stalked bravely t.
the firing line.
His name was Henley and he ha'
been sent out for a trying ordeal. H
acquitted himself most admirably, an
with three men on bases, one out ant
one run needed to tie the score, retired
the fast coming Angels who ha'
slaughtered Ashley for no fewer thai
six hits.
1t has been long since such excite
ment as marked yesterdays eighth inn
ing wrought Chutes park fans to per
feet frenzy. Eight men faced the Sal
Francisco twirlers and of these six hi
safely. Five bingles, two of then
double-sackers, were scored in rapit
succession.
Cravath was the first man who die
not connect for a sure one. Delma'
came next, however, and continued thu
good work. At this juncture the hurry
call for the injured occurred.
Even though victory did not perez
on Angel banners, the lig crowd was
given more than a run for admission
price, To the eighth Pitcher Ashley
simply owned the diamond. He had al.
lowed but three hits, and 1t an Ange
came within hailing distance of the
plate. What then occurred to Ashley
will probably never be forgotten BY
that youngster.
With four Seal scores planted against
hn l.
mistic were not hoping for much wher
Carlisle came to bat at the beginning of
the eighth inning.
Ashley appeared confident and sent
over nice straight one. Bleachers and
grand stand gave forth vel, as Hide
brand and Spencer were seen footing it
for the left-center field fence. Before
the leather had been gathered in Car
Isle was resting on second. with Happy
Hogan tearing wildly up and down the
coaching line back of third base.
Scarcely had the Angel left fielder
reached second when a second roar
went forth Young Ellis had connected
and once more the ball scared toward
center field. Carlisle made tracks for
home and Ellis reached second.
Ashley Calls for Help
Curtis Bernard ran up to get in the
fray. Curt sent a slow bounder t.
Mohler at second which took a higher
flip as the little German dashed to mai
it. BY this time the fleet Seraph out
fielder had passed first with deafening
roars acclaiming him.
,Jud Smith, who but a few minutes
previous had made one of the dumbest
plays ever witnessed when he touched
third for force with but two men on
bases, partly atoned by slamming a
pretty one to center which brought Ellis
over the plate.
About this time Lshley gazed anx-
iously toward the Seal bench. Henley
hurriedly Goffed his coat and rushed be-
hind the bleachers, while the Seals
gained time on the field by holding
confab with Ashley.
Dillon dropped a slow one in front of
the plate which was good for a single,
filing the bases. Pandemonium reigned.
Happy Hogan developed into a wild
man and tore things to pieces in gen.
eral. Cravath came up and was hailed
as a hero. Gravy missed his chance,
however by flying to Mohler.
Delmas hooked onto one which went
for a Texas Lacquer over first. AT this
juncture Henley came out on the run
and Ashley made tracks for the bench.

all present to win his own game, flew
to left and also lost a chance to be
hero.
San Francisco retired rapidly in the
ninth and the Angels returned for their
final effort. Carlisle, who had started
the previous fireworks. swung nightly,
but Henley was throwing life preserv-
ers over the Ashley wreck and Carlisle
struck out.
Ralph Nagle twisted a nice game for
the Angels, but the bingles secured off
his delivery came at opporture times
and were coupled with Seraph errors.
Jud Smith was bad at third yester-
day and was responsible for the loss of
the game. In the fourth Moriarty sin
gled infield. Delmas fumbled the ball,
though the Seal shortstop would un-
doubtedly have reached first base in
safety.
Hildebrand singled to left and Irwin
beat out a bunt toward Smith. Will
liams bounced one to Smith and the
latter threw wild to first Moriarty and
Hildebrand coming home, Williams
reaching second. Nagle stopped Muir
phys hot one and nailed Irwin off
third. Williams was out stealing third
and Street retired, DelrnaS to Dillon.
Two more were tailed by San Fran
cisco in the eighth, and again Smith
was partly responsible. Mohler had
gone out, Smith to Dillon, when Mori-
arty singled to left.
With Hildebrand at the bat, Mori-
arty stole second and endeavored to
gain a lead toward third.
Nagle turned and shot the ball to
Bernard Moriarty Ahot back in time,
but injured his left wrist and was
forced to retire, Wheeler taking his
place. Hildebrand walked. Irwin went
out, Smith to Dillon.
Then came Jud Smiths bush league
performance. Williams drove a bound

base, under an impression that he vas

williams reached first. Eager threw
Wild to second and Hildebrand scored.
Murphy flew to Carlisle.
Center Fielder Spencer of the Seals
played snappy game in center, cor
