srANDING OF THE CLUBS


Mr. G. Caspar Cravath had the chance
of his life to win permanent nome right
here in Los, Angeles in the elghtn inning
of Yesterdays game-and fouled out. Jud
Smith. whose chances were bright 10
gather unto himself at least corner lot
did likewise, and the third game OF the
series belonged to Oakland.
All this happened when the Angels came
to hat in the last half of the eighth round.
The Commuters were already there with
the gleanings of various hits of Pitcher
Carnes. Haley and Devereaux being the
vicious ones, the total of runs on the score
hoard being five. The locals were three
behind them, having scored two In the
previous act.
And then Cap Dillon gave his men the
signal to get busy and do something TO
Unhappy Hogan, Hen Berry, reclining on
the bench for the first time in many days
stretched himself and wiped the bald SPOT
which is were his hair used to part. the
grand stand became undignified and made
some noise, and the bleachers let loose as
though they meant it.
This all helped some. for Bush Ellis.
brought in to save the day as far as posi-
BILE drew a pass that was every bit as
good as bingle. Bernard was fortunate
enough to follow suit, but the best Car
Isle could do was to drive out a long one
care of.
Then Kitty Brashear ambled UP and
picked out a spot near DevereauX. driving
the ball through for single, which
scored Ellis. Dillon walloped the leather
on the nose for short one, and when ne
was safe at first every cushion was occu-
pied, and with but one down.
cravath's One Chance
Here is where Cravath had the chance
of his life. With everyone in an uproar
and Hogan ready to go for the long ride,
Cavvie picked out the worst he could find
and drove UP pop foul that was nuts
for Bigbie. This ended the seance, for
Jud Smith lost heart when the noise died
away and fouled out to Hogan.
Before this chance had blosomed and
wilted the Angels scored two runs, both
of them being recorded in the seventh
inning. Dillon started with double 20
center and Cravath helped some with
single to the same place. Smiths hit 10
left sent Cap home, and Delmas sacrificed
Cravath to third and Jud to second. Smith
was Immediately caught asleep off second
and after Cravath had scored on passed
ball Eager famed.
Oakland had lots of fun with Carnes
and scored in the second, fourth and sixth
rounds. One was down in the second,
when Eastwood, taking Bliss place be-
hind the protector, was granted a pass.
Dillon took care of Bigbie's grounder all
alone, but the two singles contributed by
Haley and Devereaux were enough to put
Eastwood over the platter.
Haley and DevereauX repeated their
double single trick in the fourth, and with
two out Jim Smith hunted safely toward
first, scoring Haley and putting Brick on
third. Dew scored when Van Haltren lined
one out TO center, and Heitmuller's safe
hit brought home the bacon for Jim
Smith.
One more was added in the sixth, but
this time Haley doubled and Devereaux
did the singing stunt Hogan followed
them with fly to Bernard, and Haley
took his time about beating the throw in
home.
Freddie Bergman was sent in to finish
the game for Carnes in the ninth inning.
and from the looks of things Freddie
needs little more time in which to get
his arm in shape. While he walked one
and refused to allow a single thing that
looked like a safe hit, Bergie was GER
tainly not in his old time form, as his
short period on the slab evidenced. The
dope:
