Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-29

It Is always fine business for the
home team to come through with a
stirring finish in the ninth inning be-
fore a great crowd Of bowling fans.
The next best thing is for a rival
club to do all but the Garrison act.
That is what Portland did yesterday
afternoon.
If Carson, with three men on bases,
had only hit that last ball safely. II
he only had but he didn't and when
Cravath gathered 1t lovingly to his
manly bosom the big throng picked
itself up and regretfully filed away,
conscious that a corking good game
had been played in only too speedy
q fashion.
Real baseball is all that can be said
of the doings out Chutes park way
nowadays Hen Berry and Cap Dillon
have certainly infused new life into
those Angel "childs" and the boys are
without doubt putting In their best
licks for the management. There
doesn't appear to be semblance of
internal trouble and team work above
all things has been in order.
But back to yesterdays affair. AS
a matter of course the Mud Hens
must needs take another beating, all
though there was a ed hot argument
to be offered before Nagle could finally
tuck them away.
Right here it might be said that
little Schimpff, who twirled for Nc
Creedie yesterday, looms up as one Of
the best slab artists to visit the Angel
camp. Nag1e had little If anything
on Schimpff, though it was due to
hitting in the first inning which lost
Portland the game.
Delmas was shining again ~ short,
but sent local hearts humping with
the ninth inning error, which is be-
ginning to be chronic. Apparently if
Delmas once gets his fingers on the
sphere firmly there is small chance
for a runner, however close he may
get to the first bag, so whip-like is
the Delmas wing.
kitty" Brashear delighted the Sun
day crowd by lacing a pretty double
to left in the first inning after Ber-
nard and Carlisle had gone out Jud
Smith singled to left and kitty
scored. Dillon saw fit to send a safe
one to Lovett's territory while Smith
reached third. It appeared that Dillon
purposely allowed himself to be
caught on the line. AS he played back
and forth Smith tailed
McCreedIe Scores
McClelland was in hard luck yester-
day, not only making two errors, but
failing at the bat. In the second Nc
Creedie singled to right. Dunleavy
fouled to Hogan. McCreedie went to
third on Donahue's single to left. The
Portland captain scored on Carson's
sacrifice. McClelland struck out.
Fast work prevented Los Angeles
from tallying in the second. Cravath,
who appears to be regaining his bat
ting eye, came along and planted a
healthy two-bagger in center field. Dill
lon made poor attempt at sacrificing
and Cravath would have been out at
third on 3chimpffs assist had McCle-
land held the hall.
Hogan drove a hot one that McClel-
land pulled down. Dillon stole second
Nagle tried to sacrifice, but popped one
TO Schimpff, who easily doubled Cravath
Off third
Schimpff's fielding of his position
was bright feature of the game and
the manner in which he handled bunts
dropped in front Of the plate showed
him a cool headed slabman. In the
third he accepted a difficult slow one
from Brashear's bat and threw "Kittyp
out at first.
Bert Delmas came through with a
pretty double play in the fourth when
he nabbed Dunleavy's bounder, stepped
on second, forcing McCreedie, before
doubling Dunleavy at first.
Along with his il and two hits
Brashear was stealing bases. After
walking in the sixth, Kitty stole
second and third Cravath with a bit
of fast sprinting prevented Carson from
stretching a long hit to right into a
double, in the eighth inning.
McCreedie made his third hit of the
day in the ninth inning, after two outs
had been registered. Dunleavy hit
toward Breashear and the ball taking a
bad bound went on to center. Donahue
was safe on )emas' error and things
began to look interesting. Carson
ended it by flying to Crava.th.
The Oakland team will open at
Chutes for another series Tuesday.
Following the Oaks will Come San
Francisco, after which the Angels will
travel north.
