Hartman in Hard Luck

AT that Hartman was up against it,
for in addition to having their batting
clothes on the Angels got together be-
hind Burns, and aside from the open
ing inning played the SWEETEST kind of
ball. Burns kept the bingles scattered
around over five innings, and worked
himself out of several deep holes at
threatening times.
While he didn't have much to do
with the final score, Bool Perrines
work in the fifth and sixth rounds was
all to the sand paper and it so happened
that the poor Mudders suffered thereby
In the fifth spasm, with one Portlander
on the pillows, Mott attempted a sacri-
flee, and the way the play went beat
the ball to first a mile. Bool would not
have it so, and one more chance for
the northernerS to score went by the
boards.
Bool's other faux pas occurred in the
sixth round and was of a little more
help to the locals. Cravath reached
first on a good single and Jud Smith
was late in reaching first, but the third
baseman was declared safe. He was
behind the ball almost a second, but
Bool had that failing known as droop-
ing of the eyelids about the time the
play was pulled off and couldn't see 1t
that way.
Portland's two little runs were scored
in the opening stanza. Bassey was to
the good on his hit to left, and when
Jud Smith juggled Motifs bunt both
batter and runner were safe. Bassey
made a bluff at purloining third, and
Dillons throw to Smith went to the
bleachers, giving the Portlander a
chance to go home. Mott was sent to
third on Casey's sacrifice and he went
across the rubber for the second run
on Atherton's grounder to Brashear,
which was juggled. b
For two innings the Mudders held
the lead and then Los Angeles came
along and evened things up. With one
down Burns drew pass, and Bernard
drove out a single that helped some.
Bush Ellis came up and with the pret-
tiest kind of a wallop ripped off
enough leather for three pillows scor-
ing his two teammates. The Bush was
unable to come in himself. as there
was nothing behind him that helped
any.
Things were still all through the next
round, but in the fifth the locals came
out of it long enough to score the lead
ing tally. Two were in the tower when
Bernard ripped off a single and stole
second on the first chance and with
Ellis on the bags because of pass
the fans howled for Brashear to do
something. Kitty was there, all right,
ana WITH pretty DlISle " lelI ne
sent Bernie home without much eff
fort
Tl.s northerners' real period of agony
came in the seventh act, when two safe
hits were good for trio of tallies.
After getting in front of pitched ball
for the initial station Burns was sent
on a peg by Bernard's sacrifice. Ellis
| tried to bunt and was nailed, and Bra
shear felt that it was up to him. He
clouted the horsehide into left field for
nice single and scored Burns. Kitty
did not stop there, however, for when
Dillon's effort was juggled by Hart
man Brash kept right on to third, while
| Cap was good for frs.
Atherton came to the rescue of his
former teammates by tossing the ball
over to the bleachers in trying to
catch Brashear off third, and the base
man was able to score. Cravath's sin
! gle to right did as much for Dillon and
the second show of the week was over.
