Cast your optics on the score, gentle
standing. Ask yourself if it is not as 1t
should be, and If the answer is no, then
you're a loser.
For the Angels took the first game of
the series from the San Franciscans, and
they took 1t right too. Happy Hogan
do their Important parts in bringing about
such result, but no indictments were
issued so they are still at liberty.
On top of victory for the locals the
game was one of the closest of the sea-
son, and every one of the big bunch of
fans who turned out to welcome Berry s
pets home got the worth worth OF Their Their ad5 aod
Joy, were on their mettle, and hits were
the stingtest commodity in the market.
Then the performers on both teams felt
rather kittenish. and spectacular plays
were on tap in every act.
And then there was a new umpire (?)
on hand, too. He answered either to a
whistle or the name of Hamilton, but
when called other things of a choice and
lurid description the indicator holder
failed to respond
He was called things all afternoon, too,
and the best that can be said for Mr.
Hamilton is that he will never do. While
neither f team gained anyt66ipg t6 b from the
successor, the decisions he handed out
in every department OF, the game were so
much to the rough that it's almost a
let Hamilton stick.
But the newcomers decisions had
nothing oT to te do s Wa the err result o % 9f The
Carnes had his full assortment on hand.
and he was forced to use them early and
often to stall off the Inortherners.
In the fourth inning it looked like a
balloon ascension for the young star but
he settled down and with the assistance
of his teammates retired the visitors with
out a run being recorded.
Joy was good all the way through, and
not until Happy Hogan felt. the neces-
did the Kanaka feel the hooks at all. In
the main he was steadier than Carnes
but a let up in the seventh round did the
work and scored the only two runs of the
day.
That seventh was busy session in
itself. Dillon started the inning by slap
ping out a high foul, which was pulled
down by Irwin after a noble try; Cravath
tried TO swing one just over the infield.
but Shortstop Moriarity thought he could
nail it, and instead of letting the center
the sphere drop into his hands
The leather failed to stick, and Cavve
reached the initial pillow in safety. Del
mas contributed nothing when he famed.
but Cravath managed to purloin second
during the scuffle.
Then Hogan came along. Just before
the inning opened Happy was the recipi-
ent of two iron dollars which several
Nevada" sports in the grandstand had
no use for and to earn this change Ho-
to the center field fence. Cravath romped
home an easy winner and the first run
: of the day was safely tailed.
Carnes thought another run was needed
so he picked out nice one and tried to
knock part of the center field fence over
with 1t. Spencer got in the way, but he
was not far enough back and the ball
dropped out of his hands, allowing Happy
to cross the platter.
1t looked quite sunny for San Fran
cisco in the fourth act. when Mohler
started out by drawing four wide ones.
when Carnes overthrew his assist of
Moriarity's bunt both 5000 and the bat
ter were safe on the cushions, one at
second and the other at third.
Carnes then loosened up and walked
Williams, filing the bags, and the Frisco
rooters began to get nervous with their
lungs. Shaughnessy laid one down right
in front of the platter, and Carnes took
care of It long enough to tag Hildebrand
while 900 was tearing for home. A
minute later Shaughnessv was caught
while dosing off first and the local boost
ers rested easy again.
One of the prettiest plays ever pulled
off here occurred in the first half of the
eighth. when Irwin drove a fast one out
to left field. Carlisle ran for the ball
and It appeared that he would be too
late but the little fellow scooped in the
sphere jus! before it struck. and the best
hand of the dav was forthcoming. Ir-
wins catch of Dillons foul was also a
star performance. and Delmas was light
ming fast at short, cutting off several
runs. Kitty Brashear's work at second
that came his way. The hop:
