Header
Los Angeles 4, Pickwicks 8
Los Angeles 5, PickWlcks z

Old Jake Beckley, the grandest base-
ball player of them all, stepped into the
breach and not only showed the KIDS
of Happy Hogans bunch and the In
fants of LIE Brandt's gang how to really
play the game but also won the hrst
contest of the double-header in the sew
enth inning at Chutes park yesterday
afternoon.
The grand old man. despite his Father
Time record, is about as spry as they
make anywhere, and the way that he
Topped off safeties from Slagle and Asher
would have made Osler grab for the
railing on the seventh wave.
McIntyres twirling was one of the
fanciest features of the day.
Los Angeles got run in the, first act,
but could not materialize three more hits
until Jake took Happy's place at the
stick in the seventh. Things had grown
pretty warm, as the Picks scored twice
in the second and once In the third, and
Beckey's work was gratefully appreci-
ated.
The First Game
In the first inning, after Bernard and
Carlisle had made easy outs, Kitty
Brashear singled prettily to left and stole

In the second the Picks made good on

on Fitzgerald's sacrifice, Mcintyre, 10
Hogan, scoring double on Henrahan's
hit to left.
In the third the Picks got their third
and last run through loose work by the
Angels. Donovan reached first on Hosp's
juggle of a grounder. Clines bounced to
Mcintyre, who threw to Hosp at second
in an effort to force Donovan, but Hosp
dropped the ball. Weed bounced to Nc
Intyre and Hosp covered third, forcing
Donovan. Campbell flew to Nagle in
right field. Clines went to third at the
catch. Eager threw bad to Bernard on
Weeds steal to second and Clines
scored.

forcing Hosp over the plate. Bernard
hit to Donovan, who threw to the plate,
forcing Beckley. Eager went to third on
the THROWN and was forced home when
Brashear got his base on balls. Maybe
the fans didn't scream at the ruthless
slaughter of the babes from San Diego
With the score tied the Angels made
the winning run in the ninth. Mcintyre
singled to left and went to third on Ber-
nard's double past third, scoring after the

In the first act Downey singled to left,
stole second and was advanced to third
by Donovans hit to center, scoring on
Clines' sacrifice.
In the second inning the Picks got their
second and last run. Fitzgerald flew to
Nagle. Henrahan got third on Brashears
rotten throw to Beckley. Asher hit to
Brashear, who again MADE a bum throw,
Hogan muffing it by no fault of his
own, Asher landing safe on first and
Henrahan scoring as a result of Kitty's
raw work. Downey flew to right and
Donovan forced Asher at second.
In the last half of the second the An
gels made their awful killing. Hogan's
crowd simply battered Asher all over the
lot and it was because this act lasted so
lorg that the game had to be called at
the end of the sixth inning on account of
darkness.
BraSh singled to right. Ellis was struck
by a pitched ball. Eager landed safe on
Weeds muff, filing pases. Asher went
wild and hit Hosp in the stomach, lay
ing the angel twirler fiat When Hosp
recovered enough to hobble to his base,
he forced Brashear across the plate.
Happy Hogan mauled out a two-bagger.
scoring Ellis and Eager. Gray hit
through first base, scoring Hosp and Ho-
gan. Bernard hit safe infed. Carlisle
famed and Beckley did likewise. Brash-
ear hit safe, but Dolly Gray took a long
chance off third and ran in SO slow that
he was thrown out easily at the plate,
ending the frightful carnival of horrors
in which the locals made five runs out
of only three hits in one inning.
That ought to be about all. Following
is the dope on yesterdays doubleheader:
