the Angels played without making an
error, and Portland had its usual school
: boy inning, and that's the story of yes
terday'S game, which went TO the locals
by q shutout score.
And the game was a good one, too.
Hap Hogan started something when he
began to kid Califf in the third inning,
and for a few minutes 1t looked as
though Mercedes crack twirler was
due for balloon ascension. But the
fireworks refused to go off because of
Hogan, and the Mudders' period of bush
league ball did not happen until later.
There was plenty doing to hold the
big bunch of fans who passed the turn
stiles and watched the Angels even up
on the series and make it three apiece
with the northerners. In the sixth in
ming Bert Delmas came through with
one-handed catch that was about the
prettiest thing ever seen on the local
diamond, and all along Bobbie Eager's
little stunts while at the bat and on the
coaching line were very much to the
good.
1t took Portland five full innings to
blow up, and before the period in which
the Angels became the strenuous kids
Califf was holding them down to almost
nothing. Burns singled in the third,
and in the following spasm Dillon wal
loped one that called for first base, but
was out while trying to stretch it.
Burns in Rare Form
Bobbie Burns went right through the
whole performance almost without be-
ing touched, and had it not been for
single by Donahue in the seventh inning
the big fellow would have escaped COM
pletely. Still, one single in nine innings
is good enough for any of them, and
with the team behind him playing error
less ball, Burns had an easy time all
afternoon.
McCredie shook his lineup again yes
terday, but the result was not the same
as it had been on previous days. Moore
started out to catch, but after a while
he became tired of the job and resigned
in favor of Donahue, who had been
holding down the central portion of the
outfield. Arnold, a local busher, was
given try in the garden, and his one
chance to distinguish himself resulted
in frost. This was when he misjudged
fly and allowed two-bagger to he
recorded in place of what should have
been an easy out.
With the help of Happy Hogan the
Angels tried to touch off the pyrotech-
MICS in the third round, but Califf's
teammates came to the rescue and re-
tired the locals when things looked dan
gerous. After Delmas had popped out
Eager drew pass, and was sent on
station, when Burns surprised every
body present by singing to left. Califf |
seemed to be up in the air, but Schimpff |
came to the front on Bernard's hit to |
short and sent the Angels to the woods !
with double play, fielding the ball
from second base to Carson in plenty of
time.
In the fourth the Angels again man
aged to make a safe hit, but the fifth
went by without trouble of any sort |
Then came that fatal sixth, and the
Mudders' daily comedy of errors.
Eager Starts Something
Bobby Eager started it when he was
safe on Carson's muff, but Bobby lived
only short time to enjoy it. Burns
walloped one down to short and
Schimpff scampered over to second in
time to force Eager there but Schimpff
was intent on making double, and in
throwing to first tossed the sphere over
to the bleachers, giving Burns a chance
to land on the keystone pillow.
Bernard came out of his trance and
lined out pretty double to center that
scored Burns, and when Ellis picked out
the same spot for his attempt Curtis
also crossed the rubber. Ellis made |
third on wild pitch, and Dillon was
there with a pretty sacrifice to get him |
home
The eighth period also looked busy for
the Angels, but appearances were de-
ceptive and nothing came of it. Ber-
nard made a pretty bunt and beat the
ball to first in his regular old-time |
style, and then went to second. A bad |
throw by Califf gave him a chance 10 |
get nearer home, but in trying to steal |
Bernie was caught between third and
home and run down. Had he remained |
on the pillows it would have meant an
other run, for Brashear contributed to |
the hit column with a pretty single to
center field.
Hy Berry endeavored to arrange
things so that the Mudders and the
Angels could perform double-header
today in order to play off one of their
postponed games, but there was nothing
doing. McCredie stated that he had no
extra pitcher on hand, and that his
team was too bunged up to do their
best, and that he could not see Berry at
all. According to the dope the fudge
should have jumped at the chance, for
no matter how rotten they are during
the week the Oregonians are alwavs
there in the twin performances. as the
dope for the last five double-headers
In which they participated shows.
