Los Angeles 9, Oakland 2
1t took two twirlers to beat Oakland
yesterday, but the Angel batters were
equal TO the occasion and administered
an awful walloping to the visitors. 1t
was a case of the wrong Mr.. Wright all
the way through, for the Commuters slab
artist was soft for the locals and handed
them whatever they called for.
And the Angels were real hoggish all
day, too. After they had the game
cinched Dillon sicked his men on until a
regular bombardment was in order, and
not until the final TALES had been
checked did the Angels stop.
The result of the days doing might
have been different If Dillon had not re-
moved Hosp from the mound in the
fourth and substituted Dolly Gray in his
stead. The San Diego busher had forgot
ten to bring his control from the club
house with him, and he was so liberal
with his wares that a change was in
order After Gray went on the hill there
was nothing to 1t, for Dolly was at his
best and hard to touch
Oakland's only look in occurred in the
third inning, when the visitors chased
two of their number across the platter
lucky to get off so easy, and in the fol-
lowing inning Dillon decided that the
San Diego busher would not do and sent
him to the bench to think 1t over And
that San Diego fan In the grand stand
who has been yelling for Hosp all week
shut up for the first time in several days
Oakland's four errors helped the An
gels along over the path of nine runs,
but the way the locals were sapping the
1T r1o1
won the game no matter how the opposi-
ton played. Eleven wallops. and some
of them of the extra base variety. were
scored against Wright, and in every in
ming where the Angels made hit one or
more runs were recorded
In the opening spasm the visitors were
retired in short order. two fouls and an
out at first doing the damage Bernard
made the first out for Los Angeles, and
then Carlisle tore off a screamer that
went to the score board, the little fellow
reaching third before the ball was back
in the lot Dillon laid down a nice sacri-
flee and the man on third came home
with the first run.
Ellis Wallops Leather
Ellis was the hero of the second round,
for he lined out a neat triple to right
when his turn came, after Brashear was
out Delmas was there with the needed
bingIe and scored Rube from third. Ho-
gan and Hosp ended the round with outs.
In the third the Commuters got busy
and made things look dubious for the
bush twirler from San Diego. With one
down Bernard juggled Wright's effort and
the latter was safe at first; Smith waited
for the wide ones and walked, and Van
Haltrens single through the fnfield filled
the bags, with only one gone.
Heitmuller came next and he singled
to left scoring Wright Eagan singled
to center and scored Smith, but Van Hal
tren was caught at the plate on Ellis
pretty assist of the hit. Eastwood
popped up a high one which was taken
care Of by Bernard, and the doings were
over
The Angels weren't to be headed, and
came right back in the fourth with two
more tallies Cravath singled to right,
and Brashear sacrificed him on a cushion.
Ellis singled to the infield, and Cravath
scored when Eastwood dropped Wright's
assist of Delmas' bunt. Eager. who was
taking Hap Hogans place behind the
protector. forced Ellis at third on
grounder to Devereaux, and Delmas
scored on Gray's hit to center
Another tally was registered by the To-
calls in the fifth, when Carlisle started
things with a single back of short. Dill
lon bounced one down to Bigbie, but
there was no one at second to take care
of the ball when it was fielded down to
force Carlisle, who kept on to third.
Cravath was out on grounder. but Bra
shear was there with the wallop that
gave Carlisle chance to get home in
safety.
The sixth spelled further disaster for
Wright as the Angels gathered in two
more runs. Carlisle grounded out to Big
bic and Dillon hit to right for bag.
Cravath's long bingle to center sent Cap
on to third, and when Devereaux muffed
the throw from Eastwood. Dillon
chased home, Cravath following him in
by narrow margin.
Dillon wouldn't let his men quit with
the score in sight, so they went out after
Wright again in the eighth. Truck Eagan
played with Grays grounder to short and
the twirler was safe, being pushed on a
base by Bernard's sacrifice. Carlisle was
getting used to Wright, so he lined out
two-sacker that scored Gray. Dillon flew
out, but Cravath connected with a single
that gave Carlisle all the leeway he
needed Ia reaching the plate. Cravath
ended the doings when he was caught
stealing second.
Hap Hogan was put out of the running
early in the game by being spiked on the
right hand by Van Haltren. Bobby Eager
was put in back of the protector and
played a swell game all the way The
