1t was G. great day for the bleachers
and the fans went wild when Los An.
geles took a brace and snatched hard
earned victory out of the jaws of what
looked like almost certain defeat.
Jimmie Toman officfated remarkably
we'll, making three breaks on strikes an6
balls and one decision on bases that
hardly passed muster.
Williams was taken off first and placed
behind the bat by Mohler, and Wheeler
covered third. Cravath was put back In
right field and Dillon appeared on his
steady at first. Esola batted for Streib In
the eighth, but failed to deliver the goods.
Spencer took Streib's place at second In
the ninth.
Los Angeles drew goose eggs five
straight, and Frisco failed to make a
run In the first three innings.
In the first half Of the fourth Will
Jams lead off by flying to Dillon. Irwin
went out, Hosp to Dillon. Melchoir
smashed q double through a hole to right
center and Zeider followed with q beauty
to left the sphere sailing over Carlisle 8
head, scoring Melchoir. Streib attempted
to bupt, but went out, Easterly to Dillon.
In the second half of the fourth Cra-
vath walked and Brashear sacrificed
realty, Gravy taking second. Toman
went blind at this critical juncture, CALI
ing strikes on wide and high balls sue
cessively on Ellis and Delmas, tanning
them unjustly.
In the first half of the fifth, Wheeler
picked out an easy one over Bernard s
head. Willis sacrificed. Dillon to Ber-
nard, showing Wheeler to second. Hide
brand sacrificed and Wheeler took third
Piper slammed a peach to left. between

who was mistaken, as Bernard beat the
ball to first by a fraction. Carlisle hit
10 right and got safe to second on low
throw by williams. Dillon walked. Cra-
vatll singled infleld and the bases were
full. Brashear got four balls, which, of
course, brought Carlisle in home anyway.
But Carlisle had started to steal when
Brashear had his third ball and rar
across the plate, which was not neces-
sary. Brashear having gotten his fourth
ball already, which would have 1orceo
Cariisles score.
Tcman at first, in all the rapid plays
and excitement. forgot that he had
called four balls on Brashear and only
Thought of Carlisle's being touched by
Catcher Williams before he got home,
so the umpire called Carlisle out.
Dillon, who had been roosting on third
vert into the air and left his base, run
ming over to Toman and arguing with
him about having called Carlisle out at
the plate. So tense and exciting was
the peculiar situation that all the players
lost their heads in the heat Of the dis
cussion concerning Carlisle. and the
Grafters forgot that Dillon should be on
third when they saw him in the diamond
chewing the rag with Toman and waving
his mitts. Happy Hogan finally grasped
the situation and ran madly to Dillon,
Jerking him back to his place on third.
Dillon landed safe just In time to beat
the throw to third by Williams, who by
fhfs time had been Jared into wakeful-
ness.
It was the funniest and most ludicrous
NAV ever seen at Chutes and the fans
went crazy with Joy.
Moi1ler delayed the game for five min
utes bv protesting to Toman, but finally
got 1t through his koko that, as mat
ter Of fact, Dillon had right to wander
where he pleased and could take car
to Garvanza If he could get back before
the Boodlers recovered from their Rip
Van Wrinkle stunt.
with the bases full again, Ellis came
up in @ storm of cheers, but all he could
do was to fly miserably to Piper, thus
epoi]ing one of the fanciest layouts that
Rave stacked up for many moon.
The Boodlers got busy In the eighth
and played harder because of being sore
on the Carlisle-Dillon occurrence.
Piper smashed to Brashear, who
reached 1t with one arm on long jump,
but the sphere glanced out of his mitt,
Piper landing safe. Williams bunted to
Hosr. who fumbled awkwardly, allowing
fhe Frisco catcher to reach first while
Piper took second. Irwin attempted to
sacrifice, but Hosp threw to Brashear at
third forcing Piper, and Irwin lit safe
at first. MeIchoir took his base on being
struck by pitched ball. advancing Will
Jams and Irwin and filing all the bags.
Zeider came to the scratch nobly, slam
ming a double to left. scoring Williams
and Irwin Esola handled the stick for
streib but only went out on high fly
to Cravath, which however, allowed
Nelchoir to score. Wheeler walked and
stole second on Easterly's hesitation as
to which base to throw to, and it looked
as though Frisco was up for several
more bingles. but willis ended the Bood-
Ierg saturnalia by going out Bernard to
Dillon.
Los Angeles braced in the second half

nomenal playing and making three runs

Ter. Easterly then started the grand bat
