Los Angeles 4, Portland 2
Portland may not have a winning
baseball team, but certain it is that the
cellar rats stirred UP more real ex-
citement at Chutes park yesterday az
ternoon that has been witnessed for
many a day. Umpire Derrick was the
center of attraction. and for while 1t
looked as though the ancient gentle-
man who presides over the local d1a-
mond would meet with mishap.
AS it was Judge McCredie, after be-
ing thrown out of the game, hurled a
baseball at Derrick which missed his
head by several feet.
not keep quiet and was fined $40. Cap
Dillon was not fined, but according TO
Derrick, after the game, went as far
as he could without losing some money.
Because Derrick did not see Dillon
bowl over first baseman Carson OF the
Portland team, thereby assisting MN
to throw ball over Donahue's head,
the Mud Hen brigade Joined in ter
rife uproar which in the end did them
no good.
And then to make things complete,
Los Angeles won out in one of the
scrappiest conflicts to occur on the To-
cal diamond.
Excitement Intense
Excitement was intense and the close
play. combined with an aptitude on the
part of both teams to dispute every
decision of Umpire Derrick resulted IN
a tumult which lasted till the final out
had been recorded.
AS for Mercedes act in throwing
the ball at Derrick no excuse can be
offered, however great the provocation.
Especially is this true in that NC
Credie is captain and manager of his
team.
Not only on Derrick alone did Nc
Credie wax sore Those in the right
field bleachers were treated to a con-
tinuous dialogue by the Portland
leader
''Now you bullheads watch for that
squeeze play" yelled Mac in one in
stance.
The Portland leader was disgusted
when his men fell down in tight places
and told the Angel fans what he
thought of the team in general. What
he said might not be repeated in polite
society.
Something happened in the ninth, or
rather several things happened which
all but changed the turn of events.
Bert Delmas after making a phenom-
email stop of Donahue's sizzler over Sec
ond in the eighth, made two errors sue
cessively, which came within an ace of
tying the score at least.
Another thing which appeared out
of order was the fact that Califf thrice
famed Carlisle, which is indeed a feat
for any pitcher to do, judging from the
manner in which Carly has clouted the
ball of late
Kitty Brashear was there with his
stick again and one of his attempts
resulted in pretty double down the
third base line.
Portland played in hard luck so far
as scoring was concerned. Time after
time the Mud Hens got men on bases
only to be forced at the plate or dou-
bled out.
Los Angeles secured a run in the sec
ond inning which also witnessed Dom
ahue's great catch of Hogans fly near
the Angel bench.
Donahue's Great Catch
Smith walked. Cravath bounded one
to Carson which bounced from him to
Califf. The latter snapped the ball to
Casey, who had covered first, and
Gravy was out. Delmas scored Smith
with a single to right.
Hogan sent high one toward the
Seraph resting place and it looked as
though Donahue stood no chance of
pulling 1t down. The little black-hai
fellow made a great effort and was
attended by a wild burst of applause
as ne returned TO the rubber.
Portland scored two in the fifth and
it appeared as though McCredie might
have something to crow about. The
sixth round proved disastrous and Los
Angeles tailed two more. Brashear
opened by reaching first as Shinn fun
bled his grounder.
Smith sacrificed him second. Dillon
hit to Shinn and was thrown out at
first. Brashear started with Shinn's
assist and kept on for the plate. AS
he passed first Dillon bowled Carson
over and the latter's throw to Donahue
went Wild Carson falling on his back.
Portland raised a rumpus, but Der
rick either did not see or overlooked
Dillon's discrepancy. CraVath walked
and reached third as Donahue threw
wild in an attempt to catch him at
second. Delmas hit down the third
base line and scored Cravath. Hogan
went out shortstop to first
In the seventh DunleaVy was called
out at first on a close decision and the
Mud Hens kicked some more. When
McCredie came i'm he said a bad word
10 Derrick and the latter waved him
out Of the game. Thereupon McCredie
hurled ball at the umpire and left
the grounds
McCredie's case will be settled bv
President Ewing when Derrick makes
MS report. II is believed that Ewing
VIII take rather severe measures with
MeCredie the more so because of his
position as captain and manager.
The score:
Los ANGELES.
