Seals Helpless Before
Dolly Gray's Curves
Angels Give Oscar Jones Fine
Trimming i'm the Fifth
Inning
By w. j. SIaffery

Dolly Gray of the Angels figures
just about on the same line in the Pa
cifc coast league as Christy Mathew
son does in the National IAe=ue and
Rube WaddeIl in the American. II
would have brought tears to the eyes
of any one who entertained an ordinary
regard for the Seals to see them vainly
attempting to punch the offerings OF
the big Angel southpaw yesterday.
Wllliams and Beck hammered out
double sackers, but the rest would be
hitting at nothing even now had the
umplres allowed the farce to go on.
This Is only one side of the eventful
tale. What the Angels were doing to
oscar Jones was something trifie
dinerent. They acted in a very un-
clublike manner toward the local slab
ster and took advantage or him. II
was baseball advantage at that and
possibly legitimate, but it looked like
cruelty to the under dog.
only one one inning was needed to wreck the hopes
OF the seas Nobody needs more than one when
Jones it pitching. lie generally has enough tc
blank worlds champion nine for eight rounds
slate 1t is there every time Oscar starts, and
yesterday was no exception to the ancient rule
replete with nightmares basehits, bone headed
plays and everything that occurs In one Of those
sticking rallies on the diamond. Though he was
oeing slapped and walloped and hammered, os
car stayed with the job throughout. Nobody
tossed out the relief signal and nobody was
thoughtful enough to call copper
Howard. the new man from Indiana began the
parade by placing two cushion wallop against
the right field fence. Ellis hunted him dowr
the line and Delmas responded with rollickine
single into left that broke the long runless ses
sion and gave the Angels their lead. How ard
toss, but Berry dropped the throw and it was
all on. Then Hogan took the office and tore
on one that chased Delmas around to third
Gray came TO the rescue with double against
the right field fence and Ellis beat 1t home
Bernard drew a pass and Hogan came in wher
Oakes picked out another safe spot In right. Dill
Ion polished it on by scoring Gray and Bernard
with drive TO the favorite spot
The bombardmept was awful and the local
fans had visions of a hundred runs, but Nick
Williams made beautiful one handed catch OF
run. Dillon and Oakes tried TO pull of a double
steal second later, but the former was nailed
at the plate and the agony ceased.
San Francisco's efforts with the club were
more than painful. The two hits Of the team
we're doubles from the bats of williams and
Beck. The former tore of the frst of these In
the fourth spasm and went TO third On wild
pitch. but Beck and Berry faded away easily
and there no chance for a run Beck got his
with one gone in the eighth and 1t was the same
old tale.
The Angels tried the squeeze play only once
during the game. and then 1t went wrong when
Brashear hunted out TO williams They de
pended all the time resornding wallops and
they seemed able TO Jones any time they
pleased In the fatal fifth round. Outside of a
little wildness now and then. the big Angel
southpaw pitched a perfect game. The score:
