Gray MOws Seals Down
for Eight Rounds
Big Angel Soufhpaw Has All
the Local Stars on His
Staff
By w. J. SIaffery

The Seals are having an awful tough
row this week in their frantic endeav-
ors to get decision or two over the
southern champions They never
worked harder for less result than yes
terday afternoon, when they whaled
away for nine spasms at Dolly Gray.
and not till the final round were their
heroic efforts rewarded. Then the lone
run that was eased over the pan
seemed a sort of mockery. for the
Angels had already put three across
and the game was in for them beyond
the slightest question of a doubt.
The big Los Angeles southpaw had
another of those good days for which
he has been famous all season. To
say that he was there with everything
on the sIabster's menu was only telling
about half what he really did have.
He was so good that up to the ninth
inning the Seals grabbed but three hits
off his benders and they never came
within whistling distance of the pan
With Henley it was different. Those
high fast boys of his looked like huge
pumpkins travelling under half a head
of steam to the Angels. They began
to hammer the tall lad early in the
game and they never let up on him
either Henley is due TO tender the
boys a vote of thanks for the way they
fielded behind him, otherwise the An
gels would have gone twice as strong.
The very first man up, Bernard, lined
the ball to the clubhouse for a fat two
bagger, but Oakes hunted a fly TO Hen
ley: otherwise IL might have been
in the second period Wheeler singled
to right, Ellis sacrificed and after
Delmas had retired on an infield out
Easterley showed a fast one through
the infield and Wheeler rang the bell.
Then tsere was a long lapse and
dead silence till the eighth inning. II
evidently paid the Angels to wait. for
they did sort OF a double shuttle stunt
in that round and chased two runs
across. The work was accomplished
mainly through the successful use Of
baseball which the champions know so
much better than any of the others
An error by Mohler started IL. giving
put put hi him down with the first b.1nt. after
which Bercard singled to left. This
time Oakes got away with the lay
down. bunting almost perfectly. Henley
got the ball and tossed IL 10 the plate,
but Berry dropped the throw and Oakes
pulled up ct second in the meantime,
Easterley scoring.
but after falling on the first effort he
lifted a fly to far right field This
gave Bernard all the time he needed TO
come home. Brashear kept up the
Zeider booted. OakeS thought he could
score on the play, but Zeider made
pretty peg to the pan and nailed his
man by about a foot.
1t did not look as though the Seals
figured TO register a single one, but
they showed an additional flash of speed
and hooked one in the ninth while
Gray was temporarily in the higher
altitude. Mohler laced a single along
the first base line and Hide walked.
Zeider advanced the men by going out
to Dillon, and after Williams had bat
ted three holes in the ozone MeIchoir
planted single over second that
brought Mohler in and saved a white
coating for the boys.
There was hardly another moment
outside of that last inning when the
Seals even thought of putting a run
through on the big southpaw. As US
'ual. the Los Angeles fielder5 worked
like so many pieces of well oiled ma
chinery. They were always there to
gobble up the hard chances at the
critical moments. so what chance did
San Francisco have? The score:
