Oscar Jones' Hoodoo Works to Advan-
tage Of Champions, Enabling

Behind and win
Anuels s, Seals q

The same old, mean hoodoo that has
been pursuing Oscar Jones for so long
nabbed him again yesterday and made
him lose a game for the Seals by one
run that he seemed to have won al
ready. Victory shifted to the Angel
banner in the lucky seventh" once
more. enabling the league leaders to
make 1t three straight against the
balltossers from Boodletown.
About $50 fans sat through the game,
but hope was deferred for them until
1t became almost unbearable. Brilliant
fielding prevented either side from scor-
ing in the first four innings, but the
Seals took up the running In the fifth
and scored one. They repeated In the
sixth and 1t began to look as IL the
Angels were to be treated to dose of
kalsomine by twirler on whom they
always seemed to have the Indian sign
The Seal FEEDERS were backing up
Oscar In great fashion and were doing
so many sensational stunts and per-
forming almost impossible feats In rob-
bling the tribe of Berry of hits and
chances to score that Kid Mohler ac-
CURED the idea that his team had
struck the longed-for winning streak.
But the Angels and their loyal friends
In the grand stand and bleachers had
a different idea and never gave up
hope.
With the score to against them
in the beginning of their half of the
seventh the Angels showed Jones and
Mohler how to win a game by coming
from the rear and going out In front.
The first five Angels to bat walloped
Jones' curves like they were straight
balls. Here Is the way 1t was done:
Cakes singled to left, of course. He
always does that good. Dillon pushed
the ball out into center, almost break
ing n leg for Henley, sending Cakes to
third, while Cap took charge of Sec
ond. Brashear nearly tore the cover
off the ball when he landed on 1t and
1t lit away out in deep center. Kitty
evidently was angry with somebody,
as he went all the way to third be-
fore he would think of stopping, Cakes
and Dillon having registered at the
home station meantime. Smith clouted
the horsehide to left for a safety and
Brashear romped over the pan. Ellis
poked a safety into left garden for a
bag, advancing Smith one peg. Wheeler
sacrificed them one notch and when
Easterly flew out to Melchoir Smith
tailed number four for the Angels.
Nagle had more consideration for Oscar
than did the others and flew to Hide
brand, ending the agony for that in
ming. Another run was scored by the
Angels In the eighth, however, making
the score stand to Q.
For a few seconds after the Seals
began business In the ninth, 1t looked
rqually, but two runs was the best
they could do. Zeider doubled to left,
Curtis popped to Magic and Henley
put difficult chance up to Wheeler
and beat 1t out. Berry singled to CEN
ter and Zeider scored. Mohler re-
peated, scoring Henley. Then Maggie
thought things had gone far enough
and forced Hildebrand to hit an easy
one to Wheeler, which was handled
perfectly. retiring the side and cinch-
ing the game.
The Official score and summary Is as
