Angels IL, Seals 2
Just to show the Seals what founda-
tion their hopes for the pennant are
builded upon, Cap Dillon trotted out
Andy Briswalter, former local anna
teur pitcher, yesterday afternoon, and
gave the Seals a Il to drubbing. Just
to dispel that pehnant hope, of course.
1t was a good game at that, ana the
large crowd of fans thoroughly enjoyed
1t. Many fans were a bit disappointed
when it was announced that Brtswalter
and Skillman were to be the opposing
slabsters, as Briswalter had been pitch
ING in amateur and Semi-p professional
games SO long that it was feared he
would prove inadequate to the occa-
sion.
But. it must be remembered, this
Briswaltec fellow has not been any dis
appointment at any time since he was
given his first professional tryout, and
with god backing in the field and at
bat, he made the Seals look like lot
of busters. Their touted heavy hitters
got ouy five hits off him in nine innings
and we're lucky to scratch in two runs.
Andy had everything but the mumps,
He clrved the ball SO mysteriously that
the Seals thought 1t was q p-ball and
theT simply could not connect with it,
although they always had 'opes.
The story Of the game shows that the
as they could not hit the former anna
teur, and they became so near-sighted
they could not help making errors, and
seven ineXcusable misplays were
chalked UP against them. The Angels
made two errors, otherwise the visitors
probably would have been further hu-
INFLATED by a whitewash score. Follow
ing is the tale in detail:
Seals Start In Front
rrt,o caof- e4o rfad fro,of co0f.-
ing one run in the first inning; and
they made another in the third, maxi
ing the score stand to in that round.
Briswalter had warmed UP to the exi-
gencies of the occasion, and after the
third he refused to allow the visitors
to get even close. After Briswalter had
proved his good class the Angel Wallop-
ers rallied to his support and tore Off
six runs in the fourth, two in the sixth,
two in the lucky seventh and another
in the eighth.
The first run for the visitors came in
the opener. Mohler was passed and
Hildebrand, who is trying to cinch that
Sacramento job, tripled to center, scor-
ing his captain. Zeider went the
Wheeler Dillon way and Melchoir
popped a foul to Smith. Then big Nick
williams fractured the atmosphere.
Another, and the last one, was scored
in the third. Skillman famed. Mohler
singled to left and took second on
Easterly's bad throw to first. Hide
= brand flew to Ellis and Mohler scored
on the out. Zeider flew to Oakes and
ended the prospects of the Seals.
Angels Get Real Bad
Up to the fourth inning the Angels
had not found Skillman for a safety,
but in that round they touched him up
for five hits and six runs. They had
the Seals standing on their heads. Here
is how 1t was done: Wheeler doubled
to center and Dillon bunted to Skill
man, who got tangled up in his feet
and fell. Dillon being safe at first and
Wheeler skipping to third. Dillon
rubbed it in by stealing second and
then Brashear drew a pass. Smith
bingled safely to left and Wheeler tai
lied Berry threw wildly to third and
Dillon scored Ellis bunted to Skill
man, who tossed the ball over first, and
Brashear and Smith tailed Delmas
singled to left, scoring Ellis Easterly
was thrown out at first by McArdle,
and Briswalter singled to center, seor-
ing Delmas. Oakes flew to Beck and
Wheeler was safe on Zeider's juggle
Briswalter was caught trying to steal
third.
Two more were added by the Angels
in the sixth. Briswalter flew to Hide
brand Oakes hit infleld and Wheeler
sacrificed. Dillon tripled to right, scor-
ing Oakes. Brashear walked, and as
he attempted to steal second Berry shot
the ball to Zeider, who returned 1t i'm
mediately to home and Dillon was
caught at the plate, but Berry dropped
the ball and the run, was counted
Berrys shows his awful disposition
and goes to the bench in big huff, but
when Captain Mohler orders him to
get back in the game he starts to do
business, meanwhile hurling a vocal
volley or two at O'Connell, who puts
him out n the game and Cap Mohler
adds So plaster for his enthusiasm.
After fChe Seals lineup had been
changed nearly all the way round Smith
ended the agonys by popping to Nc
Ardle.
The final run of the game was scored
by the Angels in their last time up, in
the eighth inning. Dillon doubled to
right and went to third on Brashear's s
out, Williams to Jones. Smith singled
to left and Dillon scored. Indifferent
playing thereafter ended the inning
without further runs. Following are the
official score and summary:
