Los Angeles 7, San Francisco I

NAV ELL! Well What do you know
w about that? Four straight for
the Angels, and all from those
eight-star wonders, the Seals. And to
top it all it carries Berry's men to the
head of the class, giving them the
league leadership which was supposed
to be a gift to San Francisco.
The Seals played like bunch of
bushers yesterday, but even with some
National league shooting on their sal
airy arms there would have been moth
ing doing that looked like victory.
Frantz Hosp, the greatest development
of the year. was there again with his
fighting clothes on, and he three safe
ties the Seals garnered off him weren't
worth any more than a single tally.
For their part of the show, the An
gels took great fancy to the sweet
meats offered by Willis. His nice
benders were Strengthened out for
pretty hits at the right time, and with
the bunch behind him performing in
differently the visitors were in another
division all the way.
Hen Berry tried out Busher Bill
Goodman, and the sand-lotter made
good in every way. Several hard
chances were dealt out to Bill In the
left pasture and he took them all like
a vet. The club work was all to the
Eurrah, also, and in all probability he
will stick to q berth on the local pay
roll. George Wheeler is out of the
game because of blood poisoning and
Goodman will act as a regular until
his return.
Angels Score Early
The Angels broke in early, and be-
fore they were retired for the first time
had scored run. Bernard sapped one
down to Zeider, who juggled and gave
the batter lease on the first claim.
Oaks laid down his life and Bernie
pirched the next cushion in order to
be nearer home. A squeeze play with
Dillon manipulating the club went
through perfectly and Brashear's strike
out was recorded after the tally.
Bernard was the star of the second
inning, when, with one down and
man onethird, he went six feet in the
air to spear McArdle's liner. 1t looked
like a cinch single, and everyone on the
bags-and there were three Seals there
to account for the S. r. o. sign-tore
on for the next station. Bernard took
his time about completing the double
and finally shot the sphere to Dillon,
catching Mohler with his hat off.
Things were peaceable for a round,
but the locals had some fireworks in
pickle and unbottled them in the third
spasm. Easterly and Hosp were cred
tied with singles and Bernard sent
them on with a sacrifice. Oaks dis
played his skill with the oak by slam
ming single over third that scored his
predecessors. and the kids let loose on
the bleachers by Hen Berry had
Grand young celebration all to them
selves.
The Seals finally got a run over in
their half of the sixth on Curtis triple
to center and Williams long fly to GEN.
ter, but just to show them the locals
came in from the field and grabbed one
themselves. Oaks waltzed to first and
purloined the next two stops, and when
Smith singled he beat it for the polling
place.
Busy Eighth Inning
Willis real busy period of the game
occurred in the eighth inning, when
three hits were negotiable for a like
was sacrificed by Brashear being sent
to third on a passed ball. Smith
whanged the ball into right and called
for three bags, and Goodman followed
with a double to the other corner of
the lot that put Smith over the danger
line. Delmas was out but Easterley
had a two-sacker he wanted to get out
of his system and Immediately sprung
it on Willis, scoring Goodman. That
ended the show, for Hosp took pity on
his fellow slabster and punctured the
ozone.
A beautiful running catch by Oaks
of Melchors fly to center put crlmp
in whatever chances the Seals had to
tally in the final inning, and they We're
driven from the field with four straight
defeats staring them in the face. Let's
hope another will be added to the list
this afternoon. The statistics:
