take your choice, for San FRANCISCO
will not give the local fans chance
to size the bunch UP until next week.
The game played by the Beavers was
all to the Merry Widow yesterday
and there were no excuses for the An
gels when they chalked up the snort
end OF the score.
McCredie has certainly picked up
some live ones in Danzig and Plnnance'
the Indian twirler he unveiled yester-
day. Danzig is the fastest big man
ever seen on the local lot, and the
Chickasaw has an assortment Oh
curves that ought to go well IN any
company. Portland's old tendency TO
blow up at critical moments cropped
ont for a moment, but it didn't last
long, and they had the Angels puma
loed all along the line.
Pinnance had one bad inning. the
sixth. Four safe swats were garnered
off him in that act, and with Bra
shears home run thrown in they were
good for a trio of tallies Aside from
that one act the native son allowed but
one safe bingle, and that didn't nelp
Berrys men a bit. Hosp was batted
freely when Portland found it neces-
sary, and the four runs made were just
enough to turn the trick.
One single in each of the first and
second innings got the visitors moth
ing, but in the third the blossoms
bloomed little fuller. Jud Smith, VINO
is beginning to be the meat for the
fans roasting oven, heaved P1nnance
grounder way over Dillon's head, and
the aborigine traiIed into the second
eating house before his ticket was
punched. Casey helped things along
with a sacrifice, and it appeared as
though Hosp would escape trouble
Rube Tries Hard
Such was not so, for McCredie
dropped one over third that Rube
Ellis could not quite reach The boy
made a noble try, but the ball got by
him. and before he could wing 1t back
into the scene of action Pinnance had
tailed. McCredie reaching -hird. Dan
zig scored Mac with a single over
first, but failed to do himself any
good when Easterly pegged the ball
to second in time to nip an attempted
purloin.
A two bagger by Johnson opened the
fourth round, and Cooney stuck him
on the corner cushion with :. neat sac
rifice. Bassey's single was too fast
for any one in the vicinity of second
to snaggle. and Johnson came home
under wraps Easterly again displayed
his wing when he shot the ball to Ber-
nard and intercepted Bassey.
The Angels tied the score in the
sixth and it looked like a bad time

to open the spasm and stuck to the in
troductory stop while Dillon popped
to Cooney Brashear drove a long fly
out to left center and cantered around
the bases after it had bounced over
for a home run. With two tallies al
ready in Jud Smith got his yearly sin
gle and stole second just before Ellis
beat out an inf1eld hit and in time to
go to third on the play. The squeeze
came in handy at this period, Delmas
handling the bat, but with Smith safe
in the cage the Angels refused to do
any more and retired.
Things went along with some fast
shooting but no scores. until the ninth
Danzig went faster than an infield hit
and was sacrificed to second by john
son. Dillon kept him on the center
station by handling Cooney's grounder
without help, but Bassey's clean
double to the middle lot sent Danzig
scurrying in with the goods. The next
Beaver up died, but too late to help
the locals.
Dillon got his men together in their
half of the ninth for final squirt and
called George Wheeler in to manipu-
late the club after Easterly had fol-
lowed two outs with a position on the
bases. George was not there with the
slammer and the Angels were killed off
one length to the bad. The statistics:
