LUCKY ACT
UNABLE TO
SAVE ANGELS
CUSTOMARY RALLY TAKEN IN
SEVENTH INNING
sox OFFSET FIVE RUNS BY
SCORING EIGHT
Same old Story of the One Hoss
Shay Playing Against OPP
posing Luck of
Stockings

That seventh inning lucky piece went
through every eontortion and change
of complexion a hoodoo destroyer Is
supposed to undergo to save the Angels
from the tolls of the White SoX yester-
day afternoon, but Dillons charges
would have none of its superstit1ous as
sistance and ended their third days
work seven points behind Chicago S
row OF an even dozen decorations on
the blackboard.
The speciaIties of the variety comedy
order were far more interesting TO
watch than most stages of the main at
traction, and no real action was not1ce-
able until after the sixth, When the
Angels threw old natural, the seventh
that gets more natural every time the
acres are inhabited, and commenced 10
show eighteen karat symptoms of walk
ing up.
When the curtain fell on this act
Slivers Nagle was chasing around the
coaching circle at first base like Spide
after his tail, the small guardian of the
score board was standing on his heao,
and Hank O'Day was just commence
ing to lose his pallor after being as
sailed by eighteen players.
All this excitement was caused by a
steal to the plate, executed by Dillon on
a balk ball when the bases were full
beautiful singles in rapid succession.
Unanimously the Stockings trooped up
to Professor O'Day TO get an eXplana-
tion of the play with looks which
limited of a bloody rebellion. However,
Hank had the presence of mind to keep
on his mask and breast protector ana
backed up his own Judgment behind
this coat of arms. When the SoX
finally were able to comprehend tine
nature of the embezzlement they made
signs like jotting it down for future
use.
Anderson and LIE Jeune. the two big
gest men in the special train, came
in for a share of admiration in accord
ance with their size. The giant first
baseman licked out his reversed glove
and put a quietus on what looked like
at least a double from Dillon's hickory
when the cushions were occupied Dy
three Angels eager to fly to the roost.
LIE Jeune put the first ball of the sea-
son over the left field fence and the
trees shading the ferris wheel. This
little trick netted two of the tray OF
passages made by the Yannigans in the
ninth. Kitty Brashear almost dupli-
Gated Andersons feat of ledgerdemain
after the Frenchman's championship
vallop by jumping into the air to pull
down a drive from Tip O'Neil's lam
rod.
The three runs in the ninth were pre-
ceded by five in the eighth, gained in
the same manner which has character
lied the two other easy victories of
team number two. Dolly Gray was put
in the hole to fill Hosp's shoes and
E,asterly relieved Hogan. 1t was
Dolly's off day, and his vocabulary of
queries refused to operate successfully,
sc that the big pitcher did but little
better than an amateur OlmStead
singled to OakeS, who should nave
thrown him out to Dillon, but ague
seized the little fielder's wing and he
held on until Clmstead was safe. An
Gerson ratified a drive against Ellis
shins and Davis bunted to Dillon, who
threw over Cakes head, letting Ohm
stead and Anderson to the bench. lie
Jeune took a dying chance with an
other fudgy one and Gray and Easterly
disputed over who should handle it un-
til the Frenchman was anchored at the
initial sack. Purtell put a dent in the
left field telephone post with cannon
Eall slam which gave Davis his papers
OF release and let LIE Jeune to third.
Armbruster drove to Delmas and lie
Jeune was caught in siesta Delmas to
Smith. Fiene bounced to short and
ONeil doubled to deep left bringing
Fiene and Armbruster home. Osteen
sneaked his rest on a passed third
strike, but Olmstead was unable to con-
tinue the slaughter and forced Osteen
at second.
