Koestner the hero of the 16-inning
game with Portland a few days ago,
essayed to twirl the opening game with
the Seals yesterday and before he had
unwound himself the visitors had piled
up three runs. This occurred in the
first inning. The SAILS made another
run in the second, and when they
started out to mop up with koestner
in the third he was taken out of the
box and Andy Briswalter, the crack
amateur that Berry recently signed.
went into the box. Briswalter, withour
warming up, allowed six hits and three
runs in the six and a half innings he
pitched.
The game developed into a slugging
bee from the jump. Both the Seals and
Angels seemed to have recovered their
batting eyes, and the way they pounded
the pitchers was something awful. IT
was sufficient needless to say, to graf
ify any desire of the fans for plenty OF
hitting Only a total of twenty eight
safeties were made during the nine in
nings, and half that many runs were
scored. So, even If the Angels did lose
it was a fine game to see.

the first inning as follows: MohleI
doubled to center, Hildebrand singled
scoring Mohler and putting Hildebrand
on third. Melchoir drew a free ride to

plate. Berry flew to Ellis and Mel

become chronic with the Seals and
they added another brace in the third.

to right and on Nagles misplay went
to third. Berry doubled to the score

on Smiths wild throw to first. Hogan

out and Ellis singled to center. Del
mas doubled to center, scoring Wheeler
