The southern fans will have to be
satisfied with watching the bulletin
boards for the results of the northern
games today, and specializing on the
probable outcome of the week s serl 7S
between the Vernon team and the PORT
landers. There is no game today, oW-
ing to the long jump which the Beavers
face in reaching Los Angeles after ne
series in their home town with tiie
Seals. Tomorrow afternoon the iosah-
ties and the northerners Will meet OH
the Chutes park field in the first game
Of the week The game which was TO
have been played today VIII De held
next Monday afternoon at Chutes park.
Somewhat tired but with broad
smile extending to the rear molars OF
every member of the team, the Vernon
ites headed by their victorious chief
Happy Hogan the Lucky, arrived in
Los Angeles last night, and as they
climbed off the Pullmans were met
by the greeting of their admirers. on
you Hogani" came the call from the
crowd. And Happy will hear this cry
several times this week, for he has
added immensely TO his popularity by
his feat in bringing home a winning
bunch.
1--WE are in good shape. and guess
we have done our share" was Hogan
comment last night. Every game we
PLAYED had to be won by hard hghtlng,
for the Oaks are playing in good style
nj. f,f OF
bad. is it?' And everyone supported
this in a chorus. I'VE found the CROWDS
good all the week. Oakland is turning
out well this season, and they gave US
and their home team good support. sun
day we drew a big crowd at both
games"
Two of the members of the team are
on the hospital list temporarily, but
both will be in good shape speedily.
Stovall is suffering with bad leg,
which was severely sc>aped in a daring
slide to a base. He may be out OF a
few games, but his injuries are not
serious. Pitcher Schafer has bad
arm, and he took cold in the north, be-
ing unused to the bay wind.
In tomorrow's game with Portland
the first of series, Hogan will place
Schafer in the box if he is in good
shane. and If not he will substitute an
other of his stronger pitchers. Hogan
is anxious to get away from the post IN
good trim, and will make every effort
10 land the opening game. Hit has
been pitching in splendid form, win
ming both his games against Oakland,
and he may go in the box If Schafer
cannot be used.
OF course it is unnecessary to say
that Hap is joyful; that would hardly
fit his case, for after winning consis-
- inc xrrf+h
the cellar champions he has every
license to wear a broad smile. The
victories up north have added ginger
and dash to the t-.1rn work of the
YOUNGSTERS and there is every reason
to look for a different article of bail
than that they put up against the
Seals at their last appearance here.
Nothing puts a team into winning form
better than a few well earned VIC
tories, and the Vernonites have de-
served every game they won against
the oaks. Hogan, by his remarkable
hitting, must receive a big share of
credit for the turn in the wheel of for
tune.
Angels Are Climbing
Los Angeles and Sacramento continue
their arguments today at the Sacra-
1nento diamond. There Is no more en-
thusiastic town on the coast as far as
professional ball goes than the Capital
CITY of the state, and these two teams
regarded as the most formidable in the
pennant contention, will draw big
crowds at the northern city. The An
gels seem to have hit their winning
stride, and most of the fans who have
watched the work of the locals in the
last week against the Grahamites ex
pect the champions to take the majority
Of the series, despite that Sacramento
is playing in their own field and before
a home crowd.
Vernon and the Angels have adj
vanced remarkably in the last week.
Vernon being well up toward fourth
place, within three games of Dillon's
team, and the locals leading in having
safely established themselves in third
place The hitting Of Right Fielder
Beall of the Angels II expected to be az
feature of the weeks play, as 1t was of
last series Beall has contributed
largely to the onward rush of the Dill
lonites by his timely hits when a single
meant a run.
At Oakland the Commuters will clash
with the Seals today. San Francisco,
by the previous showing on the two
teams should have no difficulty in
landing at least five of the series, but
ball TENS, like fighters, are erratic, and
the dope of past performances is not
always indicative of future efforts. The
change in the leadership of the Oaks
may bring about a reversal in their
playing form, and, If so, Longs leaders
will have to fight it out all the way.
Van Haltren was still in charge of
Portland when Hogan left, but the
transfer of leadership to Bill Reidy is
expected to take place this week.
