Sacramento. 6; Vernon, /

We like you, Happy, but don't let
It happen again. There isn't any tan,
big or little, rich or poor, in the Angel
City who has aught but praise for
Happy the Hoganite, who doesn't take
pride in the achievements Of the young
est manager in the Coast league, who
doesn't share with Hap a bit of per-
sonal pride whenever the Vernonites
win a game. But for love Of your
faithful supporters and admirers don't
let your team turn their backs and
run away from another game, Aside
from one inning, Schafer pitched nice
ball, and he wasn't half bad in that
fatal fourth, allowing only three hits,
which by no means entitle team to
a one-sided victory. But his support
was chiefly noticeable by its absence.
Seven errors tell the sad, sad story
without any trimmings. If Schafer hao
been in his finest form-and he wasn't
and had clamped the lid on the Sem
ators without mercy he couldn't have
won yesterday The infield had an
awful time, and the Grahamites
seemed to take delight in hitting the
ball wherever and whenever it could
shake the hearts Of the Vernon men
to the utmost. Hap, however, had no
excuses. He sat on the bench and
watched the Sacramento team saunter
on to victory, shaking his head dole
fully, and commenting in a hoarse,
muttering sort of way something about
ian off day" Hap is as jealously
watchful Of his team as a cat over a
big fat mouse. An error makes him
squirm, hit sends him into the sew
enth heaven of delight. But he
squirrned and squirmed yesterday, and
ascended into his seventh heaven Of
rapture on few occasions, far between.
After the fourth, there wasn't much
to 1t, except that Sacramento scored
twice more, and the Vernon men made
some awful errors. Here goes for the
fourth inning scoring. Myers walked
and went to second on Gandil's sacri- |
flee. He reached third on Flannagan's
out, and scored when Haley fumbed !
Raymer's hit. Doyle then gave an eX-
hibition of what a fast and brainy /
player can do. He singled to left-get-
ting Raymer to third and stole sec
ond, bringing two men within scoring !
distance before the fans could rub
their eyes twice. Charlie Graham, the
most formidable pinch hitter in the
league, came up next, and Of course
there was more scoring Immediately.
He singled infield, and when Truck
Eagan threw the ball away, both Ray
mer and Doyle scampered home. This
so unsteadied Schafer that he passed /
Fitzgerald, and Jimmy Shinn singled I
to center bringing home his captain. |
Darringer ended the misery by going |
out, Eagan to Brashear.
More In the Seventh
There are just two more innings to
the scoring and for the sake of the I
love we bear for the lowly Vernonites,
we won't go into details regarding the
remainder of the game, In which runs
were narrowly averted on several oc-
casions. In the seventh, Shinn got
around almost by himself. He landed
safely on Haley's wild throw to first,
was sacrificed along by Darringer, and
scored on Browns wild throw to Dever-
eaux, who was caught flat-footed off
the bag, the runner beating his throw
home by twenty feet
In the eighth, Raymer singled, after
one man had gone out and Dolye
forced him. Demon" reached second
on another wild throw by Haley, and
stole third, scoring on Grahams single
to left. This was all, for though .
Brashear got over In the ninth on his
single to center, advancement on .
wild pitch and Coy's single to left, and .
scored the one run of the Vernonites |
when Eagan hit one to Shinn which .
he tossed wild to Raymer, it was mere
1y a fash in the pan. Devereaux struck .
out, as he has been pretty monoto-
nously Of late, and Brown forced Ea- |
gan at second. The tabulated results: |
