Los Angeles 4, Oakland o


Statistical1y speaking. it's a shame
the way the champions are running
away from the tail-enders in the pres
ent series. The Angels took their fourth
straight victory yesterday afternoon at
Chutes park. 1t was the third shutout
handed the Commuters this week, and
the Dillonites have crossed the plate
seventeen times since the teams
clashed as compared with seven tallies
made in five games by the visitors.
Had it not been for that runaway first
game when the score sheet stood to
/ in favor of the Reidyites, the Oaks
would have been overwhelmed by the
avalanche of runs. AS it is, their show
ing against the champs has been just
about as form would place it.
1t was an errorfest yesterday after
noon, and that was about all there was
to it. The Dillonites took a big lead in
the first and third innings, and added
one run in the sixth to round out the
score. The cellar champions never had
chance at any stage, for Walter Magic
had them faded at the start, and they
failed after nine innings of searching
to discover any cleW to his delivery.
Four errors were made by the Oakland
men and three were allowed by the
locals.
This Oakland aggregation is the
finest morsel on which to fatten pitch
ers' averages that ever came out OF the
north. The Angel twirlers are rejoic-
ing this week, for only BrlsWalter mas
suffered at their hands. Dillon has
played a ring-around the-rosy game
and has given each of his staff OF box
men a Whirl at increasing their pitch
ing record. Yesterday it was Nagers
turn, and Walter improved it most
promptly. Inning after inning went by
with the Oaks failing to land, and up
to the beginning of the seventh only
two hits had been made off his delivery.
Then Just to encourage the fast failing
Commuters Nagel loosened up and al
lowed the tail-enders to get three hits,
none sof which did any damage. wal
ters curves were chosen from his
choicest assortment, and while he only
struck out three men the others, WIN
the exception of two who were walked
were easy for the tielders.
Pretty Fielding Feats
The innings in which scores came
we're almost the only highly exciting
periods, though Oakland once took
spurt and brought the crowd up cheer
ing. Furthermore there were three or
four really pretty fielding feats ana
queer Juggling combination double play
in the eighth that left the spectators
bewildered as to just how it came
about.
Goodwin had gone out via the Raglan
Cameron route in this last mentioned
period Then Beall came up and was
allowed to wander to first on a pass.
Howard hit a puzzling high fly to lett
field. and d. Lewis, running fast and
low, scooped it IN. Beall stood nat
footed on second and everybody waited
for someone else to do something, few
of them evidently believing that the
out was the third, and some OF the
others we're probably trying to figure
out why nothing was done to eaten
Real. 1t was one of those stand-still
moments that are liable to occur in any
situation when no one seemed to know
what to do. Then Van Haltren's eX-
perience and good head came to his
assistance and running in from center
field he took the ball and chased Beall
hack toward first. By this time almost
all the players of both teams were
gathered around first, evidently think
ing II was the side out. On a series OF
passes back and forth Cameron hhally
nailed Beall at the initial bag, ana
when the official scorer untangied , tne
mixup the play read something IKE
this; d. Lewis to McCay to Raglan to
Van Haltren to Murphy to Boice to
Cameron.
Make Good Beginning
The Angels scored one run in the first
inning. Daley walked, was sacrificed to
second by Goodwin and scored on BeaiPs
single through pitcher In the third
Orendorff singled infield, and Daley in
his turn was passed to first. Goodwin
hit soundly to left, scoring Orendorn,
and Daley was caught oveuunning
third. When Hogan at third. dropped
an easy pop fly by Beall, Goodwin
scooted safely home.
Beall beat out an infeld hit in the
sixth, went to second on Howard's out
Smith advanced him to third on an IN
field hit in front of the plate, and the
Cbica goan scored on Boice's wild throw
TO first, the ball rolling to the right
field bleachers. The score in deail:
