Happy Hogan stepped into the situa-
tion yesterday in the last of the tenth
inning and won the game. There is
something peculiarly braeing to team
when the leader takes active and per-
sonal command In q trying moment.
Baseball players-the best, the worst
and the most Indifferent Of them-are
but human, and the entrance into the
game of the master mind brings added
snap, confidence and speed, Time and
again has this been noted In the Coast
league. Yesterday the Hoganites might
have won without the personal assist
ance of their chieftain. And again they
might not. 1t was not altogether Hap's
victory, but he did what he said he
would do when he replaced Vance at
the plate-brought the runner to third
so that another bit of stick work
brought him over and won the game.
With the score tied, l to 1, Brown on
second where he had landed after doub-
ling over third base chalk line, and no
one out, Hogan sizzled a sacrifice to
Brown, ran it out to be slowed away
IN the morgue, but showed his man TO
third on the play. StoVall followed and
successfully accomplished his effort to
bring in the run. Pitcher Fred Brown,
after replacing Baum and delivering
beautiful game for the Senators, had
weakened slightly, and with a man on
the ball TO him, and Drummond Brown,
who was already half way toward
home, crossed the plate on the hit,
Brown throwing wildly to third and al
lowing Jess to reach the base safely,
though the error was made after the
game was over, for Browns tally had
settled matters.
Vance Delivers Well
Pitcher Vance twirled neat game all
the way, getting stronger as he pro-
ceeded, and finishing that tenth inning
like a veteran. He eased up twice, and
three bad errors back of him didn't help
him any. But the Grahamites were
lucky to get their one run, though they
gave Hogan the shivers in the eighth
by poking a man to third. Demon
Doyle spoiled it all by fouling out un-
luckily for the northerners to Catcher
Brown. Gandil had stung hot one
through Devereaux, who had an off day
yesterday, and had got to second when
Brashear dropped throw, and TO third
on Raymer's single. But Doyle's out
was the third one and it cut off pretty
chance for winning score.
Senators Start Scoring
Sacramento opened the scoring. In
the second, with one out, Doyle was
safe when Vance threw wildly to first.
LaLonge was walked, Baum struck out.
and Jimmy Shinn scorched a double to
center, bringing Doyle over the pan.
Mickey LaLonge tried to stretch 1t into
two runs and was caught at the plate.
Vernon got the tie run in the fourth.
Bernard hit infeld, Martinke was hit
by a pitched ball, Brashear singled to
left, and Bernie trotted over amid wild
outbursts Of joy. Coy sacrificed and
Eagan went out on first base play
unassisted. DeVereauX came to bat
with man on third and the game to
win, but he pounded the air thrice.
stovall Scores Winner
After that scare in the eighth Vance
settled down, and he put the screws on
SO tight that the northerners got never
another opportunity. In the last of
the ninth Brashear reached third on his
single through third, Coy's beautiful
sacrifice and Eagan's out, but once
more Devereaux struck out and tossed
away a score. However, persistent
pounding finally brought about the de-
sired result. Drummond Brown
smashed out a double to left for Yer
non in the last of the tenth, making a
nice slide to second for safety. Hogan
sent Vance up, and after the young
ster had taken a strike he recalled
him, went in himself and lined a sacri-
fee hit to the infield, sending his catch
er to third. This was all Hap cared
about, for Stovan kept his promise and
hit D. Brown over for the winning run.
Drummond had taken a big lead off the
bag, awaiting the signal. He was half
way home when the ball left the pitch
ers hands, and was across the plate by
the time Fred Brown had recovered
the sizzler and had got ready to throw
it. Then we all went home, awaiting
the morrow. The tabulated results:
