with Second Baseman Ivan Howard ds
the principal, caused the Seals to lose
yesterday in the last half of the ninth
inning, after an early batting rally
| that Mohler would have gambled had
cinched the game.
1t will be a happy Captain Kidd and
his crew who shake the dust of the An
gel City from their spikes for the last
| time this season, after they get through
with the Angels next Tuesday. In the
! last two appearances of the San Fran
cisco team against Los Angeles on the
local grounds there has been naught
of a pleasing nature to the Seal chief
tain. He has had to fight for every
thing he has secured, and from the
present indications, as the weather.
man would say, it looks as if he would
trek northward with the banner of de-
feat tagged to the travelling" blue
again.
Crimp in Champions
Those three straight have put an aw-
full crimp in the arrogance of the lord
ly champions. They are playing nova
days with heads lowered as if ashamed
to acknowledge that this is the team
that by a hot squirt in the early and
mid-season games cinched the Coast
league pennant. And 1t is indeed a diff
ferent team which is playing, for it
has temporarily lost every ounce of
pepper it once Haunted so proudly. But
few defeats are great Jewelers.. They
forcefully bear in upon all of us oc-
casionally that there is always room
for others on the top step of the ladder.
With the exception of one inning,
W1Itpr N1gla the da6dU Of AnorhI
pitching staff, was thoroughly effec-
tive. In the sixth he blew up tenn
porarily, but his teammates remained
steady and, after a little difficulty,
Walter steadied down. In the mean
time the Seals had managed In some
way or another-they are still figur-
ing out just how-to secure four runs,
giving them a two-run lead over tho
Angels. Then Dillon's men woke UP
and began an aggressive campaign
that, little by little, brought them even
and shot them ahead.
Ninth is Hummer
The ninth inning was a rafting ses-
sion. With the score tied and the
chance to win the game or go on into
the extra inning, the Angels strove
| hard to put one over.
With two men gone, Howard had
reached third on his safe bunt, pret-
tily executed along first, a sensational
steal to second, and Delmas' force-ouC
of Jud Smith, who had been passed.
Hughie Smith went to bat and Bull"
Durham, who had replaced Eastley,
started to wind III: The players were
just getting ready to walk into the
| field for the tenth, hardly hoping that
another run could be scored. Bull
turned his back to watch Smith at
fn the infipl6prq IN
watch for a squeeze. AS he did so,
Howard dashed for the plate and, hav-
ing shaved yesterday morning, man
aged to slide over in safety, winning
the game by his tally. 1t was beauti-
full finish to a pretty game, and Ivan
got a hearty reception from the stand
ing grandstand and bleachers.
Angel Stlckers Wake Up
Pitcher Eastley looked to be in a soft
spot up TO the fourth inning. Then
the Angels descended on him in full
array and slaughtered his record with
out pity. Daley ambled>to first on four
wide deliveries, Goodwin singled to
right, sending Daley to third, and Ross
fouled out to Berry. Beall slapped
clean and terrific single through CEN
ter scoring Daley and Butler went in
to run for the. Chicagoan. Howard
bounced the ball over Mohler's head,
and this scored Goodwin. The fifth was
uneventful.
San Francisco got even for the time
being in the sixth, as follows: With
one out, Eastley singled to left and
took second on Hughie Smiths wide
throw to first Davis hammered the
center board fence for a double, scor
ing the Seal pitcher, and Zeider was
passed along. Then the Judge tried
to slip one over on Miller shooting
over the ball after a strike. Hughie
wasn't looking for double-cross play,
and he let the ball go by bringing
Davis over and Zeider to third Miller
walked and stole second, scoring on
Mundorff's triple to right, which also
brought over Rollie zeider.
Score Is Tied
Los Angeles went after tie score
in their half and nearly succeeded III
getting 1t. Nagle singled, went to sec
ond when the ball went through the
center fielder, and tried to score or
Godwin's hit, but was caught at the
plate. Goodwin got to second on the
play and Ross hit him in.
Doubles in quick succession in the
seventh tied the score for the Angels.
Howard raped neat wo-bagger and
Jud Smith repeated with the first ball
pitched. Right here, Mohler had enough
of it and he called Eastley to the
bench, sending in Durham. Jud got to
third but stuck there.
The eighth and the first half of the
ninth passed peacefully and then How
ard worked his safe bunt and stolen
bases for the run, which won the game.
The score:
