Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-12

Altrock and Lang were the power
behind the throne, and any old time
that they seemed in trouble, or the
Vernons seemed about to make a run,
the SoX twirlers settled down to real
business and the stuff was off. Backed
up by perfect support IL the field,
Altrock and Lang had no trouble IN
teaching Hogan and his Colts Valu-
able lesson in the hit-and-run game.
With hits galore, none well placed and
none timely swatted the Colts were
unable to make any headway at all
against the SoX, and the fans VINO
sat and cheered and encouraged the
newcomers against the invaders had
little chance for yelling.
At that the Colts put up pretty
game, played their positions nea4tl+ nd+
fully and batted like they knew what
they were paid for. They played the
high class minor league article that
they are expected to put up during the
Coast league season, and We're beaten
by a classier aggregation. The Wnlte
Sox bunch happens to be larry
classy outfit, and the fact that the
Colts gave them a humiliating trounc-
ing the previous day does not spell
much. The final game between the
two aggregations, which VIII be
pulled off Sunday morning at Vernon
will give the fans definite idea re-
garding the class of the two teams.
Hogan should get ready for this fray
and make his boys show their mettle,
as the final game will be referred 10
many times in comparing the chances
that the Colts will have against the
Angel terrors and other Coast league
teams.
Lang pitched the best game of the
pair of Sox twirlers, allowing four
hits. giving one base on balls ana
striking out half a dozen Colts. Alt
rock allowed three hits, gave one paSe
on balls and famed only one Colt. II
was a good game, one of those KIND
that causes the fans to enthuse with
hope and yet die in despair, and did
not occasion any losss in prestige for
the Vernon bunch. Without team
work and without practice together
the game the boys are putting up TINS
early i'm the season is very gratlfy-
ing. and if they do not show up as
contenders for the Coast league Hag'
i miss my guess.
The next game in which the White
Sox No outfit and the local clubs
will participate will be played this
afternoon at Chutes park, when the
Angels, the real bears of the Coast
league flag race will hook up with
this Yannigan bunch for what will be
g. real argument. Hen Berry is awful
sore because HOgan's outfit got an
even break with the Yannigans, and
says that it is up to the Angels to win
the remaining games OF pe IeHiuNSd
from the salary list The Sox and
Angels will play this afternoon, to-
morrow afternoon and again Sunday
afternoon, all games being called at
2:3O o'clock. Sunday morning the
Sox will go out to Vernon to play
Hogan's Colts again, and such game
never was witnessed in Southern
California. Those who know Hap
Hogan realize that he will win the
game if he loses a leg in the contest,
and the fans should begin arranging
this early il the season for attending
this game.
After this series is played off, No. 2
will go to Frisco and Coisiskey and
his champions will come south. Then
there will be real doings. The regu-
lars should show to better advantage
than the Yannigans, as they have
been at the business longer, and the
visit of the regular bunch will be more
Interesting because the fans like to
take a look at the boys who will be
playing for the American league pen
nant in a few weeks Dillon hopes to
sweep the remaining series with the
Yannings, and then he ready to mop
up with the regulars next week. as he
has heard that Hogan is preparing to
make better showing with the south
side aggregation than the Angels will
be able to make. 1t looks like a live
ly contest and a rough journey for the
Sox. Let's hope so, anyway.
Following is the official score of the
game yesterday
