ANDY Briswalter spoiled eredltapie
performance by easing up in the last
neriod with the Vernons at bat, allow
ing three singles, which brought in two
runs and gave the game to the young
STEERS from the said lots. Up to the
ninth inning it was as classy an ar

ana every base and an extra inning
contest looming up in the distance:
Rnt the Vernon heavy hitters tound
Rriswalter at the fatal moment, ana
ca the Hans must be credited with Two
victories out of three games played Oh
the weeks series.
If the Hoganites had played up .
their present form when the scans lIles
them last week the results might nave
been decidedly different Mohler would
not have carried away six of the seven
games. and would have had battle on
for every score. Therein the youngsters
show themselves in-and-outers, but at
nresent they are playing sufficiently
GOOD ball to make Uncle Frank Dillon S
band take an extra hitch on ther
trouser bands.
There were all kinds of thrills and
considerable grabbing to garnish the
solid part of the contest. A couple OF
good catches. enough long hitting to
make the stick end interesting and sew
eral disputes between the players kept
the bleachers busy catching up with
the game. Hogan starred in squapbie
with the Los Angeles players, and
when they aroused his ire by sharp re-
forts from their bench he insisted that
President Berry of the Angels be Or
dered off the grounds, although Berry
had spoken not word. He was hned

the plate.
Daley Gets Two Doubles
Daley started the bleacherites on
their noisy but welcomed way in the
first inning by banging the first ball
pitched by Coy, who went in for Ho-
gan for a double, but failed to get
home when the other batsmen found
Gov a puzzle. In the second inning for
Vernon the run getting began. Caffyn.
"the home run kid" hit a single to
center and went to third when Delmas
allowed Eagan's liner to go through
him. Mott was thrown out at first on
an infield drive, and Caffyn scored on
the play when on Towards throw to
first the ball struck Eagan, who was
running the base, and bounced into
outfield.
In the next time at bat the Angels
made it one all, Daley hitting out his
second double of the game, Goodwin
repeating just inside first base line,
scoring Daley. At this juncture Hogan,
highly excited by the tieing of the
score, demanded that Berry leave the
bench, and the crowd hooted Hogan
for his action as the Angel leader
walked off the diamond.
For four innings the score board re-
manned clean, and although in three of
these the Angels retired after touching
Coy for a hit, they could not get past
third. Then Los Angeles woke up in
the eighth and Beal singled neatly 20
left, Howard sent the ball to right and
Wheeler beat out an infield hit, filling
Delmas' long sacrifice fly to Caffyn,
Howard retiring the side a moment
later by being caught at the plate on a
throw by Eagan to Hogan.
1t looked fine for the Angels, and
there seemed to be nothing more to say
or do except to put out the three last
Vernon hitters and ring down the cur
tain. But the three Vernon hitters had
something to say about this, and then
others followed. Martinke singled to
center, Eagan singled to right and
when Beall let the ball go through him
Martinke went to third. Mott here
pulled the game to the Hoganites by
hammering out a long single, on which
Martinke and Eagan scored. Coy flew
TO Delmas, closing the game. The tab
ulated score;
