Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-16


the morning and was relieved by
Thorsen in the fourth inning after the
Seals had found the youngster for five
hits, and these, coupled with a series
Of rank errors behind, had allowed
seven runs to come in.
In the afternoon Nagle and Brown
ing, the rivals who pitched that
famous nineteen inning game in San
Francisco, were placed in the box
Nagle outpitched the northern and
broke his heart by stopping that win
ming record, cutting off the startling
work of Browning at sixteen straight
victories. For eight innings, playing
breathless baseball, hitting but sparse
ly and at a one-at-an- inning gait, the
two teams played each other to a
standstill, and it was only hard rally
in the ninth that won for the Angels.
DeImas and orendorff Get Credit
Delmas and Orendorff must be given
credit for the squeeze-in. With two
men out and both pitchers buckling up
for an extra-inning struggle, Delmas
skinned a burner over third base line.
He was followed by Orendorff, who
had already made one double. The Los
Angeles catcher took a strike, a foul
and a ball, then just swung his bat
up easily with an underhand stroke
which looked like nothing more than
harmless attempt to excuse a strike.
A groan started up from the bleachers,
but it turned quickly to a wild cheer
ing pandemonium of joy, when the
bat connected the ball sped to far
center field and the game broke up as
Delmas shot across the plate.
Every man on both teams was kept
up to his best playing form In the
second session. That tremendous i'm
petus to a fast contest-a big, hearty
and cheerful crowd-sent the men into
the diamond a-tip-toe, and for eight
innings the grandest exhibition of shut
out ball of the series was given. In
the first inning the Angels seemed sure
of a run three men crowding the
scoring stations with only one gone.
But Howard went out for bunting the
third strike and Smith died by way of
the Mohler-Williams route, shutting OF
a score. Orendorff reached third in
the second on his hard double, but was
compelled to stay there. Then until
the extra period loomed up in the fore
ground there ensued a succession Of
fast assists and putouts, a long grind
of beautiful twirling on the part of
both Browning and Nagle, and several
brilliant catches that kept the crowd
outstanding, though minute after min
ute rolled by with a succession OF
ciphers showing on the score board.
NaaIe Improves All Along
As the game proceeded, Walter
Nagle grew better and better. He
made his last appearance in the box
a worthy one shooting over such puz-
zlers that all three batters were easy
outs. Then the Angels came up for
final try, and the gathering arose and
cheered for a winning run. Howard
fouled out to Berry and Smith went
out by the Zeider-Williams path. Del
mas came to bat with the crowd edg-
ing toward the entrances, hoping for
a decisive result. but in reality ex-
Meeting the game to march onward into
the eXtra-inning division. But Bert
was laying for a good ball, and when
he got it he walloped along third, the
ball sending a shower OF chalk dust
into the air as it rolled along the base
line Del reached second on the hit
and then OTendorf walked to the
plate. His double has been related
heretofore in this narrative, and the
results as well.
In the morning play the Seals had
a clean lead all the way, scoring three
runs in the first to two for the Angels
and taking a big squirt in the fourth,
Error after error piled up, starting
with a tumble of an easy one by Ross
in the first inning, and when the totals
were cast up it was found that ten
mistakes had been MADE by lne lotdl9'
OF course there can be but one end
ing to such an affair, especially when
the opposing team, plays err erfoTlesS Tist
ban. Henley was hit freely, but kept
the swats sufficiently we'll divided TO
do little harm. The northern pitcher
got a home run, and Bodie, the seal
left fielder got another, which, with
few sensational fielding bits by the
visitors, constituted the featuresome
portion of the play. The tabulated
score.
