After battling strenuously for eleven
innings In Thursdays hot session, the
Angels and the Vernonites came right
back with another OF those extra in
ming scrambled affairs yesterday at
Chutes park. 1t was one of the weird
est baseball games the champions and
the Subarbanites have either together
or with other teams exhibited on the
local grounds this season. After see-
saving back and forth for eleven in
nings, three singles, betwixt which was
saHidwiched a sacrifice, brought in the
winning tally fc7 the Angel brigade,
but the fans saw a pretty battle be-
fore the end came, and again the game
cut into the fans dinner hour, though
they minded not a bit
In the last two days there has been
sufficient of the sensational to pack
circus for a weeks performances. Um-
pire McGreeyy found it necessary to
sprinkle a few fines around in Thurs
days game, and when Bertram Del
mas conceived II his duty to emit
howl over a decision at second in the
game yesterday. McGreevys long tried
patience burst it's bounds and he soaked
the little shortstop a ten spot, and
tossed him on the bench for pert re-
marks. However, Bert can easily be
forgiven for this offense, for he merely
marks and, having said his little
speech, closed up like a clam. Del sell
dom hollers; in fact, it is not within
memory that he has been in trouble
with an umpire for a year.
Score Tied often
That score was tied so often and
then distanced by one length that the
fans really lost track and had to watch
the score board to find out how the
teams stood. One dinky run came in at
q time, and when they were all through
there wasn't an awful lot to look at, at
that. Again, as in Thursdays play,
punched hits proved the salvation of
the champions and the downfall of
Pitcher Breckenridge of Vernon De-
spite that, the Vernonites kept at the
Dillon crew with such dogged persist
ence that they finally forced Dillon to |
replace Koestner with Nagle In the
eighth, they could never hit when on
bases, and, as has happened times with
out number previously this season, this t
was what lost them the game. Koest |
ner allowed only five hits in the eight |
innings he lasted, and these were scat |
tered into as many innings. But he
walked eight men, hit another with q
pitched ball, and was accountable for a |
wild pitch. Evidently his arm is not |
yet right.
Sensations Numerous
It would take Swiss Family Robin
son narrative to tell the detailed his
tory of the runs of the game. Each
inning was bound to bring some kind
of sensation, and 1t will be left to the |
Imagination of the fans what happened |
in the way of fielding and batting. /
Those who weren't there really don't |
deserve to find out unless some good |
reason can be brought up and those |
Il - I,
maze of plays and misplays something |
of the manner in which things drifted
along through two hours and fifteen
minutes.
Vernon scored first, when stovall
scooted over on a "hit by pitcher"
single by Bernie Bernard, and Eagan's
infield hit. The Angels came right
back in the second, Smith scoring when
Coy let Howard's single go through
to the right field fence.
Eleventh Is Final
Thereafter the battle waged back
and forth, sometimes the advantage
lying with the Vernonites and again
shifting to the Champs. Three times
the tallies were tied, and both Hap and
DILLON threw up their hands when
Vernon batted in the run which finally
made it three all in the ninth. In the
tenth both teams were given round
goose eggs in hitting and scoring. In
the eleventh the Champions assumed
control of matters again, and on
Georde Wheeler's single infield. Smiths
sacrifice and Howard's single, Whee-
Ter was showed to third. With one out,
1t looked like a sure score. Orendorff
pounded out right field hit which
brought Wheeler over the pan. The
Hoganites could not get near first
base, Bernard popping the side out to
Daley. The results:
