LOS Angeles z, Oakland III lnnln9S)
After fighting the Angels to a stand
still for ten and half innings, the
Oakland team lost the opening game of
the series to the Champions yesterday
afternoon at Vernon field errors on
the part of the Baysiders bringing in
the run which won the game. 1t took
eleven innings to decide the contest,
and the play could hardly be said to
have been fast or sensational Seven
errors between the two teams spoiled
any chance of a repetition of the spec
tacular and cleanly played struggles
such as were dished up when the san
Francisco men played here, but high
class pitching by Bill Tozer saved the
day.
AS happened in that final furious
finish with the Seals it was clever lit
tie Tom Daley, the Angel outfielder,
who was the direct cause of the Angel
victory. This makes his second sue
cessive accomplishment of this sort,
which is a mighty rare thing for any
but a pitcher. Also, it happened that
Orendorff, who saved the day in the
Saturday game for the Angels, had al
most as much to do with the defeat of
the Commuters since it was his triple
in the ninth, coupled with Goodwin S
hit to lansing that brought in the
score which tied matters up, and per
mitted the contest to lengthen out to
the above named satisfactory finale.
Daley Scoots In
With two out in the eleventh, Daley
was passed by Pitcher Tonneson, who
here showed signs of weakening after
delivering in good form. Peter
started to steal, and it looked like a
closed up inning for Jimmy Byrnes

the ball in the collision at the second
station and the sphere bounced into
center field DaleV scooting to third like
a deer He arrived safely, and having
his weather eye out, won the game in
the next moment. Kelly, the Oaks new
center fielder returned the ball to Ton
neson, and the latter juggled 1t While
the Angel runner was rounding the
third bag. Continuing his journey,
Daley landed on the home plate with
a good margin to spare bringing in the
deciding run without the aid of hit,
and so quickly that before the fans
could gasp, the result had turned In
favor of the Champs
Though the Oaklanders have strength
ened their lineup materially by the
recent changes, the Angels appeared to
have a sure thing victory, although
crippled by the loss of their leader,
Cantain Dillon. T. Wheeler handled
first and captained as during the last
four games. The Angels started or

Daley's walk, his advancement to sec
