MORNING GAME
Los Angeles ..............-.....
Sacramento ........... ......--...-..
ny A. f. DUNNING

Glass has begun to tell. 1t Is the old,
old story. After an early season slump
the Angels have begun to wind up for
the whirl through the middle weeks Of
the schedule, and yesterday rounded
the first lap of the fast closing race
between the four leaders of the Coast
league. With a double header victory
over the Senators Dillon's hopetulS
seated themselves securely in third
place we'll content with the results OF
the weeks play and ready to jump into
next weeks series with the Sacramento
tribe on the latters home grounds, eX-
pecting to climb higher.
In a stirring contest at Vernon yes
terday morning Graham's team tasted
defeat by a narrow margin and in the
afternoon at Chutes before one of the
largest Sunday crowds that has ever
streamed through the turnstiles the
champions administered coat of lime
to the visitors, goose-egging them all
the way and breezing in.
The morning game was a fast exhib-
ition, fairly well fielded, and featured
by homers by Beall and Doyle. In the
afternoon the two teams played the
fastest game ever seen at Chutes, fin
fishing the nine innings in record time.
From first to last the northerners
never seemed to have chance to win,
and the Angels might have added 80
their score had they cared to. The
haste of both teams to get through and
catch the Owl bound for Sacramento
made them play giveaway ball in the
last two innings.
Four Runs in First
A cleaner and better game than the
contest in the setting sun has not been
seen this year. With the exception of
90 al t4ylo tIa
men of Dillon's batting line found Fitz-
gerald for five hits. three of which
were doubles, scoring four runs, the
play was run off with dispatch and ac-
curacy. The Angels played errorless
ball, and Paymer made the only mis-
take for the Senators. Spider Baum re-
lieved Fitzgerald when the latter had
gone completely to pieces in the first.
In fact, the youngster never got start
ed, for Daley, the first man up for the
Angels, snapped out a double, and the
hits poured in on the unfortunate
slabster offered up by Graham to the
Inercies of the champion batters of the
league.
Baum was effective throughout with
the exception of the second inning,
in which he had to take time to warm
up, and in doing so contributed three
hits and a run to the locals score
sheet. Little Briswalter, the youngest
pitcher in the league. held the Capital
boys down to eight hits, which were so
well separated that they did no dam
age. Five doubles, four of them made
by the locals, added spice to the en-
tertainment.
Fitzgerald warmed up in businesslike
fashion before the game, but he had
no chance to retrieve himself once
things started AS soon as McGreevy
made the announcements of the bat
teries, swept the plate and called play
ball." the cannonading began, and the
visitor was driven out of the box in
a wild batting orgy. Daley banged out
a double to left, Goodwin singled holly
infield, Beall came up and with the
encouragement of a storm of cheers
swatted the sphere for another double,
scoring Daley. Smith doubled over cen
ter, scoring Goodwin and Beall and
Cap Dillon struck out. Orendorff died
before reaching first and Briswalter
singled over first, scoring Smith. Daley
ended the carnage by fouling out to
Graham.
Angels Add Another
Not content with this feat the An
gels added another run in the third
inning, just to show that they had
something up their sleeves. This was
all, and the eiphers stretched across
the score board until the finish. Not
man reached third for Sacramento
throughout the game. and only four
of the northerners got to second. This
OF itself shows how completely at the
mercy of the champions were the for
mer outlaws The fab11atAd
