AS far as the aggregation tied to
Bill Reidy's uniform was concerned,
the score yesterday at Chutes park
might just as well have been 20 to
instead of one-fourth that figure.
Pitcher Framed Hosp, the genial lit
tie Dutchman with the speedy ball
and the smile, early placed the Fog
Belters among the also-rans and from
the first pitched ball until the last
out, the Oaklanders spent the most OF
their time trying to discover from what
direction Franz was shooting his
curves. The remainder of the game
they passed in an endeavor to find the
ball when the champions cracked 1t
into outfeld, or popped easy little hits
into infield and touched first bag safe
ly with monotonous regularity.
One little scratch single by the Com
muters off Hosp, and only two men
walked Framed is now entitled to
step up into the lead of the class, Tor
yesterday he demonstrated that which
has been contended many times this
season by his admirers and at which
others have been foolish enough to be
amused-his ability to give a couple
of hits to almost any other pitcher in
the Coast league and beat them to 1t,
when he is right. The kind of delivery
that Hosp offered before the eager
northerners was most unsatisfytng-to
the losers. That now-famous grin, the
trusty right arm and the quick pow
erful throw to the plate constituted
guessing match for the visiting play
ers, and they kept up the trials
throughout. Cameron really deserved
a credit mark for getting hit Off the
Flying Dutchman. 1t came IN the
fourth when he advanced Van Haltren
to second with a liner in just the spot
calculated to give him long black
mark on the score sheet.
Bill Reidy drew cuts to select the
days victim for the Angels and Ton
neson secured the fatal slip. He went
into the game like a lamb offered up
to slaughter, but stuck it out, al
though he was walloped good and
plenty and also made two bad slips
in fielding. But had the Oakland
cheftain placed his best pitcher in the
box, it would have made no difference
yesterday. Dillons men played like
champions all the way, and you can't
beat overwhelming class.
billions Tip Toppers
Sometime in the cleaning of a mid
summer evening when milady is out
and a comfortable pipe induces some
fan to give himself up to little medi-
tation, it may dawn on an Angel
bleacherite that Dillon has a team of
real tip top caliber and that he de-
serves the first inning and last inning
support of every strong-lunged en-
thusiast When the happy moment
comes let's hope that he will arise and
spread forth the glad tidings.
The reason for this hope was plain
Yesterday Though the Angels were
winning all the time. it was an Oakland
crowd. That might do for this one
game, for every tender-hearted
creature under the sun has sympathy

had to hoe their way to victory fire.
quently through the cheers for oppos-
ing teams. Perhaps the fans are
afraid that too much praise might
turn the heads of the banner bearers,
but it might do to try it.
Now as to the historical feature of
the shutout. There were only three
innings to the game, so far as the
recording of striking incidents goes.
The first two periods netted the
Champs four runs; the sixth saw an
other one brought in, and there you
have it in a nut shell.
Daley and Beall were walked by
Tonneson in the first, and Howard hit
to Murphy, the two runners scoring.
Smith singled to center, scoring How
ard, and then it fizzled cut.
Good Work Continues

a single and Goodwin hit a little
bounder in front of the plate which
Tonneson ran down to gather in, but
allowed to roll along toward the out
field, Hosp crossing the plate. God

filling the bases, whereupon 1t looked
like an avalanche, but Howard struck
out and Smith made the third out by
a grounder to McCay.
Both teams eased up until the sixth,
and then Goodwin scored Orendorff on
timely singles and good base running.
That the locals were fielding well and
gave their pitcher good support was
shown by the score sheet, which shows
that only one Oaklander, the redoubt-
able Van Haltren, reached third, only
one reached second and four made
first, two Of these on passes by Hosp.
