Owing to the bluffing tactics of that
bum sport, the weather man, many a
good, loyal fan chose the comforts OF
the home fireside yesterday to the
loIeacher uncertainty. Again the old
nroverb. ITS an i'll wind that blows
no good" proved true, as these uncer-
tain atmospheric conditions saved the
Angels the humiliation of having more
of their devoted admirers witness their
last and poorest attempt to best the
fasteners. The Nationals, with
mighty Walter Johnson in the boH,
gave them a terrific beating, and the
run column at the close OF the game
totaled to l.
Walter Johnson proved himself to
be rated correctly when he is referred
to as one of the greatest pitchers IN
the American league. His nlnglng III
Yesterdays game was of the gilt-edge
order, and at that, owing to the one
sided condition of the game, he did
not let out all the kinks. Snodgrass'
working on the receiving end of the
battery. handled Johnson's offerings
perfectly.
First Frame Good
The first inning was snappy through
out, the All-Stars being retired in the
one two, three order. The Angels
Daley reached first on a hit and was
advanced to second by a sacrifice bunt
by Goodwin. Ross flew out, but Daley
managed to reach the third sack. Here
was Bealls opportunity to show MS
metal but he ingloriously failed-tak-
ing three desperate sWats at the horse-
hide. From this inning until the sew
enth, when they made their lone run,
the Angels did not have a ghost of
To 10
The Nationals opened the second
with vengeance. Snodgrass, first up,
got on, and Konetchy hit a hot one
to Smith, advancing Snodgrass, and
Lennox brought them both in with
ripping two-sacker. Hummel hit a
fast one to center and Lennox scored.
Johnson and Doyle both flew out.
The easterners, not satisfied with
hammering Koestner for three safe
ones in this inning, duplicated the feat
in the following, which, assisted by
several bootlngs and jugglings, re-
suited in one more run than they made
in the second inning. Snodgrass was
the wielder of the big stick this time
and hit a beauty on the nose 10 CEN
ter for two sacks, scoring Eagan, but
is himself put out when Kouetchy hits
a ground ball to Smith at third. Snod-
grass showed good head work in this
Dlay when he held the attention of
Smith and Wheeler until Konetchy had
reached second when he allowed him
self to be tagged. Lennox received
free transportation to the initial sack,
and Hummel, following, scored both.
Smiths Lone Score
The Stars, persistent in their liking
for Koestners offerings, hammered in
another in the fifth and one in the
sixth. But when the seventh opened
the Angels went after Johnson with
some of their old time vim. Smith
opened with a Texas Lacquer to center
and Delmas slipped a hit over second
which Doyle just managed to touch
Orendorf flew out to LennoX and
Koestner also rolled one Lennox's way
which resulted in Delmas being forced
out at second and Daley being handed
four wide ones filled the bases. At
this juncture the fans began to sit up
and take notice, and when Goodwin
hit a clean one to the right garden
the first ripple of real enthusiasm
passed over the spectators. Smith
scored, but Koestner was thrown out
at the plate by Ellis.
During the eighth and ninth the An
gels showed more of their old form
and neither side was dangerous at any
stage.
