Charlie Graham's speedy Senators bid
good by to the Angels fans in two
rafting exhibitions of the national
game yesterday. They had no oppor-
tunity to crow over the days work, Tor
the Angels played them to standstul
in a free hitting game in the morning
at Vernon and won from them in a
furious ninth-inning bombardment in
the afternoon. Therefore the River
siders. after getting a nice lead in the
series by an early winning streak were
sent away all knotted up. The games
score for the week stands three-all,
with one game tie.
We can't help but say a few nice
things about Grahams team just after
their departure from the southern bat
tlefield for the last time in the season
of 1909 Graham, himself a gentlemanly,
clean, earnest and hard working player,
has gathered around him a bunch
which shows equally painstaking effort,
plays hard and clean cut ball and is
worthy of such a leader. The Senators
have played good baseball this year.
They have played consistently, ana
when Graham gets through his
strengthening process which will follow
the close of the season he Will present
a team which will be heard froms not
loudly, but with effect, in next seasons S
pennant race.
The first two innings featured the
opening of the days contest at the
suburban field. In that time the An
gels pounded Whalen out of the box
and the northerners gave Koestner a
fearful lacing. When the smoke had
cleared away at the end of the second
inning the score stod to in favor of
the Angels. Koestner had been showed
under with six hits, scoring four runs
in the first and two in the second.
Whalen had been treated to similar
dose, five runs going over in the first
off three hits and two more tallies be-
ing added in the second off three more
hits At that time Graham pulled out
Whalen and substituted Fitzgerald.
For the remainder of the game both
pitchers were steady, though the Angels
got another in the sixth, and the north
erners tied them up by scoring in the
sixth and seventh. Then matters pro-
ceeded into the tenth, and the game
was called in the eleventh at tie, the
time limit having expired.
Nage at Helm
The scoring features of the afternoon
were few and far between. Walter
Nagle was the helm for the Angel crew
and started the battered old champion
ship so true to the course that after
the first inning the northerners never
had a chance to get near a score.
Spider Baum worked in beautiful form
up to the final inning. He had almost
everything he possessed Friday, and
until the last spasm it looked as though
the Senators would bear away with
them the honors of the final meeting of
the year. But just when the Chutes
park gathering had begun to give up
and had crowded toward the exits the
local hitters awoke and hammered out
a belated victory.
The only score made by the north
erners came in the first inning. Dar-
ringer, the diminutiVe but snappy lit
tie third baseman lately added to the
northern line, was the monipulator
thereof. He lined a nice hit to center
field which should have been a double.
Ross who was playing the position,
gave an exhibition of frozen swiftness
in getting after the hit, and let it
go by him. Darringer reached second
on this misplay and started to third
as Wolfe, a busher youngster, who
played right field for the locals, re-
trieved the ball and threw to Wheeler.
The latter sizzled the ball toward Jud
Smith, hoping to catch the runner, but
the throw was wild, and as the ball
rolled into toward the left field bleach
ers, Darringer crossed the plate.
After that Nagle spit on the ball,
and settled down, determined to allow
no mere chances of a misplay Only
four scattered hits were made off him
thereafter, and he would not permit
a walk throughout the game
In the ninth with the score 1 to
in favor of the northerners, and no one
out, Goodwin reached first when he was
hit by a pitched ball. Then came the
avalanche and after that everybody
went home happy. Ross singled to
right, advancing Goodwin, Beall re-
peated, filling the bases, and Wheeler
came through with another single
sacker scoring Goodwin. This tied the
score, but the fans had no time to
breathe before the game was won
Graham, playing right field, lost his
own game He allowed Wheelers hit
to get through him. and Ross ambled
home for the deciding score. The tab
ulated results:
