Koestner was evidently staggered
by the formidable lineup which the
National all-stars presented yesterday
afternoon when they faced the Angels
in the first contest of a fve-game
series. By slamming out hit after hit
In the first and third innings the Wis
itors took a lead of ten runs over the
local aggregation. After that the play
became much less strenuous and al
though fierce batting rally gave Los
Angeles five tallies in the fifth inning
the big lead taken in the early part OF
the game was never threatened.
The bleachers were well packed to
see players whose faces were once
familiar on local diamonds again play
ing before Los Angeles fandom and
with big league company. Walter
Johnson, the mighty pitcher of the
Washington Americans and the pride
of the Jbig eastern league, went in the
box for the winners. Snodgrass
former Angel player. and Rube Ellis,
another local boy, also were given an
enthusiastic reception as they stepped
to the plate. Snodgrass received john
sons delivery while Ellis officiated in
the left garden.
First Frame Fatal
Bricker of the Mccormick baseball
team of the California Midwinter
league relieved Jud Smith at third
base for the Angels, Jud being shifted
to right field. Bricker played a fast
and heady game at his position, al
though a trifle weak with the stick.
1t was the first inning which really
settled the Angels. Four punched hits
took the All Stars away to three
run lead. Egan started something
when he singled to center. Rube Ellis,
next at bat, responded to an enthu-
siastic greeting from the bleachers by
lining a pretty safety over Wheeler's
head and Mitchell found room for an
other which he dropped in the left
garden. Egan trotted home when
Konetchy sacrificed and Ellis and
Mitchell scored on neat safety to left
off Lennox's bat. All remained quiet
until the third, although Johnson
showed his appreciation of the hand
given him by lining out a single in
the second.
1t was the third inning which found
the Seraphs hopelessly upon the to-
boggan and gave the remainder of the
contest an aspect of listlessness.
Ellis appeared at the plate for the
second time and connected with his
second single, topping off the perform,
ance by stealing second. Mitchell
dropped a skyrocket in Daley,s mitt
cracked the stick with a hard liner
which scored Rube and which Ross
failed to hold, Konetchy taking third.
Hummel singled, scoring Konetchy-
Snodgrass and Egan following suit.
Angels Take Tifth
Whether the All Stars took in a rap
or whether ii was simply that the
Seraphs made up their minds to givo
the crack fasteners a wee bit of a
scare no one knows. Suffice that three
punched bingles secured from the
mighty Johnson, together with cou-
pie of wild throws. gave the locals
five tallies in the fifth. Great was tho
applause at the tap of the gong. The
remainder of the game. while replete
with many a brilliant play, lacked the
snap and vigor which characterizes a
real championship contest. Neither
team secured another hit, side after
side going out in order. Delmas played
as though a big Lacquer himself, MAX
ing one beautiful stop of Egans liner'
catching Bliss at second and doubling
the All-Star shortstop at first. De-
tailed results:
