and His Mates Land on Two
Southerners for Sixteen
Effective Hits
COAST LEAGUE STANDING

Sacramento, s; Los Angeles,
Charlie Grahams hitless wonders
came to life again yesterday, struck a
semi-annual batting streak, pounded
the two Angel pitchers at will, and this
about tells the story of the third game
of the series. From the first to the
last inning the gama was marked by
sluggish playing the change in weather
seeming to have an enervating effect
on the players. Usually a cool snap
puts ginger into a team. Yesterday 1t
had the effect of the first hot day of the
spring, for the Dillonites loafed all the
way. Sample: After each inning Arue
Ross retired from his place at right
field to a cozy corner in the vicinity OF
the far infield, only coming in when he
had to go to bat. Gingeless, and un-
able to solve Spider Baum's puzzles,
the locals were on the short end from
the beginning.
Baum must have received good news
from home, or perhaps it was pay day
in the Coast league yesterday. What
ever the cause, he produced his tull
repertoire and the collection was so
good that he had the locals chopping
away all the long afternoon, The big
fellow struck out nine men, was so
tight with passes that not an Angel
colud maneuVer to gain a base on balls,
and rounded out the day by getting a
nice single himself. Baum has beau
tiful curve that worried the Berry
brigade, which accounts for his easy
victory and the few hits.
Hatch and Thorsen Victims
Sixteen hits by the Riversiders are
eloquent. Busher Hatch worked for
three innings and part of the fourth,
allowing seven hits and four runs
After he had been hit for two singles in
the fourth, Thorsen took his place and
pulled out of a bad hole, but later
proved even easier than the youngster
The seventh was his most fatal period,
in, which five hits brought four runs
oTer.
FIannigan's double to center, his ad
vancement on a sacrifice, and Gra-
hams double to left, brought over the
first run, in the second inning. In the
third the Grahamites took a big lead,
scoring three runs as follows: Shinn
walked and was sacrificed along by
Darringer. The little shortstop reached
third when a balk was called on
Hatch, and scored on Myers single in
field Then the lengthy Senators first
baseman gave an exhibition of base
running that took all the spirit out of
lthe locals for the remainder Of the
game. He stole second, third and
home, without giving Hatch time to
get nervous. Flanagan singled to
center, reaching second on Daley's
boot, and scored on Doyle's out.
Angels Get One
Los Angeles got back one run in
their half of the same inning, when
with two out, Daley singled to CEN
ter, stole second, went to third on
passed ball, and scored on Godwin's
single. They also got another in the
seventh, but not until after the visi-
tors had given Thorsen a four-run
beating in that frame. However, we
will relate the tale of that one run
and then plunge sadly into the narra-
tive of the ascension in the first half.
A single by Delmas, a double play by
Hughie Smith, and a long sacrifice fly
by Daley brought Delmas over for the
Angels. That was all the scoring the
Dillonites did.
Thorsen was working nicely up to
the seventh, and the locals still had
possible chance. But after that the
crowd waited until the end, as mat
ter of politeness. Darringer, first up
in the seventh, singled hard to left.
Myers banged the ball to center for
a triple, bringing Darringer across
with a block to spare. Gandll went
out, Wheeler to Beall, and Flanagan
got in the way of a swift ball, and was
allowed to amble. Demon Doyle was
next up, and he slipped one over on
the outfelders, doubling to center,
scoring Doyle for the fourth run, and
when he tried to stretch his hit to
third base, the Sacramento captain
was caught on the THROWN. LaLonge
singled. getting the sixth hit of the
inning. but Baum forced him, putting
out the side. The eighth and ninth
were luIls. after the storm, and the
game ended peacefully. The score:
