Los Angeles, s; Vernon, o
Our esteemed fellow citizen and near
fellow townsman, Walter Nagle of Ri
vera. soundly thrashed the Hoganites
in the third game of the series yester-
day, delivering that puzzling species of
twirling that will give any team in the
world a beating provided the pitcher is
we'll supported. When a coast league,
or even a major league twirler, takes
control of a situation and hands over
three little singles, one of them ver-
liable scratch hit, to his opponents,
and is aided and abetted by first-class
support at the hands of his mates 1t
is not necessary to look to the score
record to tell which way the victory
went. Nagle won the game on his su
perb control and his steadfast, grind
ing, mechanical playing. To further
advance his cause he made a good
record at the plate, securing double
and a single out of three times at bat.
Aside from the championship spec
tacle which Nagle gave to the fans,
the game yesterday was characterized
by fast fielding, a plenitude of hitting
on the part of the Dillonites and slow
base-running by the Haps. A good,
live advance agent carrying fine line
of steel springs would earn the eternal
gratitude of the inhabitants of Vernon
should he induce Hogan to purchase
about nine or ten of them for use daily
at Chutes. Wagon springs of home
made steel are the stuff, and they
should be extra springy. Attach one
to the travelling members of each Yer
nd fph
not satisfactory, Hap should make ar
rangements to get his money back, but
a trial is as much as most any good or
bad inventor who is honest and has
faith in his production demands.
Hogan's Shooting Star
Big Chief Hogan placed his star
pitcher in the box yesterday, figuring
that it was time to break up the win
ming spell of the Angels. Whether 1t
was the presence of the Cleveland
American league scout, Jim Mcguire,
who sat in the presidents stand dur
ing the game and sized up the players
in his quiet way, or lack of recovery
of good spirits following his recent i'll
health, Schafer was ineffective and the
hits for the Angels came in punches.
Perhaps the true cause of the trouble
was the fact that the eleven-inning
game of the day before had aroused
the title bearers to the fact that they
were in battle to the finish, and thus
led to a series of long and hard swats
that won the game.
No matter the reason, the Angels
made it three straight, and today the
mourning signs are prominently dis
played among the Vernon faithful.
There are just three innings to the
game. That is, there were only three
sY1or n a
results. These were the sixth, seventh
and eighth. For the first time in many
a week the fans saw Schafer pounded
literally all over the lot and then
saw him taken out of the game in the
sixth and replaced by Coy, Hogan
sending Kinkel out in his place. This
was a fearful catastrophe for the Yer
nonites, for the star box man is sup
posed to be exempt from such cruel
thrusts just as the big special reporter
is popularity looked upon as a free
lance, though in the privacy of the Of
flee he takes many an humble assign
ment.
Schafer's off Day
Schafer's tumble of an easy bunt
along first base line started the fire
works in the sixth. Five swift periods
had come and gone with neither team
showing up the other, when Ross
landed safe on first bag on the vernon
pitchers boot. Dillon sacrificed the
runner to second, and then Johnny
Beall came along with a beautiful and
we'll placed double to center field fence,
scoring Ross. Wheeler's out and Del
mas single scored Beal, and by this
time Hap was tearing his hair. In the
seventh Walter Nagle put a double
cinch on hiskown game by banging out
the second tWo-bagger, scoring on sim
giles by Dillon and Beall
In the eighth, just for luck, the
Champs added two more to their rec
ord when Orendorff and Nagle scored
when Ross hit hot bounder to Gra-
ham, who allowed the ball to slip from
him. and when it shot out toward the
left field bleachers the two runners got
home while Kinkel was busy chasing
the elusive leather.
AS far as fielding feats go, the sea-
son has failed to produce more
clever catch than that made by Center
Fielder Daley, who ran backward on
Eagan's long fly in the eighth away
out toward the center fence, saw the
ball shooting over his head, gathered
himself for a leap into the air, swung
his gloves aIoft and came down with
the ball in his left hand-a truly mar
velous performance. Following is the
tabulated tale:
