First Two Redhot Innings Give North

Fight, but Lose
BY A. E. DUNNINo

tcric details of massacre, II is popu-
larly supposed TO be the correct thlns
for the narrator to set heaVy Ioot on
the soft pedal, especially If 1t be near
and dear ones who are the victims.
Therefore this little tale of the tal OF
the Hogan stronghold before the herce
yolleying and cannonading of the men
from the north must be considered IN
a sad, subdued strain, albeit from very
force of circumstances it is Impossible
to withhold from the tale a little of the
fierce fighting spirit that was eVlncea
in the situation involved.
Happv Hogan's devoted crew went
down to defeat yesterday with colors
flying, but it was a fearful druoblng
the Senatorial aggregation delivered all
sealed and stamped to the Nernonltes'
The hired man who figures out tne
cfficial score finally discovered that It
stood Z to 4-not a runaway record,
though the game looked like wild
stampede most of the way.
Four pitchers and three catchers
used, total of % hits, IA OF Whlch
were earnered by the stiekers from the
capital city; a two-hour game, home
run, a triple and three doubles-here
were enough sensations for anybody
IT was an in-and-out game all the way,
and was characterized by clean base
ball. though the fighting finishing splr-
it of both leaders made 1t what mlght
be termed a "scrappy'' affair Not that
there was any wrangling. Graham IS
too good a diseiplinarian to permit
rows. But not a man on either team
loafed, and the $500 fans who swarmed
into the far field bleachers enjoyed the
contest thoroughly.
Northern Batters Busy
Leaving the ardent fans to stop and
figure out the why's and wherefores OF
the batting feast the tale may now
safely proceed with the minute por-
tions of the slaughter, picking the vic
tins out one by one. Roy Hit round
the way of the world a sad one yes
terday, for Sacramento had no mercy
on him The crowd was yet rustling
itself into the seats as the game
opened, when the Senators startled the
gathering by filling the outfield atmos-
phere with a series of long hits.
Shinn, the first man up, was put out
by the second TO first route on the sec
ond pitched ball. Hit grinned broadly
at Doyle, the second man. with the evil
dent meaning that he would give the
Sacramento batters a taste of high
class pitching. He rolled strengthen
ing morsel into the far left corner of
his cheek, took a long moment for the
wind-up and shot a straight, swift ball
toward Doyle. Then the lights of this
world were doused for Hit for the rest
of the game. Thereafter he had little
peace, and when it was all over he had
not even the consolation of saying he
stuck it out, for Schafer replaced hlm
in the second inning after Roy had re-
ceived a lambasting that will live long
in his memory. Doyle landed on that
ball for a stiff single to center, Flana-
gan came up and swatted the first de-
livery for a double, Doyle being caught
at the plate and then Gandil doubled,
r7fI~ 1..s1a 70
right, scoring Gandil, and Happy Ho-
gan began to gaze wildly around
searching for platoon of police to stop
that fearful battery work.
Vernon Comes Back
Vernon came back with one run in
their half. Stoval scoring on Doyle's
muff of his easy fly, Bernard's single
and the double play which Brashear
precipitated when he hit to Raymer.
lansing came up first for Sacramento
in the second, and Hit walked him. On
Kitty's error Byrnes reached first, and
lansing advanced. Shinn hit bounc-
ing Texas Lacquer over second, scoring
lansing, and the Sacramento catcher
went to third on the play. Doyle
singled to right, bringing Byrnes in,
and, with the game lost and matters
going from bad to worse, Hogan waved
his hand to Schafer and his one best
bet replaced the now downcast Hit.
Still More Runs
As far as a history of the important
result goes, this ends matters. OF
course there We're several more runs
made and more than several hits
Schafer managed to keep the Senators
from getting more than two singles in
one inning, and Vernon had a batting
rally in the fifth, when the locals made
three hits, and with the bases full once
and second and third occupied twice it
seemed as If a tie score might not be
a dim dream. But, as always happens
TO Vernon in such pinches, the vision
faded away to nothing, only one tally
coming over.
Looking over the sheet, Vernon
scored one run in the first, fourth, fifth
and seventh. Sacramento, after those
first two runaway innings, eased up,
but collected two more scalps from the
Hoganites
Gandil made the home run. The
lanlSy first baseman waited for one
which just suited his fancy in the fifth
and earned a new hat by shooting it
away out over the left field fence.
Jimmy Whalen lasted effectively for
seven and one-half innings. He seemed
then about to hold his own, but Gra-
ham didn't care to take any chances
and dropped him on to the bench, CIV
ing Buck Ehman the reins Ehman
never gave the suburbanites a smell at
a hit and all they got was one walk
off him. The tabulated results:
