Drop to Third
Position

Ten and eleven inning games are no
longer the exception but the rule at
Chutes park and just as Tuesdays con-
test exceeded the regulation number of
innings, so did Wednesdays game en-
tertain the fair sized crowd of fans who
journeyed to the old battle field, with
an extra session by way of good mea-
sure. But if Tuesdays exhibition was
marked by errors and mediocre play
ing, Wednesdays was quite the reverse,
both mines playing fast and almost
errorless ball although Oakland turned
the tables, tallying three men in the
tenth inning.
With a score of 2 to- 2 in the last
half of the ninth inning, the Baysiders
rallied and lined out two timely hits,
breezing away from the Angels, 3 runs
to the good. Howard a new player
whom Dillon is trying out on the voley-
ing end of the battery twirled good
ball, allowing but 4 hits up to the first
of the ninth. Wheeler again held down
the initial sack in errorless form for
the local players.
Oaks Tally Early in Game
Several changes were necessitated in
the Oaks lineup, owing to the fact that
lansing was out of the game on ac-
COuIll Oh lllIlGSS. Aslll IL licilNCii NeAS SSllN
to second base while MCKune ably COW
cred short.
Oakland's players made their runs in
the first and last innings of the game.
The ball was started rolling by the
northern artists in the first inning
when Christian and Hogan walked the
former player making second on Lew
is pretty sacrifice. Cameron hoisted
neat two Dagger into the Angels right
field, scoring Christian and putting Ho-
gan on third,
Kellys sacrifice scored Hogan and
McKune was retired, Smith to Wheeler.
The next four innings were marked by
a series of brilliant and spectacular
plays but not q run were the Angels
able to squeeze over the plate until the
latter half of the fifth when Beall
slammed a single into the center gar
den. chalking up the first hit for Los
Angeles. Howard famed, but Beall,
by a brilliant exhibition of base run
ming, managed to purloin base No 2
and was advanced TO third when
Smith went out McKune to Cameron.
Delmas, who followed smith to the
plate, registered the second hit for the
Seraphs when he singled to right field,
scoring Beall.
Angels Tie Score In Ninth
Fighting against fate, Captain Dill
Ions band rallied again in the fatal
ninth and scored the run which tied
the score when Johnny Beall raped
out his second hit of the contest, |
scored from Boice, of Oakland, who re-
lieved Nelson in the box.
Dillon changed his batting order In
the ninth and II. Smith, handling the
stick for R. Howard, was handed four
balls. Ross, who ran for Smith, was
sacrificed to second by Daley, Hogan
to Christian. Goodwin Strengthened out
one of Boices twisters, the latter
pitcher having been sent into the box
for Oakland, taking second on the
throw in and sending Ross another lap
toward the coveted goal. Wheeler
lined a hot one to Cameron, who
whipped the ball home, mailing Ross
at the plate, and sending Goodwin to
the station vacated by Ross. Wheeler !
stole second and on Bealls timely sin
gle Goodwin scored, but Wheeler was
caught at home, Kelly to Byrues.
Tenth Fatal for Seraphs
The Oakland players seeing the long
end of the score at one time almost
within their grasp, about to be wrested
from them, began a batting rally in
the tenth inning and scored three runs |
Boice was hit by a pitched ball and |
Christian the second northern player
to pick up a bat in the fatal inning, |
drove to Thorsen who threw wild to
first base, sending Boice totsecond |
and giving Christian one lap of his |
journey Lewis, not content with
knocking two base hit earlier in the
contest. swatted out a three Dagger |
scoring Boice and Christian. Hogan !
fouled to Smith. Cameron singled to |
the center garden, scoring Lewis
The Angels were unsuccessful in |
their attempt to tie the score, scoring |
not another man.
Dllon's Men Now Third
President Berrys Angels have again |
dropped to third place in the percent |
age column, for by defeating the Seals, |
Hardness raised his team into second |
place, with the Mohlerites still In the |
van. The Portland bunch is leading !
the Seraphs, however, by but a small |
margin and should the Angels con- |
tinue with the brand of ball which they |
displayed yesterday there is no reason |
why Captain Dillon's boys should |
gather the short end Of the course.
