Happy Hogan won MS lHlfu 81 aiSi ~
game from the champions yesterday
and there can be no dispute about fiuke
victories or errors swinging the game
to him. If ever team won three
straight contests on it's merits the
Hans surely have accomplished this
feat Plenty of spicy hitting at the
right moment showed the Vernon men
ahead after Los Angeles had opened
I'm with a two-run lead, and although
each team got a home run on long hits,
the Angeles having a shade the better
of it. there was little chance OF the Ho-
ganites losing after the Dig leau oD-
tanned in the sixth.
1t can hardly be said to be a ques-
ton of off days any more. Los Angeles
has slumped on it's playing and the
Vernon aggregation is putting up the
hest brand of ball 1t has delivered
this season. With these two points IN
view it is now necessary to explain the
third defeat of the champions. cap OIL
lon was sick and George Wheeler nan
died first bag for him, acting as nelu
captain.
Brilliant fielding of high class order
came in spots and streaks and the out
fielders did more work yesterday than
for many day. Pitcher Roy Hit came
into the box yesterday determined 20

In the wrangling miX-up of the day be-
fore. and 1t seemed as if the two teams
had had enough Of quarreling, for the
play was unusually peaceful OF course
Happy Hogan kept up running Ine
of comment on the bench, at the plate
and when acting behind the batters.
But the crowd and the umpire and the
other players have become accustomed
to Happy's gauntlet fire talk, and as

sometimes really welcome.
Two Home Runs
Beall and Martinke took away the
big hitting honors. The big Chicagoan
came back into form with his first home
run of several weeks in the first in
ming, incidentally scoring the only tai
lies made by the Angels.
Goodwin secured a close hit to center
when he followed Daley to the plate IN
the first inning. Beall waited for the
ball to hit the groove right where he
wanted it, and when Roy Hit obliging-
1y shot it over Beall swung on 1t with
all his brawny beef behind the club.
Winging far afield, the ball sped with
terrific force toward center fence, and
with a high bounder, repetition OF
Daley's hit the day before, it disap-
peared over the barrier, Goodwin and
Beall scoring.
For five innings thereafter the game
was punctured by a half dozen sensa-
tional catches and considerable hitting.
but the sides made their exchanges
without result. Koestner was a trifie
wild at moments and pulled himself
out of one or two rather close positions,
but the real fireworks came in the
sixth.
Stovall singled to center, and Bernie
Bernard followed instructions in sacri-
ficing him along. Brashear doubled to
the score board, the ball needing only a
little more muscle behind to complete
q circuit hit. AS it was, the hit was
long enough to bring Stovall in. Mar
tinke followed Kitty, and the little
Dutchman gripped the club tightly, set
himself solidly on the ground and
swung with all his might. The crack Of
the bat timed long, low drive to left
field, which started off like a double
but as it reached the far field bounded
high in the air and curved prettily
over the backstop. Brashear and Mar
tinke trotting home. This hit won the
game for the bushers, for thereafter
they were never headed.
Martlnke the Whole Show
Little Martinke carried away about
everything he could by making the star
fielding feature of the game In the
sixth inning. with Goodwin on second
Or. Judson c. Smith of the Angels
walked to the plate and deliberately
and with malice aforethought swiped
the ball away out toward left field, just
in the place he had measured with his
eye as he advanced for his trial.
1t looked like a sure thing for a
double to Smiths credit and at. least
two runs, but the Flying Dutchman
was yet to reckon with. With his
gloved left hand outstretched, running
low and easy, Martinke brought the
bleachers outstanding with hats, caps
and cushions tossing and waving In the
air when he neatly pulled In the ball
putting Smith and the side out by the
spectacular catch. Needless to say
Martinke knew he was in the game
and had done himself proud when he
reached the bench and received the
greeting of the gathering.
There was some excitement in the
eighth when Bernard was hit by a
pitched ball, Brashear was safe on u
short bunt toward third when Oren-
dorff waited for 1t to roll foul a play
which never came and Haley tried tC
put through a squeeze play. Haley just
nibbled at the ball, and it rolled along
third. Koestner ran in and made a
quick return to the plate, catching
Bernard Brashear stole a moment
later and then Haley was caught al
third, the play reading Orendorff to
Delmas to Orendorff to Smith. In the
last inning the Vernons sent the An
gels to the bench in quick order, end
ing the game with a fast double play
