ALL ANGELS LOOK
ALIKE TO Mr..
TONNESEN
Oakland Pitcher Deals South
erners a ShufOuf i'm First
Game of the Series

The oracles of the diamond have
always held that a southpaw pitcher
at his best holds the Indian sign over
the heads of that Los Angeles team any
time he starts. We have seen instances
of this in the past, but it was never
more clearly brought out than yester-
day afternoon on the Oakland field.
Tonnesen whisked the southern slug
gers away with such seeming ease that
everybody marveled. Oakland won. L
to o. by slipping in with lonesome
tally in the opening inning. 1t was the
first game of the series and, naturally,
1t counted a lot for the cellar brigade.
Tonnesens work was the show. He
hurled everything that a pitcher ever
had, and the farther the game pro
crossed the better he was. At the
on Koestner and the chances are that
we would have seen another "a inning
history making struggle but for the
tally which Oakland managed to rail-
road through ere the game was five
minutes old This was a lucky one,
though it was earned.
Tonnesen. has pitched many good
game since he Joined the Oakland club
this season, but never one like yes
terday's. He twisted EN- up around
the necks of the opposing batsmen
and he wound 'em around their ankles.
The shoots were all the same. The
southern swatters went for any of
them. Lone hits in the third. seventh.
eighth and ninth spasms tell the tale
of what the proud and naughty Angels
did with the club.
That dean of leaders and wiseacre of
the field, Cap Dillon, tossed the game
to the Oaks in the first inning. After
il was all over everybody on the lot
saw where he had made mistake.
Murphy opened the round with a
healthy wallop to right that was good
for two sacks. Carroll laid down a
neat sacrifice and Duffey Lewis pro-
duced the bird that caused the over
throw of the southerners. 1t trickled
down the first base line and Dillon
only scoffed at it, feeling certain that
the ball would roll foul 1t rolled fair.
bounced over the bag. Murphy tore
home and the game was won.
The Angels played grand game in
the field. and had they been against
pitcher whom they could hit the ex-
Inhibition would have been a spirited
one on their part. Anybody who fig
ures that the southern team will not
give the Seals run next week is
figuring the wrong sort of baseball
stuff Los Angeles is still there and
as dangerous as of old.
The chances are that yesterdays vic
tory will put some life and ginger
into the Oaks. With Nelson, another
southpaw, and the speedy Wigs still
in reserve, the Angels will be forced
TO fight every inch of the way in order
TO get by on the next six games. The
score:
