COAST LEAGUE STANDING
AnaeIs 8, Beavers 2

Glass counts for a lot in any klno
of a contest, and the Angels yesterday
demonstrated their class by defeating
+he Reayers 8 to 2 with half as many
hits as the losers gathered off carson.
Only two misplays were made pehlhd
Koestner, who was tossing 'em over
for the Angels, and to this great WORK
in the field and the timely batting OF
the champions is due the second vic
tory in three games played this season.
Koestner was steady enough ana
pitched good enough ball to win, but
the Angeles did not hit Carson freely,
and the victory is considered all the
more highly because the locals were
able to win by better baserunning, bet
ter fielding and more timely batting
than their rivals showed. Had carson
been given the same brand of support
that the Angels gave to koestner,
there might have been anoller Story "
tell.
Every time that Koestner got in
hole his fielders were there with bells
on and put an end to all danger by
backing him up splendidly in the held.
Then they ran bases like they were
afraid their feet might get toasteu II
thew wasted any time in one place, and
managed to get four TALES on the
registration list before Jimmy Toman
declared the last Beaver out in the
ninth. The story of the rungetting is
told in detail as follows:
The Angels took the lead in the
second inning by scoring the first run
of the game. Howard singled to
right, Smith bunted and both hands
were safe on a poorly attempted field
er's choice. Delmas was thrown out at
first by Johnson and Thompson drove
a long one to center, which Ryan
caught, Howard scoring on the out.
Portland tied the score in the third
by reason of errors. Armbruster was
an easy out, Delmas to Dillon, but Car
son was safe at first when Dillon
muffed Delmas' low throw. Ryan was
retired by the Howard-Dillon surething
route, but Olson hit a hot one down to
Delmas, who let it get away, and Car
son scored.
The Angels took the lead again in
the sixth by scoring once. Goodwin was
passed and stole second, taking third
on a passed ball. Dillon grounded to
Kennedy. Howard dropped one down
to Carson, who threw to Kennedy to
catch Howard, but in a collision be-
tween the two Kennedy dropped the
ball, Howard being called safe. God
win, meantime, was tearing for the
plate and made it easily.
Just to make sure that the game
was cinched the Angels made another
run in the lucky seventh. Delmas was
safe on Johnson's tumble, but was
thrown out at third by Carson, who
fielded Thompson's infeld hit. Oren-
dorff forced Thompson at second.
Koestner then drove a single into left
field and stole second. Daley walked,
filling the bases, and Carson gave
Goodwin a free pass, forcing Orendorff
over the pan with run No. 3.
Portland made a desperate, but un-
successful, rally in the ninth, scoring
one run. Graney, batting for Breen,
walked. Armbruster also strolled. Will
let, batting for Carson, famed, and
Ryan filled the bases with single to
left. Olson forced Armbruster and
Graney scored. Ort was easy money,
however, and the game ended as it
should have ended, with the Angels
on the long end Of the small score.
Following is the official score and
summary:
