Angels, 2; Athletics, !


A casual visitor at Chutes park yes
terday, unfamiliar with the conditions
& rounding the play between the Ath-
letics and the Angels, might have
imagined two top notch teams were
fighting it out in a final series with
championship at stage. This is strong
statement to make in view of the fact
that the Angels were tied up with one
of the classiest teams playing the ma
tional game, and 1t will seem stranger
sal when it is further stated that the
Angels played rings around the men
from the east. sss.ss.''=s' .-
1t was the farewell game OF. the Sc
ries with the Dillionites. There is no
use In saying that the Athletics were
not trying that they were playing with
thu locals, that they didn't want to
beat them too badly. CO Morgan and
his mates were out to win yesterday.
They wanted to win mighty bad, for
a defeat at the hands of the Los AM
geles coast leaguers won't help them
l.. pulling crowds during the remainder
of their transforming trip on the
coast. Consequently they were anxious
to win as a matter purely of business.
But the Dillonites crowned a week of
some of the snappiest playing the
southern fans have ever seen by whip
ping Morgan and his compatriots to a
standstill. The score sheet tells that
each team made five hits; that the
Angels won by slugging the ball in
the third; that both teams played
nearly perfect ball; that both Thorsen
and Morgan were in good form. But
what the score sheet doesn't tell is
what the stay-at-home fan who reads
about it in the morning cannot see,
what won the game.
Angel Play Superior
Superior ball playing beat the Ath-
letics. Connie Mack's great players
have heretofore grabbed almost all the
glory of sensational base running and
spectacular, fielding. The only glory
which has been the Angels share was
somewhat reflected. But the four
games with the fast bunch from the
City Of Brotherly Love has livened up
the ais to an amazing extent, and
they gaze rare and pretty exhibition
which will remain sweet memory in
the minds of the southern bleacherites.
Big Thorsen had all his old speed
and even more than usual control yes
terday. Consequently, the visitors got
little, and fairly earned what they
got.
Daley, Delmas and Ross probably
took the premier honors of the final
session. Little Tom Daley never has
been so much appreciated by the daily
attendants of the games as he was
yesterday. Twice he saved a possible |
score by making long. running and |
leaping catches, once starring in quite |
the best fielding feat seen in the Sc
ries, when he ran back to the fence |
from his station in midfeld, jumped |
into the air just atthe right-center |
fence and grabbed down a long free |
hit by Collins. that seemed sure for a
double, and probably would have
bounded over Delmas made several |
beautiful pickups at short, and Ross
had all the credit of samming out
two terrific singles, one of which aided
materially in bringing in a run. Thor /
sens twirling gave the Athletics Bit
ter taste.
Thorsen Is Effective
That fearful drive over the plate
forced several of the big Ieaguers to
swing yainly, and during a greater
part of the game, he managed to get
two out before anything was started
and 1t was easy to stop anything like
a score in this situation.
1t was the second trimming th&
Angels have given Cy Morgan in the
week, and the big pitcher will return
east with new opinion OF the class
OF southern coast league hitters. The
winning runs came in the third inning
and they were needed, for in the next
one tally was given free to the Ath-
letics by Jimmy Toman, who was alone
In his belief that the fasteners de-
served the score.
Daley opened the third with a sim
gle to center. He stole second neatly
on Donohue, but was caught at third
on Morgans fielder's choice of Dlllons
liner. Ross's single advanced the cap
tain to third from first. Johnny Beall
drove the ball to Baker, who over
threw first. and this so disguised or
surprised Davis that he tripped on
the initial bag, his spike catching as he
was going backward, and he fell prone
on his back, the ball rolling to the
grandstand. Collins raced after it, but
Dillon and Ross had scored.
Oldring was hit by a pitched ball in p,
the first of the fourth. He went to
second on collins single to center, and !
both men were advanced on a sacri- !
flee by Coombs. J
Nip Attempts to Steal

some of the grandstand work of the

them plain intimation that the dar-
ing attempts to show up the Coast
league teams are fatal against the Dill ]

soaring far into the center field. Pete !
Daley gave one look, judged his ball
and was under when it I
landed, with feet planted ready for a !
quick return. Collins left first, reached
second and kept on toward third, evil ]

throw-in. He failed by three feet, for
Jud Smith had him easily. In the
meantime Oldring has been scooting I

play that he was still ten feet away I
