Los Angeles 2, San Francisco
Had Chawles Comiskey and several
others of the big league magnates been
seated on the front row benches yes
terday afternoon at Chutes park they
might have believed themselves in dear
old windy Chicago or some other home
town, watching their pets embattled
for a championship series.
Two thousand fans saw Los Angeles
and San Francisco put up one of the
hottest sessions of the year. jam full
of that kind of playing that places a
league IN class AA, and enliVened by
a plenitude of hitting as far as the
locals were concerned. With the eX-
ception of three young men back or
the press stand the crowd for once
rooted for the Angels at every turn,
and while they showed due apprecla-
tion of the clever fielding of the north
erners, this time the victory Of the
champs was won with good support
from the bleachers.
Eleven innings, or to be exact, ten
innings and a half had passed before
there came any semblance of break
up in the long struggle. After showing
in an easy run in the first sailing
along to a to 0 score for eight in
nings and then being tie dup in the
ninth, the champs came through with
a hitfest in the eleventh that earned
them the contest, though Dillon's men
were well aware before the finish that
they had met team Of real ball play
ers. Capt. Frank was forced to change
his entire battery in the tenth, when
he had disqualified Nagle and Oren-
dorff by sending in Wheeler to bat FOR
the pitcher and Ross to bat for the
catcher in vain hopes of getting a
winning hit. But this was not to be.
Magic and BriswaIter Effective,
Nagle and Briswalter, two of the
choicest of Dillon's superb collection Of
curve artists, had everything that
winning pitcher needs, and when you
dissect the game and pick it up inning
by inning the northerners never had
a chance to win. Nagle's delivery
caused the visitors to be satisfied with
five hits, only one of which was
double, and not a bingle was added
after Briswalter stepped in The
Berry boys outfielded the Mohler vet
erans also, so how the baysiders fig
ured is beyond the comprehension of
even the most ardent supporters of the
team which came out of the north.
Slivers Henley did yeoman duty for
his mates UP to that eleventh inning,
when the pace told and he let down.
the Angel batters securing five hits off
him. They were still hitting when Dill
Ion crossed the plate for the winning
run.
That first score was of tie fluke va
riety Goodwin, the second man up for
the Angels, was walked, and stole sec
ond neatly. When Berry heaved the
ball wild and it rolled out into center
field Goodwin scooted for home and slid
to safety. The thoroughly aroused
Seals started in then to play the An
gels off their feet. But it was Greek
and Greek, with not an inch or a dollar
in favor of either team. Between fast
fielding, little hitting and ditto base
running, the game progressed along to-
ward that ninth period. San Francisco
came to bat and only good luck gave
them the tying score. Zeider hit in
field and was sent to second when
Mohler-that shrewd, brainy little play
er-sacrificed Tennant singled to left,
sending Zeider to third, and when Bodie
flew out to Daley in deep center Zeider
hoofed it to the plate.
After the score had been tied, when
everything pointed to a sunset row,
Dillon made a desperate oeort to bring
in a winning score in the ninth. He
changed the battery, sending Wheeler
in to bat for Nagle, and Ross to act for
Orendorff, but this brought nothing.
Andy Trots Out
When the tenth opened little Andy
Briswalter, who had been warming up
behind the bleachers, trotted into the
box, and after receiving a rousing cheer
settled down to his job and gave big
league account of himself. He got off
without a hit, and the seven raps given
Henley by the Angels in the next two
innings did the work.
In the tenth Delmas singled TO left
and was out when he started to steal
third Dillon answered the call for
help by getting a single base hit to
center. and Ross repeated, Mohler fall
ing on the ball to save it from going
into deep center.
Briswalter was feeling just right for
a hitting bee, and added to the merry
tune with another hit infield, filling the
bases. OF course, at this point the
crowd was wild and Pete Daley, fast
and accurate fielder, gained a reputa-
tion as a pinch hitter by slamming out
a single to center, scoring Dillon for the
deciding tally. The game will live
long in the memory of those who saw
it. The tabulated results:
