Ing Players

Holding the score down to a one to
one tie until the seventh inning, and
playing the same class of ball which
featured Tuesdays game, the Angels
blew up in the latter half of the con-
test and allowed Portland to win out
on a series of errors which would have
brought groans Of disgust from the
bIeachers of any fOur-corners village.
Despite the fact that both McCredie's
Beavers and Dillon's Angels connected
with eight hits each, the local players
tailed but one run, while the northern
nine scored four men.
Third Baseman Ryan of the Portland
team sprained his ankle in the fourth
inning, and had to be carried from the
field, but was replaced by Guyn, who
played a snappy and errorless game on
sack No. 8. The Beavers quite re-
deemed their previous showing, and al
though few sensational plays marked
the contest, the fielding of the visiting
nine made every fan sit UP and take
notice. Poor throwing to bases by the
Angels was responsible for a large
number of runs scored.
Beavers Show Nice Team Work
The Portland lineup was somewhat
changed Johnson holding down the
initial bag, with Ryan on third during
procrastinator, in the center garden.
Koestner was on the mound for the
Los Angeles ball club, and twirled as
becomes a true Seraph, being cheered
nearly every time he stepped to the
plate. For the first few innings the
game was pitchers battle, but later
developed into q base running bee
which was made possible by the
wretched base throwing of the locals. !
The Beavers were unable to connect
with Koestner's twisters, and nine men
were retired by the strike-out route.
Not a hit was made until the third |
inning when Orendorff, who officiated |
on the receiving end of the local bat |
terry, registered a clean single through |
the infeld. Goodwin, as If spurred on
by the Seraph catcher's example, i'm !

fast team work Of the visitors shut out
the runs.
First Tally In Fourth
Both teams worked along the shut
out line of operation until the fourth
inning, when Olson scored the first hit
made off Koestner with a neat single
along the third base line. With one
down, Ryan drove hot one to Wheeler,
who threw to second in an effort to
double Olson. The horsehide hit the
fleeing Portlander amidships and rolled |
into the center garden, allowing Olson

journey than had originally been
agreed upon. Ryan endeavored to steal
second on the play but was retired.
Daley to Howard, and not only failed
in his attempt, but sprained his ankle
and had to be carried from the lists. A
physician was summoned from the
grand stand who attended to the in
juries of the fallen gladiator. Captain
McCredie, who dOgged Ryan to the
plate, singled center field, sending Olson
home with the first tally of the game.
Fisher heaved a long one into Bealls
territory, but the Angel fielder made n
beautiful catch of the ball, retiring the
side.
Seventh Is Fatal

latter half of the same inning, how
