Los Angeles 7, Sacramento
Los Angeles shut out Sacramento
yesterday, playing at top speed and
displaying the best form they have ex-
hibited since the opening OF the season.
Trained down fine. running bases like
snrinters. hitting like demons and HELD
ing without an error, the Angels mad
the visitors beaten from the nrst
pitched ball, but the Grahamites ala
not allow Dillon to get away without
putting up a battle. There is one
noticeable thing about the sacramento
men that is a source of gratlncatlon 10
the true sportsman. They never give
IN without a hard fight, but this strug-
gle is always clean, and their playing
! Is characterized by the least roaring
over decisions and grabbing eVnced
nv any of the Coasters. The example
of Graham, one of the best-mannered
players in the business, is contagious.
Yesterday, when McGreevy changed
decision, an action which with Port
| land playing probably would nave
| caused small-sized riot, the Senators
gathered around him and protested
| quietly, taking his final averse verdict
| in a manner that should be an obJect'
lesson to every other team In the
league.
Gilt-edge pitching by Tozer, the Wild
ness of Jimmy Whalen, who was re-
placed by Gilman in the seventh, and
four costly errors by the northerners
were responsible for the shutout. The
locals played like live wires, getting off
on their toes to first, stealing bases
with impunity and swinging at
Whalens best delivery like crew from
the "land of manana" relaying on the
railroad gang, striking every spike with
the precision of experts. 1t was clock
4 Ill - 4IaA fohn tho
Angel innings, and loose play in the
visitors periods.
Angels Assume Lead
After two no-run innings the Angels
took a big lead over the former out
laws. In the third the reliable ana
hard hitting little Daley, who is almost
sure to start things when a running
hit is needed, singled hot to left, and
went to second on Godwin's out Beall
singled to center, and when Howard
repeated over right Daley scored the
first run of the game. Beall going to
third. Then the parade around the
sacks began,@ and before it ended the
! Angels had secured a lead of four runs,
and it appeared to be all over but the
shouting. Jud Smith, who went back
into yesterdays game after four
days absence, due to a badly injured
wrist, which was hit by pitched ball,
appeared next at the plate, and after
his warm reception just had to make
good. He did so by slapping out hard
one to Gandii, was safe at first and
Beall crossed the pan in front of the
! throw in.
Delmas hit bunt along first, scoring
Howard, and while Gandil hollered over
the decision in calling the batter safe
at first the runners took another base.
Dillon hunted along first, the ball land
/ H.. a -
remain so. did not pick it up. The
sphere rolled into the diamond, and
McGreevy, who had prematurely called
a foul, reversed his decision. While
Whalen held the ball Smith reached
home.
On this showing the locals rested on
their laurels and until the sixth there
were few sensations. except for the
good work of Tozer in the box and
the fast fielding of the champions. In
the first six innings Tozer's offerings to
the Senatorial shrine were three
scratch hits.
Angels Don Hitting carb
In the sixth the Angels once more
donned their hitting garb and went
after Whalen Tozer walked, stole
second and scored on Daley's hit to
center. Goodwin breezed a high one to
Center Fielder Zamlock, and the
youngster made a brave try, running
far infield, but dropped the ball, Daley
crossing the plate. Beall came through
with single, but Goodwin in attempt
ing to steal home was caught by
whis<er.
These runs had all been made after
two men had been placed out of COM
mission, and this out closed the side
for this period. Sacramento tried hard
to ginger up for a fighting finish AMI
almost made a run in the seventh, but
unlucky drives on their part and good
fielding by the locals held them to tina
| second bag. Buck Ehman, formerly of
the Boston Americans, was here sent
| in by Graham as a forlorn hope
Whalen showing signs of going to
pieces. Smith landed on the second
pitcher like ton of lead, banging out
hard double. He stole third and
came home on Byrne's low throw to
Doyle to catch him off the bag. This
run ended all the scoring. The detailed
score:
