Los Angeles 6, Vernon I

The ice is broken. The hoodoo is no
more. Captain Dillons band of An
gels have won game by the score of
6-1. Batting in great form, the Angels
demonstrated yesterday afternoon to
the satisfaction of every fan present
that they were far from being down
and out, and should the present form
continue the Seals may yet be given a
close run for the pennant.
A good-sized crowd of fans turned
out yesterday afternoon to witness the
first game of a series between the Ser
apis and Happy Hogan's band of viii
layers. After a weeks disastrous tour
of the coast circuit the Los Angeles
ball club donned their suits yesterday
and began to play ball as though they
had never lost a game. Hard hitting
and, plenty of it, coupled with almost
errorless fielding, placed the Angels on
the long end of a 6-1 score. When
Pete Daley stepped up to the plate in
the first inning the fans gave him such
a reception as should encourage the
Angels to redeem their laurels in this
weeks series. Daley started the ball
rolling with neat single to the intield,
and from that point of the game until
Brown flew to Delmas in the ninth In
ming the Seraphs hit Schafer for twelve
safe hits. Although Briswalter, who
did the twirling for Dillon's nine, was
a trifle wild, allowing the Nernonites
nine hits, he was admirably supported
by his infield, which helped him out of
several tight places.
Angels Good Stick Work
The Seraphs started on their hitting
streak in the second inning, when Del
mas lined out a clean tWo-base hit
bringing in Jud Smith from second, and
scoring the first run for the Angel band
in thirty-nine consecutive innings. In
the last half of the second inning Ho-
gan's team came within an ace or
tieing the score, when, with man on
second and another on third, Mott
showed the stick under long hlgh one.
Eagan, who had been stalling along
between third and home, was obliged
to return to the base and was unable
to make connections with the home
plate. With two outs and two Vernon
ties on bases. Orendorff came to the
rescue by mailing Hogan's foul One
of the pTettiest plays of the game was
negotiated by the Dillonites in the third
inning when, with the bases full, they
handed the Vernon team another goose
egg by series of lightning plays which
made every fan on the ground sit up
and take notice. Eagan connected with
the ball for hot grounder, which IN
turn was nabbed by Smith, who lined
the horsehide home, catching StoVal.

Four Runs in Fifth
IT was in the fifth inning, however,
that the majority Of the slaughter oc-
Cured, the Angels chalking up four
runs. Schafer walked Orendorff to first
the latter making another lap on the
journey on wild pitch. Briswalter
reached first on a perfect bunt, which
gave Orendorff an opportunity to pur-
loin sack number three. Pete Daley
the classy little center fielder of Dill
Ions nine, at this point Of the game
made his third hit, when he lined sa1e
one over Bernard's 8 head, scoring Oren-
dorff, Goodwin came to the rescue
with a neat sacrifice hit, placing Daley
on second and Briswalter on third.
Dillon lived up to his reputation at this
tuncture by lining out another sacrlHce
hit, bringing home Briswalter and
sending Daley to third. Beal con-
tinued the good work by rapplng out
a two-bagger, which made 1t possible
for Daley to add another tally to the
score Wheeler who seemed to have
also become initiated into the intrica-
cies of Schafer's volleying, raped the
Vernon mound artist for another two
Dagger into the right garden Of the
outfield, scoring Beall.
Vernon's Lone Tally
The Villagers made their one and
only tally in the fifth inning, when, as
though inspired by the way their OPP
ponents had been slamming Schafer to
every corner of the grounds, Stovall
reached second on a one-base hit and
q wild throw by Wheeler, and when
Martinke raped out another, Stovall
struck the horne trail and tailed YER
mons one and only hit
From this point on 1t was Los An
Eeles all the way, Captain Dillon s
crey tallying once more and holding the
Vernonites down In every inning. In
the sixth inning Captain Dillon was
fined twice, two wads of IS each, by
Umpire McGreevey for disputing a de-
cision, and when Dillon came to bat in
the next inning was ordered out Of the
game.
According to yesterdays perform
ance the Angels have again struck
their stride and should have no diff
Guilty in taking the series from Happy
Hogan. Let the good work continue.
