Sacramento 2, Los Angeles /

In a game that consumed only an
hour and hale, featured by fast field
ing and little hitting, the Angels were
downed by Sacramento yesterday at
Chutes park, making desperate effort
to land the contest, but being out
classed by Grahan1's Senators, who
won the game in the ninth, after New
lin, the newest recruit among the An
gel box artists, had blown up and
allowed several passes and two hits at
a costly period This spectacle of
pitcher holding his opponents down to
six hits, four of which were made in
the last two innings, and then losing
the game through wildness may seem
a misstatement of fact, but although
Newlin on the score sheet Us credited
with a small number of hits, glance
farther down will bring to light that
he was chalked UP for seven passes.
Once the youngster filed the bags, and
the first run for Sacramento was forced
in when the fourth man walked The
crowd started that dreaded old sing
song lay, "Take him OUT Take him
out" but Dillon. the wise old OWL al
lowed him to remain, and in this crtti-
cal period Newlin pulled himself out
of bad hole.
Graham had Spider Baum on the de-
livery wagon IOr Ill6 CeIdlOIS. ne
former toothpick-who, by the way, is
now so stockily built that he is hardly
recognized by his friends-was all to
the good, and although he was touched
for eight hits, he managed to keep them
fairly separated and struck out four of
the champions. only one man reached
first through his agency, and Baum
fielded perfectly. AS whole, the teams
played a most satisfying sort of game,
for Ross and Graham, both behind the
bat, were the only offenders in the err
ror column. This fast one-two- three
business, with a sprinkling of hits and
pretty fielding, is far more satisfactory
than the ragged games.
Dillon Caught Mapping
Captain Dillon must be charged with
the loss of his game. The cool-headed
cap was guilty of a real bone-headed
play in the seventh, after starting
things nicely on the road toward a
winning score. Dillon came to bat and
landed on one of Baum's best for a nice
long single to left field. He stole
second, and with Ross at bat the gray
haired leader was caught mapping off
the base on throw by Baum to sec
ond IT is seldom that Dillon is caught
with the goods in this manner, but at
this juncture 1t cost the game, for on
Ross out he could have gotten to third

etly home on Newlin's well placed sin
gle to right.
Beall as usual planked out his daily
double to right in the first inning, a
moment after he had stepped to the
plate, and when Howard repeated over
short Beall came home Thereafter
there were only ciphers in the Angel
run column.
In the fifth Sacramento got a run.
when House singled to left, was forced
at second by Gandill, and the latter
was forced over the plate when Gra-
ham and Baum walked. The other
run of the Senators came in their last
time at bat. Zamlock hit to left, Gra-
ham sacrificed him to second, and Spi-
der Baum won his own game by hit
ting a smacking double on which zam-
lock scored. Baum's hit struck the far
left field fence, and with little moro
elbow grease behind it would have dis
appeared outside the enclosure. The
Angels could do nothing with Baum in
their half, Delnas, Dillon and Ross
closing the game as named. The score
