"Dolly" Gray, the one-time idol of
Los Angeles fandom and player
whose achievements in the big bush
have made his name a household word
in every city and town throughout the
country, faced the Angels yesterday
afternoon at Chutes park in the Sec
ond contest of the Los Angeles-All
National flve-game secier. Opposed
TO him was Bill Tozer and band OF
Seraphs resolved to give the crack
easter~ers the game of their lives.
Moreover the locals started out with
n batting streak which held through
out the entire meeting
But Dolly" was backed by
stroner infield than Dillon's proteges
could boast. and the eleven bingles Sc
cured from his delivery resolved them-
selves into two runs. Inning after In
ming passed with the Angels cut Off at
third base or at the plate.
Game is Tame
The game was not snappy. The fair
crowd of blase bleacherites who hao
paid admission to see old-time anger
PLAYERS in big league company could
scarcely repress a yawn as frame after
frame slipped by. An occasional burst
of applause was occasioned when an
exceptionally brilliant exhibition OF
infleld play on the part of the visitors
was negotiated.
Tozer took his team away TO a one
run lead and held the position until
the fifth inning. Then the Nationals
decided to move up and Gray let OUT
a wrap or two The boys in blue and
red responded beautifully, and three
punched hits, together with timely
error, gave them four tallies. One
more run was scored by the Angels
and two by the Nationals, but from
the fifth inning to the close or tne
game the local club was outclassed In
everything but batting. Eleven hits
were slammed out by Dillon's team,
nearly every player finding the horse
hide. The Nationals found Tozer but
seven times. 1t is batting teom whose
average will stand among the hrst
three mines in any league, but stick
work, unless carried out in connection
with fast infield play, amounts TO little
Never was there a better Illustration
of the same than yesterdays game.
But one lone error was made by the
Nationals, when Doyle in endeavoring
to secure a double failed TO touch Sec
ond base.
DeImas' Single
The Angels could not score with
single base hit or even couple OF
them. Their first run was tailed on
four safeties, while a triplet of bingles
accounted for the second. Beal started
the run getting for Los Angeles in the
second inning with a neat single to the
left garden. Advanced to third base
on Jud's liner, the Angel sacker came
home when another safety off Delmas'
bat landed outside of Ellis reach. Or
endorff singled and Tozer raised his
batting average, but Lennox's fast
fielding of Daley's grounder retired the
side.
In the fifth inning the Nationals prac-
tically won the game. When the oppor-
tunity offered the entire team got into
line for a few minutes and batted as
though on their home circuit. Bliss got
in front of a breeze burner and was
passed to first Dollie Gray put over
the only double made by an All Ma
tional during the contest, scoring Bliss
and turning the two-bagger into a
round-trip ticket when Daley played
hide and seek with the sphere in the
outfeld. Doyle found room for another
Texas Lacquer, and Blue Eyes was re-
sponsible for another score when Rube
Ellis grounder slipped between his
legs. On another error and couple of
singles two more runs were scored by
the Nationals in the eighth inning. Box
score:
