After witnessing the opening game
of the second series between the VIII
layers and the Angels yesterday, there
We're few fans who left Chutes park
convinced that there was something in
the talk that Hap Hogan and Eddie
Maier have been making about having
1t ION" the Angels and Berry, Dillon
& Co. Although the Angels won nine
in thirteen games played in the north
by showing real class, they came back
home and started away on the back
trail by putting up the dumbest game
they ever played. and almost equaled
the outlandish exhibition put UP by
the Vernons in the final game last sun
day with the Frisco crew.
An unusually large weekday crowd
was in attendance, being keyed up to
a high pitch of enthusiasm because of
the intense rivalry between the two
teams and their officials and the show
ings of the two teams in the last fort
night 1t looked like the old feud would
be revived to the credit of the Angels,
as they showed so much better form
away from home than Vernon had
shown here, but the game proved a
huge disappointment in every way.
In the first place, Vernon won a hot
finish by the score of 4 to 8, and then
1t was the Angels who put up the
bonehead article of ball that was eX-
pected of the youngsters on the other
side.
Both teams scored pair in the OPEN
ing frame. Vernon then took the lead
in the fourth and scored another,
which afterWard proved the winning
run, in the sixth. The Angels had
many opportunities to win the game,
but refused most stubbornly. although
II must be said to their credit that
they tried in the ninth, when they
scored once. Tozer started out to pitch
for the Angels, and did very nicely
until the sixth inning by which time
the game was practically lost. when
he was retired in favor of Gill, the
utility man and first baseman-ptcher
Willetts represented Vernon on the
mound all the way and he pitched his
usual good game.
Contrary to expectations, Vernon is
the home team this week, and the An
gels were the first to go to bat. One
error accounted for one of the runs
scored by the Angels, although con-
sistent and heady ball playing might
have given them the same results.
Daley singled to center and Bernard
followed with a safety to left. Daley
tried to go to third and succeeded, al
though he should have been retired. as
the return from the field was perfect,
but Kitty Brashear again showed that

dropped the bail, Daley going home and
Bernard getting safely to third. How

Kitty Brashear redeemed himself with
a double to left and went to third on

doubled to the score board, sending

suit with another double to center and
Roy scampered across the pan.
Los Angeles waited until its half Of
the ninth to score again, but Vernon
