Portland came to town yesterday and pro-
eeede5 to grab the first game of the series
with the Angels on home grounds by the
score of 8 to 3, after again disposing OF the
$4,000 beauty. Thorsen who has been
pitching an article of ball this season that
would make a bush Lacquer draw his re-
lease. The feature of the game was the pa
thence of Cap Dillon In permitting Thorsen
to lose the game in his efforts at finally
making good. allowing the big boy to stick
on the mound until after the game was
lost before removing him and making an
effort at winning the opening game.
~ Thorsen was tolerated for seven innings
before Dillon chased him to the bench ahu
substituted Noodles Nagle. As soon as the
switch was made the Beavers quit scoring,
very naturally. Had the change been maze
before the game started Los Angeles WolIu
have been close to second place TO-DAY IN
stead of being threatened with nfth place
in exchange with Oakland. Thorsen may
be worth 900 to some clubs. but he LOOKS
more like a candidate for the bench IN
the company he Is trying to keep these
days. If he ever is going to win a game
It seems that 1t is about time for him TO
begin, and If many more chances are given
him to make good and he performs as ne
has been doing lately the Angels will be
kicking the bottom out OF the cellar be-
Krapp did the heavy artillery stunt for
the Beavers and was so effective that the
Angel swatters found it extremely difficult
to connect with his offerings. Five hits IN
nine innings represent all they could get
off him, while three runs were produced
from these. Knapp was especially eHectlNe
in emergencies and only in one inning dlu
he allow more than one hit. His team
mates backed him up nicely in the field
making no misplays, and when they were
at bat they found 1t easy enough to drive
in enough runs to win the game, which
is all that was expected of them.
The Angels are developing the quitting
a+aIxy m
preciated very much by the fans. uusually
getting off in front they loaf along until
the other fellows get up to them and wave
their hands in farewell as they keep on
going This is what they did yesterday:
They scored once in the opening inning ana
then stopped until the fourth, when an
other was put over The final run for
their side came in the seventh. Portland
fled the score in the second took the lead
IN the third with a pair and never after
were headed. as they chased one over IN
the fifth and another in the seventh.
Delhi probably will be sent out to 90 the
firing today, and the big speed merchant
has been improving fast and winning MS
share of games 1t looks like the Angels
might win if they wake up and take a
chance at hitting the ball Knapp, their
hoodoo is out of the way for day or two
at least. and there IS other on the Bea-
Yer nav roll like him. With Delhi, Tozer'
Naele and Briswalter to take their turns
on tbe mound 1t looks rather good for at
least three in the six games remaining TO
he played By good luck and a bracer
tbey can take the series.
Following is the tabu1ated score OF the
game yesterday:
