San Francisco lost game to Los An
geles yesterday afternoon on a play
that had never happened in this city
before, according TO the old timers who
have been watching diamond contests
here since the day of the Twenty sixth
and Harrison streets grounds. It was
a time called" play, Umpire Irwin
calling time just Nick Williams
banged out 4 pretty two sacker and
hammered home the run that made 1t
deadlock.
Some Of the Los Angeles players
must have heard Captain Mohler re-
quest Irwin TO take time out in order
10 give the Seal captain a chance to
put in another man to run for Tommy
Tenant. But Pitcher Nagle of the An
gels did rot hear ii. Neither did VIII
Iiams Nagle pitched the ball and Viii
iiams landed on il for a two sacker-
The fans were beside themselves with
JOY when Tenant tore home with the
run that tied II up But alas, their JOY
was transformed into sorrow when the
runner and the batter were called back
Williams had 10 bat over again and
this time he flied out TO Daley. The
game ended and the Angels won, to g.
After the Angels had put over their
tyins run IN the ninth il went into eX-
ira innings. The first two Seals up in
the tenth faded away, but Tenant sin
gled 10 right and Witt followed with a
safe drive 10 center. Then along came
Williams with a two sacker into the
left neld bIeachers and Tenant arrived
at the plate
Umpire Irwin. who was doing duty
in the field. said something TO Will
liams who paused at first Then the
members OF the TWO teams gathered
around Irwin and a general powwow
al, haf To,7
Ter had asked him TO call time and that
lie had done so. But if he did make
. this order the fans in the grandstand
did not hear him and neither did Nagle
nor Williams, as is evidenced by the
hit which the latter made.
ORDERED BACK TO BAT
But il went anyhow, so there must
be something in Irwin's contention
Williams was ordered back to the bat
and he responded this time with
long fly, which fell into the waiting
mitts Of Daley. The game was over.
Before Williams went TO the bat for
the second time Mohler registered q
protest. However. this hardly will GO
any good. for if Mohler asked the UNI
pire TO call time and the umpire did
call time, then the game should have
been delayed. The only question is:
Why did not Irwin call time in voice
loud enough for everybody 10 hear
him?
Up 10 the time Of the big blowof the
contest was another one Of those wild,
woody. western affairs, with the Seals
playing the roles of the real wild per-
formers. They made as many errors
as they did hits, and in spite of the
fact that Southpaw Harry Sutor was
pitching shutout bail they did not
seem to be able to get by with any
thing good.
PLAh PERFECT BALL
The southern tossers played perfect
bail behind Nagle and to this in a
measure. was due their victory. But
Nsgie himself was very much off color,
and he deliberately decided the game
over To his opponents in the seventh
Inning by a series of passes TO the
weak batters.
The seals got their first one in the
fifth. Witt and Williams each got free
transportation. Mohler came through
with a nice drive to right on which
Witt found his way home. Williams
tried TO make third on this play, but
they pegged him out, so the inning
ended.
Nagle made his prize bloomer in
round number seven. He started badly,
hitting williams with a pitched bah.
MohIer sacrificed and Sutor walked.
After Madden had made the second
out on fly. Nagle deliberately passed
that helpless sticker. McArdle. Mel
chior unloaded a nice two sacker out to
center field. Both Williams and Sutor
rounded the final turn, making it to
2 in San Franciscos favor.
NOT SAN FRANCISCO'S DAY
However. it was not San Francisco's
victorious day, as the ninth inning
plainly showed. Howard started off
for the Angles by singing and steal
ing as Delmas famed. Kennedy hit
= grounder TO McArdle, who cleverly
begged TO Witt, heading Howard off at
third base.
This made the second out and every
body was getting ready to leave when
Hallfnan planted a single into the right
garden. Melchior booted the ball in
true bushlike fashion and then pegged
# away at third in an effort to head
off Kennedy in his wild flight. On
came Kennedy 10 the plate with the
ran that made IT deadlock Tor the
second time during the afternoon.
The Angels went at their task in e
brsinesslike way in the tenth and pro-
ceeded TO break IL up without further
ceremony. Orndorf. the first man up.
drove a two sacker into the left field
i.leachers The next two men could
not % any good, but the ever reliable
Re-nard singled TO deep center and
sarndorf sprinted TO the plate. The
ha5f was relayed, Madden TO Sutor 10
williams and It WAS very close de-
.isior At the plate Umpire McGreevy
eajc ~safe" so that settled 1t. The
sore.
