NOODLE BALL TOO PUzZLING
BY JAY DAVIDSON

That Angelic winning streak is still
unbroken, the Sacramentans, who
opened a nine-game series with the
Angels yesterday being unable to put
the jinks onto our boys, although
holding them to a rather uncomfort-
bly close score, the official figures read
ing to 1 at the finish. Nagle was IN
his usual good form, and although MS
team mates did not bat up to form'
they slugged the ball hard enough 70
win the game for him. while he held
the opposition in a viselike grip
Baum twirled one of his good games,
and with the exception of the fifth and
sixth innings had the Angels at his
mercy. He gave up eight hits, none OF
them of the eXtra-base variety, ana
only in the fifth did he allow more than
one hit to an inning. Neither twlrler
gave free pass, and errors We're peau-
tifully held to a satisfactory minimum.
With such q desperate duel between
the two pitchers, 1t remained for the
Angels to win solely on their class, and
they went nobly about their business
and justified form and the good opin-
ions of the fans by making 1t their
sixth straight victory.
Los Angeles was first to score, but
Baum held them down to nothing until
the fifth inning, when one runner
crossed the plate. Roth singled through
short, went to second on Delmas' sac
rifice, and to third when Waring was
thrown out at first by Hester Nagle
hunted to Boardman, who threw per-
fectly to first, but Danzig obligingly
forgot to touch the bag and the judge
was safe, Roth scoring meantime.
Sacramento came back in the sixth and
tied the score. With one down, Shinn
singled over Nagle'S head TO center
and went to second when Van Buren,
drove a hot liner to Nagle that could
not be handled in time for an out.
Perry flew to DAILY and Danzig singled
TO Murphy. who made perfect return
to the plate, but Waring dropped the
ball after tagging Shinn, the run count
ing. In their half of the sixth the An
gels settled the argument by untlelng
the count with a majority OF one ana
ending all further scoring. wheeler
was safe on Boardman's low throw TO
Danzig, who juggled with the ball un-
til Pop could touch the bag. Dillon
sacrificed and Murphy singled to left,
Wheeler beating out the return of the
ball because Baum ran in and caught 1t
and retired Murphy at second. Wheel
er would have been out at the plate, as
the return was perfect and would have
beaten Wheeler home by at least ten
feet.
Sacramento looked a bit dangerous In
the eighth, and only the fact that two
hands were down prevented the game
going into extra innings. Van Buren,
raised a high, long one to deep right,
far away from both Daily and Bernard.
The latter made a great run and would
have scored an out had he been able to
STAY on his feet, but he stumbled and
fell headlong just as the ball was fall
ing into his mitts, and the elusive
sphere barely touched his fingers,
glancing off to the Chutes gate as Ber-
ME fell hard. Van scooted like scared
hare and got to third, but Perry could
do him no good, Cap Dillon handling
his grounder perfectly for the third out.
The second game of the series will be
played this afternoon at the Chutes,
when it is probable that Thorsen and
Nourse will be pitted against each
other.
Following is the tabulated score:
