VILLAGERS ARE
STILL IN FRONT
Break Even with Angels in Double
Header by Winning Rally
in Last Game
HIT HAS ONE BAD INNING
Has Better of Tozer in Classy
Pitching Duel in After
noon Contest
BY JAY DAVIDSON

Vernon won the series from the An
gels by splitting even yesterday in
the double header that wound up their
present engagement. Vernon was off
its feed in the morning and lost to 1,
but took the afternoon game to 8.
The Angels were very confident of TAX
ing the series after they had overcome
their jinks at Vernon park, but two
miffs by Daley and an error by Bern
ard, who was playing first for Cap
Dillon in the ninth, enabled the Cutups
to take the odd in seven games played.
Wheeler, the crack all-round utility
man of the Angel aggregation, was the
assassin of the Vernon jinks, being sent
in by Dillon to pitch the morning game,
and he put everybody in a fine humor
by holding the Cutups safe enough
to land the Angels in front by to
score. He pitched fine ball, after hay
ing been out of the box for several
months, and hereafter will be given
d regular turn on the mound Brack-
enridge tossed for Vernon, but was
not in form, allowing eleven hits in
addition to making two of the three
errors charged up to his team.
The morning game was a fast and
classy exhibition all the way. The
three errors charged up to Vernon were
pulled by the pitcher with two, and
Martinke, in left, with one. The infield
put up a beautiful game all the way
Los Angeles was much faster in the
field than the Vernon outfit, making
only one misplay and pulling off two
double plays, Howard making one of
them unassisted. BY winning the
morning game the Angels eVened up on
the series and went into the afternoon
ed
would win it, too, and take the series.
With Tozer and Hit the opposing
pitchers, it seemed certain that it
would be a classy contest and such it
proved to be.
VERNON STARTS IN FRONT
Vernon started off in the lead with
one run, scoring in the opening round.
The Angels tied the score in the third
and Vernon united it in the fourth
Both pitchers settled down to hard
work and there was no more scoring
until the seventh, when the Angels
went into the lead by scoring twice.
In the eighth Vernon tied up the count
once more and in the ninth they put
over two runs and cinched the game
by holding the Angels hitless and run
less in their half of the inning.
Two errors account for the one run
scored by the Villagers in the first inn
ing. Carlisle got to first on Howard S
tumble of his grounder. Kitty Brash-
ear singled through the pitchers box
to short center and Martinke forced
Carlisle at third, Roth unassisted, as
Carlisle was unusually slow in getting
away from second. Roy Brashear sac
Roth to Dillon. Coy strolled on
four wide ones and Lindsay got to
first when Howard threw high and
wide to first, forcing Dillon to get off
the bag to field the ball. Kitty Brash
ear put on steam and shot his big
frame over the pan while Dillon was
trying to pull the high throw out of
the comets tail. Fisher struck out
The Angels were unable to get a hit
off Hit until the third, when they land
ed safely once and scored upon it and
the assisting error of Hogan. Delmas
went out to infield and Orendorff drew
a pass. Tozer singled to right, but was
forced at second by Daley, Orendorff
going to third on the play. Daley start
ed to steal second and Hogan threw
the ball poorly to catch him, Orendorff
racing home on the throw. 1t was a
rare exhibition of boneheaGedness or
of the sort by Hogan and
he was roundly llidded for it by the
fans. Ross struck out and made Happy
in the knowledge that if he
had held onto the ball the run would
have been avoided.
In their half of the fourth the Cutups
landed on Tozer for pair of singles
and united the score by registering
once. Fisher opened the inning with a
single to short center. Hogan sacri-
feed and Hit was thrown out at first
by Howard, Fisher going to third
Carlisle singled to right and Fisher got
home before the ball had ceased to
bound on its way to Ross.
VERNON MAKES FINISH
With the score to l against them,
the Angels resurrected their lucky
seventh" mascot and made a rally that
put them in front for the first time dur
ing the game. 1t was the last time
too, by the way, Hit loosened up a
bit and gave up three hits, one of
them a double, and a free ride to first,
which were turned into two runs. Dill
went out to the iHaeld and Murphy fol-
lowed with high bounder to Kitty
Brashear, who ran in too far and the
ball bounced over his head to short left
This error did not amount to much
however, as Murphy was caught snooz-
ing off first and sent to the bench.
With two out it did not look very much
like a lucky seventh, but Roth was
passed to first and followed by Delmas,
who singled cleanly to right Then,
OrendOrff slammed the ball against the
fence for two bases and
Roth and Delmas rOmped to the regis !
tering station. Tozer could not dupli-
