COMEDY OF ERRORS
LANDS FOR SEALS
Harry Sutor Pitches First Game, but
Contest Is Almost a Bloomer

:: When Danny Longs speed boys took
q fan out OF the Angels yesterday aft
ernoon at Recreation park they COM
forted the "kiddies" who secured en-
trance to the bleachers free of charge.
But TO the veteran ball fan it was like
taking a dose Of salts to have to watch
= game of bush league caliber.
There were errors galore There was
some erratic hitting. There was lot
Of Sensational fielding. interspersed with
enough dump play 10 give Mr. Dooley
nausea But there was some satisfac-
tion 10 all, for san Francisco had the
Tong end Of a > 10 3 score when the bell
rang and the curtain came down.
Naturally there were plenty OF eX
clses for that double quartet and one
Of errors that were scattered over the
afternoons play. The blame for the
=: ma 5ority Of them was laid upon the
Wind. 1t blew a perfect gale, and the
way Il frisked that ball around was
sufficient to make National leaguers
look like corner lot players.
But the errors would not have been
50 apparent had they been sort Of
spread around. Instead they came in
.bunches, and no wonder the fans
. moaned.
ERRORS FROM START
Right at the very start there was a
presentation made to Berry's men when
Kid Nohler got his hooks on an easy
drive from Daley's bat and tossed II
. around like a hot muffin, instead of
lining 1t over to the initial sack This
was followed by fuzzle by Witt of
Bernard's tap, and a subsequent passed
ball allowed Daley TO come across with
the first Angel tally. Then it was that
everybody realized that the game was
certain TO develop into a comedy Of
errors.
But the contest improved in spots
only to decline again at the most mop
perfume moments.
The Seals were made a present of a
run in the opening inning when Witt
started with a walk, stole two bases
and crossed the pan on Tenants two
saEger TO deep right field. In the sec
ord inning Melchior started away with
= nit to right, stole second and scored
on McArdle's drive to short left field.
IT was then that the scoring ceased
for time but the Angels got energetic
in the fifth spasm, but only because the
seals went into sort of lethsrgy from
which they could not be awakened un-
III two runs had been chalked up. Del

double steal that might have looked
good in Oshkosh, but it was entirely
out of place at Recreation park. With

second bag that sent the pair on bases
home comfortably.
PITCHER KLEIN WILD
with the score 5 to 2 in the Angels
favor the big crowd seemed disconso-
1.fe IT was in the sixth that the ice
was broken. Pitcher Klein developed d
sort OF wiidness that is Characteristic
~ Youngsters. He walked a couple
and then endeavored to be careful and
Nelchfor sandwiched in a hit. Captain
-Dfflou donated an error and the entire
combination netted three tallies.
II might have been more, consider
ably more, had not Tenant driven

for Murphy TO start a fast double play.

had Howard moved a little faster and
cot the bali TO the plate an instant
sooner In was the one great fielding
feature that saved the game from being
a real bloomer.
The game wandered along rather
.frnlessly from that point to the finale,
with very little action 10 recommend it
II was a battle between the south
nav and incidentally a duel between q
.,ounester and an old stager. Sutor,
maj great left hand twirler, who was
sfbe sensation here two years ago,
,,ftcbed hts initial game in Seal uni
form this season. Stacked up against
Ain was the boy wonder. Eddie Klein
% Alameda.
Sutor pitched nice, consistent bail
ana was never IN serious difficulty.
KLEIN was continually getting in diff
cnlties. from which he generally failed
~ extrfcate himself He went so far
one time as TO make a balk that proved
--sthsr costly. But Klein is young. and,

.be rnalxings Of a right clever pitcher.
All he needs is seasoning.
