mento by the one-sided score of to
4, and won a game that was featured
by rotten fielding by the Angels and
lucky batting. Thorsen pitched a
great game, striking out seven Sena-
tors and allowing four free rides to
first in addition to ten hits that he
kept fairly well scattered With any
thing like decent support in the field,
he would have made a much better
showing. However, Sacramento start
ed off in the lead and then got sound
drubbing, so it does not matter much
about the errors.
Five of the ten hits that Sacramento
got off Thorsen came in the first two
innings. Two in the first, with a
brace of errors, netted one run. Three
hits in the second netted two runs.
Los Angeles made one in the fourth
without hit, and took the lead in
the fifth, when they scored four runs
off three hits. From the fourth inning
on, the Angels never let a session pass
without scoring In the fifth, after
four runs were scored, Graham got
tired of Hunts services and chased
him to the bench, sending Nourse in
to take his place. Nourse could not
hold the Angels down, while Thorsen
was getting good and was a big enig-
ma to the Senatorial batters.
Sacramento started off like sure win
ners, scoring one in the opening inning
on two hits and two errors. Shinn
singled to center and went on to second
when the ball got away from Daley
Van Buren sacrificed, putting Shinn
on third, and the shortstop scored
when Delmas juggled Perry's drive
In the second inning the Senators made
it look all the more threatening by
hanging out another tag with two runs
on its Thomas singled down to Delmas
territory Raymer famed and Hunt
hit to right for base, putting Thomas
on second. Shinn drew a pass, filing
the bases, and Van Buren, singled over
second, scoring Thomas and Hunt. Up
to this time the Angels had been un-
able to do anything with Hunt S
curves.
In the fourth the Angels put over
their first run without a hit being
scored against Hunt. Hallinan walked
and took second on a passed ball. He
went to third on Dillons sacrifice and
scored on Murphy's out to the infield
The fifth inning settled the hash for
Sacramento, when four runs were
chased over the pan. Delmas walked,
Smith famed and Thorsen tore off
a single to center that forced Hunt to
sidestep and do an awaiting stunt to
avoid sending Delmas to second. Da-
ley famed and Dillon sent Howard in
to bat for Ross. Howard was hit and
the bases were groaning with a full
house. Hallinan then made himself
solid with the fans by driving the ball
into deep center for three bases, send
ing Delmas. Thorsen and Howard
home. Dillon showed his appreciation
of this stunt by scoring HALEY, old
boy, with a drive to center. This put
Los Angeles two runs to the good.
Sacramento fluked in a run without a
hit in the sixth and then laid down and
quit scoring for the balance of the
afternoon. Raymer got down to first
on Delmas' error went to second on
Thorsen's wild throw to first and
scored on Delmas' wild throw to Dill
Ion to catch Van Buren,, who went to
second.
In their half the Angels made up
for the unearned run scored by Sacra-
mento. Murphy doubled to center and
took third on Roth's sacrifice scoring
on Delmas' sacrifice. Although the
score stood to 4 in favor of the An
gels, the home boys kept up the bonn
bardment, just to make Nourse feel
bad, and scored another in the sew
enth. Thorsen walked and took sec
ond on Daley's sacrifice and scored on
Howard's double to right. Just to rub
it in, the Angels put over two more
in the eighth, their last time at bat
After Murphy was retired Roth singled
to center and scored on Delmas triple
to right. Smith was an easy out, but
Thorsen again singled, this time to
left, and Delmas scored, with the score
3 to 4, the Angels let up in their bonn
bardment and were retired when Halli-
nan famed with the bases full.
The same teams will play this after
noon at the Chutes and with Nagle
due to take turn on the slab it looks
mighty bad for Charlie Graham s
bunch. Spider Baum is due to try his
hand again and probably will oppose
the old brain box Score:
