Angels Make 1t Three in Four and
Seem to Have Regained
Batting Eyes

Castleton went on the mound yester-
day for the Angels in the fourth game
of the series between the Los Angeles
and Oakland teams and won, 5 to ?, in
a game where he had to be in good
form to win, and the general verdict
of the fans was that the slender south
paw will do a whole lot toward winning
the pennant for Dillon's squad While
he is not batting fiend, he seems to
have everything else that winning
pitcher should have and the way he
moved down the slugging Commuters
was a joy to the big crowd of faithfuls
that attended. He got high class sup
port in the field and at bat and never
was in danger of making losing
debut
Los Angeles started the run getting
in the opening inning when Daley was
hit, advanced a base on Bernard's sac
riflce, went to third on Howard's IN
field out and scored on Dillons single
to center. Delmas scored another for
our side in the second with a dandy
smash over the left field fence. Then
the Angels slowed down and took
things easy for a while waiting for
Oakland to show some signs of life.
Oakland came through with run in
the third the result of Roth's poor
throw to first of a difficult chance
beat out the throw, but went on to
third while Dillon was running the ball
down. Pearce singled to center and
Maggert went home
Oakland could not tie the score, but
the advantage of to l was not very
big, and in the fourth the Angels pulled
farther away by scoring again. Cap
Dillon tripled to center and scored on
Roth's high bounding chance infield,
Il,
tried to field and let fall between them
until Dillon was safe at home. when
Roth was thrown out at first. Oakland
could do nothing with Castleton's
curves until the ninth, although the
Angels scored again in the sixth and
eighth
In the sixth, after two hands were
down, Murphy almost broke Wares
shns with a hot grounder, which
caromed off to center. Roth singled to
right, putting Murphy on third, and
Delmas raised an easy pop fly to
Wares, who tried to pull off a circus
catch and dropped the ball, Murphy
beating it for the plate while he was
doing this curious stunt. Although
pretty tired of running the bases, the
Angels scored again in the eighth.
Howard raised a high one to deep right
center. the ball bounding behind
short fence and Howard going to third
before the ball could be put back in
play. Dillon raised another high one to
center and Howard scored on the out.
In their half of the ninth, the Com
muters tried to pull off a winning rally
and looked slightly threatening for
time, but only one run was registered.
Hogan singled to center, Cameron flew
to left, Hogan going to second on the
out, and Capron tore a piece of hide off
Dillon's leg with a smashing grounder
to short right, sending Hogan to third.
Swander hit to Howard who tagged
Capron, and Hogan scored on the play.
Maggert few to left and the game was
finished.
The teams go back to the Chutes this
afternoon and will wind up the series
tomorrow with a double-header The
series now stands three to one in favor
of the Angels, and as Tozer will pitch
this afternoon it looks like the Angelic
band would take another. The fans are
not turning out to the Angel series as
they should. and since the team is play
ing great ball now and is well ad-
vanced on it's way to the top it looks
like the fans might loosen up a bit and
encourage the boys with more liberal
attendance.
Following is the tabulated score of
the game yesterday:
