At Salt Lake Los Angeles 3, Salt Lake 4. At Los Angeles Oakland 3, ;Vernon 4 (ten innings). At San Francisco Portland 4, San Francisco 5 (ten innings). Today's game begins at 3 o'clock. Il-1 we were going to have an election for governor or mayor tomorrow, or a beauty contest or something, Dutch K la wi t tc r would win hands il o v n . Dutch is the most popular man in town by long odds. He can have anything he wants, even unto the keys of the city. "Dutch's popularity is deserved. Tn fact, it is well deserved. Didn't Dutch win a ball game yesterday with a home run drive in the ninth inning? "Weren't there two on bases at the time, and didn't Dutch score them both as well ns himself? Didn't those three runs win a game that looked hopelessly lost? Sure. Refuses Real Money. And after he did all those things Dutch did something almost unheard ot in the baseball fraternity. He refused real money. K very body was yelling and shouting and screaming and sinking and hooting and hollering when Dutch eame across the plate following close upon the heels of Downey ami Hannah. About fifty feilows grabbed Dutch and began shoving coins into his hands. Dutch raised a deprecating hand, but the crowd won lun 't have it. Tlny surrounded sur-rounded IHitc h twenty deep all around and rushed him over "to the grandstan.l where a lot of people were poking dollar dol-lar pieces and half dollar pieces ami quarters and bills through the win-screen. win-screen. Dutch protested that he didn't want, the money. He didn't think it right to take it. He had only done his duty ss he saw it. The club paid him . for his services and it wasn't right to take money from the fans. Oh. it v,i , .mo protest. Dut Dutch's frieniis insisted, and he finally was pushed anil hauled alonjr the screen and cashed in. Owing tn the in-w in-w tensity of the excitement nobody knows I ' I I how much kale Dutch raked in, but there was quite a bunch. It was up to Dutch to win that ball St me and up to Dutch alone, for it. was utc.h who gave Los Angeles two runs in their half of the ninth. First Dutch dropped a thiow when he covered first aud a little while afterwards he heU; j the ball fatally long when Hannah tried to break up a double steal. Therefore, There-fore, it was up to Dutch to make atonement, atone-ment, and make it he did. It should be inserted along about here that the score was 4 to 'A in favor of 8aJt Lake. In the bewilderment caused by Dutch 's thrilling feat wo had almost al-most forgotten it. Another thing that should be inserted along about here is mention of the fact that a very largo nnmher of folks in the grandstand pulled a mental boner maybe that's the only kind of a boner there is but this was' different from the ord inary kind of boner that we expect of ball "players. After Hannah had reached first on his single in (he ninth and Klawitter had taken his stand at the plate. Hlank-onship Hlank-onship tried to stop the game long enough to insert Fitterv ns a runner for Hannah, but he didn't succeed. Most every bod v thought that Blank en ship wanted to send in a hitter for Dutch, and that's where they didn't guess right. Dutch is too good a hitter at anv stutre of the game to be lifted for a pinch hi tter, and besides, his pitching was needed in that game in case the score should be tied. Rube Ellis's Feats. Kube Kllis, single handed, staved off a severe beating for his club at two different times. Tn the fifth the Saints li ad the bases f u II and t wo we re ou t . Brief rammed a hummer into left. It looked a cinch for a two-basher, but Ivube. after a marvelous run, laj-ed for the ball and speared it just as it was about to hit th fence. Kube repeated in the next inning when Hannah crashed one into left with two on bae-. There was a lot of hitting all around. I but remarkably fast fielding on both sides liet the runners nw.iv from the plate. There were four double pin vs. two by ea.'h club. Pair Lake had dou- ! ble plays in both the first and seond ; inning--, in each case runners dyin at! third. " ' j There were ever so many lime? when! (Continued on Following Tagcj vl DUTCH IVIfiS WITH swat ee FENCE (Continued From Preceding Page.) it looked as though one side or the other was jjoinij to score a lot of runs and consequently the fans were in n, state of nervousness hilarity or depression in almost every inning. Sail Along at Tie. Each club scored in the third inuing, and thereafter until the ninth there was 110 more counting. At the end of the eighth inning a perfect tie existed. Each club had one run, each had eight hits, each hail one error. To make it still more a tie, each first baseman had ten putouts. The Angels scored their run in the third on Butler :s double, Standridge "s sacrifice and Mngcert's single. The locals tied it in their half.
