Second j game Los Angeles 8, Seattle 7 i (11 innings). ! Special to The Tribune, j LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2S. With Wash ington park sponged out sufficiently to i permit of athletes of Vernon and Salt I Lake clubs to resume the series, which ! had been called off long enough to allow the rain to extinguish the forest fire, two games were played, and the finish found ' the visitors on the short end of two moist and dripping scores, 4 to 3 and 2 to 0. This gives the Tigers five of six games for the week and enables them to keep hot on the trail of the leaders. Up in Seattle Killefer's men could hear the echo of the Tigers racing through the mud, and this spurred them into winning two games. The series here was to have consisted of eight contests, but the Saturday Sat-urday section of it, containing a double-header, double-header, was washed away, and probably will not be recovered until the water recedes next summer. All Alike to Tigers. Smarting under what he termed the criticism of the press, Herr shot In Merkle and Gould, his star gunners. This gave the Tigers a chance to trim something worth while and they are capable of trimming that kind of pitchers when they take a notion to go after them. But Herr is mistaken about having been criticised. Some of the games which his team played earlier in the week did not require criticism; the scores spoke for themselves. Finneran flung the fogy frontpiece and the closing chapter was chucked by Deli. Joe, although good enough to win, did not pitch with the effectiveness that he shows on clear days. While Finneran floundered around in the mud he could feel the goo oozing Into the top of his shoes and this seemed to depress him in mind and soul. On the other hand, Pell in some respects resembles a burglar bur-glar the darker it is, the better he works. With the clouds hanging low his fast ball could be heard but not seen. The "plef"' of it as it imbedded itself in DeVormer's muggy mitt came with monotonous mo-notonous regularity in the wake of Salt Lake swings. In the third he whiffed Smith, Mulvey and Fitzpatrick with one hand. Thanks to the industrious sponging of the park's interior, the grounds were in better shape than had been thought possible, pos-sible, although still so heavy that doubles dou-bles and triples went for more singles. Here and there were patches of sawdust. Ernie Opens It. Johnson gave the Bees their first run. He singled in the opening inning, stole second and went to third on a single by Krug. Sheoly followed with a walk. Smith popped to Mitchell for the second sec-ond out. V.'ith the bases full. Finneran passed Mulvey. forcing in a run. Vernon got two in the same frame. Mitchell singled to right and Chadbourne bunted successfully. Meusel drove to Markle. who threw late to force Mitchell I at third. Borton banged the ball into a double play, Markle to Byler to Sheely. This left two on, and Eddington scored both with a single shot to center. Salt Lake tied It in the fifth on Mag-gert's Mag-gert's double and safeties by Krug and Sheely. Krtig planted a double behind Johnson's John-son's single in the seventh, putting Salt Lake one run In front. Vernon evened It again In the same inning, when Meusel Meu-sel singled with two down, swiped second sec-ond and registered on another single by Eddlngton. Borton's big bludgeon ended all doubt in the ninth. Mitchell opened the fag frame with a single and Chadbourne sacrificed sac-rificed him to second. Meusel was purposely pur-posely passed. This suited Borton, who belted one away out between Mulvey and Maggert. He might ordinarily have run it into a triple, for It was a great wallop; wal-lop; but Mitchell was across the plate before he reached second. Second a Shutout. Vernon put the second game away in tho first Inning without realizing it. The Tigers got one run and that was sufficient suffi-cient for Dell. Gould opened the game with a walk to Mitchell and then fanned Chadbourno. Meusel singled to center and Mitchell went around to third while Maggert was, grovelling In the mud for the pill. Borton walked, filling the sacks, and Eddlngton Bcored Johnny with a long fly to Maggert. who had to shag tho bail a long distance before making the catch. High grounded to Gould. Another walk by Gould germinated Vernon's second run. This happened in the sixth and Chadbourne was tho recipient. re-cipient. Meusel's single advanced him to second and he took third on Borton's out. Then Eddington that Tiger sure-shot sure-shot with men on bases lammed safe to right, counting Chadbourne. Spencer was the only visitor to reach third base, and It required a double as a sacrifice that did not sacrifice and another an-other out to get him that far. The sacrifice sac-rifice did not sacrifice because the going was so heavy for Spencer that he hesitated hesi-tated to go from second to third. Tub simply cannot shimmie on a sacrifice In the mud.
