Tho on game played In the afternoon went to I ,os Angelas, 2 to L . Sovc! thousand Inns saw the Angels go into a tie for f i tt place. It was a bitter Htrugglii between Otu Crandall and Walter Wal-ter J A-veivnz. It wuh tho first game Leverenz has worked In more than a month, during whirh tiuui he has lu-cn nursing a lame arm. Today he appeared to bo in his old -time to rin, and it" , his show ing this afternoon is an indication of ins future t-ift'ctivoricHs the Luus will bo pennant! contenders, Indeed. liolh clubs counted In t lie first. The pa mo 1 1 if u hung on an even keel until - the seventh, when l.os Angeles came across with tho winning run. Tho Angela owe their victory lo the superb slab work of Crainlall and tho hitting of Fabrique, : who eainu through witli a triple and a; double at opportune moments. Lovereuz was hit villi some vigor, and j for no less than five extra base blows, j He gummed up his own prospeets with I two passes in one inning, yet to score on him was almost ;is tough as pulling I Htumps. Among the Important developments develop-ments was the reinstatement of Ellis as n hitter. Rube oiled himself for "Ellis day" Thursday with two singles. Rumler Hurt Again. Cmndall didn't look like a good prospect at the start, when he hit Maggert. Krug sacrificed and Rumler rammed a single, counting Maggie. K under was flagged stealing by Holes. Hill slid into second on lis sprained wrist and sprained it some more. i Killefer, who is an osteopath on tho; hide, came in and treated the wrist, lie ; gave it h professional yank, looked wise and hinted at a bone being out of place. , It is believed Red was spoofing Kumler, ; but the psychological effect was there audi Hill left the game. With Rumler removed, j Sheely emitted a harmless single and Johnson grounded to Hates. With one down in the homo half, Fabrique Fab-rique belted a triple to left and rode home on a double bv Bates. Crawford and Boles got nothing except a time at bat. Decided in Seventh. Tt looked as though tho Amrels might j put the skids under Leverenz in the sec-! ond. After Kemvorthy had been retired,; - , Ellis singled. Lev ere nz then passed N!e-hot'f N!e-hot'f and crandall with his left hand, stocking the parks. Killefer proved that there is more than one man on the Los Angeles club who can hit into a double play, by doing so. Johnson went up in the air and made a beautiful step of his sharp bounder, d ranging one foot across the base, forcing Doc, and doubled Red at first. Crawford clouted for two bases in the ; third and Boies singled infield. Two were out and Ken worthy made it three. A pass to Crandall. first up in the seventh, swelled into the winning run. Killefer sacr! fieed, Fabrique fashioned a . ' double to left on a ball that was partly misjudged by Fitzpatriok and loc drove home with Lis own i;ame. Bates whiffed f , and Crawford tapped to the infield for an out at first. The Bees were unable to reach Crandall Cran-dall with their bats in the eighth and ninth. 1 .everenz got two of Salt Lake's hits. He did this by bunt ing to Xiehoff. who ' did not suspect Walter of containing this kind of guile. Leverenz was so pleased with himself that he ran aimost to the rUht feuru. Today's victory give; tiie Angels four of the' six irames played. The seventh vii', be played tomorrow. |
