Show I BEES WIN OPENING GAME FROM VERNON BY SCORE 3 TO 1 I TIGERS LOSE TO I BEESJNOPENER H Leverenz Too Much for Ver- H non Boys Score Is 3 to 1 H for Salt Lake Team. H LOS ANGELES, May 1. Bounded H on tho north, south, cast and west by H charloyhorso, influenza, floating cartl- H leges, spike wounds, tonsllitls, epi- H zootlc and other ailments to which H mortal flesh is heir, the Tigers went H out and lost the ball game today to j the Bees, 3 to 1. H Walter Loverenz was too stout for H the lame, the halt and the blind who H compoho our ball team at the piesenl H writing. Walter southpawed the Sto- H valhtes back to their seats with three H hits. One of these was delivered by H tho "firebrand," who emerged from the H coat collar and scuttled Leverenz for H a double. This gave the Tigers their m only tally. The other two hits, made H by Galloway and McLariy, were nulh- H fied by the usual double play. The Hj Bees were there with the two-ply trick H three times. They are a great team H in this lespect and can1 make double H plays with, one hand tied behind them. H Two southpaws in one game is too H many, and today it was Decannieie who provided the surplus. It is hardly I within tho bounds of reason to expect two left-handers to show good control in tho ono afternoon or keep their passes scatteiod. Frank made the mistake mis-take of his life by bunching thiee of h his walks in the third, in addition to M bombarding a batter in the ribs. These H items, coupled with the fact that Tobin M and Orr stung him for singles, ac- H counts for Salt Lake's score. At no M other time was Bernhard's gang H threatened with a run. H Tobln Hits 'Em. M Decannierc was not hit hard except m by Tobin, but Jack fully made up for M the shortcomings of his mates. To the M eighth Inning only five batters hit ; Dccannicro and four of these was To- : bin. Jack missed fire only the last R time up, having completely exhausted H his arms hitting the pill. M Prior to the game the players of the H Vernon club presented Stovall a May B basket. It was a large basket, beautl- M fully garnished with young onions and M asparagus, and contained a bushel of fl potatoes. H Decanniere first departed from the M path of rectitude by soaking Hannah ' in the third, This with q. walk to 1 Leverenz and Tobln's customary hit, H filled the bases. Another pass to Rath H pioved one too many and forced H "Tiuck" upgrade to the home plate. H Sheeley flied to Mattick, Leverenz H also had seen reports in tho newspa- H pers of "Chick's" great throwing, re- 1 btramed himself and did not try to , 1 score from third. Captain Ryan drove to Callahan, who whipped to Mitzo, H forcing Leverenz. Shinn walked and H Tobin was crowded across. Orr flashed ' 1 a single to left, scoring Rath. Chad- j bourne celebrated his first appearance H as a Tiger by throwing Ryan out at ( H the pan. Buddy was endeavoring to H score on the hit. H Vernon's One Run. H Mitze walked in the eighth. With H one gone, Stovall, who has been toss- H ing on a bed with tonsllitls, with Spar- H tan-like courage, removed himself from l tho bench and batted for Decanniere. jl The "firebrand" tore off a handsome h double to left, which is pretty fair for i H a sick man. Mitze galloped to third ' H on the double. Daley, batting for Chad- ' H bourne, went out on a grounder to ' m Leverenz, Mitze scoring.
