Unhappy Hogan Watches Scalping of His Men by Mohler's Seafs
Jo Biff Succeeds in Getting Himself Into a Hole Instead of Into the Ball Game
LOCALS GET WINDED
CHASING ROUND BASES
Seals Connect for Seventeen Hits and Pile
Up 11-2 Score on Vernonites
WILLIAM J. SLATTERY
The fans are all wondering how It*
was that Vernon won from San Fran
cisco last Wednesday afternoon. Some
of them are saying that It was a fluke,
others maintain that it was baseball
luck, while still others go so far aa to
say that the Seals took pity on the
southerners and Just allowed them to
break. Into the percentage column to
save them from the humiliation** of
being In the six hole too long. All
these theories seemed to go double
▼•hen the crowd woke up to the reali
zation that yesterday's score vrtLM just
as strong as 11 to 2.
And these numbers do' not tell the
story either. Such a slaughter. such>.
jrolnp over, such a glaring finish has
not been. seen on the local field in
many a moon. For a game with a good
start II was th» worst finish that could
possibly have been imagined, and the
joke of the layout was that all the
trouble came in one Inning:, the
seventh, the very MM inning that
brings Pan Francisco more runs than
all the others. .
The big- crowd, for ft numbered all
of 3,000, seemed'to take pity on poor
old Happy Hogan and his followers. At
the outset they were all helping him
Along. They even pulled against their
beloved Seals in an effort to help Ho
gan along:, and for a while it looked
very much as though the southern
tossers would get a shade on th«
break. '
But the awful disaster was pulled
*1» the seventh. The game broke up so
suddenly and m quickly that even the
\>rnon tossers themselves could not
bring their own minds down to the
reasoning point. When half of the
seven runs which piled up in that fatal
spasm had been recorded the fans be
gan to laugh. They forgot all about
their sympathy.
The inning was started by Powell,
who landed on Patterson's error, after
which McArdle and Meichlor singled,
making It a full house with nobody
down. Tennant filed to Carlisle, and
though the ball was right in the Ver
non outfielder's hands, he dropped it.
hut mad© a throw to second, catching
Melchlor. But thla did not stop Powell
from coming In.
Hosp made an awful heave of the
- r.d while they were chasing it
around McArdle found his way home.
"Weaver was right on the job with a
to center, which brought Ten
nant home. Then Mohler hit and Vitt
lift nn<l they pulled a double steal.
Schmidt was kind enough to fly out,
i rry Sutor polished the inning off
with a three bagger to the clubhouse,
sending in Mohler, who was resting on
third.
•his time every member of the
local team was tired out. They simply
ran themselves out of breath. The
game was too tough for them. It was
more real exercise than they ha 4 re
ceived in all their training at Meried
and all their action against both di
visions of the Red Sox.
The bad work of the Vernon aggre
gation was forgotten when the fans
stopped to consider what grand work
the local aggregation was doing all
the time. The only error of the side
was made by Tennant and this did not
count so much after all.
Rutor was in grand form. After
the Villagers had grabbed a. run for
themselves in the opening Inning the
big southpaw put thw screws on, tight,
ened up and they could not get to him
again till th« fourth, when two timely
blngles netted the second and the last
run which were gathered by the south
ern aggregation. Incidentally Sutor
fanned nine men and walked only three,
all of them well spatte-"'' The score:

KLEIN HAS DUCKS
GUESSING AT HIM
Angels Win by Errorless Ball,
While Portland Gets Lone
Run on Scratch
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
I-OS AJTGBLBSk March 31.—Eddie
Klein, formerly of San Francisco, took
his first turn on th^ stub this «ea§on
tod?y and the Angels easily defeated
the Portland team I to 1, in a game
that was featured by eenaational field
ing on both side*.
Klein did not have a bad Inning dur
ing the game and deserved to win by
the shut out route, as he always. held
the Beaver wallopers at his mercy and
received perfect support in the field.
The one run scored by Portland was
of a fluky sort, being the result of a
freakish hit to short right center that
Daley-made a remarkably long run for
but dropped as he fell in catching it.
Klein had not allowed a hit up to
the start of the fourth Inning, when
the score read 0 to 0. but in that round
the Beavers had their only luck in the
game and turned one hit and Rapps
flnky double into one runthe only
one they got during the game.
This seemed to stir the Angel swat
ters to action, for they came back in
their half and tied the score. Akin wu
an easy infield out, but Metzger got
his second hit of the game, a blngle to
left, and Moore, who Is the real thing
In the pinch hitting line, came through
with another in the same spot. Daley
poked a grounder down toward first
and Rapps threw to Peckinpaugh to
force Moore, but Peckinpaugh, in trying
to double Daley at first, threw low and
Metzger registered.
Th« good work continued in the fifth
Inning, after Klein had disposed of the
first three Beavers on the batting list
In their half. Delmas drew a pass and
Deal hit down to Rogers, who threw
a bit high to Pecklnpaugh in an effort
at making a double play, the ball roll
ing several feet away. Delmas con
tinued on to the third base and Peck
lnpaugh recovered the ball and hit
Delmas on the foot in an effort to head
him off at third. Deal going to second
while Peck was avJatlng and trying
to throw the ball away. Smith lifted
a long one to right, which Chadbourn*
gathered In, but could not return to
the plate In time, and Delhi, who was
placed at third to run for Delmaj,
scampered over the plate, giving the
Angels the lead they n«v«r surren
dered. Klein then took part in th« fes
i tivitles by slapping th« spheroid to
j rlg.it for a single that scored Deal.
Archer got In several bad hole* after
ward, but always pulled out. His work
was so ragged, however, that McCredie
recalled him after'the sixth, sending
Koeetner In to bat for him and sub
stituting Arlett, a former central Cali
fornia league heaver. In the seventh.
Arlett got by with the seventh In good
shape/but the Angels' heavy artiller
ists opened up on him In th« eighth and
pounded him for two more timely wal
lops and as many runs. The score:

INTEREST IN AUTO
TRUCKS INCREASES
Commercial Vehicle Now Big
Factor in Motor Car
Industry
By LEON J. PINKSON
The importance of the commercial
vehicle end of the automobile Industry
in California, and especially In this
' city, is ihown by the increased num
ber of makes that are at present being;
handled here. Merchants watching: the j
progress made in the development of |
these trucks and realizing their greater I
efflcfencr over the horsedraxvn vehicle,
even in the hilly section* of the city.
are convinced that motor propelled
wagons are practical and are adopting ,
them quite freely.
C. S.,Richardson of the Reliance au
tomobile company, is very enthusiastic
over the outlook for the large commer
cial car business this season. During
the last week lie delivered two Knox
trucks of two ton and three ton ca
pacity, respectively, to the Western
fish company of this city.
He says: 'The r«»uKs already ob
tained are most gratifying- not only to
ourselves, but to the owner*. During
the first day's tryout the two ton truck
did the work of five wagon*, displacing
I two double teams and three one horse
| wagons. The motor driven truck of
I today has solved the problem of ex
: pedient and economical delivery service
; beyond all question.; of a doubt." ."...,
The Reliance automobile company
has also placed In r cf>mmis%lon for the
Northern California power company a
Detroit electric light delivery wagon,
and report th# sale of a Knox five
passenger touring car to Charles Ward
of Oroville this week.
The latest model of gasoline truck
to enter the local field Is the Mack.
manufactured by the Mack Brothers
motor car company of New York. Her
bert Seller' has been appointed local
representative and associated with him
is Sandy McN'aughton. the prominent
Olympic club * man. The Mack truck
Is built In sizes of from one to ten
tons and ■ comes to the coast with a
big reputation gained in eastern cities.
R-M-F's for Antipodes—During th«*
last week IS car*, both E-M-F ■3<">'s"
and Flanders "20's" were sent to Bris
bane, Australia. Six Flanders "to g'
were sent to Karehi. India, and four
each of E-M-F's and Flanders to points
In China.

Captain P. w. Col«, president of the
