It was very thin ice at that, as the later innings proved. Seattle had a lead of 6 to 3 over the vis- itors after their rally in the fourth, but before the game was over Killefer’s tribe had scored two more runs and the fans heaved a sigh of relief when the visitors were disposed of in the final inning.

He is the kind of a man who has made baseball the game that it is—the national sport of the Yanks. Crawford still has a lot of good baseball games left in his system and he will undoubtedly be with the Angels for several seasons. Seattle fans who have seen him play this week like his work and while he is playing with the opposition the boys in the stands are glad to see Sam collect his hits even at the expense of victory for the home squad, still is mighty formidable up at the!

Mur- phy has been on the bench most of the season, but is delivering in fine shape during the last few games in the absence of Claude Derrick. Murphy didn’t play the game he was capable of during the early weeks of the season be- cause of stage fright, but he is turning in his share of the hits and is fielding in Class AA style utes later.
