UITS CLASS A McCredie Shifts to Town Team and Beavers Receive , Drubbing. KRATZBERG IS WHIRLWIND Seven Regulars Are Fanned in Five Innings, When Van Ryan. Goes Into Box Tall Manager Well Pleased Willi' Xew Men. ' SANTA MARIA, Cal., March 6. (Spe cial.) Manager McCredie put one over on Captain Casey today, for instead of playing- with the Regulars, as he an nounced the night before, the tall man ager took charge of the Yannigans, which club beat Casey's team by the Overwhelming score of 8 to 0. Casey's Regulars comprised a couple of Santa Maria boys, and he says "Mac" slipped over a lemon on him. McCredie delegated Ben. Kratzberg to' pitch for the Yannigans for the first five in nings, and during, that time the big Kansas boy "smoked" them through so fast Casey's bunch could hardly see the ball. Kj-atzberg fanned seven In five In nings and did not allow the Regulars the slightest chance for a score. The nearest Casey came to negotiating a run was when Armbruster hit for two bases In the third inning and went to third on an error by Fisher. Kratzberg fanned Lodell and Perrine, ending the chance. . -. V Kratzberg Proves Hard Hitter. In addition to pitching like a whirl wind. Kratzberg distinguished himself by rapping out the longest of the three homeruns chalked up by the Yannigans today. He clouted the ball out of the lost as the first man up in the fifth inning. Joe Kmlfh knocked the ball out of the lot as the first man up In the fifth inning. Joe Smith knocked the ball out of the lot in the seventh, ad Howard Guyn cleared the barrier with a drive in the eighth. Kratzberg's homer was negotiated off Jesse Gar rett, -while the two latter were made off the pltching of Tom Seaton. Both teams fielded fast and fairly accurate, though some of the pitchers playing out of position were bothered some in fielding ground balls. Dan Ryan, who followed Kratzberg on the mound. Is also a big strapping fellow, and he depended upon steam to baffle Casey's bunch. Kratzberg was found for four hits and Ryan for three. McCredie thinks both will make good early. Several fast double plays served to liven up the matinee, and the big Saturday crowd present enjoyed the game Immensely. . Casey Wants Another Chance. .Some of the spectators took a de light in kidding Casey over the manner : In which McCredie put one pver the doughty little captain., uasey a no ' will play McCredie's bunch again Mon day, and stipulates thatMac" cannot have any- other players but the men '.who worked today, Casey reserving the right to claim George Ort and the other playerB due here last night. McCredie's bunch got to Garrett in the first inning, when they scored four runs on four hits and errors by Seaton and Turk. In the fourth inning Jesse was hit in the breast by one of Kratzberg's wild shoots, and ho was far from effective ' In the fifth inning. Seaton succeeded him on the mound in the next inning, and was also treated to a drubbing by the Yannlgan batters. Lodell, Casey and Perrine put up a sensational fielding game, while a one handed catch of a line drive by Guya proved the fielding feature.
