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.
