LOS ANGELES LOST.


The Angel City's BAH Players Surrender
to The AIas.
There was large attendance at the Park
yesterday afternoon to witness the game
between the Los Angeles Baseball Club,
which is making a pleasure trip through
the State, and the Atlas. The visitors are
a good-looking, well-bebaved body of
young men, who made a fine appearance
on the diamond in their neat uniform, and
played the game to the best of their ability,
without growl from first to last 1t was
not a very brilliant game though there
was some fine playing, but the spectators
were much pleased with it because of the
quiet, business-like manner in which it
was conducted, the decision of the umpire
being unquestioned while the players were
applauded impartially, according to the
merit of their performance. Waldbridge
and Munroe, constituting the Los An
geles battery, are a strong team, cool
and effective, but they are both
a little sore from too frequent PLAYING
lately, and could scarcely do themselves
justice yesterday, Waldbridge especially, a
sore finger interfering with his ball Twill
ing. The game showed that the club ex-
GELS as swift base-runners, and are good
throwers and felders, but lacking in abil-
ity at the bat. In the first inning, Bor-
cheers, who occupied the box for the Atlas,
seemed to be unable to control the ball,
and gave the first five men bases, two of
them scoring. He pitched twenty balls be-
fore q strike was called. The spectators
became worried and then disguised, and
calls for new pitcher were loud and fire.
quent Finally he began TO " get the hang
OF II, and famed out two men, who were
not paying close attention to duty, beley-
ing that he never would be able to send
three balls out of nine over the plate. The
side finally was put out by Flint's splendid
running catch of Georges hit to center
field which made the friends of the Atlas
feel little better After that the Los An
geles nine were unable to make run, and
probably, but for Borcher's lack of prac-
tce, they would have had nothing to show
on their score but nine goose eggs. In the
fifth inning, BOrcher5 made a good hit to
center field and gained the third base. from
which Fisher brought him in by a driver
to the same locality. 1t was safe hit for
two bags, but Fisher was ambitious to
make three, and was put out. Newbert
got his first on being hit by the pitcher
but trying to run home on Hilbert's fly to
left field, got caught. In the sixth inning
Meagher got his base on balls, and crossed

ger. Mclaughlin brought in Robertson,
and subsequently teased the visitors into
throwing the ball to catch him away from
bases, and eventually scored on an over
throw. With a score of 1 to ., the Atlas
chances seemed good, but they improved
them by two more runs in the seventh inn
ing, when Meagher hit to right field and
brought in Hilbert and Ahern. He thought
he saw chance to get home himself by
stealing in from third, but the Los Angeles
battery caught him in the act. In the
eighth inning Newbert sent the ball into
center field and brought in BorcheIs, and
the game closed with the Atlas I, and Los
Angeles 2, the home club having an inning
to spare. The visitors would have been
credited with one more run but for the fact
that Monroe, who succeeded in crossing the
plate in the eighth inning, had failed to
touch third base en- route. A fine catch of
high foul was made by Mclaughlin in
the eighth inning, and a long throw by
Flint from center field to catcher, by which
q runner was put out at home, was an in
cident Of the game. The following is the
