day, Captain Glenalvin pulled out
very large envelope. 1t appeared to
contain something very important as
there were many multi colored stamps on
the outside. II have something to read
to you," said the Los Angeles skipper
in voice that wonld have done for
Marc Anthony when he made the ora
ton over C@sar's body. "This letter
comes from high plenipotentiary of the
Sandwich islands. It is an invitation to
spend the winter at the royal palace at
Honolulu. The Angels are to be the
guests of Queen Liliuokalani, and our
boys are to play ball. on the turf dia-
mond in the land of Aloho Nui and
eternal sunshine. This all goes if
we win the pennant." This last etipu-
latiOn was the one that broke the cam
els back. Pop McCauley had al
ready conjured up the bliss of spending
the moonlight nights escorting some
languishing, dusky skinned beauty un-
der the fragrant tropical trees which
line the sidewalks of Honolulu, and
when the last condition of the letter was
promulgated, Pop never smiled again.
Whether this letter had any effect on
the Angels or not, they certainly played
ball like champions yesterday afternoon
and won after a highly exciting game
by score of to O.
O'Brien, the second baseman, con-
nected with one of Roach's curves and
the ball went whizzing in the direction
OF the left field. Tredway saw the sphere
coming and he made dash after it. 1t
was great race. Tredway was fairly
flying through the space that inter-
vened. The spectators watched the
fight through the air of the Los Angeles
left fielder, and more than one remarked,
"He can never get it," 1t certainly
looked that way, as the ball was within
few feet OF mother earth, but Tredway
made an herculean and final effort.
With lightning movement he stretched
out his right hand and grabbed the
Spaulding article while going at full
speed. 1t was a phenomenal catch,
and Tred was rendered a perfect ova-
tion. This all took place in the eighth,
when the Colonels were making strenu-
GUS efforts to get in run. This was not
the only sensational feature of the
game. Newman made great running
catch, as also did "Rasty" Wright. Old
Pop" pulled in hot liner in national
league style, at a time when it looked as
II the Colenels might score. If yester-
days work is sample, the Angels
have made wonderful improvement in
team work, and the outfeld showed to
be very much faster than many sticklers
have been willing to admit.
O'Neill, the rosy-cheeked son of Phil
adelphia, was in the box for the Colo
nels, as German was not feeling verv
we'll. Tip chewed gum and pitched good
ball-rattling good ball. The Angels
only found him for FIVE hits, but Tips
usual luck stayed with him and with
the bases full in the sixth he gave Has
amaear his base on balls, thus forcing
in run which. by the way, was the
only run made during the game. Roach
pitched splendidly. He used more judg-
ment than speed and, after the third
inning, only one hit was registered
against him.
The contest was full of snap. The
Colonels played an admirable game,
outside of Whitehead and Turner, and
twice they were prevented from making
the circuit of the bases by the clever
work of the local felders. Both teams
were out in rapid order in the first in
nings. The second essay on both sides
was even shorter. In the fifth only
three men came to bat on either side.
The Angels looked as if they would get
several tallies in the sixth, but the
Colonies got out of tight place, Tred
way being forced home as narrated.
In the eighth, Hasamaear made q
two-bagger, but as there were already
two outs, he failed to get any further
along the circle. The Angels failed to
tally in the ninth, and the Colonels
made desperate attempt to score.
Carroll lined out the sphere in gallant
style. 1t did not quite make the fence,
and Tredway captured it in his usually
brilliant style. 1t was then all over
with the Colonels. The score tells the
story of the best game this season.
