That was the feature of yesterday g
game, Twenty-nine hits we're regis
tered during the eighteen innings. They
were pretty equally distributed between
Los Angeles and San Francisco, but the
former club did the heavy work. When
the last ball was pitched and the usual
cushion battle began, the Angels had
registered to their credit one home run,
four three-baggers, two doubles and q
number Of singles. The contest yester-
day was thoroughly enjoyed by about
1000 people. There were several un-
pleasant features during the game
which are referred to elsewhere. 1t
Yves essentially hitting game, especially
in streaks. The hits came not in single
files, but in battalions. Considering
the terrible fusillading, there were few
errors, while good sharp play charac-
terized the contest in several innings.
Tredway is still on the sick list, and
sin consequence Jimmy Stafford played
lin the field and Roach was in the box.
"Peachblow" Hoffman did the twirling
for the visitors. Both sides were retired
in rapid succession on the first venture.
1t was the same story with the locals
in the next inning. The visitors got in
tally in their half. Spies led off with
hit, and was sacrificed around to third
by Sweeney and Hanley and scored on
Sharpe's two-bagger to the right field
fence.
The score board showed one to moth
ing when the third inning began. The
Angels were speedily retired. In fact,
only nine men were up to the bat on
the first three innings, a state of affairs
that happens very seldom with the Los
Angeles club. The visitors added two
men had been retired. Levy reached
to third on the error of Umpire Nc
Dermott, who allowed foul tip to 60 as
passed ball. 1t was palrable wrong
decision. Levy scored on Spies hit and
another one of the Metrops came home
on Pete Sweeney's two-bagger.
The Angels discovered their batting
eyes in the fourth and Hoffman was
pounded pretty hard. Wright led off
with hit and scored on Jimmy Stat
ford's beauty three-bagger to the fence.
Stafford tailed on Pop McCauley's
three-bagger and the only Pop came
home on Hasamaear's smash to the
right field. Three runs, all earned and
no one out. Matters were GER
tainly assuming black aspect for
the visitors, but no more runs were
made in this innings, Hasamaear being
given out at the home plate. 1t was a
close decision. The visitors got one in
their half. Sharp made three bagger
and reached the home plate on Swee-
ney's base hit.
The score stood to in favor of San
Francisco when the fifth innings began.
Neither side tailed, although the visitors
came very close to it. Sweeney was
given out at the home plate on a grand
throw by Jimmy Stafford. This was
very close decision.
The Angels did some more slugging in
the sixth. Hasamaear started the ball
rolling with home run which almost
went to the center field fence.
1t was magnificent drive. Glen
alvin was caught out. Newman reached
the initial on Peoples wild throw. and
stole second and third and scored on
Rogers timely hit past Peoples. Hulen
got a hit and Roach was caught out
and two Angels Tailed on Midget
Sweeney's muff of Wright's star-gazer.
This was costly error for the visitors.

the seventh. Spies, who reached first
on hit, scored on Hanley's drive to
center field. That was the last tally
made by the visitors.
