"There goes another pennant won under
cloud" were Captain Glenalvin's last de-
spairng words as white with rage and
trembling in every limb the doughty base
ball warrior woImed his way through the
eIamoripg mob in the diamond TO the front
of the press box at the winCup. with ap-
proprate pyr0technics, OF yesterdays game
which decided the championship Tor the
first half Of the season.
We've been cruelty robbed" he howled,
.'in the most bare-faced manner, and I'll
leave it to any faiT-minded man on the
worksiit it isn't an outrage"
Those who had placed their money on
the Angels naturally cOncurred in the above.
while those who plunged the other way
were equally as emphatic in denying the
allegation. They even vehemeutly Teiter-
ated the assertion that Carl McNey did
catch the ball, thereby sustaining the um-
pire who was on the point Of peTsplrlng
gore though outwardy calm.
Thus did another season end with an
overflow Of riotous rage and the lmpotent
guaShiEg Of teeth, strongly reminding the
ter, On which occasion big Bill Everett
kicked the ball, Glenaivln kicked Big Blu,
and the penuant went Wa ting of In the
wrong direction amid wildly tumultuous
times.
Carl McVoy Of san jose is supposed to be
the cloud 10 which Captain GIenalyin so
frelDEly alluded IN his opening sentence,
and which was uttered in accents as full Of
heart thTobs and aEonzed despair as 8 last
dying declaration.

However. the pennant was fairly won In

tested games 10 figure IN the result. In com
planning OF the game taken from them on
account OF the ble8chers at Los Angeles the
Angels have overlooked the fact that the
Dukes We're one game shy on account of
the pitchers box being too close to the plate

pathlZlUg deeply with Glenalvln in this his

evidence does not justify him in asserting

grand larceny.
The game was not rapid one, owing to
the extreme caution aud deberauon dis

sides. Southpaw Roach and Harper were
