LOST EARLY In THE GAME
One Bungle Gave the Angels Five
Large TalIies.
An Exciting Contest That Passed Off Pleas.
antly Save for the Poignant Grief
Of the Three Hanks

Judging from the way the citrus belters
played ball yesterday the Berkely explosion
early in the morning must have jolted them
into condition again. Maybe 1t only awoke
them to the fact that life is too short and
uncertain to be spent In useless kicks at the
umpire. so they reused up and lambasted
Professor Tanning for number of robust
swats, which, with an unfortunate bungle
early la the fray, gave them victory by a
score of 9tO 8.
Not an Angel gave vent to a snort of dis
approval or eyed the umpire askance 1t
was not their day to grumble, but grief
gnawed ut the Yitals of the other fellows
The action was so rapid. however, that they
had little or no time to kick. Some cracker
jack hits were exploded. the fielding sharp
aud quite brilliant in spots and large and
noisy crowd pulled hard for favorites. More
than the usual interest was attached to the
contest, as ii decided the leaders nip for the
time being. ana the Angels are still one
game and half in advance OF all others.
THREE UNHAPPY HANKS.
Taking everything into consideration, it
was one of the worst days for Hanks ever
seen here. There are three Hanks in the
Frisco team. including the only genuine
Hank who sits on the bench, and they all
fell prey to poignant grief. In the very
third base, missed hot grounder that was
responsible for five TALES and the loss OF
the game. From that time on the boss

ranks of the belters and they are now in a

he make desperate but misguided attempt
to score, but each time was the unhappy

slons he told the umpire what tie thought of
him. The first of Hanks mishaps was
caused by an unnatural desire TO score from
second base on passed ball, and the other
was an equally giddy attempt to make The

WHERE THEY WON 1T.
The game opened with q rush and was
marked by the hardest kind of hitting all
the way through. The Angels led In this
respect, ripping off home run, two triples
and a couple of doubles. BalsZ was touched
mp for one triple, pair Of doubles and a
few minor swats, but the visitors secured
too great o lead in the deadly first. Stafford
opened with two-cushion shot, Wright
sacrificed and McCauley sent lively
grounder TO Reitz, The ball struck him on
the foot ard shot out into the field. Tired
way famed out. which would have ended
the play but for Reitz's misfortune. Then
came Genalvir and Hassamer with singles,
followed by HuleD. who drove the ball to the
clubhouse, and there you are, five tallies in
a bunch.
During the first three innings the locals
could do nothing with Louie BalsZ' curves,
the side going out In order. In the fourth
Hanley's single and double by ID.
Sweeney sent In one tally, and buncEed hits
in the seventh and eighth contributed the
other four The beters secured the rest of
their string in small lots by hard and timely
hitting. Stafford led with single, double
and triple, Wright tore off long and two
short ones. and Huen was well up with the
old stagers. Mr.. Levy also Obliged with a
badly needed triple. Peck Sharp aud Glen
