THEY PUNCHED THEIR HITS.
Hank Loses His Third COnsecu.
tive Game.
The Warblers Take Good Lead, but Fail to
Hold 1t Down Until the
Finish

same old performance at the Haight-street
grounds yesterday afternoon and the Angels
blew out in the ninth with ID score in
their favor, after playing a game similar to
that OF the day before.
The songsters had everything their own
way In the beginning as usual. but failed
to hold 1t down as has been customary with
them of late, while the visitors adopted
their everyday tactics and won the game in
one eventful inning by punching their hits
and making the best of an error possible.
Hank wore placid, peaceful, happy
countenance until the fifth, for up to that
time the score on the board read 40 in
favor OF his songsters, with a slight change
in the next. when the Angels ran in one
solitary tally. The owner of the warblers
was not In the least disturbed until the
opening Of the eventful sixth, when HOff-
mans delivery was swatted for five big hits
and the ctrus-b elters brought In four more
big tallles that won the game, aud also shut
out his henchmen in the next three innings
with only enc meRSly base hit.
1t was not eTTatic Professor Fanning's
day TO occupy the box, and unlike his con-
irere. Hoffman was there in good time 10
his owners evident relief, and yesterday
MS men played IN their usual positions
The songsters first held down the bench,
croWdlns around Hank as thick as bees
while he sOlemnly instructed them to win
or there would be family row from which
serious consequences might result.
Pete Sweeney opened the first of their
half with foul that Newman gracefully
pulled down and made the first out, while
Sharp, who followed. hit bouneer to Cap
Glenalvln, who threw him out at the first
bag.
Then little Dan Sweeney varied the mo-
notony by ripping of good single, when
KeitZ followed with bounding grounder to
left, which Stafford fumbled badly, the run
ners making the best of il all the while and
nnaliy scoring on very wild throw made
by Newman at the plate and brought in two
big tallies for Hank.
ONLY ONE HIT.
In their half the Angels made onlv one
hit on Hoffman's delivery, and scored a
goose egg where the runs should be scored
on the board. and were later retired by a
neat double play from Sharp and Z.
Sweeney that shut out the talies
Stafford started In with a single to left
held, reaching the first stage, when Wright
followed with swat TO Sharp on the second
bag, forcing Stafford, who was retired by
Sharp, who sent the ball to Sweeney in time
to put out the swatter. but Treadway re-
tired the side by dying at first. without q run
to their credit.
Hanks henchman ran in another tally In
the second on Hanleys single, who scored
on similar swat down the right field by
side.
In the third both sides walked in and ont

at least one game from the visitors would

Then came the disastrous sixth that |
changed the aspect of affairs very materially |
and made Hank mourn his loss. His side |
retired without even lit to their credit |
and be became nervous and fidgety, gulping |
down no less than three big cups of ice |
water from the pail near the bench in his |
excitement. and the small boy had to bring |
over q second installment Of the liquid.
THE FIRST SWAT.
When the Angels ripped out the first
swat on Hoffman's delivery he spasmOd- !
cally lifted up a blackth0Tn, using his arm
as a derrick. and deposited it on the bench
with painful look creeping over his eTst-
while happy countenance. but the pitcher
was tired and was swatted for five round
nits, Including a disastrous three Dagger,
and Hanks wild protests had no effect and
couldn't save the game.
Balsz started with an out, when Stafford
ripped off a healthy single In the direction
Of lett field, and then came an error, beat
tiful, large and well-developed, that made
Hank swear mildly from the bench aud
mutter release" threatingly.
Wright hit to left, but Peoples failed
to block in his usual style. and soon
after the TALES commenced TO roll In in a
way that took Hanks breath away BY their
rapidity. Iredways single came at the
critical moment. and the first two Of the
four runs made during the inning came
in easy time. Then Pop MeCauley saw ft
to distinguish himself by ripping out the
second three-ba hit Of the day, rapping the
sphere way over 10 the left fence amid the
yeils of the crowd, who saw another tie
score that promised either victory or an
extra inning.
Cap Glenalvin took the first bag on weary
Hoffman's work in the box, when the excite
ment was intensified by a bold attempt of
Pop TO steal home. but he died at the plate
by a scratch. Lytle's single moved I'D Cap
Glenalyin to the second bag, when he finally
scored the fourth tally on Newman's sacTi-
fee amid great enthusiasm and the stamp
of many feet in the kindergarten.
The Angels were satisfied TO shut out the
warblers ia the next two innings with some
exceptionally good field work. especially in
the ninth, when Balsz, who got tired, sent
two men 10 bases on called balls in success
sion, when, with one out, a neat double
play retired two men and the side.
Hank walked sadly off, and remarked to
Blockers that there must be a boodoo some
where, and that he intended to get a mascot
for the rest Of the week and win game, or
there would be weeping and waiiing ia the
ranks in the near future.
The fair crowd present enjoyed the game
In mid way, but seemed to anticipate the
result long before the finish.
The same clubs play al the HaIght- street
grounds this afternoon. Following is the
