THE ANGELS DEFEATED,
They Try Hard, But Fall Far
Short.
Hoffman's Delivery Was a Mystery
to Most Of Them.
The Game in Detail with Little Cos

tendance at Thurs
days Game.

Professor Hoffman has more than
demonstrated his ability to occupy the
chair Of intricate twirlIng, for his work
against the Angels in the present series
has been of the shut-out order. Yester.
day for the third time this week the Los
Angeles aggregation of sprains and
Charley-horses has failed to win against
him. 1t is true that one game was lost
in fielding errors, but the fact remains
that the professor can pitch great ball
one day and duplicate the performance
the next. Stafford was in the box for
the hospital contingent and did excel
lent work. Had the men behind him
been in condition to play ball the result
would have been tar different. As q
plain matter of truth, the Los Angeles
players are not in condition to be in the
field, let alone to play winning ball.
McCauley was again at the old stand,
but he still has painful limp. New
man is rapidly improving, and in few
days he will be all right again. Hasa
maear has lame hand, which probably
accounted for couple of errors that oc-
Cured at critical periods.
Today's game will contain an element
of interest to local enthusiasts. The
work done 60 far by Mr.. Strong of Po-
mona has been go clean.cut and neat in
the two positions already filed by him,
that there is considerable curiosity as
to how he will work in the box. He has
local reputation as against amateur
hatters. and now he will be pitted for
the first time against professionals.

Francisco started the run-gettirg in
their half of the first. Hanley was safe
at first on Hulen's high throw, was ad-
vanced on Reitz's single and scored on
Levy's hit to left. Reitz scored while
McCauley and Glenalvin were running
Levy down between first and second.
In the next inning Spies hit through
Hasamaear for one bag, took third on
wild pitch and scored on Peeples's short
hit to McCauley.
P. Sweeney scored in the fourth on
hit between Hasamaear's legs, passed
ball and Levy's hit to right.
The Angels broke the ice in the lucky
sixth. Hulen was given his base on
halls, and was advanced to third on
Rasty's hit. McCauIey sacrificed Wright
to second, and P. Sweeney's error on the
throw of Hasamaer's bunt put Hulen |
over the plate. Wild throwing to catch |
Wright at third allowed him to score,
and Hasamaer scored on D. Sweeney's |
drop of Glenalvin's fly.
In San Francisco's half two runs were
added to their score. p. Sweeney was
given his base on balls, and took third
on Peeples's single. A passed ball scored |

infield hit, which he beat to the first
bag; took second on wild pitch, and
scored on Rasty's hit to left; The An

Tredway was given his base on balls,
and was put on third by Hasamaear's
hit. Peoples tumble OF Newman's short
hit let him in.

any doubt in the eighth by piling up
enough runs to make their total nine.
