sip and Notes.

The baseball season in Los Angeles
was reopened yesterday, with the usual
ec]at. and the fans who witnessed the
first game of the new series had the
benefit of veritable display OF fire.
works.
The Oaklands came this time with
only two OF the old familiar faces on the
diamond, outside of the batteries.
Hutchinson on third and Tip O'Neil on
second are the only ones left OF the old
team in the field. Park Wilson and
Horner came down with the team, and
the rest are all new men.
The Angels presented two new players,
in the points. Baldwin, the new catcher,
shows up well. He is quick, good
thrower, fair batter, and sprinter on
the base lines. McNab, the new pitcher,
did not show up very brilliantly. He
pitched an average game, and, with
clean eye in authority, his strlke-out
record would have been much better.
He evinces great disposition to work
the corners of the plate, and sometimes
gets the worst of it on close decisions.
But the star feature of the game was
the gentleman who is officially ad-
dressed as Mr.. Umpire. Patrons OF the
game recognized in him the ex-left
fielder OF the Oakland team. Mr.. Man
assau, Mamie, as he is familiarly
known, had hard time of it yesterday,
and it is dollars to doughnuts that life
will be burden to him as long as he
draws q salary as professional umpire.
His discipline is altogether too lax, yet
it comes purely from desire to be fair
and not severe-a very hard combina-
tion for baseball diamond.
But this is not yesterdays game.
Oakland won it, and the trick was done
with the stick. Up to the fifth inning
base hits were few and far between, but
after that it was different. Bunched
hitting in two innings kept the fans in a
flutter of excitement.
Oakland opened up the run getting in
their first venture. Cantillion hit to
right field. After Hutchinson had gone
out on fly to McCauley, McQuaid to
Lytle, who let the ball roll between his
feet. on which Cantillion scored and
McQuaid took third, the latter scoring
on Lange's fly to Lytle. :.
Nothing was done but little rapid
fielding, until the fifth inning. Then
the Angels got in and did q little bat
ting. Lytle took first on little poke
that Hutchinson failed to handle.
Baldwin struck cut while Lytle was
stealing second. Hulen followed with a
double, on which Lytle scored, the kid
taking third on an error by Camp. Nc
Nab also raped out two-base hit,
scoring Hulen. Stafford caught the
two-bag injection and scored the new
pitcher. Rasty also hit the ball safely
and four wild ones to Tredway filled the
bases. McCauley then hit safely for one
bag, scoring both Stafford and Rasty,
but was retired at second on trying to
stretch his single into double.
In Oakland's sixth venture two runs
were scored. McQuaid hit safely and
Lange sacrificed him to second. Brown
hit slow one to Hulen, who tried te
catch McQuaid between third and
home, but poor throwing allowed him
to score, and O'Neill's hit scored Brown.
Then in the next inning Oakland
again took the lead. Camp, Cantillion,
Hutchinson, Lange and MoQuaid tore
off singles in regular order, which net
ted them three runs.
This ended the run getting. The
