FOUR GAMES OUT OF SIX,
That Is the Result of the Last
Series.
The Angels Made a Grand Rally
Yesterday.
A Game Repiete with Pretty Plays and
Sharp Fielding-How the Fourth
was Celebrated on the
Diamond.

The cranks and fans ought to be in
fine feather today. Their pets put up a
grand game of baseball yesterday, and
won the fourth game out of the series
of six with the San Jose club, and had
run or two to spare. Still, there was
not any too much margin, for the Dukes
play ball until the last man is put out,
and they play the game just about as it
ought to be played, Indeed, there is
an object lesson in their general work
that should be copied by all the players
in the California league.
But yesterdays game was one of the
finest exhibitions of the national game
that has been put up in Los Angeles
this season. 1t was full of snap and
ginger from the start, and there were a
dozen times when an error or little
slow work wonld have been fatal.
Harper and Balsz were the opposing
twirlers, with Clark and Hasamaear do
ing the back-Htop act. Both pitched
magnificent ball, as the score will show.
Nine hits were made off Mr.. Harper.
and by an unusual piece of luck the
Angels punched three in the fourth in
ming and earned run in the seventh
on McCauley's swat for three cushions,
followed by Tredway's single. Balsz
was touched for six hits.
Both sides drew blanks in the first
two innings. They Angels should have
scored in the first, but very stupidity
took coat OF whitewash. In the first
inning Rasty was given his base on
balls, was advanced on Pop McCauley's
sacrifice. Then Tredway, who was pre-
sented with magnificent bouquet upon
stepping to the plate, hit out clean
base hit. Rasty tried to cross its path
and came in collision with the bali and
was consequently out. Then while
Tredway was still at first, thinking
doubtless about that bouquet, Harper
threw the ball to the handsome Mr..
Dooley and Tredway was brought out of
his trance.
But'the Angels got in and made few
runs in the fourth inning. McCauly
reached first on Everett's tumble, Tred-
way went out ON a fly to McGucken,
Hasamaear hit safely to center, on
which McCauly took third, then Glen
alvin hit for two cushions, scoring Nc
Cauley. Hasamaear scored on a futile
attempt to put Stafford out at first, and
Newman's neat hit to right scored Glen
alvin and Stafford.
In the next inning the Angels added
another to the score, with two hands
out and Tredway on first; Hasamaear
hit safely to right field, but Stallings
tried to throw Tredway out on third,
threw wild, and Tredway scored. In
the came inning Hasamaear made
grand slide for the plate on a throw to
second, but the ball was returned, ac-
cording to the umpire, in time to catch
him.
Then the visitors made run. Clark
hit for two bases and was advanced to
the plate on sacrifices by McVey and
Stallings.
Each side scored again in the seventh.
For the Angels Pop McCauley hit for
three bases and Tredway sent him home
in a walk. The visitors led of with
two bagger by Denny and scored on
Clark's second base hit.
In both of the next two innings it
seemed next to impossible to keep the
Dukes off the plate. First McGuckan
went to first in walk. Everett struck
out. Ebright took second on Rasty's
muff of hit to deep center, and the
bases were flleo by wild pitch in
Dooley's. With Denny at the bat and
long overdue for hit, things looked
scaly. But Denny hit long fly to
Rasty, which was returned to third in
time to catch Ebright, and just in time
also to choke off McGuckan, who was
making toboggan play for the plate.
Similar sharp fielding ended the game
in the ninth and left the Dukes out in
the cold.
The score follows:
