HARRIS Was TOO PREVIOUS
Frisco in Second Place, but Hank
Thinks Otherwise.
The Angels Defeated in a Game Where Awful
Thrsats Were Made-A Few More
Protests.

baseball business hereabouts before the
week Is over. What with protested games,
GienalVin's kicks and personal feuds be-
tween the players. all growing out of the
closeness OF the race. blood may be spilled
at any time. There were several thrilling
WORD engagements in yesterdays game,
wnicn Frisco Won after a hard struggle,
pue the expected scenes Of carnage were
DOT sprung upon an expectant populace.
As the Joyous days glide by and the
Angels keep on dropping down the slide the
prospects foran amicable settlement of the
trouble grow darker with each game.
Umpire Mcdonald and Gienalyin do not
speak as they pass by, except in cases in
Volving close decisions, and then only in
beautiful language, SOFT and low. During
one of their most affecting passages YES.
teFday Mcdonald politely requested the Los
Angeles captain to close his trap, which he

Then Hank Spies and S0nthpaw Roach
are liable to mix I'D at any time. The feel

oDlectlon TO the manner in which Mr. Spies
held his front foot while at bat. The toes
Dnlged out and hung over the confines of
the batsman's box. Mr.. Roach appealed to
the umpire, who had the Objectionable toes
removed. This made Hanks angry pas

soak Mr.. Spies in the head with a wild
pitch. Hr. Spies made no hostile demon
stratl0n. but informed the press that il MIR.
Roach mad hit him he would crack his skull
with bat.
Ii is also rumored that Pete Sweeney and
Glenalyin are liable to leave the reserya-

other. The cause of their hostile demeanor
is an alleged attempt on the part of MIR.
Sweeney 10 spike Mr.. Glenalyin at first
base as the latter was putting in at that
station under full head of steam. While
discussing this matter Mr. Glenalvin said
that II Mr. Sweeney ever did spike him he
would retalate by ripping his feet wide
open. MIR. Sweeney then said that for .
cents or some such sum he would knock
Mr.. Gienaivln'S front teeth out. This young
man lront teeth are still in position, but
there Is no telling what may happen.
PROTESTING FOR THE PENNANT
These are but few Of the more pro-
nOunced cases of scrap, and others are ex-
pected to develop from day to day. The
Angels are ever wrangling among them
selves, but as yet have made no threats.
Dad MeCauley and Mr.. Roach had a mild
spat yesterday regarding play, during
which Dad told Roach to attend to his own
business and he would do likewise.
But these little tiffs among the players
are nothing compared to the war Of exter-
mlnation the magnates are about to wage
against each other on the protest line.
Since Harris prematuTely announced the
forfeiture OF the Los Angeles game where

fiery. Unframed pitch. the usual XII fol-
lowed. Frisco won after hard battle by a
score OF 10 4. and Hank is still in second
place.
If the decision on that bleacher protest
was final Hank would now be on top, but he
was too previous in announcing to the
world his rapid baseball progress.
Hoffman pitched an elegant game and was
well supported until the ninth inning, when
the young men made a few disastrous
breaks, but rallied in time TO save them
selves. The Angels scored three in the sec
ond on three safe shots aud some errors.
