SLAUGHTERED.
The Dukes Give the Angels
a Terrific Drubbing.
Not Glenalvin's Giants, but
Vanderheck's Victims.
The ColOnels Shut Out by San
Francisco.
Denny, Roberts and Ebright Make Homo
Runs-Ban jose and Los Angeles
to Play Again This
Afternoon.

''If ye' have tears, prepare to shed
them now" The Angels, the pride of
all Southern California, were literally
butchered yesterday, and in consequence
there Is weeping and gnashing of teeth
in baseball circles. What a slaug ghter it
was, my countrymen! It was something
terrific. The Dukes made runs, not in
single files but in battalions. Poor Jim
Stafford was batted all over the field, no
less than nineteen hits being made off his
delivery, including three home runs and
four two.baggers. Jim was not himself
and the Dukes had no mercy on him.
His support was such as to make a
! pitcher weary OF the world" The |
! Angels played like amateurs unit! it was
\too late. None of them could hit a |
balloon until after the sixth inning,
Swhen they freshened up and played the |
game they are capable of, but it was too
late.
Well, the cannonading began on tt "a
part of the Dukes in the first inning and
they kept up the fusillade with affirming
rapidity. At the end Of the fif.sn Garter
& Aliens patent score board showed that
San Jose had made fourteen taliies.
while Los Angeles hid failed to make
|the circuit of the bases. Here was
pretty state of affs;rs.
Manager Vgnderbeck watched the
game from the grand stand. Before the
game commenced he was the most
elated man TO be seen at the grounds,
Rs he pictured in his mind the "snow-
ing under" that the Angels would give
the proud Dukes from Santa Clara
AFTER the fifth innings, like q cele-
brated king Of England, Van never
bmiled again, and it will be sew
oral weeks before he will recover
his usual eQuanimity, for the spirit of
the Los Angeles magnate is crushed.
Duke Finn of Santa Clara was the big
gest man in the city last night. He
sympathized with Prince Vanderbeck OF
Southern California by stating that it
was no disgrace to be beaten by the
Dukes, as his tearn could beat any Ma
tional league team in the country.
Well, something about the game will
now be apropos. After the usual
two had been retired, San Jose
made two in the first on Den
py's hit, right after Rogers muffed
high foul. They banged out two more
runs in the second. This gait did not
suit the proud Dukes, so they smashed

ing a homerun in this venture. In an
other innings Stallings opened up with
twc.bagger. McNey made safe hit
and both men on bases scored on
Ebright's base hit. Denny made one of
his famous home.run drives, which
netted two more runs. In the seventh
Ebright made home run, just to keep
Roberts and Denny company.
For time it looked as if our team
would suffer the ignominy of being the
first team in the league to be shut out
This season, but we escaped. In the
seventh Stafford made base hit, stole
second and scored on Wright's base hit.
The Angels made three more in the
ninth, the game ending fifteen to four in
favor,of the Dukes.
Needless to relate, the feature of the
game was the heavy batting of the visit
prs. McVey made no less than FIVE safe
hits, while Ebright and Denny contrib
lted six hits between them, including
swo home runs. Stafford did the best
tick work for the Angels. He hit the
ball at the right time. Hulen played a
sood game at third, his foxy play at one
time only preventing Stallings from
coming home. Old "Pop" McCaule3
played his usual tiptop game. The
following is the score
