THE COLONIES SLAUGHTERED,
The Score at the End of the
Ninth Twelve to Eight.
Some Pyrotechnic Attempts at Catch
ing by the Colonels.
The Angels Once Again in the Lead.
The Dukes Wallop the San Fran
cisco Team-The Winners on
Eastern Diamonds.

Plenty of razzle dazzle playing dis
tinguished the baseball game yesterday
afternoon.
The Colonels, at the start, couldn't
hang on to the sphere. The prettiest
little pop ups were dropped with an
ease and abandon that even made Col
onel Robinson diegusted.
That's no easy task, either, for the
colonel has seen many peculiar games in
his baseball career.
Whitehead was put out of the game
after the fret innings, and the crowd
showed their disapproval by yelling out
"Whiteheadn during the entire contest.
On Friday Whitehead came over to
get a drink of water and sat down on
the Los Angeles bench.
That was a heinous crime in the eyes
Of the only colonel, and before the game
began yesterday Whitehead was fined
$3.50.
Two dollars and fifty cents for sitting
on the Los Angeles bench and So for
not sliding to second.
AT this rate it was lucky for White
head that he did not play, because he
would have been fined his months sal
ary.
Tip 'O'Neill, who wears the finest dia-
monds in the profession, took White
heads place at short.
Comedian Tredway and Leading Man
O'Neill INDUCED in some airy persifage
over the change.
"Boys, hit them down TO short, :"
yelled Tredway as a squelcher to the de-
bate.
Sure enough, the first man up sent
very easy one to Tip, and the crowd
aughed and joshed for fully minute
after the only Tip let it slip through his
fingers.
The colonel looked vexed, and with a
glance of whitening sarcasm at the
bleachers for their display of gladness,
the colonel, like celebrated king of
England, never spoke again.
The local combination virtually won
the game in the first. By banging the
ball, and aided by timely errors ON the
part of the visitors, four runs came in.
The Colonels made the circuit once in
their half. A three-bagger by Mannasau
and sacrifice did the business.
The Angels gave the game one-sided
appearance by securing couple more

third standing to in favor of Los
Angeles. a
"Who is getting nervous?" That is
what gentleman with soft and mod
ulated voice remarked in the sixth,
after the Colonels had made four tallies,
with good prospects for some more.
The Colonels ibid some timely smash
ing in the sixth. They all appeared
eble to hit the ball. The streak did not
last long, however.
The Angels couldn't get man around
in the seventh.
The Colonels did gust manage to get
one of their men around, and the game
began to get exciting, with the score
z toe.
Neither side got in tally in the
eighth.
Those who had cenjured up grand
stand finish were disappointed.
In the ninth the Los Angeles boys
pasted the sphere ell over the park, and
added five tallies to the already respect
able total.
1t was a good thing that they were
not shut out in the ninth, as the Col
onels squeezed in two runs, and the
game ended IL to s, in favor of Los An
geles.
