LOST ON ERRORS.
First Game of the Season
Won by Uncle.
ONE FRUITFUL HOME RUN.
Knell of the Los Angeles Pitched a
Good Game but the Team Be.
hind Him Played Badly.

By missing train and not being present
at yesterdays ball game at Haight street.
Manager Lindey escaped seeing bis hired
men from Los Angeles drop the first game
of the second season to the home team
with score of II to 8. y
Los Angeles lost the game solely on ac-
count OF the errors they made. Altogether
there were eleven Of those errors, and
they were great big bungles ONE things
hat the poorest kid team in town would
have been ashamed of.
In the second inning, when San Fran
cisco was allowed to lay by five runs.
had been more ball-playing and fewer
errors at the sta:t, not run would have
been made.
Glance at the statement below and you
will see that only one of the runs made by
San Francisco was earned. while Los
Angeles earned five out of the eight. Then
Knell, who was pitching for Los Angeles.
struck out six men while Balsz struck out
two. Six of the home team went to first
on errors ana only two of Los Angeles.
Evidently the home talent would have
delighted in batting Knell all over the
field, because he used to be one of them
and went to join the Angels few weeks
Only Mcguire and Carroll succeeded in
getting long hits.
Knell has taken the place OF Spitless
Willie Ncol and his moist rag. Nlcol is
now with the Erie (Pa.) team. where most
of the retired Angels seem to go.
Not great many hits were made off
Louie Basz' delivery. just one hit, how
ever. operated by Pete Lohman, was good
for four runs. 1t was of itself home run,
and it so happened that when it came
three men were on bases. There never
was a hit made on any diamond that re-
suited in more runs than that hit.
The transp0sitions lately made in the
Los Angeles team seem not to have helped
matters much. In place of Hughes at
Is taken by Hutchinson. Hutchinson
does NOT do very we'll at short. The four
errors he made yesterday were responsib IDLE
for the loss Of the game. Lyle has been
transplanted in the left pasture and
Hughes is in right. The glare of the
afternoon sun caused Lyle to miss several
fly balls in his domain during the game.
and it was only through these mis- es that
the home team are repreSen TED in the long
hit columns at all.
AS usual, when the Los Angeles team
plays ball around here, there was enough
wranglng to make the game feature
some. Nothing that would permit OF a
DISPUTE was allowed to 20 undisputed.
One run apiece came in The first inning.
The second was different. A life was
given two men by errors of Hutchinson at
short, and then came singles by Sharp and
Power. and doubles by Mcguire and Car
roll. The total yield was five runs
Los Angeles almost duplicated this in
the last Of the fourth. and then the game
looked interesting. Hutchinson. Glenalvin
