When nine why and seasoned athletes
conspire to get the upper hand OF one
ditto it ia expected that the nine will
succeed. AS a matter OF fact, as well as
contemporaneou history, nine men
usually have perceptible advantage
over one and it is little else than mar
velous when the one survives even to tell
the tale, Yesterday afternoon at Ath-
letic park one lonesome batsman would
stand up before nine practiced tielders,
one OF whom was supposed to be en-
dowed with occult powers and control
over the mysteries of curves, drops and
inshoots. Yet quite frequently the one
WAS superior to the nine, and would
successfully work himself through the
four degrees OF the order of the dia-
mond, and then take his seat upon the
bench among the past masters, look
down patronizingly upon his less FORUM
ate brethren, and blow about its being
dead easy game when you can get
onto the bloke's curves"
That Is the way several Angels acted
yesterday afternoon. They went to the
bat, hit safely or got to first ON luck or
patience, and completed the circuit OF
the four stations, covering Themselves
with much glory, dust and perspiretion.
With the conditions reversed 30 that
one striking ex-Colcnel was at the bat,
with nine Angels who have passed the
pin-feather stage opposed to him, one of
whom was endowed with occult powers
and an ability to pull wild pitches into
the center of the plate. and the result
was almost always different. The one
fell by the wayside, while the nine in the
field would laugh and say: ala, ha; l
knowed it,"
For of such is the kingdom of base
ball.
Fsom 2 80 yesterday afternoon until
rs the Angels toyed with the Strikers,
30 that at the end of nine innings the
latter looked as if they had dallied with
q buzz.saw.
II the Angels didn't make runs in the
first inning something would be radi-
cally wrong. When they began yester-
day it was only to carry out the ueual
custom. Rasty found two bases waiting
for him when he came to the plate.
Hulen walked to first but was forced at
eecond by McCauley. Hutchinson hit
one Just in front of the rubber and filled
the bases. Glenalvin hit for one bag
scoring Rasty. The captain should have
been forced out at second, but Cantil-
lion failed to hold the ball, and Nc
Oauley scored. Hutchinson stole to the
plate on Lohman's fly out to center, and
Glenalvin purloined tally alao when
the throw was made to catch Lythe at
second. All THE happened in the first
inning.
In the second Nicol opened up with
double also, and was sacrificed to third,
scoring later on Hines muff of Hulen's
high fly to center. Again in the fourth
inning the locals earned run on Rasty's
triple and McCauley's single.
The strikers broke the ice in the
aixth. Up to that time they had only
culled one little single base hit and it
looked as If Nicol would be inyinoible.
But he gave Irwin base on balls and
Hines sacrificed him to second, from
which bag he scored on Earl's double.
Both sides made runs in the ninth.
Lehman walked, and Cantillion failed
on his fourteenth chance for the game
giving Hughes a life on first, Then both
Nicol and Rasty hit, the latter for two
sacks. Rasty came home later on one
of the most amusing games of tag ever
seen on the local diamond, in which
Hulen out-generaled three of his oppon-
ents.
The Osklands made their two tallies
on four wild ones to Collopy, an error by
Glen on Hernon's bounder and sacrifices
by Cantillion and Cody.
