Los ANGELES, II OAKLAND, 8,
The Angels Win q Jolly.
Scrambling Game.
They Hit the Ball at Very Opportune
Moments,
And then the Errors that We're Contrib
uted by Their Opponents Could Not
Wave Bssn Given at Bet
tor Times.

1t was quite like old times to see the
bieachers and grand stand we'll filed
with cranks, as they were at yesterday e
game of baseball at Athletic park. The
people began pouring in as early as
l 80 O'Clock, and they were still coming
at 3. The afternoon was warm and
mild, and one could sit either in the sun
shine or the shade without being un-
comfortable.
And what jolly game it wac! There
we're hits OF all kinds and the errors
came along in rapid succession, making
an ensemble OF baseball that was both
exhilarating and enjoyable. This thing
of pitchers battle is all right for the
dved.in-the.wool crank, but the game
the Sunday crowd wants to see is the
one that is full of life and ginger. OF
course you can't get that kind of game
without more or less errors, but they
add zest to the occasion. II the player
makes an honest attempt to get
ball he gets rally from the fans even
ii he missesi it. But these same fans de-
mand that the player should do his
pest ana 90 IL Win vim.
And that is juet the kind Of baseball
that is being put up at this midwinter
series. The boys are playing earnestly,
with ginger and plenty OF life; and in
Yesterdays game they all kept playing
until the fifty-fourth man was put out.
Oh course there were lots OF errors.
How could it be otherwise? Not a
chance was overlooked on either side,
and every man did his level best. Even
Joe Cantilliop woke up during the last
halt OF the game and got up almost q
perspiratiop.
The comedy of errors began in the
first inning. Dungen hit one at Van
Haltren which was fumbled. Parrot
cent one to Tip, and ne let 1t slide be-
tween his feet, while Reitz came along
with double, scoring the runners.
The Oaklands did better than this in
their turn at bat. Hernon walked to
fret, and Van Haltren followed him
with double. Denny's single scored
them both. Hines forced Jerry at sec
ond; but Cantillion hit one through
Reitz, and both O'Neill and Speer hit
Tor one base, and tie inning ended for
a total OF five runs.
Again the Angels took lead of one in
the second. McNabb hit for two bases
and Lelande walked. Irwin hit for one
base and scored Peter. DUNCAN hit
through Denny, and Csntillion also let
the ball get away from him, and both
Lelande and Irwin came in. A double
by Parrott scored DUNCAN.
The visitors tied the ecore at once.
Hernon was again allowed to walk to
first, and again Van Haltren advanced
him base on hit, but little slow
fielding was INDUCED in and Hernon
loped to the plate.
But the game only remained tied until
the fifth. Parrot began with single
and Glenalvin beat out an infield tap.
Griffith hit long one to Cantillion, who
muffed it and then overSthrew third. In
the melee both Parrott and Glenalvin
scored. Peter Nabb's singe to left field
sent Griffith across the plate.
One of theee runs the visitors got back
in their half. Hsrdie took second on a
poor throw to complete double play.
A passed ball advanced him to third,
and he scored on Contillion's tly-out to
McNabb.
The Angels gathered two more tallies
in the eighth inning, while the best the
Oakland's could do was to get one in
the seventh and ninth, but that left
them just three points short OF VIC
tory.
The scora fnilnwa.
