VVO FINE GAMES OF BASEBALL
The Angels Take the First
Game Handily,
And Down the Pirates for the Fifth
Consecutive Time.
In the Second Game the Angels Made
One Error That Lost the Game,
or They Might Hive
Won Out.

The patrons OF baseball at Athletic
Park yesterday afternoon certainly got
their moneys worth, for they witnessed
two complete games of ball, and saw al
most everything that usually happens
on the diamond. 1t is true there were
no home runs made, nor was there a
triple play or balk made, but aside from
that the record seems to be complete.
The first game was called promptly at
O'Clock, with Nicor and Harper as the
opposing pitchers. Up to the sixth in
ming Harper had long way the best OF
1t, as he. held his opponents down to
four lonesome hits, and had bis support
: been perfect it would have been a shut
out. Nicol, on the other hand, had dis
pensed six hits, and couple OF errors
behind him had given the Pirates an
enviable lea1. But the sixth and
eighth innings put different color up
on matters, and effectually turned the
tide, from which it was impossible for
the visitors to recover.
Harper presented his opponents with
run In the third inning, with q little
assistance from bis backstop. With one
hand out Rasty hit hot one to the
pitcher. After fumbling it little he
threw low to Sweeney at first. A hit by
Hulen advanced Rasty to third, and he
scored later on q high throw to catch
McCauley at second.
The Angels had their troubles in the
last half OF the fourth inning. White
head bit slow one to Hulen, which the
Kid threw wild. Klopf then hit an
- s..k IN
double play if felded properly. but
Glen was over-anxious and both men
were SAFE, Lawrence hit single to
right field on which Whitehead at
tempted to score, but q nice throw by
Lytle cut him off at the plate. SWEET,
however, found place to put safe one
in left field, and both Klopf land Law
renee scored.
In the next inning base on balls to
Harper, followed by two Dagger by
Mannasau, tells it's own etory. The lat
ter stole third and scored on White
heads high fly to center.
The Angels got couple OF runs IN
about the same way. With two hands
out Lytle was allowed to walk to first
and stole second. Lehman then came
up with double that slow fielding
stretched into three bags and registered
his own tally on Hughes's single to
right field. Xxx ST sn
The eighth inning was the one which
carried disaster into the ranks OF the fol-
lowers OF the transplanted duke.
Hutchinson and Glenalvin both touched
the trademark for single, when Lytle
came up and hit an easy one to White
head at third base. 1t was dollars to
doughnuts that double play would re-
suit, but the ball went wild of second
base and Hutchinson scored. Pete Lob
man evidently had date with a two
Dagger about that time, scoring Glenal-
vim and Lytle. The Puente pillow boy
went TO third on wild pitch. An error
by the shortstop gave Nieol lie eH- 6fss
and Tailed Lehman. Wright wac also
safe at first on Klopf's muff of a hot
liner. Hulen forced Nicol at the plate,
but both Rasty and the Kid reached the
plate before the side WAS retired.
Lytle Tailed in the ninth inning on a
single, steal of the second bag, fol-
lowed by single by Hughes.
