by the absence OF McVicker, who was
injured the day before. but latersin the

feet and could not Judge bounding balls

For the Angels there were also fe w
changes. Glenalvin hurt his right
shoulder in the game Wednesday after
noon, and in his place was Hutchinson,
Lytle was sent into left field and Kid
Nicol cavorted gaily about in the right
meadow, with nothing to do particularly
except to cavort. H
The game started out as though il
would be pitchers battle, but it took
only few innings to get warmed up

drove in the second tally with double
into the right pasture.

score, and wild throw to first let Man
nassau come in.
The Angels came up to the bat in the
fifth inning and leaned against Professor
