THE PROCESSION STILL MOVES
And the Angels Keep in the
Front Rank.
They Take the Third Game from the
Pirates.
Model Exhibition of the National
Pastime-ETsctIve Work in the
Box Keeps the Hitting at
Minimum.

The prettiest game Of baseball so far
this season was played at Athletic park
yesterday afternoon. II was almost an
old-taehioned pitchers contest, with
nothing Tor the infeldersto do but stand
still and scoop up the ball and throw it
to first, or the outfelders to pull in the
fly balls. And indeed that was more
nearly the case than in any of the past
games. Both Borchers and Harper
pitched magnificent game, with the
percentage little in favor OF the Tor
mer. Borchers only allowed one man to
walk to first on him, and kept the hits
so we'll scattered that only once did two
OF them come together. On the other
hand Harper allowed three of his ep-
ponents to walk down the path, and one
OF them ambled the circuit before the
side was retired. Fielding errors were
scarce, only three occurring during the
whole game, two Of them being charged
to the Angels.
Finn had stranger again in the right
pasture in the person Of local amateur,
Lorgheed. This young gentleman
proved more than capable, and handled
himself like an old Lacquer. He COW
cred more ground than any Of his pred
eceseors, felded rapidly and clearly, and
bit the ball safely three times out OF
four times at bat. What more could one
ask2 This young man is well known In
amateur circles, and is credited with be-
ing a,rapid in-fielder, q more than aver
age catcher, and good ball player gem
orally. There are great many inferior
players drawing good salaries as profess
sional players.
And then the Angels won another
game on ladies' day. AS general thing
the presence OF the fair sex has demon
alizng influence upon the Angels, or
else it stirs up the visitors to renewed
ellefts. Bat yesterday, as last Friday
with the Colonies, the locals lifted the
haadoo and sailed in for a victory from
Che 6gst jump,
'Fhe Angels broke the ice in the fifth
iunirg. Lytie went to first on liner
tbat WAS TOO hot for Whitehead TO han
die. While Lehman WAS striking out
he stole both second and third, and
scored ON Borehers's single to left.
The Angels made their second run in
thu sixth inning, and it WAC earned.
Neol started off with hit, and scored
on Easty's double to center, which the
latter vsinly tried to stretch to the third
cushiou.
The henchmen OF the transpIanted
duks made tally.in their half of this
inning. A tumble by Hughes gave
Sweeney q life at the initial bag.
Whitehead's single advanced him to
third, aud he scored on the throw 10
catch Whitehead at second.
e Again in the seventh the local team
connected with the home plate. Lob
man reached first on force drive, stole
second, went to third on an error and
scsrsd ON the throw in of Borchers's
high fly to center field.
The Pirates got their last run In the
eight, and an earned run at THAT. MaII-
Dasau's triple to right field was the
commencement, and Sweeney's single to
the same territory finished the business.
In the ninth inning the Pirates got
two men on bases, and for while it
looked az if they would tie the score,
but the hits were not forthcoming and
for the third time this week the victory
was denied them.
The scores
