THE GAY AND FESTIVE SWATLET
Once More Cavorts Over the
Diamond,
And the Voice Of the Three-B -Bagger
Is Heard in the Land.
The Angels and Strikers Play n Great
Game OF Baseball, Even II
Victory Consorts With
the Latter.

The fans of Los Angeles are again IN
clover, for the local baseball team Is
back from most successful trip north.
and business was resumed yesterday at
the old stand. Athletic park had more
than q usual opening day crowd to wit
ness the initial game of the series be-
tween the Angels and Strikers, and the
cranks had a very pretty exhibition of
the national game to yell over. There
were all kinds OF hits made, and the
fielding was in many hued, from pure
white and extra brilliant clear down to
very pronounced ecru. The local team
had clear and away the best of the game
at the bat, and should have won the
game without any question had their
luck at the other end of the game been
any less unfavorable. The errors
made by the visiting team did not
cut any figure except in one instance.
On the other hand the errors OF the An
gels were uniformly fatal, and each time
blunder was made tally was sure to
result. Four large-sized errors were
marked up against the home team, and
just that many runs are thus accounted
for. Sig. Nicol, the pitcher, who does
not expectorRte, allowed seven men to
walk down the line, one of them getting
his base by virtue OF pair OF trousers
that were 80 large as to be the sport of
every passing breeze--likewise slightly
wild pitch. Three of these promenaders
reached the plate in safety, and there
you have seven tallies explained. But
that is not exactly how it all occurred.
The Angels got one run in the first in
ming on Mr.. Horner's wildness. Rasty
hit for one bag, and after two hands
were out the Kindness of the pitcher
filed the bases. Lytle hit for single
and scored Rasty.
Two tallies came to the visitors in the
second inning. Glenalvin fumbled an
easy one by Earl, and Collopy followed
with hit. Hernon sacrificed. Cantil-
lion then sent hot one down to Nc
Cauly, which got away from him, and
Cody's sacrifice did the rest.
In the third inning Irwin walked to
first, stole second and went to third on
rohman's poor throw. He scored later
on Hines single.
In the fifth inning each side made
one. Earl muffed rather high throw
and gave RastY life on first, and Nc
Cauly hit over the center felder's head

was again allowed to walk, McGucken
hit for one base, and the bags were
filled with four wild ones to Hines.
Earl went out on foul fly to
Hughes, but Collopy waited until his
promenade forced him across the plate.
Glenalvin retired the side, however, by
brilliant left-hsnd catch of liner off
Hernon's bat, doubling out Hines at
second.
The Angels then took the lead by good
hard hitting. Lohman, with two hands
out, was hit by pitched ball, and then
came home on double by Hughes.
Nicol and Rasty then each hit for throo
bags, earning the only two runs OF the
game. i.a....as
But the lead was only temporary.
McGucken started the seventh inning
with poke that gave Buck Hughes his
troubles. Hires walked to first and
Collopy hit safely. So did Cantillon
little later, and o fielding error inter-
vened in time to give the Oaklands
total of three runs for the inning.
The score is appended.
