BIeachers
Angels 5, Fresno o

The Angels were just FIVE runs to
good for Mike Fishers bunch of B'res-
nos, alias Bengals, alias Tacomas,
alias sacrarnentos, yesterday, and
when the batting fest had come to an
end there was nothing but long row
of eggs chalked for the visitors.
AS had been anticipated after the
quarrelsorne time of last week, the
game developed into lively affair with
Umpire Mcdonald as the center of hos
tilities. Mac had a difficult time con-
vincing both aggregations that he was
doing the best he could and his work
was voted a dun colored brown.
Strenuous Fan
There was one fan In the left field
bleachers in whose veins flowed the
blood which makes baseball what It
should be. He wanted the Seraphs to
win, what is more, he demanded that
they should bang the ball every time
they came to bat. He 'implored he con-
5ured and at last he came near to do
ing something else. When Kitty
Brashear came to the bat in the fourth
inning with three men on bases and
two outs, the fan In the bleachers al
most developed a hemorrhage through
his efforts to aid Kitty In slamming out
the BALL
"One strikel two strikes!" the UNI
pire called. Kitty hit wildly at the last
one and there was cry of rage from
the offended fan. He picked up his
score card, threw it down again and
marched from the bleachers, denounc-
ing in unmeasured terms the Angel
team, Jim Morley, who had hired them,
and everyone who would stay to wit
ness a continuation of such work with
three men on bases.
A few minutes afterward and this
same fan was seen sneaking back to
his place. A little ,later and he was
wriggling with excitement as the An
gels commenced banging Pitcher Stelt-
ger. Another second and he was shout
ing at the top of his lungs as the de-
moralization of the Fresno crowd be-
came complete.
Today he Will be back again, laud-
ing and lamenting as he did yesterday,
but still a ball fan and one of the sort
that packs bleachers and makes glad
the heart of the player.
Steltzer and Tozer occupied the re-
spective boxes and the former came in
for the lambasting that the Angels have
been developing during the past three
days.
The fielding feature was Delnas' cap
ture of Tozer's foul to the right of
first base in the seventh inning. It

Kitty Plays Ball
Kitty Brashear played in big league
form yesterday afternoon and the
blond fielder covered the bag in the
cleverest sort of style The majority
of his chances were not of the easy
variety and every grounder that found
its way into second base territory was
accompanied with a peculiar bounce
that had Kitty on his toes in expec-
tation of a f1ulSe hit.
In the first inning after Walters had
reached the initial sack Truck" Egan
whanged a nasty bouncer to Kitty, who
made one-handed stab, tagging Wal
ters before the latter slid from under
his grasp.
TRUCK Egan though credited with
but one error experienced a rocky day
at short and generally booted every
thing that came his way
Curtis Bernard was the boy with
the stick and out of four times he
safely clouted the sphere three times.
The summary:
