HIits-Great Game Ex-
pected Today

Joyous sensations were experienced
by crowd of red-hot rooters at Chutes
park yesterday afternoon when Henry
Berry's Angels sent the famous Nc
GRANTEES to defeat by a score of to 2.
Not only did the Seraphs whale the
great Christy Mathewson and his fell
low twirlers, but they outplayed the
Giants at every stage of the game.
Added to this oscar Jones pitched a
mastery game and allowed McGraw's s
men but three hits. Maybe there has
been a more sensational catch than that
made by Left Fielder Carlisle of the
Angel team, but If so no one could
persuade Henry Berry to that effect.
McGraw was not the happiest man in
the world yesterday, and as the game
progressed urged the Giants to do
something with the stick. Along about
the eighth inning Dahlen and Strang
managed to find a place on the bases.
AS big Mike Shannon came to the plate
McGraw ran to the coaching line and
began telling Jones q few things.
Mike made a brave effort and raped
a hard one toward left. Carlisle was
playing rather close in, but did not hes
itate as the ball went flying toward his
vicinity. 1t appeared a hopeless task,
however. and the New Workers were
hollering their heads off in exultation.
Carlisle dashed back, and as he saw
the sphere pass above made spectacu-
lar leap. Like a bent jack-1knife he
twisted skyward and reached with the
gloved hand. Not until the little fielder
had found terra firma again and held
the ball for Umpire Wheeler to observe
did the crowd realize that the inning
was over.
Carlisle received a tremendous ova-
ton as he came in, practically every
person in bleacher and stand rising to
make known his satisfaction.
Oats him." whispered the small boy
as Christy Mathewson walked to the
box for the first inning. The great
twirler is certainly a fine specimen of
young manhood, and there were those
who predicted Angel undoing
Curtis Bernard thought differently,
however, and slashed out a nice double
to left field. Bernard's hit was the first
of an extra base series which brought
tears to McGraw's eyes. Ames and
Wiltse endeavored to stop the trend of
events, but were received with wide
open bats which sent their offerings to
far corners.
Nothing could have been improved, so
far as the Seraphs were concerned.
Every man was playing major league
ball and not chance went by the
board.
George Wheeler umpired, and Incl
dentally gave McGraw calling down.
The latter, while engaged in some
bench repartee at Wheeler's expense,
suddenly observed George walking in.
But for the intervention of Berry the
indicator man would have made things
interesting for "Muggsy."
"Oh. go on and umpire" said Nc
Graw; II didn't mean anything" After
a few extemporaneous remarks rela-
tive to the virtues of a closed mouth
Wheeler resumed his duties.
Brown, right fielder of the Giants,
walloped a long one over the right
field fence in the eighth.
A rafting game should result to-
day. The Giants are not overly pleased
at yesterdays result and will be out for
blood.
Gray and Bergeman are expected to
work for Berry. The score:
