in their stride the local crew had done
enough Of mischief to bring home the
honors. 1t was a. hard luck lose for
Mr. Hosp. the happy mound artist of
the southern team, but his misfortune
was smiled upon by a fun house of
fans who went out to the park to see
the Angels get walloped. There was
plenty of action in the contest and
only brilliant fielding saved Eastley
from defeat
Both teams were working like fine
pieces OF machinery. Hosp had tight
ened up after the fourth frame and
did not allow a hit until the eighth.

slips. and while the Angels appeared
to be the more dangerous of the two
teams the boys in the field were CIV
were grabbing everything that came
their way.
The fans were getting comfortable
IN their chairs with visions of g. long
drawn out extra inning battle. When
the eighth frame came around nobody
expected that the Seals were ready to
grab the long end of the score Del
mas, who has been doing nice work
on the wrong foot yesterday, and his
work at short was of the rough order,
and TO him defeat can be credited, as
he gave q fine exhibition of bush work
The Seals lost no time in getting in
the game. Zeider took the nmelight

threw TO catch Zeider at the plate The

so rapidly that the Angels were be-
wildered in their effort TO catch him,
and finally Delmas threw wildly and

ley ran in on. but the ball went by
him. and Daley raced home from sec

fatal eighth, with honors all in favor

with big circles and the Seals did not
relish what he tossed at them. How
ever they did not need to hit in the
eighth as the Angels took q fight in
the air to the delight of the fans.
After Zeider flew out to Ross in the
eighth Hosp gave Mohler life on four
bad ones. Tenant hit easy one to
the pitcher, who fielded il cleanly and
waited for some one to cover the bag.

long drive to center, but he was out on
a sensational catch. McArdle erred on
Wheelers grounder and he took second

dorff's drive and retired the side.
