After a most strenuous fight to get
out of the fifth hole, which is next
door to the basement. the Angels have
bounded into third place and are unS
comfortably, for the other fellows, close
to the top of the heap. They broke
even with the Seals yesterday and did
well at that, as they had no license to
beat Henley when the slender child
was in the form he showed yesterday.
Only two bingles, with lot of goose
eggs in the hit column between each
others. were gathered off his delivery,
and that kind of pitching ought to win
most any old game. At that, If Roth
had performed in his usual classy man
ner the game would have gone into ex-
ira innings, as his two errors gave
Frisco all it's runs, The boys will rest
from now until Wednesday afternoon,
when they tackle their old-ti enemy
and rivals, the illage Cutups. 1t has
been a long and exceedingly hard job
for the Angels to overtake their sub
urban rivals, but they finally accom-
plished their design and when the Sc
ries starts Wednesday the Angels viii
be in third place, with Vernon tea
with Oakland for fourth place. Inc
lead which the Angels hold over the
Cutups is not as great as their posi-
lions in the race indicate at tlrst
glance. however as one game VIII DO
a lot of damage either way. The close
race that is being run by the first five
teams and the sudden brace by Sac

about dope for the coming weeks play
but the Angels. seem to be on their
stride now and will be hard to mead

John Brink is one of the most faith
full fans on the local job. He seldolh
misses a game and always sits down
in front where he can get a Uood view
of all the proceedings and talk to the
nIayers and the umpire. He knows the

umnire for decisions that fail to agree
with his ideas.
