Sacramento played the Angels 20 a close
finish yesterday, showing a bit more danger
ously than they really figured, but the fact
must be admitted that the Angels. after a
strenuous week, enjoyed the forty-eight hours
rest and required full game in which TO
get limbered up again. Having been Inn
bered up, they will be going at full speed the
remainder of the week and having gotten
over the one day that always is most danger
Gus for them, the opening day. they should
run along smoothly now and win every game
OF the series as they figure to do. They
won yesterday solely on their class and by
the good pitching of Nagle. They did not hit
up to their standard and really did not field
that way But having passed the breakers,
It looks like 1t was all on but the shouting,
and that the cellar champs are in for week
of good drubbngs. Late last night Hank
Berry said that Castleton. instead Of Thorsen.
would pitch this afternoon, and as the
former Cincinnati southpaw Is in fine fettle
and winning form. he should take the Sac
ramentans down the line in his usual classy
manner.
James Flynn, the old trial horse who never
loses popularity even in defeat comes forth
from his long retirement and says that he
Is anxious to get match with Stanley
Ketchel. Owing to the popularity of Flynn
here and the fact that most Of the fans be
lieve he is the master OF the middleweight
champion, this bout should be quite big
drawing card and INK Tom hardly could
arrange a more attractive match. Flynn Is
ready to go into training soon as he
returns from Reno next week. and the match
could be arranged for a middle July date.
Flynn is in good shape now for gong lnto o
training and undoubtedly would give Ketch
all he could attend to in ten ROUNDS.
Sacramento and Los Angeles played the
fastest game Of the season yesterday. the Of
fetal time being hour and twenty minutes
There were no double plays or any consider
able number of strikeouts, so the record In
dicates the brilliant nature Of the fielding and
the effectiveness Of the pitchers.
Some highly enthused fan sat in the left
field bleachers yesterday and enjoyed himself
more than usual, ms screams ana long
drawn out yells attracting nearly as much at
tentien as the progress or the game Ihe

tained but If much OF it ever should get into
general circulation ball games would De
about as noisy as backwoods Fourth Of July
celebrations.
George Durker. a square sport and win
ming horseman, put over juicy one az eait
Lake yesterday, when Royal Stone galloped
home in front Of a fair field at most at
tractive odds. Durker had a lot OF hard
luck with this bird last season, but 1t seems
that he now has rounded to form and when
right he will be awful hard to beat.
Row Hit. whose record this season has
been almost remarkably free of defeats, won
from Portland yesterday, outpitching Knapp

DISPATCHES from Frisco bring the news that
