It was l.ho thir.l time this H.rnson that fjcvcren. lias , ; beaten KiUcry, anil it was the fifth loss t'ittcry lias suffered at the hands .at bait Lake, a club for which 1)0 used to pitch. Tho outstaii'linft feature of last cvo-I cvo-I !'iiiii),''s name was five doublo plays slaved by the Bees. Two of these dou-' dou-' bin- retirements came when tho An-1 An-1 ; gels had the bases full. Tho most spec-, spec-, , ' luailar of tho lot was a mighty heave 1 ; by .luck Farmer from center field to 1 the plate, retiring liubo Kllis, a fast base runner, who attempted to score ou what he thought would bo a sacrifice , fly. The ball was thrown on a line, 1 and was flung from a great distance. It was a trifle high, but Konnick made '.abeautiful play on tho throw, taking it with extended arms while blocking . ; the plate with his feet. Another thrill-I er was the catching of a lino drive by ! Shecly, resulting in a double This I double play was out of tho ordinary, because it retired two pinch hitters , i sent, in by Manager Killeter in tho nint h. Neither Side Satisfied. i ; There was a good deal of wrangling i with tho umpire in the early part or' ' the game on balls and strikes. Both ;; Leverenz and Fitlery strongly protest- ' ': oil the umpire's ball-and-slrike decis- 1, ions, but, after an inning or two, ov- ,; '.i erybody settled down to business again, v j except. Jack Fouruier, who kicked so " j hard about a variety of things, includ- ; iug his being called out after bunting, that he was sent to the clubhouse. : Jjeverenz was inclined to bo wild, I! and issued eight walks, threo of them i : in the first inning, but it seemed that I the .Bees were so much on their toca I that, Lefty could have doubled that number of walks, being always sura I that a double play would follow. Lev- V : ' oreu, had the distinction of twice fan- a ! ning the redoubtable Sam Crawford, u i for years one of tho greatest sluggers ,l'J the game has over known. !'. Fittery was wobbly once or twice X himself, notably in tho fourth inning, when the Bees bunched rour hits with o a walk, for three runs. Another Big Crowd. -t ' The attendance last night was again large, furnishing cumulative evidence that twilight baseball's the proper call ca-ll P-,r- . I i Tonight will be bat and ball fund day lor tne soldiers in r ranee.

By this L. arrangement both tho day workers aud ! the night workers will havo au oppor- lll tunity of seeing the athletes cavort. Tho Angels filled the bases in tin first, inning last night on three walks, 's but the Bees' first double play wiped ' 'cm off. Y The locals scored their first tally in their half. Miller doubled, was sacri- ficed to third, and scored on an out. The locals made three iu the fourth. With one out, Orr and Farmer singled and Crandall walked. Konnick popped out and Leverenz hit a safe one to loft, scoring Orr. Miller came along with his second two-bagger, scorinc; Farmer and Crandall. Leverenz also attempted to beat the ball to the rubber, rub-ber, but failed. The fifth gave the Bees two more. Siglin started with a double, aud Cha"-pell Cha"-pell was hit with a pitch. The runners run-ners wore sacrificed along, and Siglin scored on Orr's rainbow into left, which Ellis lost in the sun. Chappell stole third, and scored when Boles's throw went wild. A walk for Siglin, Chappell 's sacrifice sacri-fice aud Orr's hit scored the final run for the locals in the seventh. Tho Angels counted their first in the fourth. Ellis walked, was sacrificed sacri-ficed to second, and scored on Boles's double. The visitors' last run was made in the eighth.
