MOTIFS magnificent home run drive over the
left field fence in the ninth inning, sending in
q man ahead OF him, gave Portland an unlocked
Tor victory in yesterdays game 1t was ladies'
day and the lair were out IN great mum ers.
ltmay have been their presence which inspired
such great ball playing; 1t may not, but never
theless the game was full of brilliant work and
brought for h now and then its merited applause.
Petty ana Jones were the opposing pitchers and
each did his work in fine style, aud each in an
entirely different manner. Petty used change
OF pace and the inshoot, while Jones depended
ON his terrific speed aud sharp outdrop. The
former was batted harder and more frequently
than the latter, though until the ninth not
with satisfactory results. Four hits counted
against Petty, giving three earned runs, while
three hits, an error and wild pitch counted
against Jones, netting two runs, one OF them
earned. Petty depended to great extent on
his support aud good control OF the ball, while
Jones pitched for strike-outs and was forced TO
rely on his felders.
The game grand exhibition of fielding,
and moved On so rapidly that the spectators did
not have time to become weary in the least. UNI
pire McDermott was at his best, ana Kept the
ball rolling and the players moving as II ne
wanted to establish worlds record for quick
play. The ball shot across the plate across the
diamond ana in from the o1tfeld i'll so sharp
and accurate manner that the man who would
have "done this or that" did not find time to ex-
press himself, or even object to bunting.
The feature plays of the game were well scat
tered. Powell played finely in left field. making
great catch of OsDorne's long ny be-
tween left and center Two other hleS,
by no means easy, were nicely taken.
No error was charged against the
earnest left fielder, although some remarks were
made 20 the effect that he should have larger
black mark for allowing MOTIFS hit to go over
the fence. In the sixth Powell was thrown ont
| at second after making fine headhrst slide Tor
the base The crOakers voice was heard,
"Served you right" but the sentiment was not
generally appreciated, as Powell was cheered on
all subsequent occasions when opportunity
offered Newman got in two fine assists from
center one in the third and another in the Fl th
Shea continued TO play in fine FORM assisting
five times and taking part in a double play IN
the seventh, which cut off Portlands chances
OF scoring. Hernon accepted three chances, the
first in the fourth inning being a short hit TO
the ont field, which he captured close to the
ground and near second base. Phelan covered
second IN bis usual style, having seven chances
and no errors. One was sharp infeld hit,
which Dick took on the odd bound as II 1t was
an every-da affair. thinner caught without
passed ball and took high foul fly close to the
grand stand and above his head.
For Portland, Motz simply great When
q hit was needed ne lined the ball out where no
one could get it, and in the ninth it was the
same old story, with greatly increased en-
phasis His first base work would have brought
offers from Arson and Mutrie had they seen 1t,
and the Boston trumvir would have offered
him the whole city. Ground pickups and short
Founders were all the same to him, and found
lodging in his hands. Abbey did some nice
work in center and doubled Hernon at second
in the first inning. Darrah was strictly
a model third baseman. Nothing came SO fast
but he could pinch it, and none rolled SO slow
that he could not pick it up and get it to first
ahead of the runner. Glenalvin's error was on
an easy chance but the rest of his work was
fautless. Lyle was not out of the game by
any means, and accepted five chances without
even tumble. He gathered in one over the
pitcher which looked ike hit. Graft held his
monster glove directly in focus with the ball.
and closed down on the tricky sphere quicker
than rat-trap gets in its deadly work. Bumpus
Jones did good work with the stick, getting
single and double.
The game started by Tommy Hernon going to
first on balls. Phelan sacrificed him to second,
but it was more due to Hernon's running than
Phelan's hit that he was safe. Powell sent a
liner to center, and Hernon, who had started for
third, tried to get back, but it was no use. Abb
hey drove the ball on a line to Glenalvin, COM
pleting the double play and retiring the side.
Two neat assists by Shea and a fly taken by
Newman marked the last half of the first.
The second inning saw Seattle retired in Or
der, Darrah making q nice ground pickup OF
Newman's hard hit. In the last half both Motz
and Darrah got hits over second after two were
out. Graf ended the agony by flying to Phelan.
In the third with one out, thinner reached
first on Glenalvins tumble, stole second and
was out at third on doubtful decision. Petty
struck out and retired the side. Portland sent
only three men to bat, but Jones got in single
eppOnh second tried
as thinner had thrown wild. Newman made a
fine throw from the field and retired him at
third.
The fourth gave each blank.
Seattle scored in the fifth on Twins double
10 the LETT field fence along the third base line,
and Schoenecks low drive, which struck Jones
and bounded towards third past Darrah. After
Motz was out, Darrah drove a grounder between
Irwin and Shea to the left field fence, for two
bases. Petty turned and let the ball go at
second, thinking Shea would cover the bag.
He didn't, and the ball rolled to center, Darrah
going to third and keeping on towards the
plate. Newman got the bail and lined it in to
Shea. who put it home, putting out Darrah.
In the sixth both sides went out in order.
Irwin ana Schoeneck were ont in the seventh
when thinner sent grounder between first and
second Osborne let it go through him and Zim-
mer went to third. Petty came to the bat and it
looked doubtful for a run, but fortunately a
wild pitch came in the nick OF time and thinner
scored. Portland ma lie great effort but did not
score.
In the eighth Seattle went out in order. For
Portland, Graft was ont when Jones hit two
Dagger TO left and came home on Glenalvin's
double along the third base line.
In the ninth the home team did not score Alb
hey got in q hit over second. Osborne hit long
fly TO left which Powell captured in fine STYLE
and by a quick return kept Abbey on first.
Motz came up and connected. The ball went
straight as line over the fence and the game
was lost to the home team. The score:
SEATTLE.
