tof The streak of hitting by the home
team which followed tied the score and
necessitated a tenth inning. Motz re-
v,arked before the game began that the
Portlands always hit Camp in his second
came against them, and his prediction was
verified. The kid" seemed TO have lost
his hypnotizing smile of Saturday, and
although he worked as hard as he ever did
the men who faced him did not have any
great difficulty in solving his delivery.
Wadsworth was not much of a puzzier
either. and after the home team had prac-
ticed for couple of innings they began to
hit the ball with great regularity.

match. at no time did the fielders on either
aide have an opportunity to doze. Both
Camp and Wadsworth were relieved, Tom

running catch of Motz drive clear to the
center field fence, and throw to second,
doubling up Osborne. The center fielder
also had three stolen bases. and two safe
hits TO his credit. Big Lew Schoeneck
and Joe Shea were the leaders in the stick
work, however, each getting three safe
drives two of the first baseman's being for
two bases. Dick Phelan, as usual, took
everything in sight at second base, having
ten chances.

was, however. a marvellous catch by Abb

Newman's hands. which cut il off within
