acific Northwest California.

The Seattle team called halt yesterday
TO It's shaky style of work, and played ball.
In consequence it wound up the first sea-
son will well-earned victory over the
champion, Portland. A big factor of sue
cess was the steady, reliable pitching of
kid" Camp. He had excellent con-
troll, watched the bases closely, and
made use Of good head work
at the right time. The first man up found
him for rafting two-bagger against the
fence. but this made no difference The
kid" only worked the harder and kept a
run from following the hit He did not
let down in his effectiveness either and
pitched out the game with the regularity
of clock
He had support, too. that furnished the
greatest inducements to good pitching.
Owing to the desertion of Osborne, Nc
Ginnis was obliged to go into left field, and
the team presented three pitchers in its
makeup. but this made no difference. It
woke into life again and put plenty of snap
into its work. Every man played as
if he intended to win. The field
ing was sharp, and everybody kept
plugging away at the ball with a will.
There was plenty of judicious sacrificing,
too. that did its full share towards bring
ing in the runs. All in all, it was differ
ent team from the one that Portland made
monkeys of on the day before and showed
its real stength by the work it did.
Portland played game that was full of
merit, but failure to hit Camp safely
brought defeat. The team was somewhat
weakened in batting by Jake Stencil being
laid off. Pet McNabb made his debut as a
first baseman and did surprisingly well.
As usual, both White and Werrick did the
prettiest kind of fielding in their positions.
There was plenty of good work in the
Seattle inield, the neatest bits being two
sharp double plays. One came when OAR
rah. who was on second, started for third
while Charlie Irwin was throwing out q
man at first, but was caught by the
"Dummy's" quick return to the third
baseman. Gil Hatfield came in for the
batting laurels with single and double,
the latter bringing in two runs. Dummy"
Ryn gathered in a brace of singles.
Seattle started off as if she meant to win
and narrowly escaped scoring in the first
GIL Hatfield led off with clean hit past
short. Then Billy Earle hunted towards
first and beat it out. Lange's neat sacri-
flee advanced both base. 1t looked like
a run. but Minnehan flied out to Tebeau
and Baldwin gathered in foul fly sent up
by McGinnis
Better luck came in the second and after
two men were out. 1t started when the
Dummy" was given a lite at first on
Pete McNabbs muff of Werrick's assist.
Kid " Camp was presented with base on
balls and then Gil Hatfield dropped
a safe one in right field just
where it would take an ugly bound and
evade Billy Georges anxious hands.
Ryn scored on it and Camp did likewise
by hard running. Earle left Hatfield at
second by flying out to Burns.
Matters began to assume serious as
pect in the seventh when Portland came
in with her only run of the game. Billy
George started slow one down to third and
beat Twins throw TO first. Peter Nc
Nabb struck out and ''Orator' Burns flied
out to Lange, but Willie Mains was the
man for the emergency. He smashed the
ball into the gap between left and center
and ambied to second, while George
scored. \ moment later the giant pitcher
growing ambitious TO shine as a base
runner was caught off second and run
down.
In the eighth the home team lifted itself
out of danger. McGinnis opened up with
a safe hit. Mains wild throw to first to
catch him off the base sent him to third.
Irwin was given a base on balls, and at
once started 10 steal second. Badwin's
wild throw To head off the runner
let McGinnis come home and sent
Irwin To third. PARROTS long fly TO
George let in another run after the catch
kyn raised hopes of still more runs by
getting IN safe hit, but the next two men
went out and left him at first. The score:
