CPacffc Coast League.)

The Siwashes relapsed into their old
habit Of making runs yesterday when
they saw a chance. They saw several
chances and never for a moment did
they overlook any Of them. Only nine
hits were culled from the stock of
Jimmy Whalen, but these same nine
brought in six runs. Score, Seattle 6,
San Francisco 2.
Never for a moment did the home
e tOssers have a chance to lay claim to
the game after the second inning. Jay
Hughes toyed with them, kidded them
and then mystified them. He was
steady and cool all the time and simply
had the locals bewildered, especially
when men were on bases
Seattle started with one IN the first
and il might have been more had not
Delehanty hit into a double play. The
natives came back with two in the
third when Van Buren hit and Town
send sacrificed and IRWIN sOused one to
left. Anderson swung through with a
f.: double 10 left and a moment later a
stead and Wilson's error made il two.
This gave Uncle. some confidence, but
It was short lived, for the Siwashes
commenced in the fourth to break il
UP for fair. Mohler hit and Frisk
walked. Blankenship unIoaded one in
front OF Meany anC as Pat was about
q TO wing il in 10 the plate the ball took
q bad bound and went 10 the fence for
triple, scoring both men. Blanken-
ship arrived on Smiths out, making it
three for the inning and four in all
MOhler drew q. four spot in the sixth
but only had TO wait a few seconds for
Frisk TO drive one TO the score board
and bring him to the pan. Smith kept
the good work up and Frisk came in
with the last one.
Waloron was called out by O'COnnell
In the third on an infield play and i'm
