The Portland gentlemen of the NIT
had the Situation we'll in hand" dur
ing the course of their fourth action
with the Seraphs yesterday. Bert Jones
was opposed to Dolly" Gray on the
mound, and BERTHE was altogether too
tight with his productions, while the
Angel twirler was sapped around the
enclosure for a total Of fourteen hits,
home run and three doubles figuring
with the one-horse passes. Jones was
given stonewall support by the re-
mainder Of the Portland host, not one
of them being charged with an error
for his afternoons work.
Portland set the pace in the second
inning and was never headed. A wag
stimulated Mclean to great effort by
requesting him to "show your wife
what you can do,'' and the big Port
land backstop promptly made good by
sousing out a double to right. He
went to the third corner on Mitchelrs
single to left. Brashear dallied with
Runkle's bounce, but finally decided to
pass 1t to first although he had plenty
of time to nab Mclean at the plate.
The visitors brought another around
in the fourth, Mitchell opening the in
ming by landing on one of Gray's choic-
est for clean pass over the left fence.
Mitchell took the sticking honors for
the Portland squad. getting a home
drive and two singles in four times at
bat.
In the fifth did the Los Angeles
squad escape the obliterating brush
Ross and Eager both opened the in
ming by going down at first on raps to
short and Heinie Spies was the next ma
tive to take bat in hand and go to the
plate. The Teuton astonished himself
by reaching one into left which looked
good for an easy home run. The ball
struck telegraph pole, however. Sc
cured to the inside of the fence, and
the Seraphic hopes were shattered.
Gray was safe on a rap down to first
and Bernard jambed to Runkle. Runkle
made a pretty one-handed stop, but
passed the ball high to Mitchell. The
Portland first angle guardian made an
other spectacular grab, but Gray was
safe and Spies formed the van and
rear guard of the Seraphic procession
in the direction of the rubber.
Gray presented the Portlanders with
their third run in the sixth. Mclean
opened with double to left, the ball
Smiths grasp. Mitchell showed one
along to Smith, and in an effort to
double up Mclean and Colleague
Mitchell both were safe. Runkle ca
ressed the atmosphere, but Jones went
down short to first.
Gray then disappointed his hackers
by walking Atz, filing the bags and
the Seraphic supporters with grave con-
Germ. Van Buren was the next laddie
to essay to caress the leather, but hard
as Mister Gray tried he couldn't pre-
vent Van from hieing along to the first
angle on a personally conducted ex-
.cursion, forcing Mclean over for the
big mans second denting Of the rub
ber.
The last northern belligerent trotted
over In the last period. Van Buren,
started off with an out, short to first
but Householder was safe on freaky
bounce down Dillon's way. Household
er stole secon dand Schlahy singled to
right and also annexed the second bag.
McCreedie raped out a single to CEN
ter and Householder scored the final
run of the game.
