Had yesterdays game been the last
of the series and the deciding contest
in the pennant race for both teams a
more closely fought nor brilliantly
played game could not have resulted.
The only triple play completed on a

clubs was the climax which capped
two hours of the fastest play seen here
in months.
Mike Fisher had an additional sur
prise in store for the public when along
with Hall, who trotted out to the box
kid" Mohler of the Seals, took up a
position to the left of the keystone
sack. 1t was grand coup for Fisher
but the Seraphs are too classy crowd
for even ma-Seattle-' Frisco ag-
gregation to down. Although the
game was filled with thrills that kept
the fans on edge from the first Dolly
Cray, would only consent to enter the
Bengal hit column for three hits that
netted them a lonely run.

aphS who grasped every opportunity
which might cut off Il run.

han putting the ball on Dillon. Cra-
vath rounded third and continued in
a. mad tear for the plate when he saw
