SAN FRANCISCO, June 21.-A sin
gle, a sacrifice and a double in the
last half of the last inning brought to
a close today at Recreation park one
of the prettiest games of baseball
played here in many days.
The score was to up to this sue
cession of circumstances. Then it be-
came to and the crowd went home.
The game from inning to inning was
contested every inch of the way. Up
to the sixth neither had been able to
score. After the sixth the Seals had
one tally and the Angels had one, and
the end seemed as far away as ever.
Baum's two bagger began things.
Bernard laid down an easy one to
Whalen but Jimmy fumbled 1t and
Bernard was safe, Baum going to
third. Flood popped up a fly to Goch-
nauer and Smith smashed a hot one
down the same way. Gochnauer had
Bernard out at second, but Wheeler
was interfered with In throwing home
and Baum scored on the play. Then
Wheeler singled, went to second and
came home on wild throw.
That's the way it stood up to the
end of the ninth when there came the
change mentioned above.

By Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, June 1.-For the
first time on the Pacific coast, and 1t
is believed the third instance in the
history of professional ball, an unas-
sisted triple play was made today by
Schlafy, Portland's second baseman,
in the first inning of the game with
Seattle. With Russ Hall, Seattle's
shortstop at second. and Walters the
Seattle center fielder at first, Kem-
mer made what appeared to be low
outf1eld hit. 1t failed to carry and
was brought down by Schlafy. In
the meantime both Walters and Hall
had started to run. Schlafiy touched
the second base retiring Hall, and then
unassisted caught Walters and touched
him with the ball before he could re-
turn to first base. Both French and
Roach pitched good ball, but punched
hits in the eighth turned the tide in
the home teams favor. Score:

Handbills VS.. Newspapers

Some business men have an idea
that handbills and dodgers are super
ior to newspapers as advertising medi-
ums. Handbills are good in their
way as auxiliaries but they are no
more to be compared to the advertising
columns of a newspaper, says the Dam
vile Advertiser, than a pushcart ped
dler on Broadway is to be compared
with John Wanamaker's great empor-
ium. The peddler attracts attention
for moment if he be an expert, but
the great store rivets the eye and
loosens the purse strings of those
whose trade is worth having. The
handbill is crumpled in hand and
soon thrown aside. The newspaper is
carried home read and re-read and filed
away. There is something besides the
advertising entertainment and
which adds value to the
advertising beside which it is placed.
are read now more
than ever before sometimes before what
is known as news, for advertisements
are sometimes the latest and most vital
to everyday life. The headlines Of an
advertis isement can be made as attrac-
tive as the headlines OF wedding and
the bargains afforded as alluring as
the wedding feast. The business man
who talks to the readers Of newspaper
as he talks to the customer in his store
is the one who wins. Use handbills
and posters if you wish, but place
your great hope for returns in the col
umns of the favorte newspaper.
