There was a very large man-sized
baseball gone out at the Washington
street park yesterday afternoon, when
that heavy hitting crowd of Portland
ers again drove Mike Fishers Raisin
Pickers into the corral after a highly
exciting roundup, which went eleven
rousing innings.
Several things occurred which are
worthy of mention, and not least was
the removal of Mr.. Fisher from the
Fresno bench, where he had been
throwing verbal lunches of cabbages
at Umpire Bull Perrine.
Bull stood the harangue for quite a
while and then decided that Mike was
a bad monologist and requested his
Micklets to become absent. Mike was
for staying, but when Bull walked
over in the shade Of the stand and made
a two-minute ultimatum, the Fresno
manager slipped on his coat and Joined
President Bert in the latter'S box.
Mike continued his TRADE and loudly
proclaimed that he could prove the
fact of Bull having purchased the re-
splendent bouquet which was present.
ed to the indicator man on the opening
day of the series.
The affair that sent Mike raving oc-
CURED in the first half of the seventh,
after Judge" McCreedie had annexed
second. when Jud Smith blocked Dash
wood, causing his throw to go low.
Bull evidently did not see the bright
play of the former Angel, and when
the Fresnoites protested there was no
consolat ation from Perrine. Mike opened
his batteries and at the opening of the
eighth was sent away.
DeImas' Fielding
The fielding of Bert Delmas at third
for Fresno loomed easily the feature
of the day. Nothing was too difficult
for Del, who raked up everything that
came his way in lively fashion. The
three assists in the last half of the
sixth were all accredited to Delmas,
who captured triplets of grounders
which were of the ugly sort.
McHale was the first man up in the
inning and sent one down the third
base line which to all appearances was
safe. Del nabbed the sphere, however,
and shot it to Whaling ahead of Nc
Hale. Sweeney was the next man to
bat and sent another down toward the
difficult sack. Again Delmas corraled
the ball and assisted Sweeney out.
Mitchell essayed the last attempt and
also went out via the same route
Included in his seven assists and one
put out Delmas made one of the pret-
tiest stops seen on the local diamond
when he stabbed McLean's bad bound
er in the fifth and nailed Mac at first.
Then Bob Whaling had to raise some
excitement by performing in league
fashion during his first professional
game Bob is one of the famous
Whaling family which has supplied
crack amateurs for many years to Los
Angeles ball teams. Whaling played
first and put up corking good game,
incidentally making the hit which
scored Fresno's only run. Added to
this, Bob was the only man to steal
second off the dangerous whip of Nc
Lean, the giant Portland catcher, who
is rapidly becoming one of the fastest
backstops of Coast league diamond
fame.
The inimitable Casey again passed
up thrill by reaching Henderson's
swift grounder wide of first base in
the eighth.
Mclaughlin came flush into the lime
light when he gathered in McLean's
long foul fly to left in the ninth. 1t
was a great piece of work and Mac
was Obliged to doff his cap in passing
the stands.
Warren Hall Pitches
Warren Hall made his initial bow
with the Fresnos. He has been farmed
out by MANAGER Gil Meade and will
join. the Seraphs when they come
south. 1t was a beautiful game that
Warren, pitched. but Young Henderson
went him a few better.
Three lone bingles were all that
Fishers band could secure and they
were annexed in as many separate in
nings. Henderson possesses every
thing that goes to make the big Lacquer
and should be back among them in the
not distant future.
With the score tied in the eleventh
Sweeney singled infield. Mitchell
hunted and Hall threw wild. slamming
Mitch in the back with the ball and
allowing Sweeney to reach third base.
McCreedie singled to left and Nc
Laughlin allowed the ball to get be-
tween his legs Sweeny and Mitchell
scoring, McCreedie perching on third.
Mac was later caught between bases
and there was nothing more doing in
the scoring line.
Portland put the first run across in
the seventh on two singles and a
steal Fresno came back in the eighth,
when Whaling scored Dashwood from
third on a Texas Lacquer over second.
